Continued Urgent Prayer

​

Dear Prayer Partners,

Thank you for your prayers, we are still standing in faith that the LORD has and will deliver John of all the attacks of the enemy!!

Friday afternoon he has a horrible attack of pain and as he cannot tell you where the pain is,  all we knew was that it was more than he could handle.

The pain he was and is having is from a 6mm kidney stone, that on Friday night was found to be  traveling down from the kidney.  They are doing another

test today, Monday, to see where it is.  In the meantime all that the doctors can offer is pain relief, and it is taking huge amounts of continued pain meds (mostly

morphine ) just to keep John somewhat comfortable, I am pretty sure if he could tell us, he would say they are not doing a really good job, we do realize the

doctors are trying, but as his face says, even with all the pain meds he is still having moments of intense pain.

Thank you for your continued prayer for John and me.  Having someone you love and is part of you, hurts you almost as much as it hurts them.

Not so sure John would agree, but it is painful, nevertheless.

We thank the LORD for your continued prayers and support,

Love

Monette and John

Should tell you this, when the aged care facility didn't have the answers for the reason why John was in pain, I just said FATHER what is causing

all this pain, and I heard "a kidney stone".  Took some convincing to get the staff at the place to call an ambulance  and get him to the hospital,

 but someone finally listened to me (I am sure they thought I didn't know what I was talking about).  We were not there very long at all before the

pain resurfaced and the doctor in the emergency room did agree, he thought it was a kidney stone, too, and of course it was!!  Our GOD knows all

the answers and the questions. 

Psalm 24:1 The earth is the LORD's and all its fullness, the world and those who dwell therein.

We belong to HIM and no one is able to snatch us out of HIS hand.  (John 10:29 )

So very Thankful we Belong to HIM!!

Urgent Prayer

​

Dear Prayer Partners,

Thank you for your continued prayer and standing in the gap for John and me.

John is in an extreme amount of pain today, they have done some test to try to determine the cause.  We do know that he has a chest infection, but they do not believe this has to do with the pain.

Please continue to pray for complete healing for him and for wisdom and that the test would reveal where the pain is coming from and for the doctors to know how to treat the cause.

Thank you so much again for continuing to stand with us.

Agape,

Monette and John

Just had and thought we have a whole army of Prayer Warriors!! praying with us.  Thank you so very much for taking the time to pray.  We are blessed and highly favored, all of us.

Prayer Requests

​

Dear Prayer Partners, family and friends,

 

We are praying you have a very Merry Christmas and a Blessed, Joyous, and Prosperous New Year.   There is such an anticipation for this New Year!!  Looking forward to what the

Lord has in store for us and you in this New Year.  Jeremiah 29:11  For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Thank you for your love, prayers, encouraging words, and support. 

The ward John is in is experiencing an outbreak of some kind of infection, with flu like symptoms along with cough and congestion.  John has been diagnosed with a chest infection and has

 been in isolation the last couple of days but that was stopped this morning for him.

The ward is still under lock down, isolation, and this morning they were not sure if it would be lifted before Christmas.  There was a new case of infection

diagnosed this morning so it seems there is an ongoing infection is the ward.  Please be praying not only for John but for the others in the ward and the nurses and aids that are caring for

 the residents. There are a few of the nurses and aids which are infected also.  It is a very trying and tiresome job even on good days without sickness in the ward.  A lot of the dementia

patients express agitation when the are unwell, so the aids and nurses are under a lot more pressure to try to keep the ward calm and peaceful.  So please be praying for healing and peace for

 the residents, nurses and aids.

We are so thankful "our GOD is able" to do far above what we can hope or dream.  So we keep believing, trusting and waiting on HIM who is faithful!

 

GOD Bless you

 Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

Love,

Love

Monette and John

Prayer Needs

​

Dear Prayer Partners,

I know it has been a while since I have sent a news letter.  Please forgive me, sometimes it is very hard to say what you want,  we are battling and praying and believing and speaking healing and health over John and others.  Keeping our eyes on JESUS the Author and Finisher of our Faith!!!

Thank you so much for your faith, your prayers, your support, your love and your faithfulness.  John has been doing pretty well, although he isn't able to walk, doesn't talk much but all things being as they are we are thanking the LORD for what HE is doing and believing for John's healing, the Word says in Mark 16:18 they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.  We continue to lay hands on John and speak healing and health to his entire body, soul and spirit.

As of yesterday, the doctor at the aged care home has diagnosed John with an upper respiratory infection.  Today, I was informed that the flu virus is also been diagnosed in several of the patients and they are asking family members to limit their visits and if they have an sign of sickness not to come at all. Otherwise they are on lockdown until the outbreak is under control.

Please be praying for John and the other patients and residents in the building and the nursing and care staff, that the LORD would protect all of them from this or any other disease.

We are thankful!!! If you remember about September of last year John was given 2 weeks to live.  He is still here so the LORD is not finished with him.  He has been in this aged care home for a year on November 7TH.  What a miracle!!  For sure the LORD is not finished with him yet.

Thank you so much for your prayers, your encouraging notes, your visits, your phone calls, your love, your support, your prayers just being there and us knowing there are people who love and care for us, we are so blessed to have friends who will believe and pray with us and for us.

GOD bless all of you

Agape,

Monette and John

Praise and Prayer

​

Dear Prayers Partners

Thank you so much for your prayers and your love and your support.

John had an MRI last week and this past Monday, May 30, we received another good report "No growth on the cancer".  The doctor was truly amazed and pleased.  John had been listening and not really looking at him, until he said there was no growth, then he looked up and paid attention.  He was very encouraged by what he said.  We rejoice that there has been no tumor growth in 9 months.

Now we wait for the fulfillment of Joel 2:25-26 over the negative effects of the treatments, the radiation and the chemo, and of course the tumors. So our prayer is complete and total healing and restoration!   Taking back what Satan has stolen including our time talent and money, he really owes us and you! 

So we are looking for that miracle that completes John's total healing. We eagerly await the day that we can proclaim the good news anew and share our testimony of  Johns complete and total restoration and how the Goodness and Majesty of our God is available to all who are in need, whatever the need is.  Don't underestimate our FATHER's love for you!!!  How wide and How deep, unmeasurable!

Thank you for your continued prayer support and encouragement. We could not do this without the Lord and your prayers upholding us.  So many of you have reached out and touched our hearts with your faith, notes, emails, phone calls, visits and gifts. The past almost three years have been filled with times of joy and tears; times of faith and testing,  God always comes through just when we need Him and He has used you over and over. Thank you and God bless you for your love and faithfulness to us and to The Lord!

Prayers needs:

Increased measure of faith and trust

Fruit of the Holy Spirit in us both as we meet people who need the Lord

Tumors eradicated and healthy brain cells in their place

Damage reversed caused by the treatments and medicines

Agape,

Monette and John

,

We are holding on, looking to and trusting Our FATHER!

Romans 8:28 and we Know (not what we know but Who we know, as John would remind you) that all things work together for good to those who love GOD, to those who are the called according to HIS purpose.

For those of you who have said that the LORD has laid it on your hearts to help us financially and wanted to know where to send it, and because I don't always have the info with me and then I forget ,I thought I would just add it here.
