An Amazing Breakthrough in Warfare Prayer

Wow... I cried when I read this e-mail from my church Pastor... really encouraged my heart...

Dear Covenantors,

An Amazing Breakthrough in Warfare Prayer

Last night I came back from Steven's mother baptism amazed at the way God worked marvelously in answer to prayer.

In order for you to appreciate the extraordinary nature of God's answer to prayer, let me give you a chronology of events:

It was only a week ago, last Tues, Ps Sum and wife visited Steven's mother - but she was resistant and asked them to leave her room.

She has already confirned with her youngest son her desire for Buddhist funeral rites. Deposits were paid.

On Sunday morning, at our corporate prayer, we prayed for our loved ones using the Warfare Prayer Guide. Steven/Polly prayed specifically for their mother.

On Sunday afternoon, Ps Sum and wife visited again and shared the Gospel - there was an amazing change of heart, she prayed to receive Christ.

Immediately she requested water baptism. Scheduled for 8.30pm, but her condition deteriorated quickly. Arrived earlier and she was baptized in the presence of all family members. A few minutes later she went to be with the LORD!

The 3 sons that are non-Christians saw the amazing grace of God at work. The son who was arranging the Buddhist funeral rites saw the visible difference in his mother when she chose to believe in Christ, there was a real sense of peace coming over her.

At about 5am Monday morning, the mother grabbed the son's hand and said, "Thank You Jesus, thank you Jesus". The son sensed a sweet fragrance in the room. The mother passed away very peacefully, she just crossed over to Paradise with no struggle.

We learn from this breakthrough that -

Nothing is impossible with God. Many of us have been harbouring unbelief in our hearts when we think of the salvation of family members. Somehow we find it hard to believe that a breakthrough can come. So don't give up hope.

Praying warfare prayer is important for the tearing down strongholds of the Enemy. He is constanty blinding and binding the lost to idolatry and darkness. See below the prayer guide we used on Sunday. Copies of the full article on Warfare Prayer Guide will be made available on Sunday at the reception. Standing together in agreement in prayer is crucial.
