I LOVE this post Pastor Mark!! This is one of the best descriptions I've read on how to pray. You could write a book about this ;) Thank you for the powerful reminder to keep PUSHing! Someone asked here a few days ago how to have a more intimate, personal relationship with Jesus.... pray! Talk to Him all throughout the day. Like you said, it never bugs Him. (love the quote from Wiersbe!) Also, if you keep reading on Luke 18:1-8 talks about praying like the persistent widow who never stopped asking the unjust judge for protection. In this parable, she did drive the judge crazy, so he gave her what she asked for. How much more will a loving and holy Father give what is right to His children? That's how we pray too.... never give up, especially when we do not always get immediate results when we pray. TP family, how can we pray for you today? We want to wrap around you..... nothing is too great or too small for Jesus! ☁️🎺🔜
Praying for you Justin. Heavenly Father I pray that you heal Justin from the sickness that has attacked his body. I speak healing over him in the Name of Jesus ; that no weapon formed against him will prosper. I ask that you restore his health from the top of his head to the bottom of his feet. May he feel your Presence so strongly and Your Peace that surpasses all understanding. Knowing that You love him and have great plans for his life. In Jesus’s Mighty Name I pray . Love you Justin.🙏☺️ Take care
Verna. I do pray for you even if I don’t post it. You are such a blessing to me and even tho we live miles apart , our hearts and lives are entwined together in our Lord Jesus Christ. He is coming soon, so we continue to pray and wait. Love you Sister. You are always in my heart. 🙏🥰💗
Thank you. Seems like these prayers are making mincemeat out of a brutal bug. Almost back to normal really short time. It was so bad for a while it made me start thinking about mortality. My heads never hurt like that in my life.
Jessie— as you know Steve’s as crazy as a nest of squirrel’s 🌰 but years ago my niece gave me the name Kiki and on the mission field in Uganda they gave me the proper nickname Mama Kiki! It stuck 😂😂 So, that’s what’s a Kiki. Our Aussie mate, Ted named me Karris for the Australian tree! I go by many names lol
I agree 100%. Kari with your reply. Continue to pray for me as I’m still going to the Chiropractor for treatments which has improved my bones and muscles in my back and neck and shoulders. Love you Kari . I always glean and grow in the Lord as you share positive comments. Be blessed.♥️
Love you Gladys, my sister! Ok praying right now for continued healing and renewal of your bones, muscles in back & neck & shoulders. Askama is an Ethiopic word that means remove the burdens from your shoulders, so we pray Jesus takes the pain and heals you completely— in Jesus powerful name! 💛💛
Teresa we wrap around you and your daughter in prayer for healing & restoration! Whatever is the story, God writes our stories and renews and re-writes too! Praying that God shows off and does something miraculous this week in your relationship!💛💛
Did y’all just hear the news— Pastor Jack Hayford passed away. What a mighty man of God! I know Jimmy’s friends with him and also was friends with my dad. What a celebration happening in heaven!! He changed the world.💛 https://t.me/beholdisraelchannel/12995
Awwww, I know he was a great Christian Father to soooo many. I’ve seen him often at Gateway Conferences. He was so funny and reminded me of my dad. I pray for his dear family, thanks for sharing the sad news
Starting at the moment our eyes open in the morning may we fully surrender all to the Guidance and Help of God the Holy Spirit Living in us to keep us in the center of His Will and let His Light shine forth without our selves impeding as we walk in Faith one day at a time. So grateful that my husband and best friend and I found a RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS THROUGH THE FRIEND GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT. Religion never taught us how to know God in the Third Person as Friend indwelling and providing Help Discernment and Strength and Comfort and such fullness and closeness. Praise and Glory to PC at Highlands and to The Lamb family and to PJ and PM and all who help church goers KNOW the God most never knew!
CD. My class leader spoke to our ladies today and how the Holy Spirit works in our lives . He lives in us and is our Best Friend. We can cry out to Him with our pain and heartaches and He understands and never condemns us when we have questions. We don’t have to feel guilt , but we knew that the Holy Spirit knows before we even ask Him. His ever Presence is with us every day all the time. Loved your comment. Be blessed in Christ. 🙏♥️ He loves for us to have open hearts to Him.
We so believe in prayer! Never give up. We ask that you would join us in praying for our daughter in law. She claims she is an atheist. She and our son have 3 children. Our son has asked Jesus in his heart when he was a child, but does not teach his children about God or lead his wife to HIM. His is a wonderful father and husband. He just likes to keep the peace.
I’ve finally gotten my 2nd biopsy results back. Not a lung or thymus cancer as they originally thought but Nodular Sclerosing Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Meet with oncology next week. I’d appreciate the prayers. Thank you
Monica, I’m praying for you. I’m calling upon the Great Physician to rid your body of all disease and take away all the fear and worry. You can absolutely rest in Him, He’s got this! Be blessed sister!
Amen Kari, just thinking about the guy who got hurt on the football field recently and the Country erupts in prayer.... Who knew? God works in mysterious ways. 🌺
Howdy mate!!!! Yes amen!!! Me too! This year I decided to kick start my goals to include fun! I love fun—helps me not feel as anxious. Sometimes I feel deeply burdened and heavy spirit learning about end times so I feel encouraged to include more fun in my day, so tomorrow I start horseback riding lessons! My dream is to learn how to barrel race (senior division at 55;) Pray for me to have fun & not fall off the horse! Lol
Kari! Go for it!! I literally did this at a dude ranch in Colorado when I was in college, and worked for 4 summers! It was one of the funnest, and scariest things I have ever done in my life, especially with a partner. When you go around the barrel your partner jumps on the back of the horse and hangs on for dear life! We did it for cash prizes and my partner and I usually won. It helped pay our college tuition!!! Yeehaaa! Have fun!! 🌺
Kari, my mama’s new live in caregiver is 72, (looks 52 at most) and still breaks horses on days off! Go girl and prayers for fun and His arms of safety as you learn✝️🙏❤️❤️❤️
Thank you CD! I just got home and re-fell in LOVE with riding! My instructor told me I was a natural!! Lol it’s been since the late 80’s I’ve rode a horse off a horse trail and inside a corral. It all came back 🐎💨💨
Amen, sounds like fun Kari!! I remember them telling us if you fall off the horse just get back on and keep riding! A little easier said than done at our age, but we can do it!! 🌺
I was sooooo happy today at the ranch! It all came back. Back in the 80’s I went to Kanakuk Kamps and I would spend a week with an assigned horse. I don’t think there were any lessons but— don’t die. I fell off many times in full blown galloping. Today I was slightly more dignified (ha) but my instructor told me I was a natural, and it all came back! I even got to “canter” around some barrels but I definitely felt the need for speed! My horse was named Nip!
Someday Kingdom Jasper and I will race circles around you and Mud😂😂😂😂🐎💨💨
Prayers for my oldest daughter and her 5 children. She has separated from the childrens father (after being together for 13yrs. Unmarried) The father is abusive and the mother is neglectful. It's hard for me to even say this out loud. But the situation is very bad. I'm willing to help with the kids, but they won't let me even see the kids (February 9th it will be 2yrs. I've been banished) There's drugs and alcohol abuse in the home. I'm on disability and don't have the resources to go to court and fight for them. BUT I KNOW MY GOD IS BIGGER THAN ANY TRIAL I HAVE TO FACE. So I'm praying for GOD'S will to be done in this situation. PS: The kids ages are (12,9,7,5,19mo.)
Come and have your way LORD JESUS ❤️ FOR YOUR GLORY, in JESUS NAME,AMAN...
Prayers that God place His Hedge of Protection around you , and your daughter and precious Children. Keep pressing on and praying. God knows your heart ♥️. Don’t let the enemy have a seat at your table. Psalm 23. A book written by Louie Giglio. Be blessed 🙏
Teresa, realizing this is much easier said than done, but this is the time to do what Pastor Mark says here; pray without ceasing (PUSH - Pray Until Something Happens) Be blessed.
Praying with you, Teresa that your daughter hear the soft knock of Jesus and open the door of her heart to Him before the Trumpet sounds and for each of her children to know a saved mother.
Precious Teresa this is hard one, but not for God. He will intervene and pull close to him those precious children. I don’t know and I can’t imagine how he will do it, But I know he WILL DO IT!!
I’ve worked with kids all my life in hard situations and I know he can send someone in while things are being changed and restored!! I pray for a complete and miraculous saving mercy from God, for both parents and in the interim I pray for a hedge of protection and a peace and quiet for those children. I know personally how deep their hurt is, and only God can rebuild trust and restore. God is on the throne and he reigns supreme. Love you dear sister
Glee, thank you so much for the encouragement and the beautiful way you made see things that God can do.. I do know God is in control… when I think about my daughter, I feel God telling me “ trust me, even when you don’t understand”.. so that’s what I have to do. I have no way to contact her.✝️
I am especially praying for those precious children. They are innocent and it always breaks my heart when parents don't take care of children. But I am praying for your daughter also and that God will open a door for you to be able to reach out to them.
Teresa…my heart hurts for you and your family’s situation. Please know you are not alone in dealing with heart wrenching situations with your children. But also know your TP family is standing with you in prayer. I will continue holding you up in prayer
Praying for you, your oldest daughter, and your grandchildren. I pray that I can give you some perspective. I have been your oldest daughter. My mother wasn't loving and of the Lord like you. When I just turned 18yrs old she threw me at her 27yr old male friend.My parents divorced because my mother practices sorcery. He kidnapped me for 3 days on a first "date". I never went home. I was brought up orthodox Jewish. He took me to my father's home to get clothes after 3 days. I wasn't given a chance to ask my father for help. He told my father that I was there to get my clothes. My father told my to take only my clothes. Then he began to pray the prayer for the dead for me. I didn't see him for 15yrs after that. Even then he still believed I chased after the man I found my self pregnant by. When he wanted to force me to have a abortion I asked G_d to make a way for me to save the baby's life. I told him that I wanted to visit my grandmother, and that she always gives me money. He brought me to her home on his way to work when I arrived I told her about the baby and what he wanted. I didn't tell her about what her daughter did to me, forcing me to go with this strange man. My grandmother told me don't worry, you're staying here. You and the baby are safe . When he came to pick me up, she met him at the door and told him that she's not leaving. He called later. I wouldn't speak to him. A week later he came to her home with insurance cards with my name on them and a marriage proposal. He told me that he wanted to make a honest woman out of me. My grandmother told me to marry him for the baby. I did. For 13yrs he made sure to continue to tell me that he didn't love me.I had a son and a daughter . The marriage lasted 13yrs. It was extremely abusive. I was divorced on grounds of cruel and inhumane treatment. I was totally isolated from everyone for 2yrs. My children were and still are estranged from me. I've done all I can to correct that, including daily prayers. It wasn't safe for me to just leave. I asked the Lord to make a way out for me. He did. My ex-husband abandoned my children. I was left with children that didn't like or want too be with me. They wanted the father who abandoned them. They wanted the home they no longer had. My own family who I hadn't seen or spoken to in years due to the isolation wasn't understanding or forgiving. They still see me as hurting them by keeping their grandchildren from them. It's 27yrs later it's hard for me to believe that my mother has contact with my ex husband. I've disconnected from her and all but two of my family members. I continue to contact my children, who barely tolerate any text or talking to me as they tell me I aggravate and irritate them. I was your daughter. She's most likely doing drugs because of the damage this man has done. The most wonderful thing is that Jesus can heal us of all of all the damage. I no longer have flash backs. It's rare that something happens that stirs a disturbing memory, or nightmares. When it does I ask G_d the Father, Jesus the Son, & the Holy Spirit to take it from me. They do. I've also asked them to keep any hurtful feelings and emotions from me. They are doing that too. I'm left with peace and joy that surpasses comprehension. I haven't seen my children in 2yrs. I haven't seen my grandson in 10yrs. I haven't seen my granddaughter in 5yrs. I don't believe I'll ever see any of them again. I'm once again very isolated due to a autoimmune disease. There is freedom living in Christ Jesus. I enjoy that to the fullest. I'm praying that inspire of your daughter's circumstances that you can too. We continue to pray for our children daily I pray 1-3 times a day for them. My own daughter text me today telling me that she's going to be homeless and deal drugs and hook because family won't give her money. The Lord answered my prayers. He sent a under pastor from the local church to help her. She chose a motorcycle clubvintead of the pastor. Now she's in trouble and going to be homeless. She was in a accident. I asked her if she felt ready for the Lord yet? To contact her pastor friend, that I'm sure he'll be there for her. I've gotten no response. I continue to pray. It's what we do. Yours in Christ Jesus
God bless you Ellen, and your children. God is love and He can make a way. For all the moms and dads out there who have struggled, my prayer is for you the Lords peace. What a horrific yet beautiful story. Father is truly the Father of miracles. May God bless all you do in His name.
The Almighty, Sovereign God LOVED and created those babies before the very foundation of the world. He knows their coming and going, their lying down and waking (psalm 139, Ephesians 1:4) … and He saw this coming. He is also (Ephesians 3:20) able to “accomplish INFINITELY more than we might ASK or think”. (Ex: My husband was an angry atheist for years but the Holy Spirit got ahold of him this past July and he is now living for God with abandon. )
I pray Matt. 9:37: the Lord of the Harvest will send workers into their fields. I pray that the veil of the enemy’s deceit will be removed from eyes so the Truth will be clearly seen. I pray a supernatural hedge of protection over those babies physical bodies, but more importantly over their eyes, ears, and understanding so NOTHING evil will be seen, heard or understood. The seeds that have been sown into their spirit will take root and the enemy will NOT be able to snatch them up. These babies belong to the Almighty and the enemy cannot have what King Jesus has already declared as HIS!
I pray for you and your perseverance as your faith is strengthened and your family healed. I praise God for His goodness; that He has heard our prayer and already begun to act according to His perfect will. This I pray in the name that is above ALL names, King Jesus!
Ps: keep us updated. I cannot wait to hear what God has in store.
Wow, Pastor Mark. This is a wonderful article. Thank you so much. Sometimes I feel as though Father is getting tired of hearing me. This article helped me so much. I am so grateful Father put this on your heart to share with us. Praise the Lord!! God bless you for helping us. God is so good. God bless all WE do in His name.
Thank you Steve, so much!! I'm going to check it out. You are a wonderful Disciple of Jesus. May God bless you and yours, and all you do in His name. I need all the help I can get. I craving in all I can, before His return to take us home. Love you Brother Steve
Yesss Steve!! One of the greatest lessons I ever learned from my dad was watching him pray like the little widow lady. He talked about it allll the time (sometimes drive us crazy) but he would pray for something and find a little object to help remind him to pray. He had little trinkets all around his office. Faith is believing in something we can’t see (yet). Anyway… love that we can bug Jesus about anything!💛💛
Mellany, I just read your comment and you win for craziest encounter— a cow moose hit your van!!!!! Whoa! We are praying for you, fast van repairs and your hubby and pup. Love it— 1 day closer!!☁️🎺🔜
Mellany, I know sometimes it feels like things just pile up. God gave us a beautiful blessing in Numbers 6:24-26 and I pray that blessing over you and your family.
I have to say this to y'all. Every last one of you wonderful folks bless my life in ways I always believed impossible. Each and everyone. I cherish each of you. You are the answers to a lot of my prayers. All of you, Pastors included. Behind the scenes folks. And all the subscribers. Because of these answered prayers, i know God loves me. He gave His only begotten for me too, and He gave me all of you. Love in Christ Jesus.
Pastor Mark…thank you for throwing me this lifeline. For quite some time, I feel I’ve been drowning in the sea of life. Please know my love and devotion to our blessed Lord has never wavered but so many trials kept cracking me at every direction. Many days my prayers were mostly tears and very little words. Thank the Lord He knows our hearts:) Your message today has been so beneficial. All I can say is thank you ❣️❣️❣️
Esther we’ve missed you here. Thank you for coming on and sharing your heart, where you’re feeling right now. I’m praying for you and TP too! Have you watched The Chosen? If not, I felt led to encourage you to watch the series (there’s three now) and it will absolutely wrap around you during this difficult season in your life. If you have, I’m also going back re-watching and it’s just uplifting my heart for renewal in how much Jesus loves us. Love you sister💛💛
Haha, Kari! Mike pointed out the “orange” moon tonight, and I thought to myself “not seeing orange.” Now you confirm it! Maybe it’s time for an eye exam :)
Pastor Mark . I absolutely love this post. I’m always learning and growing in our Lord as each of the TP Pastors share the insights the Holy Spirit gives them. Thanks for the uplifting thoughts about prayer and how the Lord taught us to 🙏 pray. During my Bible Study Fellowship class of fourteen years: our prayers were based on Matthew 7:7-8. Ask, Seek, and Knock. I do pray the Lord’s Prayer every morning and nite and feel His Sweet Presence as I go to His Throne Room to acknowledge Him as King of Kings and Lord of Lord’s. He is in control of Heaven’s Kingdom and here on Earth. To God be the Glory! Amen 🙏. Be blessed.
Oh how I PUSH daily, and nightly. I do see little things happening that let me know G_d the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit hear my prayers and the prayers of those who are praying for me. The attacks my enemies are commiting against my body using sorcery and doing things in my life that are costing me money are continuing. I truly feel the Lord sustaining me, physically, mentally, and emotionally. I am treated by a psychiatrist. I told him that I believe it's my daily prayers, and meditations on G_d's word that are holding me together. He agreed and asked me how many times a day I pray and meditate. I told him 1-3. 3 being optimum. It depends on how well I am. I want to share that in PUSHing the Lord has given me a vision of my enemies end. It's horrific. I don't wish it on anyone. They were burning. Their bodies, arms, legs, hands were all fiery and burning. Their eyes were burning on fire. Their mouths were open, and on fire. I could hear their screams. The Lord told me that they can hear me through the cameras in my home. After this vision I warned them. I told them that they've seen and heard enough of the Gospel and the Lord work in my life. That this is their opportunity to come to Christ and not experience the terrible eternity I was just shown that awaits them. Then I described it to them. The Lord told me to say " for what you are doing isn't just against Ellen. You're commiting abominations against me. You continue to arouse my wrath." The Lord also told me they've been given over to reprobate minds and what I said won't have any effect. They may even laugh, as they mock G_d. Remember the Lord's message to me to share in 2023 "no matter what you see or hear, fear not. Be if good courage for I am with you." Yours in Christ Jesus.
I LOVE this post Pastor Mark!! This is one of the best descriptions I've read on how to pray. You could write a book about this ;) Thank you for the powerful reminder to keep PUSHing!

Thank you Blondie, definitely on the mend finally. Really brutal bug but I think all the prayer is knocking it out.
Prayers continue!
Thank you. Seems like these prayers are making mincemeat out of a brutal bug. Almost back to normal really short time. It was so bad for a while it made me start thinking about mortality. My heads never hurt like that in my life.
Praying for you Justin
Thank you so much 😊
Thank you Maggie, greatly appreciated. It’s been a terrible bug.
Thanks Maggie, that’s for sure. Makes for some storms in life, that’s for sure.
Thanks so much, sounds like a real big killer and I really need one here. Starting to feel a bit better
Amen!!!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Oh, um Jessie, I'm sick too. Haha, soup sounds yummy.
That one made me laugh.
Hon, I was joking, just trying to mooch soup. Haha. I love your sweet self.
Thanks biddy
Biddy & mama Kiki would be fast friends😂😂
Oops buddy.
Jessie— as you know Steve’s as crazy as a nest of squirrel’s 🌰 but years ago my niece gave me the name Kiki and on the mission field in Uganda they gave me the proper nickname Mama Kiki! It stuck 😂😂 So, that’s what’s a Kiki. Our Aussie mate, Ted named me Karris for the Australian tree! I go by many names lol
Love ya sister! 💛
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m literally dying laughing!!!!🤣🤣🤣 Poor Jessie doesn’t know what hit her!
I’m literally laughing outloud in bed—my hubbys like what’s so funny!😂😂😂 I sure love y’all 🥰💛
I agree 100%. Kari with your reply. Continue to pray for me as I’m still going to the Chiropractor for treatments which has improved my bones and muscles in my back and neck and shoulders. Love you Kari . I always glean and grow in the Lord as you share positive comments. Be blessed.♥️
Praying for you Gladys!
Thanks V. Love you . Stay well and God’s favor for you and bless your going out and coming in. ☺️
Love you sweet V🥰💛
Keeping you covered in prayer Gladys
I’m praying for you dear one 🥰
Love you Gladys, my sister! Ok praying right now for continued healing and renewal of your bones, muscles in back & neck & shoulders. Askama is an Ethiopic word that means remove the burdens from your shoulders, so we pray Jesus takes the pain and heals you completely— in Jesus powerful name! 💛💛
Please pray for my daughter.. I have no relationship with her..🙏
Teresa…I understand. I’m praying for you and your situation!!!
Praying for a restored relationship with your daughter.
Teresa we wrap around you and your daughter in prayer for healing & restoration! Whatever is the story, God writes our stories and renews and re-writes too! Praying that God shows off and does something miraculous this week in your relationship!💛💛
Thank you Kari.. I pray ever day.. thank you for always being there . The love an support you give is a blessing from God. God Bless you❤️🙏
Teresa, does your daughter know Jesus?
As a child she did .. I think she has fallen away .
Did y’all just hear the news— Pastor Jack Hayford passed away. What a mighty man of God! I know Jimmy’s friends with him and also was friends with my dad. What a celebration happening in heaven!! He changed the world.💛 https://t.me/beholdisraelchannel/12995
Awwww, I know he was a great Christian Father to soooo many. I’ve seen him often at Gateway Conferences. He was so funny and reminded me of my dad. I pray for his dear family, thanks for sharing the sad news
Angels are rejoicing in heaven!🙏✝️
Saw that on the news.
Starting at the moment our eyes open in the morning may we fully surrender all to the Guidance and Help of God the Holy Spirit Living in us to keep us in the center of His Will and let His Light shine forth without our selves impeding as we walk in Faith one day at a time.

Religion never taught us how to know God in the Third Person as Friend indwelling and providing Help Discernment and Strength and Comfort and such fullness and closeness.

So blessed by these teachers of His Love AND TRUTH. Thank you for your always insightful and wonderful words of faith✝️🙏❤️❤️
We so believe in prayer! Never give up. We ask that you would join us in praying for our daughter in law. She claims she is an atheist. She and our son have 3 children. Our son has asked Jesus in his heart when he was a child, but does not teach his children about God or lead his wife to HIM. His is a wonderful father and husband. He just likes to keep the peace.
Thanks so much. Prayer is powerful and effective!!!
Amen precious Kari!✝️🙏❤️
Hi CD 👋🏼 How have you been? Blessings indeed💛💛
Sweet Kari, you are such a joy!! Love you hon,🙏🧡🌻
You are an overflow of precious blessings Verna— like a fountain ⛲️ over your TP family!💛💛
I’ve finally gotten my 2nd biopsy results back. Not a lung or thymus cancer as they originally thought but Nodular Sclerosing Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Meet with oncology next week. I’d appreciate the prayers. Thank you
Monica, hon. I will be praying til Father heals you. God bless you hon.
Monica, I’m praying for you. I’m calling upon the Great Physician to rid your body of all disease and take away all the fear and worry. You can absolutely rest in Him, He’s got this! Be blessed sister!
Prayers for full healing for you.. in the name of Jesus🙏❤️✝️
Praying healing and restoration now for you Monica.
Amen Kari, just thinking about the guy who got hurt on the football field recently and the Country erupts in prayer.... Who knew? God works in mysterious ways. 🌺
Amen Sister Kris, Amen!!
Can I say...... DITTO-DITTO! Amen sister
Amen and Amen!
minister S. D. Gordon once wrote,
“You can do more than pray after you’ve prayed, but you can’t do more than pray until you’ve prayed.”
Love this! 😇
That's pretty awesome Jennifer, thank you for sharing. God bless you!
👍😊
100% agree on that on Kari. I have to not allow myself to get anxious for the future but pray and continue to thank God for His provision 🙏
Howdy mate!!!! Yes amen!!! Me too! This year I decided to kick start my goals to include fun! I love fun—helps me not feel as anxious. Sometimes I feel deeply burdened and heavy spirit learning about end times so I feel encouraged to include more fun in my day, so tomorrow I start horseback riding lessons! My dream is to learn how to barrel race (senior division at 55;) Pray for me to have fun & not fall off the horse! Lol
Kari! Go for it!! I literally did this at a dude ranch in Colorado when I was in college, and worked for 4 summers! It was one of the funnest, and scariest things I have ever done in my life, especially with a partner. When you go around the barrel your partner jumps on the back of the horse and hangs on for dear life! We did it for cash prizes and my partner and I usually won. It helped pay our college tuition!!! Yeehaaa! Have fun!! 🌺
WOW!! You are so cool Kris🤠
Kari, my mama’s new live in caregiver is 72, (looks 52 at most) and still breaks horses on days off! Go girl and prayers for fun and His arms of safety as you learn✝️🙏❤️❤️❤️
Thank you CD! I just got home and re-fell in LOVE with riding! My instructor told me I was a natural!! Lol it’s been since the late 80’s I’ve rode a horse off a horse trail and inside a corral. It all came back 🐎💨💨
Oooo I need that! I’m 55 and not in the best shape, but had the time of my life today! I will be sore lol I need to borrow your machine! 🐎💨💨
Amen, sounds like fun Kari!! I remember them telling us if you fall off the horse just get back on and keep riding! A little easier said than done at our age, but we can do it!! 🌺
Awesome!!!!!🤠🙌🏽
I was sooooo happy today at the ranch! It all came back. Back in the 80’s I went to Kanakuk Kamps and I would spend a week with an assigned horse. I don’t think there were any lessons but— don’t die. I fell off many times in full blown galloping. Today I was slightly more dignified (ha) but my instructor told me I was a natural, and it all came back! I even got to “canter” around some barrels but I definitely felt the need for speed! My horse was named Nip!
Someday Kingdom Jasper and I will race circles around you and Mud😂😂😂😂🐎💨💨
Hahaha!!! 🐎🔜
Prayers for my oldest daughter and her 5 children. She has separated from the childrens father (after being together for 13yrs. Unmarried) The father is abusive and the mother is neglectful. It's hard for me to even say this out loud. But the situation is very bad. I'm willing to help with the kids, but they won't let me even see the kids (February 9th it will be 2yrs. I've been banished) There's drugs and alcohol abuse in the home. I'm on disability and don't have the resources to go to court and fight for them. BUT I KNOW MY GOD IS BIGGER THAN ANY TRIAL I HAVE TO FACE. So I'm praying for GOD'S will to be done in this situation. PS: The kids ages are (12,9,7,5,19mo.)
Come and have your way LORD JESUS ❤️ FOR YOUR GLORY, in JESUS NAME,AMAN...
THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS 💝
Prayers that God place His Hedge of Protection around you , and your daughter and precious Children. Keep pressing on and praying. God knows your heart ♥️. Don’t let the enemy have a seat at your table. Psalm 23. A book written by Louie Giglio. Be blessed 🙏
Thank you 💞 Words cannot express all the Love I have felt from ALL of this TP family. Tears of joy 🥲 as I write this. Love you guys so much.
Thank you .. I’ll keep praying❤️🙏
Teresa, realizing this is much easier said than done, but this is the time to do what Pastor Mark says here; pray without ceasing (PUSH - Pray Until Something Happens) Be blessed.
This is definitely the plan 😌 and has been from the start. PUSH-ing
Praying with you, Teresa that your daughter hear the soft knock of Jesus and open the door of her heart to Him before the Trumpet sounds and for each of her children to know a saved mother.
Precious Teresa this is hard one, but not for God. He will intervene and pull close to him those precious children. I don’t know and I can’t imagine how he will do it, But I know he WILL DO IT!!
I’ve worked with kids all my life in hard situations and I know he can send someone in while things are being changed and restored!! I pray for a complete and miraculous saving mercy from God, for both parents and in the interim I pray for a hedge of protection and a peace and quiet for those children. I know personally how deep their hurt is, and only God can rebuild trust and restore. God is on the throne and he reigns supreme. Love you dear sister
Glee, thank you so much for the encouragement and the beautiful way you made see things that God can do.. I do know God is in control… when I think about my daughter, I feel God telling me “ trust me, even when you don’t understand”.. so that’s what I have to do. I have no way to contact her.✝️
Amen, Glee!!
Praying for God to make a way for you and your daughter and grandchildren. With God all things are possible.
Praying for you and your family! God Bless✝️
Praying for you and your family 💓 as well
Prayed Sister. God bless your family!
So thankful for you and the TP family 💓😊
I am especially praying for those precious children. They are innocent and it always breaks my heart when parents don't take care of children. But I am praying for your daughter also and that God will open a door for you to be able to reach out to them.
Amen, and Praise the Lord
Love you Teresa and praying for miracle sized mountains to be moved!!!! 💛💛
Love you and again thank you for the prayers and support🙏✝️❤️
Teresa…my heart hurts for you and your family’s situation. Please know you are not alone in dealing with heart wrenching situations with your children. But also know your TP family is standing with you in prayer. I will continue holding you up in prayer
Amen!!
Thank you Ester.. that was very sweet what you wrote to me.. God’s blessings to you!❤️✝️
🙏
Praying for you, your oldest daughter, and your grandchildren. I pray that I can give you some perspective. I have been your oldest daughter. My mother wasn't loving and of the Lord like you. When I just turned 18yrs old she threw me at her 27yr old male friend.My parents divorced because my mother practices sorcery. He kidnapped me for 3 days on a first "date". I never went home. I was brought up orthodox Jewish. He took me to my father's home to get clothes after 3 days. I wasn't given a chance to ask my father for help. He told my father that I was there to get my clothes. My father told my to take only my clothes. Then he began to pray the prayer for the dead for me. I didn't see him for 15yrs after that. Even then he still believed I chased after the man I found my self pregnant by. When he wanted to force me to have a abortion I asked G_d to make a way for me to save the baby's life. I told him that I wanted to visit my grandmother, and that she always gives me money. He brought me to her home on his way to work when I arrived I told her about the baby and what he wanted. I didn't tell her about what her daughter did to me, forcing me to go with this strange man. My grandmother told me don't worry, you're staying here. You and the baby are safe . When he came to pick me up, she met him at the door and told him that she's not leaving. He called later. I wouldn't speak to him. A week later he came to her home with insurance cards with my name on them and a marriage proposal. He told me that he wanted to make a honest woman out of me. My grandmother told me to marry him for the baby. I did. For 13yrs he made sure to continue to tell me that he didn't love me.I had a son and a daughter . The marriage lasted 13yrs. It was extremely abusive. I was divorced on grounds of cruel and inhumane treatment. I was totally isolated from everyone for 2yrs. My children were and still are estranged from me. I've done all I can to correct that, including daily prayers. It wasn't safe for me to just leave. I asked the Lord to make a way out for me. He did. My ex-husband abandoned my children. I was left with children that didn't like or want too be with me. They wanted the father who abandoned them. They wanted the home they no longer had. My own family who I hadn't seen or spoken to in years due to the isolation wasn't understanding or forgiving. They still see me as hurting them by keeping their grandchildren from them. It's 27yrs later it's hard for me to believe that my mother has contact with my ex husband. I've disconnected from her and all but two of my family members. I continue to contact my children, who barely tolerate any text or talking to me as they tell me I aggravate and irritate them. I was your daughter. She's most likely doing drugs because of the damage this man has done. The most wonderful thing is that Jesus can heal us of all of all the damage. I no longer have flash backs. It's rare that something happens that stirs a disturbing memory, or nightmares. When it does I ask G_d the Father, Jesus the Son, & the Holy Spirit to take it from me. They do. I've also asked them to keep any hurtful feelings and emotions from me. They are doing that too. I'm left with peace and joy that surpasses comprehension. I haven't seen my children in 2yrs. I haven't seen my grandson in 10yrs. I haven't seen my granddaughter in 5yrs. I don't believe I'll ever see any of them again. I'm once again very isolated due to a autoimmune disease. There is freedom living in Christ Jesus. I enjoy that to the fullest. I'm praying that inspire of your daughter's circumstances that you can too. We continue to pray for our children daily I pray 1-3 times a day for them. My own daughter text me today telling me that she's going to be homeless and deal drugs and hook because family won't give her money. The Lord answered my prayers. He sent a under pastor from the local church to help her. She chose a motorcycle clubvintead of the pastor. Now she's in trouble and going to be homeless. She was in a accident. I asked her if she felt ready for the Lord yet? To contact her pastor friend, that I'm sure he'll be there for her. I've gotten no response. I continue to pray. It's what we do. Yours in Christ Jesus
God bless you Ellen, and your children. God is love and He can make a way. For all the moms and dads out there who have struggled, my prayer is for you the Lords peace. What a horrific yet beautiful story. Father is truly the Father of miracles. May God bless all you do in His name.
The Almighty, Sovereign God LOVED and created those babies before the very foundation of the world. He knows their coming and going, their lying down and waking (psalm 139, Ephesians 1:4) … and He saw this coming. He is also (Ephesians 3:20) able to “accomplish INFINITELY more than we might ASK or think”. (Ex: My husband was an angry atheist for years but the Holy Spirit got ahold of him this past July and he is now living for God with abandon. )
I pray Matt. 9:37: the Lord of the Harvest will send workers into their fields. I pray that the veil of the enemy’s deceit will be removed from eyes so the Truth will be clearly seen. I pray a supernatural hedge of protection over those babies physical bodies, but more importantly over their eyes, ears, and understanding so NOTHING evil will be seen, heard or understood. The seeds that have been sown into their spirit will take root and the enemy will NOT be able to snatch them up. These babies belong to the Almighty and the enemy cannot have what King Jesus has already declared as HIS!
I pray for you and your perseverance as your faith is strengthened and your family healed. I praise God for His goodness; that He has heard our prayer and already begun to act according to His perfect will. This I pray in the name that is above ALL names, King Jesus!
Ps: keep us updated. I cannot wait to hear what God has in store.
Thank you Darla for the most beautiful prayer...your words lifted me up! God Bless you!
In Jesus Holy name, Amen.
Believing with you for these children Teresa
Love this❣️
I needed to hear this today & am so thankful that you are so faithful & close to God & bless so many.
God bless you all.
I especially loved this today too Sheila, it really spoke to me. 🦋
Good onya Sheila - you’re a blessing to us all 😊
Wow, Pastor Mark. This is a wonderful article. Thank you so much. Sometimes I feel as though Father is getting tired of hearing me. This article helped me so much. I am so grateful Father put this on your heart to share with us. Praise the Lord!! God bless you for helping us. God is so good. God bless all WE do in His name.
Come quickly Lord.
Thank you Steve, so much!! I'm going to check it out. You are a wonderful Disciple of Jesus. May God bless you and yours, and all you do in His name. I need all the help I can get. I craving in all I can, before His return to take us home. Love you Brother Steve
It was supposed to say cramming in all I can. Silly autocorrect. Lol
Yesss Steve!! One of the greatest lessons I ever learned from my dad was watching him pray like the little widow lady. He talked about it allll the time (sometimes drive us crazy) but he would pray for something and find a little object to help remind him to pray. He had little trinkets all around his office. Faith is believing in something we can’t see (yet). Anyway… love that we can bug Jesus about anything!💛💛
Amen, Sweetie!!
Oh my, I need to pray more. I didn't realize the little stuff mattered. Thank you Steve!!
That's one of my favorite scriptures. I even have it memorized. Thank you for helping me understand it better. Love you right back, Mr. Steve!! 🙏💙🌻
Amen!

Mellany, I just read your comment and you win for craziest encounter— a cow moose hit your van!!!!! Whoa! We are praying for you, fast van repairs and your hubby and pup. Love it— 1 day closer!!☁️🎺🔜
Mellany, I know sometimes it feels like things just pile up. God gave us a beautiful blessing in Numbers 6:24-26 and I pray that blessing over you and your family.
Prayers Mellany for you and your family. God bless you hon!!
Prayer. The umbilical cord of our Christian existence. Thank you pastor Mark.
I don't comment much, but I read all the comments and pray for the family.
I have to say this to y'all. Every last one of you wonderful folks bless my life in ways I always believed impossible. Each and everyone. I cherish each of you. You are the answers to a lot of my prayers. All of you, Pastors included. Behind the scenes folks. And all the subscribers. Because of these answered prayers, i know God loves me. He gave His only begotten for me too, and He gave me all of you. Love in Christ Jesus.
Come quickly Lord. Praise God!!
Pastor Mark…thank you for throwing me this lifeline. For quite some time, I feel I’ve been drowning in the sea of life. Please know my love and devotion to our blessed Lord has never wavered but so many trials kept cracking me at every direction. Many days my prayers were mostly tears and very little words. Thank the Lord He knows our hearts:) Your message today has been so beneficial. All I can say is thank you ❣️❣️❣️
Esther we’ve missed you here. Thank you for coming on and sharing your heart, where you’re feeling right now. I’m praying for you and TP too! Have you watched The Chosen? If not, I felt led to encourage you to watch the series (there’s three now) and it will absolutely wrap around you during this difficult season in your life. If you have, I’m also going back re-watching and it’s just uplifting my heart for renewal in how much Jesus loves us. Love you sister💛💛
♥️♥️♥️
Excellent coverage and focus on prayer. It is such a good idea to give solid doctrinal review on some of these key elements.
Thank you, Pastor Mark. This TP community is one of God’s richest blessings.✝️🙏❤️
And as my 97 year old precious mama always reminds us, ALWAYS end every prayer request with NOT MY WILL BUT YOURS BE DONE in Jesus’ name, I pray.
Thank you all for sharing this walk and journey of Faith as we LOOK UP!
What a blessing your mama is to us now too! 97 👑 !!! Looking up tonight in the Texas skies, did anyone else have the spectacular orange full moon?!!!
Haha, Kari! Mike pointed out the “orange” moon tonight, and I thought to myself “not seeing orange.” Now you confirm it! Maybe it’s time for an eye exam :)
Haha it was definitely big blood orange!!! 😉
Excellent post. And perfect timing for me personally. Thank you, and many blessings to you.
Pastor Mark . I absolutely love this post. I’m always learning and growing in our Lord as each of the TP Pastors share the insights the Holy Spirit gives them. Thanks for the uplifting thoughts about prayer and how the Lord taught us to 🙏 pray. During my Bible Study Fellowship class of fourteen years: our prayers were based on Matthew 7:7-8. Ask, Seek, and Knock. I do pray the Lord’s Prayer every morning and nite and feel His Sweet Presence as I go to His Throne Room to acknowledge Him as King of Kings and Lord of Lord’s. He is in control of Heaven’s Kingdom and here on Earth. To God be the Glory! Amen 🙏. Be blessed.
I remember well A.S.K. in BSF, Gladys! Have missed you. Hope you are well and that you had a meaningful Christmas! Love to you 🌷
Awesome!
Oh how I PUSH daily, and nightly. I do see little things happening that let me know G_d the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit hear my prayers and the prayers of those who are praying for me. The attacks my enemies are commiting against my body using sorcery and doing things in my life that are costing me money are continuing. I truly feel the Lord sustaining me, physically, mentally, and emotionally. I am treated by a psychiatrist. I told him that I believe it's my daily prayers, and meditations on G_d's word that are holding me together. He agreed and asked me how many times a day I pray and meditate. I told him 1-3. 3 being optimum. It depends on how well I am. I want to share that in PUSHing the Lord has given me a vision of my enemies end. It's horrific. I don't wish it on anyone. They were burning. Their bodies, arms, legs, hands were all fiery and burning. Their eyes were burning on fire. Their mouths were open, and on fire. I could hear their screams. The Lord told me that they can hear me through the cameras in my home. After this vision I warned them. I told them that they've seen and heard enough of the Gospel and the Lord work in my life. That this is their opportunity to come to Christ and not experience the terrible eternity I was just shown that awaits them. Then I described it to them. The Lord told me to say " for what you are doing isn't just against Ellen. You're commiting abominations against me. You continue to arouse my wrath." The Lord also told me they've been given over to reprobate minds and what I said won't have any effect. They may even laugh, as they mock G_d. Remember the Lord's message to me to share in 2023 "no matter what you see or hear, fear not. Be if good courage for I am with you." Yours in Christ Jesus.
