Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. (Galatians 5:1)
Jesus, please come and break our yokes of bondage and bring us into the freedom of the children of God.
Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing. (Galatians 5:2)
Father, please help us learn that the deeds we do in the flesh should be the fruit of our life in Christ and not the basis for living in him.
And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is a debtor to keep the whole law. (Galatians 5:3)
Holy Spirit, please help us repent of putting our confidence in the deeds of the flesh.
You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. (Galatians 5:4)
Jesus, we pray for all those who are estranged from you that you will nail to your cross everything that hinders their walk with you. Help them turn to you and find you mighty to save.
For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. (Galatians 5:5)
Jesus, no deed done or not done avails us, but faith working through love.
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love. (Galatians 5:6)
Lord Jesus, help us answer your call to take up our cross and follow you by faith today. Thank you.
A word received: I long to refresh my people; I long for them to turn to me.

Subject: Personal Prayer request
My dear prayer warriors,
Thank you all again so very much for your prayers that saved my life. Keep praying dear souls… it works.
I do need some follow up prayers please:
1) Please pray for the complete healing of my lungs, for the lining, for elasticity, that the scar tissue heals up.
2) For physical stamina = NRG!
3) For my muscles and tendons: that the low grade pain leave and that they are restored and strengthened by the Lord.
4) That I may speak without running out of breath mid sentence!
5) That I may speak boldly about what God is doing in the healing ministry today as I remind people that God is still very much in the business of healing, of this I have no doubt.
6) I am still on part time 2 to 4 hrs a day… please pray that I may have the strength to return to full time ministry, and one day play the bag pipes again
7) For the souls who died in combat I knew in the Royal Marines: David Allen, (NI) Jock,(Falklands) Derick Reed (NI, my drill instructor), One other in the Falklands killed by friendly fire, he forgot the password, and sadly I have forgotten his name.
For the wounded: Tom who lost both his legs and for Tim who was shot and wounded but lost his child when his wife found out that he had been shot, collateral damage! For all the souls lost in combat.
8 ) For revival of the healing ministry throughout the land.
Thank you so very much dear souls. I really do so appreciate your prayers. I do so cherish your prayers. Much love to you in Jesus name
Fr, Nigel Mumford+
