We are now over 500 prayer groups using my book Sword of the Spirit to pray for our nation and to intercede for others. This means that we now network with 4,000 intercessors! This is so exciting. Join these prayer warriors in fasting and praying for the issues on pages 20, 21, 22 and the prayers for our Nation on page 114. Also we need a miracle for Christina, O. and F.H., please add these to your prayer list.

If you have sent in a prayer request to CHM and have had an answer to prayer, please let us hear from you. This encourages us so, and we love to include these stories in our newsletter.

Selections from my mailbag:

I am requesting prayer for my two–and–a–half year old daughter. Our first experience with ministry was when Christina was born in critical condition, five weeks premature, with water on her brain. Various stages of hemorrhaging in the brain were evident, with extensive brain damage.

The doctors did not believe she would live. At this time we were not Christians, but a friend who was called your ministry and requested prayer for Christina, and for the lord to touch the whole family. Well, the Lord began to touch us. Christina had two unsuccessful surgeries, and the doctors expected her to die. We prayed, were born again, an filled with peace and faith.

We believed that she had been healed, although it was not immediately evident; her physical condition was actually worse. We asked the Lord for some sign of the healing. Her head was healed in seconds, and became small. The doctor was shocked, but his outlook was still pessimistic, siting extensive brain damage — a biopsy during the first surgery showed no good new brain tissue. One year later, a CAT–scan revealed a great deal of new brain tissue. Again, he was amazed. We were so thankful.

I feel that a catalyst for all of the above was the prayer of believing people at your ministry, and God does answer prayer. I feel that God is telling me to pray and fast for her complete recovery. Please join me in praying for Christina. I thank God for your ministry and all the prayers.


Your prayers for my friend are really having results. She has a disease which causes inflammation of the arteries to the brain that leads to permanent blindness. Her sight has really improved! Thank you so much for the prayers.


My son had been killed in an automobile wreck, and I was no longer able to pray of believe in God. After receiving a copy of Sword of the Spirit I prayed the deliverance prayer and my deep depression lifted almost immediately. I feel free now, and can now pray to God on a regular basis. I thank God for those prayers.


We had called in for prayer for a friend who was being operated on to remove cancerous tumors. When our friends was "opened up" not only was there no cancer, but no tumors! We thank you and all the intercessors for their prayers.


My cousin has had a miracle healing of lymphoma. Thank you for your prayers.


I have been an intercessor for four–and–a–half years now. I have been so blessed that I have shared my praise reports along the way as prayers have been answered! I believe so firmly in the power of prayer, and I praise Jesus for allowing me to minister in this way.


I am amazed at the answered prayers.I requested prayers for a broken relationship, it is now mended — Prayers for two situations where the people needed healing, and they are now completely well with no side effects from their illness. I marvel at the wonders of answered prayer. Thank you and all the intercessors that took part in the prayers.


Last June my husband called and asked for prayer for our daughter who was scheduled for spinal surgery to fuse a slipped vertebrae.We asked that you pray for strength and flexibility. I am happy to report that, not only did Melissa's surgery go well, but after the end of one week in the hospital, she got up out of bed and walked without the need of crutches or a walker. I thank God for her continued healing and I thank Him for all your prayers.
