We're praising God for:
Our safe trip to Idaho the first week of March and finding THE spot—Mile Marker 20 Hwy 36 where we will set up Free Prayer this summer. No permits required! Big enough for a semi-truck to turn around in!
A God-glorifying article about the Free Prayer ministry published in February in the Arizona Republic and San Tan Monthly and reprinted in various publications including the Truckers Newspaper.
We're asking God for:
His guidance as we start a discipleship group in our home in mid-April.
His direction as we pray about moving the Free Prayer ministry to Montpelier, Idaho.
Prayer Partners:
If you would like to be an intercessor for this ministry,
please email us at info@bwbministries.com.
We will email you current prayer requests.
"...In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."
-Luke 15:10

"GOD’S ABOUT TO SET ME FREE!"
Roadside Report from Emil
She got out of her car and said, "I need prayer. My marriage is in a shambles. I’m an alcoholic, one week and two days sober, and in a recovery program. I have four cigarettes left in my pack and I really want to quit. I don’t want anything any longer to come between me and the Lord." She said, "I have seen you out here for a very long time. I have wanted to stop every time but I felt so intimidated. I read the article in the paper and I loved it! I said, ‘Lord, the next time I see him, I am going to have him pray for me. I know it will set me free!’ I saw you and I had to turn around, so will you please pray for me?" I asked her if her marriage troubles were because of her alcoholism. She said no—she can’t stop speaking hateful awful things to her husband. The Lord showed me that she had spirits of addiction, slander and division. She said, "Yes, I know. At times when I speak bad things to my husband, I feel like my tongue is not my own and I want them to stop. I feel like I have no control over what blurts out of my mouth. I want it gone, and I want God to heal my marriage." The Lord said, "Ask her what she is the most afraid of?" "Disappointing God!" was her immediate response. I asked, "Who put this upon you, that you must be perfect?" She said, "My mother when I was growing up." I told her what I heard the Lord say, "She tells people all the time about my grace and forgiveness, but afterwards she feels like a hypocrite. She feels dirty but it is a lie. It is all because of her addictions." She agreed and said, "I know God is about to set me free and I am ready!" We prayed and she came out of agreement and we cast out addiction, slander and the spirit of division. When she prayed for the Holy Spirit to fill that place, she cried, then she laughed. She said, "Wow! I just felt my life change!" The Lord said, "Tell her she will no longer feel dirty and no longer feel she is a disappointment to me. When she hears the enemy say something condemning to her, she needs to rebuke it and ask Me the truth. I will tell her. I will heal their marriage. When they have an argument, ask Me what the truth is and I will show them and settle the argument quickly, for I cannot lie to them." She hugged me and left, but the next day she stopped to say, "I feel totally different! I went home and said to myself, ‘I’m going to smoke these 4 cigarettes and be done with them forever.’ Immediately I heard the Lord speak to me! He said, ‘No! You were just delivered on the side of the road and it is a lie. Throw them out. You are free!’’’ She said it startled her and she threw them away and said to the Lord, "I’m sorry. You’re right!" and she hasn’t wanted one since! She continued, "My husband wakes up every morning in such a bad mood I can’t wait till he leaves, and then I’m in a bad mood all day too. But this morning as he was getting ready, I heard your voice say that when we fight, the first one to come to their senses is to take the other person’s hand and pray for them! I didn’t want to but I took his hands and said, ‘We need to pray.’ He looked at me like I was out of my mind! But he let me pray and I said, ‘Jesus, please let my husband have a wonderful, happy day today. Help him to be in a really good mood as he finishes getting ready for work.’ It worked!! Instantly it broke and he was in a much better mood and so was I, and we had a peaceful time while he finished getting ready!" Tears came to her eyes as she said, "I am thankful that God had you out here for me yesterday. My life is totally changed!"
HER BROWN EYES TURNED GRAY.
She stopped and said, "I have heard your story on KLOVE, Family Life Radio, I saw it on the news, and heard it on Truckers for Christ ." She cried as she said, "I am so very thankful for what you and your wife are doing out here. I praise God for you. This is so needed!" Then she said, "I would like prayer. I have deadlines and a lot going on in my life and I try to spend time with the Lord every day but some days I just do not get to, like today." A she spoke, every time she looked me in the eye, her eyes would fill with tears and she’d look down at the ground. I prayed a general prayer to help her through her day. Then I felt to pray for her thoughts to come into alignment. She nodded and cried openly. Then the Lord said, "She is fearful and has a spirit of fear." I told her what I felt God was saying and she said, "Yes." She explained, "I am an easy-going person and people—friends, ex-boyfriends, my ex-husband—have really taken advantage of me and hurt me a lot. So I am really afraid of people hurting me again." She went on, "I have met the most wonderful man. He treats me great. He really cares about me. I want to spend the rest of my life with him but I am afraid to trust him. He hasn’t given me any reason not to trust him but I am so afraid." The Lord said, "Ask her if she would be willing to forgive all those who hurt her, to forgive all injustice done to her and to release them to Me." When I asked, "Are you willing to forgive them and release them to the Lord?" a demon manifested and her body jerked and she gave me a strange look. Her brown eyes had turned gray and her pupils were clouded over. I prayed her through a prayer of repentance for her unforgiveness. As she prayed to forgive and release them, she cried. I led her to come out of agreement with the spirit of fear and we cast it out. I prayed for her to be filled with the Holy Spirit and when we were done, her eyes were totally clear! I then prayed with her that if this man was the man God had for her, she would now be able to trust him completely. She hugged me before she left and said, "Thank you so much! I knew when I heard the story, I had to stop. I wanted a simple prayer and I got much more than I asked for!"

"SPEAK LIFE INTO THIS CHILD."
He said, "We are on our way to the hospital. My wife is having symptoms of a miscarriage." The Lord showed me the spirit of death with its hands around the baby’s neck. I prayed for its power to be broken and for it to release the baby, and I saw it
disappear. I prayed for divine health, protection and for long life to return to the child. I felt the Lord say, "Tell them not to fear,
that they need to speak life into this child. Satan wants them to be fearful and agree with him that she will die; then he wins.
This child is a gift from Me and she has a long life ahead of her." The Lord said if fear welled up in them, they were to pray for the
fear to go and to pray divine health and long life over the child, blessing her. About 3 hours later, I got a call. They had been told
it was a tubal pregnancy and that the baby would have to be removed. "We were really bummed but your words came back to us,"
he said, "and we closed the door, placed our hands on her stomach and prayed for divine health and long life and that this child
would live. Then we asked them to run the tests again. Two hours after the second test, the doctors came in and told us,
‘We must have read the test reports wrong. This time the baby was evident in the womb and there was just a small cyst in the
tube, which we can treat with medication!’ But we know it was God and not a mistake!!!"
TELL YOUR MOTHER HER PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED!
He pulled up on the roadside on his motorcycle, a guy in his early 30s, all excited. He jumped off and said, "I read your article and I’ve been all over looking for you. I just wanted to take a picture of you by the banner to show to my mother and aunt. I mailed a copy of the article to them because they are very religious and I know they’d be interested. And now that I’ve found you, I’m going to send them a picture as well and they’ll be so excited that I actually got to see you!" As he was taking the picture, I kept asking the Lord what He wanted to say to him and I heard, "He’s not mine." So I asked him, "Where’s Jesus in your life?" He said, "Oh, He’s there." "Where?" "Well, I talk to Him, and I pray," he said, "and I’ve gone to church with my mother most of my life." I said, "Yeah, but have you ever asked Jesus into your heart?" He said, "No, that’s my mom and my aunt," and I said, "Well, what about you?" I explained to him all about the love of Jesus and how the Lord wants to forgive him of his sins and told him that I felt the Lord was saying, ‘He has his mother’s Jesus but he doesn’t have Me for himself." When I told him that, he looked really shocked. He said, "I guess I never thought of it that way. You’re right, I’ve been living my whole life behind my mother’s faith but I’ve never had faith of my own." So he accepted the Lord and got filled with the Holy Spirit. After he prayed with me, he said, "Thank you! I guess I just grew so accustomed to going to church because I knew it made my mom happy that I never thought about going for myself. My mom read me Bible stories when I was young and told me about Jesus. I’m embarrassed to say I never really thought about making Him my own." I asked him, "Now, do you really want to make your mom and your aunt excited?!" And he said, "Yeah!" "I said, "Good! Tell them that all these years of praying on their knees for you to come to know Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior paid off today, this day! You’ll make their day more than any picture could possibly do." He said, "Really?" And I said, "Yeah, I know I am serving the Lord today, and the rest of my family too, because my mother prayed earnestly every day for us, so I know your mother and your aunt have been doing that for you. Let them know that their prayers have been answered!" He hugged me and said, "I will! Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know and to show me that I needed a relationship of my own with Jesus."
