72 hours of prayer ... Please join us if you can ..

Thursday July 12, Friday July 13, and Saturday July 14

Dear Family and Friends:

My son's doctors have recommended surgery. Our family believes in the miracles and wonders of God and in the power of prayer. Therefore, we are requesting your support as we embark upon 72 consistent hours of prayer, beginning the day before the surgery and ending the day after. While our family is always in need of your support, we are requesting a state of special prayer to protect and cover my son during this critical time.
The twelfth chapter of Acts beginning with the first verse describes an account of Peter in prison. Herod had just killed James and had intended to kill Peter after Passover. There are two extremely notable points about this story. First, Peter slept on the night before his scheduled assassination. What peace the power of the Master’s promises brings to His children. Jesus had promised Peter that he would not die of an early age. Therefore, Peter was able to rest in the assurance of that promise. In like manner, we will rest in God’s promises of healing for my son. The second significant point is recorded in verse five which tells us that “Peter was therefore kept in prison, but constant prayer was offered to God for him by the church.” As believers of Christ, you are the church. The text in Acts goes on to tell us that Peter was bound by two chains between two guards and two more guards protected the door to the prison. By man’s standards, escape was impossible. But we know that nothing is too hard for Jehovah Nissi (God Our Banner). God sent an angel to escort Peter from the prison. Peter’s chains were loosened and he was led by the angel past both guard posts. For my son to emerge from this surgery with full removal of the tumor, no damage to his brain, and no side-effects or negative impact of any kind may be impossible by man’s standards. But the church is not convicted to live by man’s standards. We believe in the power of God Almighty and we know that God can and will deliver my son just as he did Peter.
The account of Peter’s release from prison ends with him knocking on the door of Mary, the mother of John where a community of believers was praying. Rhoda, went to the door and after hearing Peter’s voice, was filled with so much gladness, she did not open to the door but ran to tell everyone that Peter was there. The people did not believe her. They went so far as to tell Rhoda that “she was beside herself”. But persistent Peter kept knocking and after opening the door, the people were astonished. After God performs my son’s miracle, there will be some that will be astonished. But perhaps, this is the very reason why God is allowing these things to transpire (so that unbelievers will be drawn to him and believers will be drawn into a deeper relationship with him).
Another critical biblical account is recorded in Mark 2 and Luke 5. Jesus preached to a crowd in a house in Capernaum. The crowd was so large that four men could not get anywhere near Jesus with a man (presumably their friend) so He could heal him. The friends were determined to obtain healing for the man and uncovered the roof and lowered the man to Jesus. We invite you to be the Friends of my son that through intercessory prayer, lower my son to the feet of the Master.
A chart of general prayers to be offered each hour is included. This will ensure that we are praying on one accord. If you are willing to commit to being a Friend of my son, please email us at jailynnsjourney@gmail.com and let us know what hour(s) you will support my son through prayer. This will allow us to coordinate with everyone and ensure my son has full prayer coverage for the entire 72 hour period. Your support and obedience to God is appreciated far more than you will ever know.
As we believe that the blood protected the first born from destruction at the first Passover, we not only pray that the blood of Christ will protect my son (the firstborn) in the same manner, we also pray that someone who does not have a love relationship with our Savior today, will have one after witnessing the power of prayers to God.

Sincerely,
Jai
