Encouragement and Prayer: Healed By Confession and Prayer! (2/27/25)

Encouragement and Prayer: Healed By Confession and Prayer! (2/27/25)

This is the audio from the February 27, 2025 live social media broadcast of encouragement and prayer by Impact Prayer Ministry’s director, Tom Lemler.

“When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick.”
Matthew 8:16 (NIV)

This week we will focus our prayer time on knowing Jesus as the One who heals.  As Jesus encountered people, He not only taught them, He had compassion on them and healed them in every way imaginable.  While casting out demons and healing the sick was important work done by Jesus as He was here on earth, the most valuable work was the spiritual healing made possible by His death, burial, and resurrection.  Far too often in our prayers, we focus on a good thing — the physical healing of people — and miss a better thing, the spiritual healing of ourselves and others.  Pray that  God would cover you in His grace as you seek forgiveness and healing of anything that would hinder your prayers.  Ask God to help you spend at least as much time praying for the spiritual well-being of people as you do praying for their physical health.

“Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.”
James 5:16 (NIV)

As you pray this week, focus on praying about some aspects of healing that you ought to seek for yourself and others.  Pray that you would have wisdom in agreeing with those you have sinned against or those who have wronged you.  Ask God to help you pray with and for others, especially those you are in disagreement with.

Proverbs 16:24 (NIV)

As you pray this week, focus on praying about some aspects of healing that you ought to seek for yourself and others.  Pray that you would speak pleasant words and know the healing that you will both give and receive in doing so.  Pray that you would guard the words you allow into your life so the ones which take root in your heart and mind would bring healing.

Encouragement and Prayer: A Wise Path! (2/21/25)

Encouragement and Prayer: A Wise Path! (2/21/25)

This is the audio from the February 21, 2025 live social media broadcast of encouragement and prayer by Impact Prayer Ministry’s director, Tom Lemler.

“Enter through the narrow gate.  For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.  But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”
Matthew 7:13-14 (NIV)

This week we will focus our prayer time on finding, walking, and proclaiming the correct path.  If you’ve ever followed a path or road which abruptly ended in a place no where near your intended destination, you likely understand the importance of following the correct path.  While Jesus states few will find the correct path, it is not because the path is hidden but rather many are not looking for it.  Pray that you would actively seek God’s guidance as you spend time in His Word and in prayer.  Pray that your life would be evident to others in a way which points them to Jesus as the path of life.  Pray for wisdom in avoiding all the enticements of the path of destruction.  Pray for the humility to repent and change when you discover the path you are on is not correct.

“Listen, my son, and be wise, and keep your heart on the right path.”
Proverbs 23:19 (NIV)

As you pray this week, ask God to help you know the path which leads to life so that you can walk on it every day.  Pray that you would desire godly wisdom as more valuable than all the wisdom of the world.  Pray for a listening spirit and mind which can hear the instructions of God regarding the path you take.  Pray that the emotions of  your heart would  not lead you astray as you choose to listen to the wisdom of God for direction.
