I have a friend, named Kary, who sent this earnest prayer of healing, on Irene’s behalf, to us via email today.  The amazing fact is that Irene and Kary do not even know each other…the prayer is simply stunning…and we’re grateful for Kary’s intercessory prayer and for so many others who do daily battle on Irene’s behalf…

Dear Lord,
I lift up Irene to You in the precious, precious name of Jesus Christ Our King, Our Lord and Our Savior. Lord, You are the maker of all things, and You are Jehovah-Raffa, the Lord Our Healer.  You love Irene so much, so very much, so much more than we could ever imagine now will even fully know in Heaven. You love Irene with all Your heart, Your soul and Your mind. You are excited about her and are so thrilled that she has accepted You in her heart and thus You and she will always be together, for all of eternity, never separated weather on this earth or in Heaven.  You are passionate about Irene and love her so much. Thank you Father that You created her, You desired to have her exist and for her to exist for eternity. You absolutely love her. You love her to such an extent that what she feels You feel, all the suffering, all the pain, all the difficulties. Lord, You are her provider and You will never leave her or abandon her. Lord, we praise You for Irene, her life, her impact on this world. We thank You!  Thank You so much for creating her, she is perfect in Your eyes though Jesus’ redemptive power. Lord, we ask that You would heal her completely from this amyloidosis and ESRD. We bind them in Jesus’ precious and all powerful name and ask You to break its power and send Your healing power from Heaven, touching her with the power, the fire, the heat from Your hands that brings total healing. Please Lord, let the doctors see, let them see and know that You are God. Let them marvel, let them give You as an only explanation. Let them be confounded apart from You and know that You are real and that You are the God that heals. Lord, as Christians, we do have certain privileges and luxuries that You give out of Your mercy and Your grace and I truly believe healing is one of them. Let all those who know the Dias family be amazed, those who are Christians be excited and encouraged and those who are not be stunned and come to know that You are the Lord.  Lord, You are in control of the entire universe, and You have Irene in Your hands, please give us the healing in Your precious son, Jesus’ name. As Moses lifted up the snake in the desert and all who looked upon it were healed, Lord let us look upon Jesus’ death on the cross for us, knowing that by His stripes we are healed. Let Irene focus on that, let her see that in Jesus’ name! We want, as we believe You want, the maximum out of Jesus’ painful death on the cross. We believe salvation is only the beginning and that healing is in His wings!  Let Irene have a vision of Jesus, and the power that was His death on the cross – how much more than the snake of Moses! How much more the real thing than the foreshadowing! We look to the Cross and the price that was paid. We want the full benefits paid for by Our Lord and we believe Your word. Lord You have healed us spiritually how much less healing physically is by comparison. Lord, Irene has already given You her heart and had the greater healing, now we pray, please provide Your physical healing, even now! Even now, Lord! Show us Your power not to prove to us but because of Your grace and mercy. Lord, give us more of You, more of Jesus in our lives, and heal Irene. May she live a full and complete life, reaching as many people for Christ as possible. Please Lord, the world needs You! And You in Your goodness have decided to by and large share Your kingdom with the lost though Your people. Lord, Irene, is one of Your people and You are her God, allow her fullness of life to share You with as many as possible that the world may know You! Lord, please give her full time, please give her healing, please give to the lost by giving time to Irene here. Lord, she will be in Heaven forever and ever so we ask that You would give her more time here on earth, more time to reach all those she can. Lord in Heaven she will not be able to witness to anyone else. Lord, please, You love the lost! You love them and are yearning, just yearning for them to accept You and You want to reach them mainly though us. Please! Please give us more time with Irene to reach more people. Lord, She loves You and she wants to be with You but she is needed here on this earth for longer time. Lord, this sickness we believe should not be unto death but please make it unto life, that the world may know! Like Your awesome acts of old, show the world through Irene that You are the God who heals. That You desire to heal everyone of the lost from their terminal disease called sin which is terminal into eternity. Lord, show the world through Irene what You want to do with them in the spiritual side. Lord, may her healing be symbolic of what You want to do for the lost! May the lost see this healing in Irene and hear her message about this healing happening in their spiritual life. Lord, we ask that You would show the world yet again that You have power to forgive sins!  Lord, please bring her complete healing, even now, Lord, even now. Show even just a modicum of Your love for her in this (and show the world). Lord, Irene and her family are depending on you. They do not look at their circumstances to determine their attitude or view, but rather to You. Show them, O Lord, that You are faithful. That You heal today, yesterday and forever. Please just say the word, and she will be healed, say the word. Like the centurion who told you just to say the word as You are in authority, we ask You even now to just say the word. Send forth Your healing, just as You did when You walked the earth before the cross. How much more do You heal after the cross! We look upon it, we look upon Your death there.  Lord, for Jesus’ sake, please heal Irene, please bring healing, even now, O Lord. Touch her, let her feel the heat we so often hear about from those who have been healed. Turn the hearts of her friends and family to pray for her, and hear our prayer O Lord, I know You hear it, so please we ask that You would act.  We trust You Lord and we honor and praise You, the one who is worthy of all praise. Please bring the healing this very hour by the precious blood of Jesus Christ. Give us a vision of her healing and help us to see it. Let her know that You will heal her, encourage her, even now we do pray. Lord, fill her spirit with Your spirit. Please let the spirit of boldness of faith come over her, let her be filled with Your healing power, Lord, let others see and be amazed. Show the world what You do with those whose Lord is You. Give the doubters, reason to doubt their doubts. Let them be confounded, but let it be for a purpose, that they might come to the Lord. O Lord, please bring the lost through Irene. Please show the world Your love in a real and manifest way. Let them know that You are truly the Lord. We pray for all these things believing Lord in You and Your goodness in faith. You are holy and You are the Lord. You are worthy of all praise! You O God our are shield and our sword. Destroy this weekness, send forth your healing this very hour. We bind this sickness in Jesus’ name, Jesus, precious, precious name, the name above all names! Lord You are the Lord Our God! We love you! We love You and we cherish You. WE praise Your holy name!  May the world know You are real, and may we spread the word and make disciples in Your name. Lord, please bless Irene with healing that she might live a happy and full life praising You and bringing more people to You. We love You and we thank You Lord, hallelujah!  Blessed be the Lord, God of Israel, Our God! We love You Lord! Heal her, O Lord, heal Irene we pray, in Jesus’ name, thanking You in advance. We ask all this in Jesus’ Our Lord’s name, amen and amen.

Thank you, Kary…

May His Will and purposes be done,
Dave
