Giles

I just want to thank you all for your prayers for my son - and just ask that the prayers continue - I thank God that when all else fails - he is all that we can hang on to - sometimes we turn to friends and family for support - but if you have not got that network where else is there to turn - but to our Father I give God thanks and praise for every single individual on this site I pray healing, encouragement, love, guidance, strength, for every one no matter what the situation - we are living in times now where everything in the world has gone mad - we have to give thanks for being able to wake up every morning - even though the heart may feel heavy and the eyes sting with tears, remember his words to us upon which he causes us to hope - I have to admit my faith has sometimes wained - especially when there has been more storms in my life than calm - I was rushed to hospital yesterday - for chest pains - I am only 44 - and all because of my worry for my son - the GP said my heart was ok - but have told me to take it easy - I also received a letter that my cousin who is 45 died from stress 2 weeks ago - so much pain everywhere - but we have to keep going - please continue to pray for my son - when I came home from the hospital and told him what had happened - he ignored me - I wanted to cry - I proceeded to just tidy up my home - even though my body had taken a battering - as I sit here writing this I feel spasms going though my back to my chest - and all because of my love and concern for my boy - but I have to keep going - that is all we can do - My love and blessings to you all in the name of Jesus

Praying 4 U still, that 2008 will be the year when ALL the prayers/prayer power for Giles will be released and lead him into healing and then into his destiny in Christ. May God bless, preserve and keep you both, guiding and protecting you day by day throughout this New Year. In Jesus' mighty name. Amen. bry xxx

Marylean - 9 months ago: 02/01/08 Thanking you very much Bry - hoping that 2008 brings you much harvest also in all areas of your life - There has been great improvement in Giles life, he has been taking the medication - it has a tendancy to leave him somewhat shattered - so its trial and error at the moment - receives his last home visit from the Crisis team today as he has come along quickly they reckon - but he will be attending therapy classes with others like himself - which should hopefully also help him regain his confidence and self worth. On the whole I am pleased - will shortly be updating the prayer board on this. Thanks again for all your prayers - much love - God Bless - Marylean

Heanenly Father, I come to You now, like the persistent widow to the judge, just to say that I will not give up praying for Giles' healing, until I hear that You, my God, have performed this miracle. Jesus tod us to "persist in prayer" so I stand in the gap for Marylean, whilst she rests and recovers, and will obey Jesus' commands to the letter, in this case, though I will from now, desist from posting every prayer session on this site. Nevertheless, intercession WILL continue unabated, until a BREAKTHROUGH/RESULT is achieved. I believe tha this is Your Will, my God, so ask You to honour Your Holy Word/Promise that You WILL indeed grant Marylean the desire of her heart to see her son restored to complete health, in mind, body and spirit. In Jesus' mighty name, I pray. Amen. These things can take time, but I feel that we `are "getting there." NEVER give up hope! God bless=== bry xxx

"YOUR WEAKNESS IS (GOD's OPPORTUNITY TO DISPLAY) HIS STRENGTH!"` Amen? "THOSE WHO WAIT ON THE LORD SHALL RENEW THEIR STRENGTH. THEY SHALL MOUNT UP ON WINGS LIKE EAGLES, THEY SHALL RUN AND NOT GROW WEARY, THEY SHALL WALK AND NOT FAINT" Amen (Isaiah 40) The secret is WAITING ON THE LORD, something I find incredibly difficult, but, when I do!!! it works every time! "THE JOY OF THE LORD IS YOUR STRENGTH" Don't forget to worship/fellowship until your joy i.e. your strength returns. Amen. Hope these help. In Jesus' name. Amen.

JESUS said "I HAVE GIVEN YOU AUTHORITY TO TRAMPLE ON (spiritual) SNAKES AND SCORPIONS AND TO OVERCOME ALL THE POWER OF THE EVIL ONE." His Words are eternal TRUTH, and He is "The same yesterday, Today and Forever" so His healing Power is exactly the same as 2000 years ago. Amen! I therefore take authority, in the MIGHTY NAME OF YASHUA, over ALL the spirits of depression, oppression, sadness, mental illness, paranoia, anorexia, suicidal ideation, and self-harm in Giles, and I BIND them in the NAME above every other name, in Jesus' name. Furthermore, I cover Giles in the sacred, precious BLOOD of the LAMB of GOD, and I wash him CLEAN of all these negative and life destroying forces ranged against him, by the principalities and powers of darkness. I COMMAND you, satan, to LET HIM GO, LOOSE HIM, and FLEE FROM HIM NOW, in JESUS' MIGHTY NAME. AMEN. GILES is a blood-bought, born again believer, a CHILD of GOD, and I absolutely FORBID you, satan, to harm him further, have any further diabolical control over his life, or that of his Mum. In Jesus' mighty name. Amen. I declare in the Heavenly realms that GILES is set free, and that "BY THE STRIPES OF JESUS, HE IS HEALED!" Amen. Lord Jesus, I ask You personally, my Lord, to ratify this proclamation, made in TOTAL faith, in the Heavenlies, and to bring it to pass down here on earth. I also ask You, Jesus, to encounter Giles, one-on-one, as You did with me, when I was so very ill with depression, and speak the necessary Words of Healing to and over him, and then to re-confirm to him, the amazing call that You have on his life. Please Lord, I beg you to touch, bless, and heal this man, this servant of Yours, my God, and RELEASE him into the plan that You have for his life. I ask this, and much, much more besides, for Your Glory, my God, and the sake of Your Kingdom. In Jesus' mighty name. Amen.and amen. Marylean, I feel that you are just too emotionally close to help Giles directly, but keep praying "BY THE STRIPES OF JESUS GILES IS HEALED" until you SEE the manifestations down nere. I feel that it has come to pass in the Heavenlies, but needs "following through" so to speak. God bless, preserve and keep you. Amen. Your prayabout buddy... bry xxx

God is NOT judging you, as you fear, but He IS LOVING you right in the midst of your trials and tribulations, and on out through them, because they will surely come to an end, when God has used them to refine and perfect your character. Amen? Did you get to www.FathersLoveLetter.com It truly is life-changing!!! Also you MUST practice self-preservation before you can help otherss effectively. This is a lesson I have had to learn, and re-learn, and then re-learn again, and keep re-learning!!! Guess I'm just a VERY slow learner in some areas! Thankfully God is a VERY patient teacher, and we are on a lifelong journey, discovering who we REALLY are, in Him (in Jesus Christ really.) Once you understand AND BELIEVE 100% your TRUE spiritual identity in Him ("co-heir with Christ" "Apple of God's eye" "Beautiful, precious daughter of the Most High God" "Seated in Heavenly places, at the right hand of the Son of God" "Daughter and friend of the Prince of Peace, the KING of KINGS and the LORD of LORDS, the Supreme Sovereign Lord of the Universe" and start to live accordingly, everything changes. Then, you maintain your EARTHLY identity, but live according to your spiritual identity, as a KINGDOM representative here on earth!) That's right, as "born again/from above believers, we have a DUAL identity! (Just like Superman/Supergirl, but ours is "hidden in Christ".) No wonder the Bible says that we are "Strangers and aliens" on this earth, because we are really "Citizens of Heaven" living in exile down on the earth, whilst we do a job/serve our Lord and Master, and our Heavenly Dad.Don't know if this is helping you, but it's definitely getting me ready for the next time I preach! I know you already know all this, but sometimes it helps to be reminded of who we are/what we are REALLY about. Amen? Lord Jesus, please bless superabundantly your beautiful, precious daughter, Marylean, as she continues to trust and serve you with all her heart. In Your mighty awesome name, Yashua, I pray. Amen. Take good care. God bless+++ With on-going prayers for Giles and you, Supergirl......................................................bry xxx

YOU ARE THE BEST MOTHER to have persevered the way that you have! I apologize. I had NO IDEA just what you have been through, so some of my comments must have seemed judgemental/insensitive. Forgive me. I thought that superpositive statements might break through the spiritual block. Maybe in time. God's time, NOT ours. St. Paul said "When you have done EVERYTHING you can, then JUST STAND (on the Word/Promises of God) and wait for Him to move on your behalf (for he SURELY WILL!)" THANKS SO MUCH for your prayers for Derek, Joan, Wesley and Olivia. MUCH appreciated! You are so right. Somewhere there is a prophecy that the time will come when ALL THINGS will be revealed, the Good, Bad and Ugly, so to speak. That time is NOW! The news is full of the EXTREMES of everything and, as you say, "EVERYTHING will be brought into the light/shouted from the rooftops!" Will continue to hold U up in prayer, whilst God uses your circumstances to build saintly perseverance and patience into your character. I pray that you NEVER lose HOPE and that your faith NEVER wavers. In Jesus' mighty name. Amen. bry xxx

Marylean,You are absolutely right. We do indeed live in terrible times, in fact the times that Jesus prophesied in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21 (almost word for word the same, as if God is saying "Watch out! Watch out! Watch out!) These are the so-called "end times," although I prefer the much less frequently used expression "In-between-times" because we are in between the first and second advents of Christ on earth. Jesus said about these times that there would be suffering that "the world has never seen before, or will ever again" and there is! He likened these times to the "birth pains" of a pregnant woman, just before the arrival of a beautiful child (His Return!) and said "These things MUST happen" and that "Because of the spread of evil, the Love of many would grow cold ." Sadly, this includes many christians who will "fall away." His phrase that I personally believe applies to NOW was "THE BEGINNING OF SORROWS." We are not yet at the end, but I definitely believe that we are at the beginning of the end! Some very eminent christians believe that we have just entered the Great Tribulation, with Iraq as a major war, and Iran as a "rumour of war" etc. One thing is for certain, Jesus is most certainly going to come back SOON, and, judging by the "signs of the times" in the world (that Jesus likened to figleaves in the end-time scriptures) it will be sooner rather than later. This is why we MUST be ready, as He told us to be in Matthew 25, so we don't miss it. Bue we should NOT be in fear. God is in COMPLETE control, no matter what the world looks like. Jesus said to us that when we "see these things" we should "LIFT UP" our heads because "YOUR REDEMPTION DRAWS NEAR" whether this will mean we are "raptured" or not. Amen, I say. The sooner the better! Please visit my site/post a message if I can be of any further help. Praying for you, and, of course, for Giles' swift recovery. In Jesus' mighty name. Amen.Your brother in Christ bryan xxx

Marylean, I suffered from recurrent depression from my teens and was a Prodigal Son for @ 23 years, before the Lord made Himself known to me in a dramatic one-on-one encounter. Now I'm training to be a preacher of His Holy Word! God moves in mysterious ways. Amen. Apart from counselling, I was greatly helped by the book "THE POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING" by Norrman Vincent Peale (Vermillion Press @ £8) It's applied scripture, plus simple exercises to get back confidence (I had none, or very little all my early years.) For instance, Chapter One is called "BELIEVE IN YOURSELF." I thought I just needed to believe in God, but He showed me that I also need to believe in myself, and my God-given talents, so that TOGETHER with HIM, I can have the abundant life Jesus promised to ALL believers. The main scripture in Chap. One is "I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH JESUS CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME." If Giles is able to say this over and over, as an affirmation, say 10 times, morning noon and night, until it goes from his head to his heart, then his spirits would lift accordingly, and his confidence would return. He needs medical treatment AS WELL, particularly if he has had any suicidal thoughts (I used to have lots of those) God will work THROUGH his counsellor/doctor/nurses/carers too, but ANYTHING that he can do for himself, will help to restore his self-esteem.Amen? It's a "dip-in" book., NOT a "read cover-to-cover" book. Whichever Chapter "jumps out" at you, from the index, each day, is the one to read and practice that day. It's the practice that gets results, just like learning to play the piano. Remember, too, to say to yourself frequently "Everything (absolutely EVERYTHING) works together for good for those who love God, who are called according to His purposes." Amen? I know that you Love God. I've seen your prayers, and I know that He has called you, for such a time as this. Make sure He also goes on to CHOOSE you, to serve Him in a totally unique way, because "Many are called, but few are chosen." To be chosen you have to endure trials such as these, which God allows to strengthen your faith and to learn TOTAL dependence and obedience to Him. He has called/is calling you. He WILL choose you if you simply and humbly follow the plan He has for your life, step by step, moment by moment, hour by hour, day by day, ever listening for that still small voice saying to you "This is the way. Walk in it." May God bless you, and protect you and Giles from ALL evil 24/7, as you stand on his Word and patiently wait for Him to move. "When you have done everything you can" says St. Paul "then JUST STAND (on the promises/Word of God) and you WILL see God move in your situation." Amen. Heavenly Father, please touch and heal Giles' depression, as You did mine, and lift him to a new level of HOPE and CONFIDENCE in You, my God, for I ask this in Your Son's beloved name, in Jesus' mighty name. Amen. bry xxx

Marylean - 11 months ago: 12/11 Your words brought tears to my eyes - Giles has refused the help of the counsellors and doctors - as they said, if he does not meet them half way, they cannot force him - so I just wait on God now, that is all I can do - my son has not spoken with me for a long time even though we are in the same house - the only time he has spoken has been in an aggressive tone, which is like a red cloth to a bull where I am concerned - so now I choose not to bother - along with my message to you below - thankyou - amen

Marylean, the most precious spiritual gifts we are given are Love, Joy and Peace, the peace that passes all human understanding and "The JOY of the Lord is our STRENGTH." Amen? The enemy knows that if he can steal our Joy in the Lord, then he can make our faith weak, and he then gets us to neglect fellowship with strong believers, until we become isolated, and (he hopes) give up altogether.DON'T LOSE YOUR JOY IN THE LORD! Amen? Giles is under God's Holy hand. He is God's son/child and God cares for him even MORE than you do. We simply do our best as parents, but, RELAX and let God sort him out, in His mysterious ways. Amen? "SUBMIT TO GOD RESIST THE devil and he will FLEE!" "Flee" means literally "run in terror" so we can terrorise the arch-terrorist when we resist him, by quoting the right scriptures (this is how Jesus defeated him in the wilderness (LUKE 4) ) First, though, we must surrender everything in our lives to God, our minds/will/emotions, our bodies with all frailities, and our feelings good and bad. Then cover yourself and Giles with the blood of Jesus (in Prayer) and then "put on the full armour of God (in prayer.)" (Read Ephesians 6) Then quote LUKE 4 to the enemy. Read it aloud. Then remind him of the CROSS at CALVARY and the RESURRECTION that overcame the powers of darkness and death itself. Then go to the end of his story (REVELATION 20) Read the whole of the chapter out loud (if you can) ESPECIALLY verse 10, which he HATES. he will soon FLEE (run in terror) if he hasn't already done so. This is spiritual warfare which we must practice as soldiers of Christ, in order that we always walk in victory. Yes satan is the so-called "god of this world" but he is only a fallen angel who was kicked out of Heaven. We serve the SUPREME SOVEREIGN LORD of the UNIVERSE, JESUS CHRIST, so, if we remain in Him, then it's "NO CONTEST!" (just like in the wilderness. Remember "the Battle belongs to the Lord" He will bring victory every day, if we remain steadfast in Him. Have you seen www.FathersLoveLetter.com It's life-changing!!! It will reveal to you just how much God REALLY does love you! Amen. Heavenly Father, I pray that this will help and encourage Marylean, because I send it with Your Love for her, the Love that took Jesus to the Cross to die for her, and I pray this in Jesus' mighty name. Amen. God bless+++ Your brother in Christ bryan xxx

Marylean - 11 months ago: 12/11/07 Thanks very much Bry - everything you have written I know - but I would like to believe that God understands where my son and I are at this stage in our lives - I am very tired - there was a time when I would stomp the floors at 4am in the morning to pray, I would attend the early morning prayers at church - when I remember all this compare to where I find myself now, I feel ashamed - at the moment I feel very weak - I can pray for others, but find it hard to pray for my son and myself - dont get me wrong - I pray and ask God to help Giles - but some days all I can utter is the Lords prayer - what sort of a mother am I - I just hope God understands - and wont judge me for this - Bry thank you so much for your prayers - God bless u - amen xxx
