THANK YOU, AMAZING and MIGHTY GOD!

I asked you to pray for missionary Nick Boyd in Mozambique. Nick was seriously ill with malaria. He lives with his wife Marlene in an area with no modern hospitals.

Today, Nick posted this on his facebook:

THANKING JESUS & ALL OF YOU who have prayed and interceded on my behalf because I'm ALIVE and pretty much HEALED in Jesus name! Woke up today feeling much much better and so full of joy! We've been overwhelmed by the love and prayer support from friends and family and people we don't even know all around the world! I'm more than thankful for each of you praying and sending love to us here in Africa! Sunday night was really scary...I felt like I was gonna die. Praise Jesus it's not my time to go! And a special thanks to my amazing lovely wife who has taken better care of me than any doctor could ever do...she's been by my side covering me in prayer & worship every minute...please feel free to share this status so everybody won't worry anymore. Jesus is so so good! Thank you all again so very much! HALLELUJAH!

Thank you all so much for your prayers.

Thank You, Amazing and Mighty God. Truly, You are a God of miracles.

PLEASE KEEP PRAYING

In last night's blog post, I mentioned Nick Boyd's need for prayer. Nick and Marlene met a few years ago while both serving the Lord in Mozambique.

After marrying, they moved to Tete, Mozambique, where they have become the spiritual parents for boys living on the streets and dump piles, eating rat-like rodents and without the bare basics that most of us in America take for granted every single day.

Nick and Marlene are totally sold out for Jesus. They love Him passionately and love their boys with a fierceness that makes all the sacrifices of living in Northern Mozambique totally worth it.

Nick is seriously ill now with malaria. They live in an area without a modern hospital. Marlene and others are caring for him at home. Marlene posted this on her facebook wall earlier today:

"Please continue to pray for my husband, he cannot hold anything down and he keeps going to the bathroom...I'm trusting my papa God! It is so very hard to be so far away from our families and friends in a country where they don't have good hospitals. All we have and need is JESUS!"

Marlene's sister said in an earlier post that he is "super weak, pale, cold to the touch, and having trouble breathing" and "is going to the bathroom so much that he can't go to the hospital", "he is dehydrated".

Please pray for God to miraculously heal Nick. Restore him to his full strength and give strength and peace to Marlene and their Mozambican boys as they take care of him far from their family back here in the States.  Family and friends may be too far to "be there" but God never is.

REALLY NEED YOUR PRAYERS

I've got some pretty serious things I really need you to pray about right now.

The first is for my spirit and mind. Since moving to We Will Go, the Lord has just supernaturally delivered me from the fear that used to hold me in bondage. Something has happened that Satan is now using to attack me emotionally and I am freaking out in fear, scared to the point of tears. Don't worry, all my kids are fine. I know with my head that ultimately, the peace and protection we have here does not come from things of this earth, from circumstances, and that my trust must be in Him and Him alone but I need to get this back in my spirit. Jim said he believes that this time God is telling me to choose peace. To choose NOT to be afraid. To choose not to let Satan have me in bondage. Pray that I have the strength to choose to trust Him. Pray that I have the mind of Christ. Pray that I can stand. I can not do this apart from His Spirit. And do please pray for God to move strongly in the related situation. Nothing is too big for God!

The second is for a miracle of healing. Nick Boyd is a missionary in Mozambique who has a serious case of malaria. God is bigger than malaria. He is bigger than any disease. He healed people in the Bible times and He is still the healing God today. Please pray for Nick's body to be healed of this sickness and for him to fully recover. He and his wife Marlene minister to street boys in Tete, Mozambique. You can read more about their work at their website: http://pioneer61.org/

Thank you, friends. We could not do what we do here in Jackson without prayer and missionaries around the world depend on the prayers of the saints to help them in this fight against darkness.
