We need to pray him through this latest crisis

I really need to make an appeal to all the prayer warriors out there. Mike lost 10 pounds last week and is down to 156. I don't know what to do anymore. Starting tonight, we have increase his lipids to 2 bottles a day - that equates to 12 hours of IV's a day now. But he has got to develop an appetite for anything.

I read another great book today and there was one quote in it that applies to what is going on here. This preacher was involved in a horrible accident and was dead for 90 minutes. Another preacher was behind the accident and was told by God to go and pray. He prayed for the preacher and he came back to life. However, the preacher in the accident had to deal with severe pain and a horrible healing process. At the depths of the crisis, the preacher didn't want to live anymore. He couldn't do it anymore. The Christian that was talking to him said, " You don't have to do anything. We will just pray you through this." He called all the prayer warriors and people prayed all night for him and God answered there prayer and he made it through the crisis.

That is what Mike needs right now. We need to pray him through this new crisis. Will you please join me and ask God to develop a hunger inside of Mike for food and nourishment and that Satan release the hold he seems to have on it in the Name of Jesus. It is important and becoming very crucial.

Praises:
IV's that can sustain him
Insurance that pays for the IV's. I think I heard they run around $1,000 a day
Sisters that come over and help
New friends and a some girl time at Pokeno
