    A Prisoner's Prayer

    About this ebook

    For years I felt I had to hide the pain, hurt, and anger hidden within. I pretended to be happy, when I was hurting deeply on the inside. When I was around others I felt as though I was inside a cage.

    When I realized I couldn't share my thoughts with anyone, not even the people closest to me, I began writing on paper as if I were talking to God. What I was writing down were thoughts in the form of prayers. I began to hand the prayers out to inmates. Inmates started opening up to me and asking me to pray about the situations they feared most: walking into the courtroom and standing before the judge.

    Ninety percent of the inmates that received those prayers, walked free with no prison time to serve. The other 10% did not walk away free because of their lack of belief in the prayers.

    I soon realized that I must go boldly to the throne room of God and plead my case. At that point I became aware that the devil could not hurt me anymore. He could not keep me in locked in an invisible cage of anger, pain and hurt any longer.

    After reading the prayers in this book, my daughter Oralene, encouraged me to make them public by writing a book.

    I pray that whoever reads this book will break free from every lie and attack the devil sends their way. This book is a result of all of the prayers I prayed.

      A Word from the Author

      Please join the author in a prayer of agreement.

      I pray Father that You reveal Your Son, Jesus, to every unsaved loved one who does not know you as their Lord and Savior. Let your glory come upon them and fill us all with your peace, grace and presence. Lord I cry out to you to fill us with your precious Holy Spirit so that we may seek you with all of our heart, mind soul and body giving You glory in all things. In Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen.

      Before you begin to read and pray these prayers, stop a moment and invite the Holy Spirit into your heart so that He can fill it, and minister to you in your secret prayer closet.

      Say to Him, Spirit of the true and living God, speak to the Father for me. Reveal your Son Jesus as Lord and Savior of my life. Let me feel the presence of Your Holy Spirit to strengthen me and give me the peace I desperately need.

      As you pray these prayers and read the teachings in this book, I am confident God will bring you healing, comfort and reveal the secret, hidden things that are troubling your soul.

      Prophetic Commission

      Earlene listen to me. Tell the people to harken. The Lord has called you Earlene from the womb; from the bowels of your mother has He made mention of your name. Earlene, I have made your mouth like a sharp sword. In the shadow of my hand I hid you, Earlene. That is why the poison did not kill you, the bullet that passed by your head could not destroy you. Earlene, I was there with you all the time. I have made you a polished shaft. In my quiver I have hid you and said unto you, "You are my servant in whom I will be glorified."

      Many times Earlene you have spoken that your labor here was in vain. You have said, I have spent my strength for nothing. Yet surely My judgment is with you Lord, and my work with my God.

      Earlene, I formed you from the womb to be My servant, to bring all who would listen to Me. Even though some are not gathered, you will be glorified in the eyes of your Father and I will be your strength. Earlene it is a right thing that you should be My servant, to raise up the ones I have preserved. Earlene My daughter, I will also give you as a light unto the Gentiles that you may be My salvation unto the end of the Earth.

      Earlene I have heard you in an acceptable time. In your day of salvation I have helped you. I will preserve you Earlene, My daughter, and give you as a covenant for My people. You will say to the prisoners, I go forth to you who are in darkness. Show yourselves so that you may be established and inherit your destiny.

      Tell them Those who feed in My ways, their pastures shall be in all high places. They shall not hunger My daughter, nor thirst; neither the heat nor sun shall smite them. I will have mercy on them and will lead them to springs of water. Earlene, I will guide them.

      A Prisoner’s Prayer

      "Come to me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke on you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest to your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." (Matthew 11:28-30)

      No one knows the secrets or pain one holds inside. Often there are many unanswered questions and many painful thoughts trapped inside an aching heart. These need a way to be expressed but, too frequently a person is afraid to release the pressure inside their troubled mind.

      To whom do you talk? What do you say? Who will hear? Who would care? Are you afraid to open up and let go of what has been a weight, secretly holding you down? Everything wants to come out but there is no one with whom to share it. Consider Jesus. He cares!

      "… casting all your care on him; for he cares for you." (1 Peter 5:7)

      He has always been by your side, fighting your battles. Even when you don't feel Him there, He is there.

      Nicodemus was a ruler of the Jews who had questions inside that only Jesus could answer. Even though he was afraid, he found a way to seek the answers to his questions. He went to Jesus at night. (See John 3:1-2) It just may take some all-night praying to get the answers. Know this. Jesus is an on-time God. He is never late. The Lord has your answers too!

      Job had unanswered questions. He
