    Default Prayers Answered after 73 years

    Praising God for answered prayer for the salvation of my older brother Roger! Thanking my RR family for their prayers for Roger on the RR prayer chain. Although our family was raised in a Christian home, my older brother turned his back on the Church and the Lord and lived his life the way he wanted to live, leaving God in the background. My parents (now with the Lord) prayed everyday for his soul and many a night I would hear them praying for all of us kids on their knees before the Lord. My parents died not knowing when their prayers would be answered. When they passed away the rest of us siblings continued to pray for each other. My brother is a self made man and very successful in his business career...sometimes the hardest ones to see the need for Jesus in their lives. He went through 3 open heart surgeries which failed to bring him to his knees. However, recently he was diagnosed with terminal liver cancer and is facing death soon. This sudden shock and turn of events was the catalyst to turn his life around and today he is a Child of God and a different man completely overnight. He has accepted Jesus and repented of his sins and the transformation is astounding! I am praising God for saving him and for answered prayer! We serve an awesome God!! After 73 years of prayer...God was faithful and answered our prayers and my brother will be in Heaven due to God's wonderful gift of salvation and eternal life through Christ Jesus. We are praying now that his medical team at Stanford will start treatments that will buy him more time to prepare his family and be a witness to his children and grandchildren. We are blessed and praising God every day for His unfailing mercy and grace. Thank you Jesus!

    We contribute nothing to our salvation except the sin from which we need to be redeemed. – William Temple (English diplomat & author)

    In the next 4 years this is the only "change" I'm looking forward to...

    Please let this family have extra time so that the changes in Roger's life will definitely be noticed by his closest loved ones, and their hearts will be touched for the Lord.

    Your praise is a wonderful inspiration to keep praying for the lost, no matter how stubborn or rebellious they may be. Sharing your joy for your brother's salvation.
    Rom. 8:19 For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God.
    Rom. 8:28 God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.

    Default Encouraging News Today and More Answered Prayer

    Thank you all for your prayers and support! I thank God for my Rapture Ready family who care, understand and stand ready to pray for one another. God answered more prayers today as my brother got encouraging news from Stanford that the Oncologist is going to aggressively treat his cancer. In addition to this news, God also opened doors for tests today that he would have had to wait for until next week. He really thought they would send him home to die. My brother is experiencing God's wonderful hand upon his life and it's strenthening his faith. He has a very rare cancer which is in the portal vein in his liver. His liver is free of tumors and it has not spread to other organs. He starts aggressive Chemo next week to try to shrink the tumor out of the vein so they can operate. He was told his cancer is advanced (10cm) and prognosis was not good. This Chemo is an attempt to save his life or extend it but he understands the odds will be tough and through it all he's learning to trust the Lord each day. God is so good...all the time!

    Love to each of you and thank you for your prayers and support!
    Jeri
