Dear Doves,
 
I just wanted to tell each and every one of you who have sent in prayer requests that I consider it a privilege to pray for your needs, and to be given the opportunity to intercede on your behalf to the throne of God.  I've wanted to tell you all this for a long time.  I just feel it is important, especially being in the end days, that we be transparent with our brothers and sisters in Christ when we have needs or personal trials, to stand together, and to share our burdens and put our faith in God to help us in our times of need.  I have faith that our Lord is right now meeting each and every need!
 
I also want to share a huge miracle that the Lord has done in my life this week.  I constantly pray that the Lord will keep my children safe.  My twins were allowed to get their driver's license at age 17, and have been driving for 6 months now.  So far, so good.  Well, Monday morning I was awakened with a call that one son had just had a bad wreck on the way to school.  He had looked behind him to see if he could safely merge into the left turning lane, when the SUV (with a trailer hitch) in front of him apparently just stopped, and he rear-ended him at 40 miles per hour.  He had just turned his head forward again when the airbags deployed, and had never seen it coming.  The car is totaled, radiator gone, AC gone, engine cracked, frame bent, mucho body damage, you name it, and a total loss since my insurance agent convinced me to cover them with liability coverage only.  But, thank God my son is unhurt!  The mechanic just called me with the report of the damage to the car, and said from the looks of it, he couldn't see how anyone could have walked away alive from this wreck.  Not only is he alive and well, (without a scratch), but many people told him to look for marks on his face from the airbags, and marks/burns on him from the seatbelt.  So, he checked... nothing.  He told me, and has told many others since: "I can't find any marks from the seatbelt on my body, or marks from the airbag on my face or anywhere else, so I think instead I should be looking for HAND PRINTS!"  I thank God he miraculously protected my son, gave him such a love for the Lord in the first place, and now has given him a new testimony for his peers whom he is always trying to get saved.  Bad things do happen to good people, but our Lord is always there to save us and protect us, and turn the bad into good.  I can't thank Him and praise Him enough for what he has done with this miracle in our lives!!!
 
I feel so blessed from this experience that I shouldn't feel any needs at all right now, but I do.  I am currently involved in a spiritual battle over his brother.  I recently discovered, when he left his computer on a few months ago with his email program open, (and I went to shut it down) filthy emails that his "girlfriend" had sent him.  She is a year older, and unlike him has past experience, and has been gleefully offering him the forbidden fruit for some time.  Also, this is the same timeframe that I've noticed him becoming rebellious and hateful to me.  This whole experience has broken my heart, as I try to talk to him and he lies to me, and has even raged at me over any mention of her name.  She won't come near me, and tells him she is "afraid of me!"  (I tell you truly she should be!!!) But, knowing how teenagers are, if I speak against her, it will only drive him closer to her, but I also can't ignore it and go on.  He's my son and I love him dearly.  He was always the sweet, loving one, who gave up everything for his brother.  I have prayed for him and tried to minister to him constantly, but feel that this Jezebel in his life is winning.  This is my Christian son, who was saved, went to Christian school for many years, who took a vow of chastity until marriage, and now this!  He's the only one of my 3 sons that won't talk with me about the rapture, all because of date-setting which he thinks is bunk now because it didn't happen 7 years ago when he was young, so he claims it may not happen for 30 or 300 more years.  (But, I do notice he listens to every word when his brothers and I discuss it.) I know time is short, and I feel I may be losing out on this spiritual battle I'm facing, over his soul, so I ask for your help.  Please pray for my sweet Jason to be loosed from these dark bonds of sin he is involved with.  The beautiful young man that he always was is still in there, but I need for God to intercede and convict him, so he will turn back to Him, and he will no longer be blinded by this sin and deception.  He's obviously ashamed of it, since he still chooses to lie to me, but trust me, he has been drawn deep into it, as her emails describing the particulars prove. So, please bind the strongman who is fighting me for my son, and pray for God to convict him of this evil in his life. I pray he will ask Jesus for forgiveness, and come back into the fold.  I know this spiritual warfare is going on inside of him also, because he is now having heart palpitations, gets short of breath, and dizzy, which I feel is stress/anxiety over doing what he knows is wrong.  The devil is really coming against God's people right now, knowing time is short.  I'm desperately fighting dark forces for my son right now, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your prayers for him, and being here for me!
