(Excerpt from book  Jesus of Nazareth by Pope Benedict XVI, p. 175)

          “And who could fail to see the poisoning of the spiritual climate all over the world that threatens the dignity of man, indeed his very existence? The individual human being, and even communities of human beings, seem to be hopelessly at the mercy of such powers. The Christian knows that he cannot master this threat by his own resources alone. But in faith, in communion with the only true Lord of the world, he is given the “armor of God.” It enables him - in communion with the whole body of Christ - to oppose those powers, knowing that Lord’s gift of faith restores the pure breath of life: the breath of the Creator, the breath of the Holy Spirit, which alone can give health to the world."

 

“MIRACLE PRAYER” TESTIMONY

        “My sister-in-law Helen, single, 85 years old, has brain tumor, intestinal bleeding, blindness in one eye and Parkinson disease…Last May 2007 she  was totally bedridden, she could not move or talk and could no longer recognize people other than her caregiver…She was then placed in hospice in San Jose (California) because she was dying. I gave a copy of the Miracle Prayer and world petitions to the caregiver and she prayed this with Helen every 3 PM together with Divine Mercy chaplet (Helen has prayed latter for many years). We believe she could still hear the prayers because she opened her eyes and looked at the caregiver.

          Miraculously, with GOD’S blessing, three months later in August, she can move her head and hands. She can even eat with her hands though they are trembling due to Parkinson’s disease.  She can converse normally and…is even making plans.  She now repeats the Miracle Prayer after the caregiver.

          Last November 23, she was taken out of hospice and moved to her apartment under doctor’s treatment.…..Helen, my family and I thank GOD for His wonderful, magnificent and abundant love for her.” Loida B., San Jose, California, USA       We LOVE and ADORE YOU J E S U S !

GLORY TO GOD FOR HIS HEALINGS IN

AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND, PHILIPPINES AND USA    

    The following are testimonies from people prayed over by Lorna Lisk, founder-president of Worldwide United Prayer for Christ who has a powerful USA and international healing ministry. Her husband Thom assisted her in praying for other needs other than physical healing. The first petition prayed for daily by WUPC partners is for world salvation. (How to be PRAYER PARTNERS of Worldwide United Prayer for Christ - see below).   It is hoped that witness of God’s healings below will melt stony hearts, draw multitudes  to CHRIST like in early Christianity, bring them to salvation. Is. 49: 6 states, "I will make you a light to the nations, that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth."                                           

      Testimony of a Man with Late Stage Cancer

            “I was diagnosed with lung cancer, stage 3B, in March 2006. I had many prayer groups praying for me…and had chemotherapy and radiation treatments. On Oct. 2006, I had a Pet scan done and it still showed signs of some Cancer. We did (attend a healing service of Lorna Lisk in Norfolk, Connecticut, (USA) on Oct. 28, 2006. Several weeks ago (March 2007) I was informed by my Cancer Doctor that I was 100^% cancer free, He was totally amazed because it did show in the October Pet scan…Considering I had a very serious cancer, in a later stage group…there is no explanation possible except a miracle in my eyes and others …thank the Lord and Lorna for helping me in time of need.” John H. Connecticut, USA

Testimony of Lady with Multiple Sclerosis; Son  Got Job

            “I had multiple sclerosis for nine months and I was on a wheelchair when I attended Lorna’s healing services at St. Michael Church (Worthington, Ohio)* last October 14, 2006. Two months after I was prayed over , I did not need my wheelchair. I was able to get up and climb the stairs. The pain in my lower back disappeared. The numbness and painful cramps of my hands, legs and feet were healed. I could do household work.  On June 24, 2007 my two attending doctors and specialist told me that  my multiple sclerosis was healed and gone. Now I can walk without my walker…

          Lorna Lisk also prayed for my son Michael who for two years could not get a job where he can ride a bus to work. Three weeks later, Michael got a job…where there is a bus line to our home.

        Thanks and glory to our Lord for healing my multiple sclerosis and giving my son a job. Thanks to blessed Mother Mary for her intercession, Lorna for her prayers. Myrna C., Columbus, Ohio, USA     *Parish priests: Frs. Richard Pendolphi and James Coleman

Praise Report, Philippine National Police Chapel, Camp Crame, Philippines

          Fr. Rey Urmeneta, the chaplain, gave a wonderful homily at a noon  mass. Lorna Lisk  did a healing service and general prayers for about 400 people during their lunch break.

Praise  to our Triune GOD!   Immediately after that Lorna prayed with a group of 6 priests  of that chapel. Some of them  got instant healing of pain and other physical healing.

       From  St. Mary’s Parish, Nelson, New Zealand (3 healing services by Lorna and one talk by Thom before men’s group) - A lady with half of body paralyzed - most of the numbness of her body is gone; one relieved of vertigo;  a lady with fibromyalgia - pain all over her body vanished;   many experienced spiritual and emotional healing; few with blurred vision could see clearly; numerous instant healing of pain in various parts of body during healing services. Parish priest is Fr. Raymond Soriano. Led by Willie and Paula Schryvers and Aloys and Margaret Achterberg. Praise JESUS!

 

   NOTE: A large majority of GOD’S instant healings during healing services are permanent from reports of people (revisited & otherwise). Those whose illness recurred, maybe, due to its severity or indulging later in activities that initially caused the pain, for example, are asked to share JESUS’ cross for redemption of mankind while in prayer/quest for healing. There are many though, even with severe illness, who were healed. We praise GOD also for His healings that happened later. Many people were awed by GOD’S instant healings which increased their faith  and brought them to deeper conversion, glorifying Him.

 

TIMELY TIPS ON THE USE OF TIME

Rev. John H. Hampsch, C.M.F.

        The following are excerpts from the above  booklet by Fr. Hampsch.

        Bishop of Salisbury John Baker says, “We should think about death far more, because it sharpens one’s priorities as very few other stimuli can. It makes you ask, “What are the really important things I should be doing with my life, not just for myself, but for other people? Are there quarrels I’d like to heal, relationships I’d like to mend, something I’d like to do for somebody but keep putting off?”

          As only a deep thinking philosopher could, he (Colton) synopsizes the three dimensions of time: “Wisdom walks before it, opportunity with it, and repentance behind it.”

  …we are so often preoccupied with the pressures of our life of “hectivity” that we neglect to see our more urgent needs and also the needs of others, who, incidentally, are hurt by our reckless and/or selfish use of time. For instance, excessive time watching television…results in children or spouses being “bumped” by neglect of communication, neglect of training, neglect of family prayer, neglect of emotional intimacy, etc. Likewise, excessive time spent on hobbies, gambling, abuse of drugs or alcohol, etc. have devastating effects on oneself and others …

     Time and again Scripture reminds us that time is lent to be spent, ultimately, in God’s service. …”I tell you that men will have to give an account on the day of judgment even for every careless word they have spoken,” warned Jesus (Matt: 12:36)…

        Our time managing ability can be assayed by mentally asking..: Do I pray or do something for self-betterment during commercials..? How do I use the time while waiting for movies or lectures to start?..

          What are my specific plans or goals for the future for my own spiritual growth and development, and for my apostolate…What matters occupy my thoughts, my attitudes, my conversation? Are these in harmony with God’s will for my life?. Will my activities have any lasting effects on myself or others for good? How about effects for eternity? Do I speak in uplifting ways..(Phil. 4:8-9)? In all my behavior do I edify my family and friends..(Rom. 14:19)?

          On that day (Jesus’ second coming) our time-use throughout life will determine what our paycheck will be.“.. I am coming soon.. and I will give to everyone according to what he has done” (Rev. 22:12).

 

MESSAGE FROM THE FOUNDER - PRESIDENT

          Keep the fires of prayer burning brightly in our world that is in dire need of JESUS, OUR SAVIOR!  We rejoice in the great news that partial birth abortion has been outlawed in the US, that embryonic-like stem cells can be harvested from adult stem cells (breakthrough for abortion issue and treatment of diseases galore); that mortality rate of the Iraq war is at its low since 2004; that devastating hurricanes in US have diminished significantly the past two years. The united prayer of countless people in the world including that of  Prayer Partners  of Worldwide United Prayer for Christ is working. This should inspire us to use the most potent weapon in combating the overwhelming evil in the world - our daily united prayer (Mt. 18:19). This is in  line with our pope’s message above of using our gift of faith.  Distribute to as many as you can the Miracle Prayer and World Petitions and help them with their needs as well. Have the spirit of Christmas and service for JESUS in the New Year!

        Let’s constantly pray (l Thes.5:17) daily for world peace, end of terrorism, nuclear threat, increase in vocations to the priesthood. That Christ will be restored in the hearts of all Christians should be prayed for daily to stem rapid de-Christianization especially in Europe where church attendance is very low.

        When Fr. Wahid of Melbourne, Australia took us to lunch/city tour, we were surprised when he praised God for the heavy rain then - there is drought in Melbourne for 5 years. Pray for its cessation. 

        Use mental prayer frequently everywhere even in public places where Christians are hesitant to utter a religious word for fear of political retribution from atheists. If we maximize our prayer and keep on clinging to Jesus with our righteous ways (Prov. 10:16), we will have victory over our insurmountable challenges. We will make significant milestones in our goal of salvation for us and for countless others in all nations. Inspiring Lk. 3:6 states, "...and all flesh shall see the salvation of God."   Lorna Lisk 

                                       

HOW TO BE PRAYER PARTNERS of Worldwide United Prayer for Christ

          Prayer Partners of Worldwide United Prayer for Christ (WUPC) pray daily the Miracle Prayer and 7 petitions for the world. Among these are: 1) world salvation, 2) world peace, 3) end of terrorism, nuclear threat, our protection from them; end of abortion, decrease in crime, moral decay, calamities;  5) increase in vocations to priesthood, for our pope, bishops, clergy, religious and government leaders.
