prayers needed!

we are in need of some mighty prayer warriors right now. 

prayer requests are below.

if you feel moved by the Holy Spirit, please share these with other christians as well. 

thanks!

-that freedom found would be maintained, for a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ, strength against temptation, and spiritual growth.

-that the captives who are freed would not only learn to live in freedom, but also be used to bring about the destruction of the enemy in the lives of others. 

-for continued wisdom how best to handle and fight in these battles

-that Satan and his demons would see the defeat they have already experienced, realize the battle is hopeless against our Risen Savior, and desert their mission(s).

-for wisdom, discernment, and the Holy Spirit's guidance into all Truth for those in spiritual authority 

-that God would use these battles and a biblically balanced perspective of spiritual warfare to transform the American church. 

-for the binding of the strongmen involved in these battles (Matt 12:29), all demons under their authority, and their works in Jesus' name.

-that Satan and his demons would lose their control over those who they hold captive--that the captives would retain control over their minds and bodies at all times, not be fearful but grown in their faith and understanding of their identity in Christ (for those who are saved), submit to Christ in humility and obedience and resist Satan with boldness through the power of Jesus Christ.

-that we all (even those of you who are praying) would remember the importance of the armor of God in the battle.

-for deliverance in every single life that Satan has entangled into his web of lies

-for protection for all those who are supporting us in the battle (through prayer, information, etc.).

-that the joy of the Lord would be our strength

-for strengthened faith, encouragement, revelation/discernment, trust that God's hand is over all that is going on, and that He will only allow what He knows will accomplish His purposes most effectively, working all for our good

-for God's continued protection for all involved, including for the children not directly involved in the battles (especially at times when we are occupied with urgent needs of our vulnerable children); that God's mighty angels would be camped out around our campus, circling us in

-for protection for CVE's reputation/ministry, that Jesus' name would continue to be glorified; for favor with government officials and protection from government intervention; protection from scrutiny from authorities and/or family members of our vulnerable children

-against distractions

-that God will continue to break down barriers to trust in Him and Satan's lies in the gentlest way possible; for the breaking of every chain and the Lord's complete healing

God bless you for holding up our arms through prayer!
