My son needs prayer

[sass]

Hi again, I just spoke to my son and he isn't doing good at all. Please continue to pray for him as he needs it. There are strong holds in his life that he needs to get rid of and he is seeking God's help for them. He wants God to make him healthy again and is asking for people to pray.

Thank you so much for your prayers.

I'm still praying with you sass.
If he has inner turmoil then I will focus on psalm 51 for him.

Psalm 51:6 Surely you desire truth in the inner parts; you teach me wisdom in the inmost place.
Psalm 51:8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

Jesus desires us to have his joy.
John 17:13 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

I Also pray that he receive the joy of the Lord because childlike laughter and joy are gifts to the world from God.

Psalm 90:14 O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
Romans 15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.


Mark 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

John 15:11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

John 16:24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

Isaiah 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

Thank you Father for raising up this son and filling him with your joy,strength,light,life and abundant life.I ask this in the name and authority of Jesus believing I have received my petition so that his joy and ours may be full and that your name would be glorified in the earth.

I would love to share with you what I see as I pray for you and your son.

I am thinking of the woman who made a little room for the prophet Elijah.
When her son was struck down one day,she journeyed to see the prophet and Elijah.

1 Kings 17:18 She said to Elijah, "What do you have against me, man of God? Did you come to remind me of my sin and kill my son?"
1 Kings 17:19 "Give me your son," Elijah replied. He took him from her arms, carried him to the upper room where he was staying, and laid him on his bed.
1 Kings 17:20 And he cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, hast thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son?
1 Kings 17:21 And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, I pray thee, let this child's soul come into him again.
1 Kings 17:22 The LORD heard Elijah's prayer, and the life of the child returned, and he revived!

In the new testament man learned that God is Love.
Before that we kind of blamed God for evil and we complained to him about it like Elijah.
Now Elijah knew that it wasn't God who struck down the child so he is really acknowledging God's sovereignty over everything.

Psalm 51:8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

Now God did not break our bones but we acknowledge that he is in control and will make all things work together for good.
The new version of this story is that we(You,me,him and everyone else who is praying) give your son to the Lord and lay him at the foot of the cross and we remind God of his son's prayer that your son would have life and life more abundantly.

Ephesians 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

Then we stretch the finished work of Jesus(by his stripes we were healed and raised up already) over him.

We are actually trying to get our minds and hearts in line with the work already done by him and the power he has given to us because we believe that he did what he said he would do and that is give us life abundantly.

If we focus to much on healing we are kind of "working the problem".
That's fine but lets leave no stone unturned and also focus on "working a solution" into his entire life and we know the solution is Jesus.
