Would you pray for a young lady by the name of Lauren for me? She is only 34 years old, has two children, is divorced, living with her mother, but she is suffering deeply from emotional trauma and probably from a lot of other things, too. I am praying with her twice a week but this is a lady who probably should be praying with someone every day for a couple of months. My heart goes out to her because she is calling out for help. I am also waiting to hear from a lady by the name of Liz who has emailed me and attempted to establish contact. She has lost her marriage, her home, and her children to divorce. Needless to say, she is suffering depression, and all of its results, as well. So far, she had not written back to set up prayer sessions. I know this likely will not be understood but I'll say it anyhow. I pray with a lot of women. A few men, but mostly women. Those I hear from are generally confused or suffering from emotional pain for various reasons. In many cases, these women have been emotionally wounded as children. I am not a hypnotist nor a mesmerist. I don't engaged in guide imagery, suggestiveness, or anything remotely related to such practices. All I am is an intercessor and I pray with people. Where this takes people, I have no control over unless, of course, it involves deceptiveness or lies or confusion. then I am responsible for picking up on such deviations and assisting a person in becoming focused on what Jesus is saying. I am also responsible for making sure it stays Biblical. Otherwise, I am only a witness to what Jesus is doing and nothing more. However, in the discernment that the Holy Spirit gives me, I hear things and one thing I listen for is the little girl inside who comes to the surface of a person's voice. No, there is nothing mystical about it. Men do a better job of hiding the little boy who was wounded but with the men with whom I pray, I hear the little boy crying out for help, too. I have never prayed with a grown man that I haven't seen break down in almost uncontroable sobbing when the Holy Spirit as reached down into the life of that little boy who was hurt and regardless how big and how tough the man has been. My calling, and one I did not choose, and furthermore told the Lord I had no interest in, has to do with ministering more to women than men. Thus, I listen for the voice of the little girl inside. Something I have learned through intercessory prayer is how much Jesus loves little girls. I'm not at all suggesting he doesn't love little boys. After all, he was a little boy Himself once, you know? I'm just saying, due to what God has told me to do, I hear the little girl down inside who is hurt. I could name you dozens of women to pray for right now and I am not attempting to leaving any of those out but for now, if you would especially remember Lauren, and also Liz, I would appreciate it. The Little girl in Lauren has been greatly traumatized. I wish I could spend more time with her because it is needed but it just isn't possible. I do pray with her twice a week so far. She is buried alive in grief and sorrow and emotional pain that would kill most of us to suffer. I would mention others for whom I would like you to pray but some of them are on this list and I don't want to make them feel any worse than they already do. My point is, I love these little girls. Why? Because I can feel the love that Jesus has for these little ones that were hurt. My desire is to see them free and walking as adults while at the same time we are His little children. More than anything in my life, I desire that the love of Christ be felt by those He brings across my path. And here you thought I was a big bad old meanie. Nope. I'm just a softy. My mouth gets me into a lot of trouble but my heart is perfect before God. Phil. He's ready when you are. www.SafePlaceFellowship.com
