Jesus prayed!
"Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened" (Luke 3:21).
"And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed" (Mark 1:35).
"And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray" (Mark 6:46).
"And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed" (Luke 5:16).
"And it came to pass in those days, that he (Jesus) went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God" (Luke 6:12).
"And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone" (Matthew 14:23).
"And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God" (Luke 16:12).
"After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen" (Matthew 6:9-13).
"At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight" (Matthew 11:25-26).
"Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth" (John 11:41-43).
"And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray. And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering" (Luke 9:28-29).
"And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren" (Luke 22:31-32).
"Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them" (Hebrews 7:25).
"And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever" (John 14:16).
"Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence" (Matthew 19:13-15).
"Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder" (Matthew 26:36).
"And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray" (Mark 14:32).
"And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour? Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done. And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy. And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words" (Matthew 26:39-44).
"And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground" (Luke 22:41-44).
"Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered" (Hebrews 5:7-8).
"Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors" (Isaiah 53:12).
"And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt....He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done...And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words" (Matthew 26:39,42,44).
"And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him. And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt" (Mark 14:35-36).

And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen" (Matthew 6:9-13).

A year ago, I never would have dreamed that we would collect data to submit to the World Melanoma Conference, on Spiritual Health.
Another one of those....accidents....or God's plan in action.
On June 11, 2009, I began to ask all the new patients, "Would you like to pray about your melanoma and surgery right now?" I had 80 say yes, and 10 say no. If they voiced no, I would kindly accept their response in the chart, "Spiritual health, no." Over the course of 5 months, 23 people accepted Christ as their personal Savior, and made a vow to Jesus Christ, to live for him!
My husband, took another leap of faith, by putting the statistics into writing. The abstract was accepted, as his first abstract over several weeks was also.
I rested quite well as we worked on statistics and the paper, poster. Yes he placed my name as first author. What a surprise I had, when the data of the first abstract and the second one was at the same time. I felt very comfortable when I believed he would submit all the data on both abstracts. To present the data to my peers, and also others in a higher level of expertise, than I. I had experience as an RN since 1980, 28 years, but still it was a great fear I needed to overcome.
That day arrived, and I was quite afraid, with my knee's knocking together as if they were playing an instrument, along with my palms being very wet, from perspiration. I prayed, "Lord I cannot do this, but YOU can! Please fill me with Your Holy Spirit, to speak through me and for me.
The room was quiet with the 30 people present. All responded favorable to the study. One negative voice of fear that I didn't have a spiritual degree in nursing. Later that day the study was presented to the entire audience of approximately 1000 melanoma experts, MD's, PHD's, Scientist's, and from all over the world. Is was stated from the study, that increased spiritual health is needed, by our statistics.
What they didn't know was, the statistics were only patients and family members. That did not list the nurses, or vendors who visited the office who heard the gospel, and who are believers.
More and more people are coming for prayer. God's spirit is pouring down on the office. Is it because He is the CEO of the company. Mostly everything in the waiting room are Bibles and devotional's. People are coming in hurting and want comfort that only Jesus Christ can truely bring.
God is our Savior, Jesus Christ! The maker of heaven and earth. We give HIM all the glory!! PTL.
"Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." Matthew 19:26
"Lord Jesus, please start with me today, by refining me in the fire, until I look more like YOU. Cleanse me with your precious blood, Lord. Lord fill me with Your Holy Spirit, and let me walk in your foot steps and speak Your words. Place Your lost sheep in my path. Save Your people Lord Jesus today. Send a revival, now Lord Jesus. Thank you Lord Jesus, and we pray in Your precious name and will Lord. Amen."
Since June 11, 2008 we have seen 94 people accept Christ as their personal Savior, and the Holy Spirit poured into them. Praise the Lord!! It happens almost daily now. Almost always after prayer.
Would you pray for more people to come to Christ everywhere and that He will keep blessing the office? We covet your prayers. Also would you please commit to praying for the new believers, that their new faith will grow? If you could pray every week or everyday for more people to come to Christ? Come to Wednesday prayer please at the office 12-1pm. Hope and praying you will be there!
Love in Christ Jesus!
