Last night I got a call from a friend whose life has been very hard and difficult . Yet again, he was faced with another tragedy. He just kept saying, “my boy , my boy, he’s gone.” I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. “He’s gone. He’s gone. My boy is gone.
Let me give you a little history. My friend is only 25 years old. Since I met him, he has been pronounced dead at least twice. One time the coroner had been called and the white sheet had been placed over him. The coroner checked his pulse and said, “He’s dead” left and went to get the body bag. When the coroner came back, he was breathing (A miracle, right?). A while back some might remember me soliciting prayers for him. The ironic thing is if you saw him you would never know. In February of this year he was trying to prepare me for his death but to God’s grace and mercy my friend is still here. To God be the Glory!
Before this, and before he moved here to Birmingham; before I met him, he already had lost a wife and two small children to a car accident. Remember , he is only 25 years old. During this Memorial day weekend , his son’s mother was killed in a car accident right here in Birmingham. Almost too much to believe this is true. I know.
Yesterday Dj’s nine year old son and his sister were killed in a car accident in LA while on vacation. Dj was here and working when he got the call from family of what had happened. He is a truck driver and works night shift for the company that employs him. Against my advice he finished his shift and worked .
DJ came to see me about 2:30am this morning. He kept asking me to say something to him. Honestly, I did not have words for him. We hugged and cried. Dj looks at me and says, “ I know one thing that God is good.” I said yes,” God is good. “
Not getting into everything that was said but please pray for him. He is truly broken and vulnerable and the devil really wants him to give up. One reason he is alive today is because he chose to fight and trust God. Yesterday, I shared a prayer not knowing how important it would be to be praying for someone else. He was one of the people I thought about when I was praying that prayer yesterday morning.
Today, whoever it is that crosses your mind, Pray for them. You do not have to know what is going on but if God puts them on your mind, please don’t’ take that opportunity lightly. Pray!
“ Father, we come this morning interceding on behalf of those who have been a blessing in our lives. We plead the blood of protection over them. No evil shall befall them. No plague come near their dwelling. No weapon formed against them shall prosper. Every Godly desire that is consistent with your will for their lives we pray for a quick manifestation . satan we bind you. Over every household, over their families well being. We bind every demonic attempt to destroy them in Jesus Name. We loose divine protection over them. Excellent angels are loosed to protect them. We speak overflow blessings over their finances. I speak the mind of Christ over their thought life and we bind every negative word spoken against them. Today, Father we pray for unprecedented favor to rule and bully their lives. Favor on the job. Favor in the community and Favor with all who have to do with their success. We lift them up before you God and we ask and thank you for blessing them and their family. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen”
