Please, let us all focus our prayers on Terry Schiavo. Also, her husband Michael. I have been praying that God will get into Michaels heart and mind and that Michael will have the feeding tube re-inserted before it is too late.
Pray for Terry's parents as well. For their peace.

Lord God, Almighty~it is now said that there is no one who can intervene in Terri's behalf. No human being is willing or able. Justice itself stands guard to guarantee she dies. Lord God, when You had no one Your own arm worked Salvation for us. Where is Your arm, now, O God? You are not man, that You are restricted by our laws. You are the Mighty One. The Maker of all. The Creator of this Universe and every thing in it. Show Yourself Strong. Defend Your Name, O Lord. Terri and her parents and Your people who love You and Who believe in the sanctity of life plead with You to come down and put an end to this gross abuse and misuse of power. Father, if You do not act, how will Your people know You will come to our aid if we have need and are oppressed by those stronger than us? Show us Father that You care. Show us that You will answer when we pray! For You are trustworthy O God! We have never seen the righteous forsaken, or their seed begging bread. You will not fail now. We look to You, our Hope.

Forgive us, Lord, when we appoint judges who do not serve your righteous causes as in the Terri Schiavo case. On our own failure to act, we are on a slippery slope when life can be taken from the helpless and defenseless.

Forgive us, Lord, when we can no longer attend some churches, even in America, without the threat of being arrested without just cause.

Forgive us, Lord, for not paying attention when we might have been able to prevent these occurrences. Forgive, us Lord, for not relying upon You more, our Defender and Righteous Judge.

Dear Family, I was in prayer this morning and felt compelled of the Holy Spirit to send the email below to Governor Bush. I also felt led to ask Dr. D. James Kennedy if he might agree to also ask the Governor and President Bush to call the believers in our nation to a day of prayer and fasting in behalf of Terri Schiavo while there is still time for God to act. And, I am asking you to spend a 24 hour period fasting and praying from 5:00p.m. tonight (Monday) until 5:00p.m. tomorrow night (Tuesday). Perhaps, our God will hear from heaven and intervene in Terri's behalf. Much love, Terri

Dear Governor Bush, I've been in prayer this morning concerning Terri Schiavo. I know your heart is breaking and that you feel your hands are tied. And, in the natural, they are. But, you and our President have one thing that you can do. I am including here an excerpt from "The Law of Faith" by Norman Grubb. I am asking that you and President Bush call those in the nation who believe to a day of fasting and prayer for Terri while there is still time for God to act. May God bless you, sir, for your love and faithfulness.

pp162-166 Strategy in Faith...
Jehoshaphat was human. He feared, the record says. Quite right, quite normal. Necessary, in fact, for fear is faith in reverse; and faith, once roused to believe the worst, can be reversed to believe the opposite. Paul feared when he came to Corinth after his rough handling in Philippi and Thessalonica; but he converted his fear into a boomerang and made it the driving force of a greater determination than ever before to preach none other "save Jesus Christ and Him crucified". Even Jesus feared, but the fear aroused "strong crying and tears;, and the crying an overcoming faith. He "was heard in that He feared".



Jehoshaphat also used his fear aright. He did not allow it to give him spiritual paralysis by flooding his mind with counsels of panic and exhausting his energies on futile preparations. He did not allow it to hold him a captive in the power of appearances. He took the way by which the panic-stricken soul struggles up from the grim dungeon of satanic threats to the bracing highlands of God's deliverances, from the cry of terror to the laugh of faith, from shoulders bowed beneath the load of care to bruising the enemy beneath the feet.

He called the nation to a day of fasting and prayer.

Not to front-line action, but to staff consultations. It was the strategist at work; the day of tactics had not yet come. It was the general calling his staff together to meet the threat of invasion.

But, now note the contents of his prayer which the record quotes in full. He did not reach his specific request until the last sentence. All the rest was asking obvious questions of God, the affirmative answer to each of which was equally obvious. "Art not Thou God in heaven?" "Rulest not Thou over all?" "In thine hand is there not power and might so that none is able to withstand Thee?" Then, a little closer to home: "Art not Thou our God who didst drive out the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and gavest it to the see of Abraham Thy friend for ever?" "And didst Thou not say that if, when evil cometh, we cry unto Thee, thou wilt hear and help?"

What was Jehoshaphat really doing? Not persuading God, but himself! Piling up in his own mind evidence that God had given him a right to appeal to Him in this case. Finding, in fact, a foothold for faith. And that brings us to the real roots of effectual prayer. It comes from God first to me, and then back from me to God. It is God who has purpose to fulfill, in the destruction of the devil's work, in shewing forth His glory and grace to men; it is God who permits this or that experience to come to us: and, then, if we will listen, it is God who tells us how He will glorify His Name and confound the devil by getting us out of it. We may appear to be crying to Him to deliver; but, what really is happening is that, as we reason and plead and present His promises to Him, the Spirit is getting through to us and conveying to us the sure fact that God has long ago planned the answer. He knows what we have need of before we ask. He responds before we call. In other words, while we are busy persuading God, in reality He is persuading us! For what He wants is our faith; but, faith is not easily attained in times of stress and bewilderment, for faith is hearing God's voice and believing Him, and the troubled mind may need to pour itself out with many a groan and a tear and struggle, before it is in a fit condition of release to hear that ever-speaking voice.

So Jehoshaphat "set himself to seek the Lord', separated himself by fasting from al that would distract, publicly reasoned with God as to why He should help, and with a final admission of helplessness and bewilderment, asked God to work.

The rest now followed just in the way we would expect, resulting in a mighty national exploit of faith. Up arose a prophet who assured the king and people by the word of the Lord that there was no need to fear or fight in this battle; they were just to march out tomorrow, stand still when they came in sight of the enemy, and see the Lord's salvation. (Prophets were God's messengers in those days, because the Spirit and the Word were not yet given to the Church). But, such a word would have been to Jehoshaphat as the voice of one who mocked, if his heart had not been first prepared to take it. By now, by fearing and fasting, reasoning and groaning, the soil was ploughed up ready to receive the seed of faith.

King and people accepted, worshipped, prayed. Then, next morning (what sort of a night does a man have who has already believed in a crisis?), Jehoshaphat spoke out the word of faith. The mountain top was reached. "Hear me, O Judah, and ye in habitants of Jerusalem; believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established; believe His prophets (His Word), so shall ye prosper." And so complete was his faith it had reached the laughing stage, and in place of setting the battle in array, he proposed sending forward a choir! And so intoxicated with faith were the people with faith that they agreed. Was there ever such a marching out to battle?

The end is well known. How, as Judah sand and praised, the three armies got fighting among themselves, till they had completely destroyed each other; and how, when Judah arrived, they found them all "dead bodies fallen tot the earth", and it took them three days to gather the spoil.

Upon what did it all hand? Upon Jehoshaphat giving time to get God's mind upon it. Without this, such fantastic behaviour could never have entered the mind of a level-headed ruler. With it, a glorious victory was won without a casualty.
