Catapult Prayers

Today I received a phone call from a very special friend of mine. We had been prayer partners for almost 16 years. We became friends at Teen Challenge thru our woman’s groups. Two weeks ago she called me to inform me that she had contracted the virus through her husband.   I was very concerned and honestly a little fearful because of her underline health issues with diabetes. Today we talk and what she had to share blew my mind. She is at the tail end of this ordeal. In her own words, this is what she felt. “It felt like a demonic attack. The virus intimidate me (such as the enemy bringing doubt and fear) I felt backed up into a corner with no way out. The Lord showed her how the virus mimics our good cells and tricks them into trusting it (counterfeiting our behavior and patterns) how she was able to taste the ugliness inside her mouth. How discouraged she felt, alone and isolated from everyone, but God. How she saw herself losing her strength and at times losing herself, But God. She heard the virus saying to her “You would die from this one”. She felt this virus stealing her hope, her dreams, and her future. But God. She heard God saying to her “Encourage your body don’t give up. Speak life to your good cells. Speak words of affirmation to your body. Speak life...speak, believe, and trust”. (death and life are in the power of the tongue, Prov 18:21) The Lord allowed her to see 3 battlefields which she had to pray for. These battlefields are people (multitudes)  - those fighting the virus.  -those fighting against the virus/ Fighting to stay healthy. - the leadership in our country. Making decisions for us. Later at night and even this morning I’m still digesting and processing everything she had said. The Lord bring me to a dream I had last year 1/16/19. Where I saw something try to come inside my mouth or trying to come out of my mouth. I didn't know what was happening since it happened so fast. But one thing it was revealed to me, was how to pray against it “If is trying to come in me, you are not welcome, if is coming out, Lord take everything that is not of you, away from me” The Lord spoke to my heart and I saw an ancient military device that will hurl missiles. It will aim directly at the position it had to hit. With great force. Our prayers are that missiles, As we focus on the target. As we persist, not wavering, no doubt, no fear. No matter what it comes our way. The Lord always has our back. He goes ahead making the way. He is our refuge in times of trouble. No plague will enter your dwellings as we get closer and deeper into God. Today as you get ready to continue on ask The Lord questions and wait until he answers. “The purpose of a man's heart are deep waters, but a man of understanding draws them out” Prov 20:5 Ivette Diaz-Yee Original Note May-2020
