We're praising God for:
His protection!!!! The driver of a flatbed truck tried to run Emil over on the roadside two weeks ago. He came so close Emil was sandwiched between the motorcycle
and the passing truck.
A young man, whom we prayed for six months ago on the roadside when he had just gotten out of prison. He stopped again last week. He was excited because he had just prayed with one of his customers! He is on fire for the Lord!
Pastor Randy Deal and Karen Bugg from Rock Point Church for taking time to sit down with us and guide us step-by-step through legal requirement of moving and expanding the ministry.
We're asking God for:
A buyer for our home with a full-price offer to cover closing costs on both ends and moving expenses.

EMPHYSEMA HEALED
Roadside Report from Emil
She was on an oxygen tank and smoking a cigarette! "Why don’t we pray to get rid of this oxygen tank?" I asked her and added, "You know, as long as you’re smoking cigarettes, that emphysema’s going to stay." She agreed, "I know. For years I’ve been trying to get rid of cigarettes and I just can’t." I said, "Well, it’s an addiction and addiction is a demon. We can get rid of it right now and you’ll be clean." The Lord revealed that the emphysema was because she had anger against her husband. She said they’ve been married 36 years and for the first 30 years, her husband never gave her any money and never trusted her with bank accounts but in the last 6 years, he gives her anything she wants and her name is on all the accounts. I said, "The Lord says you’re still angry at him and you need to forgive your husband and release your anger." She confessed that at least once a day she thinks about it. So we prayed and she forgave him and released all the anger and then the Lord said, "Have her break the fear that it will happen again." She laughed because it was a constant fear that he would revert back to that. We broke that fear and she felt something change and then I prayed for her to come out of agreement with the spirit of addiction and we cast it out. We had the Holy Spirit fill that place. I prayed for emphysema to go and prayed for her lungs to be open and to break resistance. As I prayed that, she felt a surge of wind flowing through her lungs! She felt her lungs open and she got really light headed and dizzy. "Oh my gosh, can you feel that?! It feels so weird, like a strong wind rushing through my lungs!" I said, "Thank You, Jesus! Just receive your healing!" She said, "I haven’t breathed this easy on my own in years!" She kept saying, "I felt something happen in my chest. I feel so different. What is that? What’s happening?" Her daughter said, "Mom, that’s the Holy Spirit. He’s healing your lungs!" They both cried and hugged me over and over! Before they left, I reminded her, "You know, every time you light up a cigarette, you need to realize that you give the enemy a right to be in your chest." She said, "I never thought of that but now I really believe it."
"I’M NOT GOING THERE ANYMORE!"
She is a Christian and has been addicted to meth for years. Clean for just 15 days, she had a bad stomach ache that morning, so she jumped in her car and was on her way to get high. She had prayed, "Lord, I don’t know what to do—is there anyone who can pray with me so I don’t go get high?" She told me, "I turned down the street and there you were! I’ve seen you before but I wasn’t ready!" I explained to her that addiction is a demon and that she could get rid of it if she wanted to. She said, "Oh yes, can we do that right now?" We prayed and she came out of agreement with it, commanded a spirit of addiction, cravings and withdrawals to go to the feet of Jesus, and filled all those areas with the Holy Spirit. As she prayed for the Holy Spirit to fill her, she started crying and crying. She felt something happen inside of her. I told her that without Jesus this addiction will come back. "You cannot do it on your own. Through the power and strength of the Holy Spirit, you will be set free and you need a Jesus-based program steeped in the Bible." I gave her information about Celebrate Recovery and she was really excited to check it out.
I then prayed over her for the Lord to break all the negative words and lies that somebody has spoken into her life. She kept nodding her head and crying.
After we prayed, she told me that yesterday her oldest son actually hugged and kissed her for the first time in years. While she’s been using, he wouldn’t even come near her. I said, "That’s because your kids are afraid you’re going to die." She agreed and then she said, "I know something has just happened and I’m not going to go back there anymore." She said all her cravings for going to get high were gone and she felt good! She hugged me 3 or 4 times and kept thanking me for being out there.
As soon as she left, a huge gust of wind grabbed the FREE PRAYER banner, twisted it, ripped the Velcro off, ripped the pole out, and sent the banner flying. I don’t know if it was time for me to go in or if the enemy just plain got mad!
"ARE YOU THE PRAYER GUY?"
I had just gotten off the motorcycle when a woman pulled up and called out, "Are you the prayer guy?" When I said yes, she began to cry and said, "WE NEED YOU." For the first 15 minutes, all she could do was cry and tell me how confused she was. She and her husband are involved in a legal battle with his ex-wife. They are about to lose everything they own and she feels on the verge of a nervous breakdown. The Lord kept giving me REVENGE, that it had nothing to do with money. The Lord said, "This is a spiritual battle they are in." I explained that the Bible says that the enemy comes to kill, steal and destroy, and that the battle isn’t against flesh and blood but against spiritual powers. We prayed to break the power of the spirit of revenge over the family. The Lord said, "Tell her that she’s constantly in fear of what might happen. She has spirits of confusion, anxiety and fear." When I told her that, she totally agreed and said, "Yes, all 3 of those rule my life." I said, "Well, this isn’t how God intended for you to live. Would you like to get rid of them?" She said, "Oh yeah!" After we prayed and cast them out, she felt so at peace she couldn’t believe it. She said all the confusion and fear were gone. She told me that she felt that God hadn’t heard her prayers at all in six months. I said, "Well, the Lord HAS heard your prayers because this morning we prayed and the Lord gave us THIS road and THIS time." She broke down sobbing and said, "Oh my God, I can’t believe this…you mean God really heard my prayers?" I said, "Well, I’m here setting up at this time and you were just going by as I pulled up." "Oh my God, I can’t believe that God actually sent you here for ME." She cried uncontrollably and kept praising God that He heard her and that He had me here to let her know how much He loves her. I told her to pray for the ex-wife and explained that she can pray and block the enemy from interfering any further in this matter. The Lord said to tell her that every time she gets down, she just needs to say, "Lord, I trust You," and it will sink into her heart and she would truly begin to trust Him. She hugged me and said, "You have no idea how much you have helped me."

GANG BANGER TO CHRISTIAN!
He said he’s a Christian—he just doesn’t practice it. I asked, "So, what do you mean by practicing?" He said, "When I was little, my mother took me to church. I heard about Jesus and gave my heart to Him. Later I went to church because I knew it made her happy." He has three little boys and his wife has filed for divorce. I asked why. He said he is a womanizer and he runs with the gangs and drinks. I said, "Where is Jesus in your life?" He said, "I don’t know." I said, "Does that bother you?" He said, "Sometimes." I said, "If you died tonight, where would you go?" He said, "Oh, definitely hell!" I said, "So you’re happy about that?" He said, "No but I don’t know how I can avoid it. I just don’t know what to do." I said, "Yes, you do! That’s why you stopped." His eyes filled with tears. The Lord said, "He knows. Tell him." "You know that your lifestyle is a choice and you don’t have to live like this. You don’t need to be getting a divorce and you don’t need to be separated from your three sons. I believe the Lord is showing me that deep down inside, you really want to do right! And you know that Jesus is the only answer to all your problems. But the Lord says your faith is based upon your mother’s relationship with Jesus ONLY, that you know your mother’s Savior and Lord but that you never have known Him for yourself." He said, "I never thought about it that way but you’re absolutely right. I only know what my mother has told me about God and Jesus, but I don’t know anything about Him on my own."
"The Lord is asking me to ask you if you still love your wife." He said, "Yes, I do!" "And does she still love you?" He said, "Yes she does. She told me if I would get my act together and quit being such a jerk, she would not divorce me, but she can’t live like this anymore." I said, "Well, I believe you truly want to change! And I don’t believe you want to lose your sons or your wife. I know God is calling you back to Him and I believe you know it. The Lord says you’re tired of your present life. You have been searching since you last went to church with your mother for something to fill your life and you haven’t found it in drugs, alcohol, women, or running with the gangs. Jesus is calling you back home like the prodigal son," and I told him the story. I went on, "God is just like the father who waited and watched for his sinful son to return. I know He wants you back the same way because I was about to pack up 10 minutes ago but the Lord said, &lsquoNo! Wait! There is someone you need to be here for.&rsquo So I sat back down and you pulled up! The Lord wants you to bring your family to Him if you are willing to stop playing games and turn your life over to him right NOW! I know that is why you are here." He began to cry and said, "Yes, I am! What do I have to do?"
We prayed and he rededicated his life to the Lord. I gave him a Bible for his wife and one for himself. He had tears in his eyes when he left to go tell his wife what had happened and to start a new life as a Christian husband and father.
IT’S OFFICIAL!
WE’RE TAKING FREE PRAYER TO IDAHO.
Why? We felt the Lord say in March, "I want you to bring Free Prayer to Idaho and move to Montpelier. I am not changing the vision of Bikers with Boundaries—you will always do Free Prayer—I am enlarging it." Since then, it was confirmed over and over to us until we fully embraced the vision. Free Prayer has always been, and will continue to be, a ministry in which the Lord uses us to reach unreached people who are not coming into the churches for various reasons.
Where? In the southeastern corner of Idaho, next to Wyoming on the east and Utah to the South. We could easily set up in three states in one week!
When? As soon as our home here in Queen Creek sells and closes. We have a contract on a home in Idaho, contingent upon our home selling by June 8th. We will move within 30 days after our house selling.
What? We will continue to do Free Prayer on the roadsides there from Monday through Friday. We will have church services in our home on Sunday mornings and a weekly discipleship group.
How? We are and will continue to be a self-supporting ministry. We are happy to accept cash and non-cash donations if you would like to help make Free Prayer to Idaho a reality.
"Ask of me and I will make the nations your inheritance and the ends of the earth your possession."
Psalm 2:8
