I Prayed have prayed
Father God, thank You for hearing and answering our prayers for Ukraine, for the people sharing Your love and truth there! We praise You!
Reading Time: 2 minutes

We are so pleased to bring you this encouraging update from Ukraine. Recently IFA posted an article and a video about a missionary we called Yelena and her team. She reported the miraculous things God is doing in Ukraine in the midst of tragedy. She spoke of unity, favor, miracles, healing, and mass salvations happening in Ukraine right now. 

She even gave us specific prayer points. 

I reached out to Yelena a few days ago to encourage her and the team and let them know that IFA intercessors were thankful to hear what God is doing. I shared that we are praying for the nation and her team. I didn’t expect to hear back from her as they are very busy and our time zones are many hours apart. A few days later, Yelena responded. This is what she had to say.

Honestly, I don’t even have the words to describe gratitude or even what I felt when I read your message. I can just truly say this, We feel so covered by these prayers. They are tangibly felt here. I have never felt so covered in my life (and the other team members agree) and it is because of the prayers you all are praying.”

Isn’t that beautiful? She and the team are feeling the presence and protection of God in a war torn nation right now, because of your prayers. You are making a difference and truly meeting a felt need–the need for the missionaries to sense covering as they risk their lives to share the gospel and the power of God.

Have you ever been in desperate need of prayer? I know I have, several times actually. Have you ever reached out to someone to pray for you and felt the prayers? When I say felt I mean it’s almost as if you can feel the peace, and presence of God. I call those tangible prayers. It’s very beautiful. You know that you have been prayed for. 

Brother Andrew once said this, Our prayers can go where we cannot…there are no borders, no prison walls, no doors that are closed to us when we pray.”

I share this to encourage you. If you ever wonder if your prayers matter…they do! This is just one team who has felt the effects of your praying. If you have prayed long for your family, state, nation, or leaders in this nation, the power of those prayers will be felt. The answer will come in God’s time, in His way.

Intercessors, thank you for faithfulness to pray. Prayer is so simple, but so powerful! What we do is often a hidden work. We pray in secret under the radar, but our prayers benefit those who are on the front lines. Their victory is our victory and together we are victorious in Christ.

But thanks be to God, Who gives us the victory [making us conquerors] through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be firm (steadfast), immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord [always being superior, excelling, doing more than enough in the service of the Lord], knowing and being continually aware that your labor in the Lord is not futile [it is never wasted or to no purpose]. (1 Cor. 15:57,58 AMPC)

Do you have a prayer need? Share below in the comments. Let’s pray and encourage one another. Let’s be like Aaron and Hur who lifted Moses arms when he was weary from the battle. 

 

Because he bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath! (Ps. 116:2 NLT)

I never thought that my prayers along others, that our prayers are even heard. I have been praying for Afghanistan, but never heard of anything there. They are mostly Muslins, so must it because no one knows what is covering them. Thank you that others are helped by our prayers. Thank you for the envouraging.

Thank you precious Shepherd for calling, with love and adoration, your sheep to yourself. Use these precious ones even now to spread the gospel like wildfire across Ukraine and to the ends of the earth.
Lord will you breathe in each of us a great fervor for your Word, for prayer, revival, for your Kingdom to Come.

Lord I give You thanks for hearing and answering our prayers regarding Your children in the Ukraine and for reaching those who do not know You as their Savior. It is in times like these that Your Grace is manifested in manifold ways reaching those who would not be reached otherwise. Thank You Father for loving Your people all around our world. Amen!

Thank you Jesus!
Asking for prayer to break the generational curse of addiction to alcohol off of my family, and to bestow my family with the Abraham, Isaac & Jacob blessing of generations walking humbly with the Lord.

    Praying for your family. There is nothing too hard for God. Lord we pray for those who battle addiction would come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. I pray the gospel message would become as real to them as you are. I pray that everything the enemy meant for evil against Maynard and his family be turned for good and be a living testimony of the power and saving grace of Jesus Christ.
    Amen

Praise the Lord for what He is doing in the midst of the situation, Romans 8:28 is still true! Thank you Lord for the faithful Christian workers! FEBC Ukraine also reports many people are accepting Jesus as they continue to broadcast the Gospel on radio and social media. febcukraine.org

Wow I love this update. Nothing is more encouraging then witnessing people giving their lives to our Lord and Savior. God we love you and we pray that you continue to protect your people in Ukraine and Lord we also humbly come to in prayer that God you can Pierce the heart of Putin and Russia that Lord you can restore peace and also defeat the evil schemes plaguing Russia and Ukraine. Heavenly father we pray the leaders of our allies and country to have the courage to face the wicked that’s been done not only with the current events going on in Ukraine but also with events surrounding the pandemic and also the Globalist Big Government control scheme of the devil that God you can destroy that and that God you bring Trump back into the Whitehouse and bring us Justice for 2020 as there is more then enough evidence to show proof of Election fraud. Lord we thank you for the documentary Dinesh D’sozo was able to compile showing proof that there was indeed “mules” who was caught on camera relating to mail in ballots. Father God we pray that you will wash the sins and restore our hearts especially the hearts of our world leaders that God they turn from the wicked evil schemes of the devil. Lord I pray all these things in Jesus’ name Amen

    Gloria’s request for us to be like Aaron and Hur reminds me of a verse out of Billy Sprague’s song
    “Press on” :
    “on the oceans of lonesome I was not left alone
    had some heavyweight friends when my heart was of stone
    and they picked up my heartache and made it their own
    and it gave me the strength to press on”
    My prayer is that a fresh breath of healing will completely restore your health and strengthen YOU to
    Press On…

Lord, we thank You that our prayers arise and are like incense to You. We cry out to You for our brothers and sisters working in Ukraine, aiding people fleeing war zones. Continue to supernaturally protect them. Let the bombs, missiles, shots fired and other war munitions be blocked by Your supernatural dome of protection. Lord, save souls through the work of Your people in Ukraine. Glory to Your name, O Lord. Amen.
