I was just so distraught. And I shook my fist at God. That's the way I call it. I was angry. I said, how come he couldn't protect my son? And I remember asking God, I said, why my son? And I heard a still voice say, why my son? God promises in Joel 2, 28 to pour out His Spirit on all humanity. Welcome to Global Outpouring, where we contend for that promised outpouring. We equip for that outpouring so that we may engage in that very outpouring. I'm Philip Bus. And I'm Sharon Bus.
Welcome to the podcast today. We have a wonderful follow-up from last week's episode. Only this time we have with us Phyllis Cameron, and she is going to share testimonies of what the Lord has done in her life in terms of breaking through and contending in praise. Thank you so much for joining us today. We are so delighted that you have tuned in and we have a wonderful podcast ahead that you're going to really be blessed by and really gain some strength.
You're going to gain something that you can work with for contending, contending for the outpouring, contending for God's purposes in your life, contending for the things that He's put on your heart, the promises that He's given you, even in disappointments, you're going to find that He is there.
But before we get started, I want to encourage you, if you haven't already done so, to go to our website, globaloutpouring.net, and make sure that you have subscribed to our email list so that we can stay in touch with you.

We want to help equip you so that you can participate in this outpouring as it is growing, as it is coming from the Lord on all flesh. It's coming. It's coming. It's coming bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger. It's already here in some degree, but it's getting bigger. And we are contending for that.
And we're going to talk some more today about contending in praise with our guest, Phyllis Cameron. Phyllis, thank you so much for joining us. We're so grateful that you're with us. I am so blessed to be here with you to share what God has done through me in completing us. Yes. Amen. Amen. And we love having you with us at our conventions. We just had a convention recently and you were with us and you're an amazing musician. When did you start your musical training or your musical activity?
Well, I started when I was nine. In fact, okay, my landmark is when I was nine years old, I played Christ the Lord is Risen Today on Easter Sunday. Wow. Nine years old. Through all the tears and the wet keys, I was so shy. So shy. I was so shy. And it just bloomed into something that took me to schools and churches and concerts and all kinds of things all over the country. So you're an accomplished pianist. Yes. My training, actually I had a personal teacher.
From there I went to Southern Connecticut State University. I majored in special education, but my minor was music. But then when I came to Michigan, I studied at both piano and organ at Tyndale College and Wayne State University. And I got scholarships. And so being trained first in church and then as a classical musician. So I go through all of the box and all of the music that we had to.
And so at Tyndale College, which is a Christian college, I studied music as I got a major in piano performance. So that was sound. And that opened up a lot of doors, being able to read music as well as being able to pick up music by ear and write music. Amen. And you play a mean organ too. That's a Pentecostal church. Yes, there's a certain sound that I love. I love it when you just cut loose and bring that sound. I haven't really cut loose yet. You give me the okay. I know.
I feel like you've been holding back on us. I really want you to cut loose next time. And there is a next time. Let's just talk about it. We are planning to have our convention 2025, which will actually be our 50th gathering, our 50th annual gathering. And that's very significant. It's like a Jubilee. And I had someone tell me recently and I kind of looked it up and it seems that there are at least some scholars who interpret the, what do they call it? The Essene calendar.
The Essene are the people that were in the community that created the Dead Sea Scrolls. And they had their own calendar that is very unique. And according to their calendar and according to the scholars who are studying their calendar, I'm not saying that this is that for sure, but there is some discussion that 2025 brings the beginning of the last Jubilee. Oh, wow. So that's pretty interesting. Very, very, very interesting.
So anyway, we're planning to have this convention May 22nd through 25th in St. Louis. We're still working on exactly where it's going to be, but it'll be in the vicinity as far as we know, it will be in the vicinity of the airport in St. Louis. So we're hoping that everyone is going to get on board and join us for this. So if you've never attended any of our events, this is going to be an easier one for you to get to.
And we expect that Phyllis will be there and she's going to cut loose and really, really give us who she is in the Keys. I know that you're going to an event in Philadelphia soon. And can you just tell us just a little bit about that? Because I was intrigued when you were telling us about it when you were with us. Well, yes, it's called the Convention of Gospel Choirs and Choruses. The website is National Convention of Gospel Choirs and Choruses, NCCGC.
And they're in their 90th some odd year and it originated by the man who wrote Precious Lord, Take My Hand, Thomas Dorsey. And it's not the same as Tommy Dorsey of the big band. No, no. It's somebody else. This is Thomas Dorsey, the African American man from Chicago. Okay. And he used to be a jazz blues man. And his story is that what happened, he got the message that his wife had died and his child in travel. And that's how that song was birthed.
So when I was a teenager, I was playing in churches and we would go to a convention every year that was held. And this was African American. It started out that way. Churches, gospel music. I mean, a lot of the gospel music we hear from the, you know, Wynons and all that, there's so many names now. It originated from there. And we would write songs all week long. We would bring songs and we would write them. And people would come from different states and we would rehearse.
And there were also times that we would have ministers speaking, teaching soloist bureaus, children ministry, and youth. And then on Friday night, we would have this huge concert and it got so large that we had to have it in the largest hotels. In fact, it's still that way today. Okay. So the first week in August is when this will be convening in Philadelphia and they go from state to state.
In fact, my son, who I'll talk about later, there's a video that they show on television every year around black history time called Say Amen Somebody. It is the story of Thomas Dorsey and my son, who I'll talk about later, there's a part there where he's only, I think about two or three years old and he was always a drummer that he was playing drums at too.
And he came up to Thomas Dorsey and Thomas Dorsey and the lady that worked with him, they were talking to him and I captured, it's on video now. It's all on video. Sweet. Yeah. So that's what we're planning to go. Yes. Beautiful. Beautiful. So while we're discussing this, you mentioned something about a large choir that you were conducting. How large was that choir? Well, there was a song that I wrote.
Okay, the choir at that particular time, now things have changed a lot and I think the choir is down to like three to 500 people. Down to? Yes. Yeah, because they held it in Detroit and I was here in Detroit and the choir was only about 350, but they had different choirs. They had choirs, there were youth choirs, mass choirs. So I wrote a song, 82, called Promises. It's on sheet music. People have used it from London, England, because it's traveled now in the islands.
And the name of that song is called Promises. And actually that's the prophetic word that God gave me, not knowing what I was going to face later. Oh, wow. That word, Promises, so we write the sheet music out and then we distribute and people would buy it. I think that at that time my song, Promises, was a dollar for the sheet music. Yeah, back in the day when sheet music was inexpensive. Exactly.
So, you know, everybody bought it because they were becoming a part of the workshop and they wanted to sing in the choir and we taught it. So that particular choir on that Friday night, and they would do what they call march in. They would play music and they would march in and fill up that whole front of the hotel. And that night it was 800 voices. And it was so many of them, I had to conduct it on top of a ladder. So I had to step up a ladder. Yeah, it was a sight to see.
So now Dr. Gentry is the president of the National Convention of Gospel Choirs and Choruses. And before her, it was Bishop Kenneth Moles, whom people know in African American churches, wrote the song called the Yes Anthem. Not the yes, yes, yes, yes. And then they were going to this praise, praise, praise. And so he took it over for many years and he and I worked together in Connecticut. And then before him was Thomas Dorsey, who was the founder of the convention. Still going on, very strong.
They'll be there from all over the world now. Just in America, they've come from all over. Yes. Wow. Shaking the rafters. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Remember, that's what praise does from what we talked about last week in the last episode. Praise cuts through the darkness. Praise drills holes in that dark atmosphere between us and heaven that's trying to keep the glory from coming down. And when we get our praise going up, it brings the glory down. Yes, it does. Hallelujah. Yes, it does.
So you have alluded to it, but let's go there right now about how you had a tragedy in your life and the Lord gave you a key. So can you just tell us what happened and how long ago was this? Well, actually, my son was born and by time he was nine months old, he was going into the hospital for asthma. By time he was five years old in Children's Hospital in Michigan, they had said by time he was five years old, he had 100 hospitalizations. Oh my goodness.
Not only 100 hospitalizations, I think by the time he was 13, he had been intubated 13 times. Oh my goodness. Atmos, he's on life support. In fact, one of the life supports was the Lord had made a promise to me that he would not die of asthma. I stood on that word and I would pray. So that's what developed my prayer ministry or life because I would be in McDonald Houses, Ronald McDonald Houses.
In fact, he stayed in Philadelphia in Children's Hospital for a year, in Denver Hospital for a year, the University of Michigan for a year. So I would travel and he would be on life support trying to get to the root of it, which I know now this was spiritual. That was a spiritual attack against him. Wow. And what was his name? Jermaine. Jermaine. Jermaine was also my drummer.
When I would travel and play, he was so little because he had been pumped with so many steroids from having asthma attacks. It stunted his growth, the mess with his bones, the mess with his eyes. But he had so much joy and he would play those drums and people would shout, talking about praise. He was the one would bring the praise in. Wow. So Jermaine was my firstborn. I have three other sons. They're doing very well in life, but Jermaine was my firstborn.
And he had asthma that bad that they just tried everything with him. And so for years I prayed. And so it was in 2004, he was attending a church with me playing drums. In fact, I remember we went to this church and he received the baptism of the Holy Spirit with speaking in tongues. And not only that, but he was prophesying to me. I was just sharing the word about how the last thing he spoke to me was through Luke 18. He said, Mom, be like the unrighteous judge.
And the lady that kept on bugging him never stopped praying until he avenged his elect. And he was just preaching to me. It was during that time in 2004, he says, I want to have my own apartment. And he left for me and he went- How old was he? Yeah, how old was he? Okay. So he was 27. Oh, okay.
Okay. So I jumped to make the story quick because all the hospitalizations and things, in fact, the Detroit newspaper did a story on him when he was in Philadelphia in the hospital, front page color newspaper, reporters came to me and they said, how is he surviving this? And I told him it was prayer. Yeah. 13 times on life support. And I have this, a newspaper article on it still with me.
Wow. So I mean, in fact, someone came from Australia and did an audio interview with me when they saw the story. So one time Jermaine literally had a, he was not breathing and we were at the elevator and the elevator wouldn't come down and they're pumping with a hand pump. They're pumping to try to keep the air going in him. So they're running upstairs to where they had better facility, pumping air in him. Oh Lord. So they said, listen, they're working on him in the room.
They came out and told me he's gone, let him go. I said, I busted through there and I laid on him and I said, no, God told me, he promised me he would not die of asthma. Wow. I must tell this story because I think it's very important. People hear this. Yes. And so I prayed for him and I prayed for him and my husband was there at the time. And then all of a sudden Jermaine, he was about 12. He jumped back to us and some of the nurses were so scared they ran out the room.
When he came to, he said, mom, that boy was there real weak. And I remember reading something when people come back, you have to give them water and give them something to eat. I remember that he was 12 years old. And I said, so they did that. And I said, Jermaine, what are you talking about? He said, that boy, well see a boy around the corner from our home in Detroit had got shot and killed.
And he said, people, Jermaine was saying people were falling, scratching and screaming in this place where he saw. And that boy was there and the boy told him when he was out, go tell my mother, don't come here. For years, now he was 12, even up until he was in his 20s. I said, Jermaine, did you go back and tell the boy about the vision or whatever you saw when you was gone, that you saw people falling, scratching and screaming and the boy told you to tell his mother, don't come here?
I shared this in my testimonies, especially with children, young people who think it's glamorous to be hanging out. And I remember this one child asked me in a classroom, because I was talking about in a Christian school that I was teaching at, oh, what about the scratching? What about the scratching? What does that mean? And I didn't know at first, I went home and the Lord opened up a word that showed me about a worm that does not die.
I came back and told them, because I could talk to Christian children like that. But this was some of the experiences I had. So in 2004, he said, Mom, I want to go back and get my own apartment. And there was in the street where he was living, there was some kind of ruckus with somebody was in disagreement with somebody else. He didn't even know them. These people came by and shot up like a drive by shooting and shot five people out of the five people. He was one of the three that died.
Wow. Wow. It was a long road to go through the court system. I was telling Sister Sharon and Brother Philip about what happened when I went to two of the court cases, how God's hand was in all of it. So he passed June 29th, 2004. In fact, it was just a couple of days after I went to see him in the hospital, because he had an asthma attack and he was supposed to be at a concert with me. I was doing a concert with two choirs, praise and worship. And he was supposed to play, but he didn't show.
And I went to go see him and I anointed him, prayed for him. That was on a Sunday, yeah, because it was right after the service. Monday, I got this call in the middle of the night. Now at first, it was such a shock because I couldn't understand after all I went through to keep him alive, how can this happen? All of the near death experiences, all the traveling, all the... I remember getting one of his hospital bills. I just looked at it. One was $100,000. I said, I can't pay this.
I just put it down. All the money that was spent to keep him alive and for that to happen. Now through all of it, I was praying, I was leading praise and worship in churches and I was teaching and God was able to sustain me through it. But sometimes you don't realize how much God is keeping you and you're operating on another level of... When I look back at it, I said, that wasn't even natural, all that travel. And I had two other children as well.
So when he passed, the news came to my house because it was such a big story in the city. And so it was a newspaper and the funeral was just amazing because I knew so many churches in the area and the church that I did the concert with, they came and they sang. People were praising God. Oh my God. It was actually one big praise celebration. One of the things I told them was, I heard the spirit of God say, I have him. Hallelujah. I got him. And all that mattered was that God had his soul.
The flesh didn't matter. Plus he was suffering so much. In fact, the night he was passing, my son, Philip and I was going to get him to bring him to another doctor's appointment because they thought they saw some kind of cancer. He had weakened, his bones were weak from so much steroids and he kept breaking his bones. His eyes were popping. He was so small. He looked like the size of a maybe six-year-old from being hospitalized so much. But you talk about with an infectious laugh.
I mean, anybody that was around him. So he drew a lot of people, a lot of young people. In fact, I do want to share this and Sister Sharon, you can tell me when to move on from this, but I had a dream and he was right there with me when I had the dream. The dream was about a month. In the dream was a huge auditorium and all these young people were there. And there was a casket in the front of, I believe it was a church. And the people would run down to the casket and touch it and run back.
Then a newspaper reporter came up to me and said, what do you think about this? Well, I actually didn't know because I didn't see the person in the casket. That was my son because that's exactly what happened. I told people about the dream. They say, yeah, but I didn't see the person in the casket. And the interviewer was asking me about, what do you think about all these young people?
And there were a lot of young people because he affected so many young people in churches with playing drums, with his beautiful personality. I was very, very angry and very distraught and literally almost out of my mind. All I told them, I just want you to please just bring me back to Connecticut. That's where I'm originally from. To the point I almost forgot about my youngest son, almost left him at the hospital after I viewed his body. I was just so distraught and I shook my fist at God.
That's the way I call it. I was angry. I said, how come you couldn't protect my son? And I remember asking God, I said, why my son? And I heard a still voice say, why my son? I'll never forget that because that stopped me for a few days of grieving because it turned my attention. So that was what happened with Jermaine. I know he's with the Lord. I know without a doubt. He accepted the Lord Jesus. He was filled with the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
The Lord allowed him to come and stay with me without being sick or anything like that for a few months. And then when he left, this thing happened. And the Lord said, I have it. So I asked God, I said, what am I going to do now? What am I going to do? I had no strength. And it reminded me of the scripture he gave me in Psalms 137. In Psalms 137, I felt just like these that were in captivity. Psalms 136, by the rivers of Babylon, there we set ye we wept when we remembered Zion.
I felt like I was in Babylon. In fact, people were so hurt by it. They didn't know what to say. And a lot of people just left me alone. They didn't call. It was just, it was weird. No one called me. No one came. They kept and dropped things at my doorstep, but I was totally alone. I don't know why people after the big funeral and all the people come, but then I think they just didn't know what to say. I think that's what it is. People have no idea. We heard that on a...
So then it says, by the rivers of Babylon there we set yet we wept when we remembered Zion. We hung up our harps upon the willows in the midst of it. There those who carried us away captive. And that's just the way I felt like I was captive in this. In fact, I saw a bubble around me. I believe it was a protective bubble when I was at the funeral. People wouldn't come past a certain place with me. They would stand afar and they'd say, I'm sorry. It's like... And I said, Lord, what was that?
And he says, like, if they would come to you and hug you, their grief would be transferred to you. So I just kept you like in this bubble. That's interesting. And so it says in verse three, for there those who carried us away captive asked of us a song and those who plundered us requested mirth, saying, come on, sing us one of those Zion songs. But verse four said, how shall we sing the Lord's song in a foreign land? And that's the way I felt like it. Those Zion songs.
Yeah. How can we sing Zion songs in a strange or foreign land? And that's where I felt this land, I had never visited this kind of thing before. Yes, my father passed, but this was something different. And I felt like I was in captivity. So that question came to me. So what are you going to do now? You're going to hang up your harp? You're going to stop playing and worshiping? And I said, Lord, how can I sing Zion songs in this strange land? So I said, Lord, what shall I do?
He said, I want you to sing. I want you to praise. Where I was living at, there was a clubhouse and the lady opened it up to me that I was able to go there, bring my keyboard. And being a music teacher, I had all these different instruments, recorders, little drums and sticks. I got the children starting first with the children in the neighborhood. And I would just worship and praise God until I threw my tears several months. I didn't work for three years. I just couldn't. I just couldn't.
It was interesting because I was also minister of music at a church. They released me. I was music teacher at a Christian school. They let me go. It was just me, the Lord, my little worshipers. And we just praised God until he brought other people. And we just worshiped. And we just, that's what healed me. That's what kept me that I'm able to exist today because I really did not want to live. I had been through so much for 27 years.
He was 27 years old from the time he was born for 27 years, 100 times by time he was five, 13 life supports. Philadelphia, Denver, Connecticut, Michigan, living in the hospital to travel. Okay. I can give an IV. I can give EpiPens, machines. Okay. Because I had been dealing with it so much. So I believe now as I sat back and looked at it, I said, Lord, you isolated me and you took care of me yourself. And so in fact, someone spoke that to me.
He said, the Lord will literally take care of you himself. And he did send this one woman whom I'm ever indebted to. She came to me. She drove me to get groceries. She came and she sat down and I'm still with her today. She just was there for me because she can see that look in my eye, like I don't want to do anything. She stuck with me, Kay Sousa. I have to say her name because she's going to be celebrating with me with my birthday.
But there were others that were dropped by occasionally, but for the most part, the Lord just kept me to himself until we gathered for praise. And when we pray, I pray that gave glory to God and just glorified his name. The main thing was I knew that God had him. That was the only reason I could praise him. And I said, Lord, not only do you have him, but no more suffering. No more being hooked up to IVs.
No more me going up in the middle of the night when he's two and three and four years old and see blood coming all because the IV he pulled out or somebody didn't take. I said, no more of that. No more. Because I know for a fact there is life after this. So when I resolve with that, no more suffering, God has got his soul and that's all that matters. And you're going to give him a new body, a new body, and you promise me I'm going to see him again. You promised me. And I know that for a fact.
So that was my story. There's a whole lot more with it, but that was my story of much contending prior to his death in prayer. People would pray because they knew churches, how sick he would be. They would be in prayer with me. Okay. Take an authority over this asthma. And I'm telling you, the thing that this asthma, I found that a lot of it comes from the spirit of fear. And now I'm able to identify it when I see it in children or adults.
Okay. And I can go to the root and pray over it because I know, okay, where it's going to weak lungs. And so I gained a lot of experience going through that with him. And I thank God. I thank God now that I have now been able to contend in that area and identify with those who have experienced the death of a loved one, especially when you've been living with them for years, trying to bring them to recovery and then losing the child. I have many young mothers and mothers that have lost children.
And I've had to minister to them. Yes. And you could minister out of your experience. You know, so many times we don't see it while we're going through it. But once we get to the other side of whatever it is that God takes us through, it gives us authority to help others. Absolutely. So you're contending in prayer. You're contending in praise and worship. Really it brought life back to you. When your son died, part of you died. Oh yeah. And not only me, but my other sons.
Even to this day, something happened just the other day with one of my sons. He just went back there and he never got a chance to grieve. And he sobbed. I mean, he sobbed. I had to hold him and he's like a grown man. They still love their brother. Absolutely. And he just grieved. I said, come on, get it out, get it out. Because you were so young. You don't remember. But this was Michael. He would draw pictures of him playing drums, Jermaine playing drums. And he would talk about his brother.
Even on the day, a year later that he passed, we were in California going to see my other son become a Marine drill instructor. And we were in the airport. And around the time he passed, this sounds unusual, but I didn't want to travel on that day. June 29th, there have been times when I was someplace and I just had to go home. I didn't want to be around people. Or his birthday was October 20th. I didn't want to.
I had broken down in school, had to go to talk to the principal and say, I gotta go. I've overcome all of that. But on this day, little Michael must be about five, six years old. He must have been going on six because it was a year later. On the day that he got shot, he says, mommy, I smell Jermaine. Do you smell Jermaine? Oh, that's so sweet. It was on June 29th and we were in the airport. And Francisco leaving, I'm saying, oh my, his spirit was so strong. Oh my God. It was so strong.
I know that people have shared how their loved ones have come leaving their death. But yes, we've had several of those experiences. Beautiful. You know, Dean Braxton talks about how we grieve because we were never meant to be separated. Yes. You know, it's sin that has caused death. And you know, there wasn't any death before sin. So you know, it's just part of this broken planet and broken mankind that causes grief. It causes death. Sin causes death. We know that from the scripture.
And death causes grief. And we were never meant to have death. We were never meant to have sin rule. Thank God for Jesus Christ who redeems us and makes it possible for us to be reunited forever. Amen. Hallelujah. Thank you. We have all of heaven ahead of us, all of eternity ahead of us, and God has purposes for us for all of eternity.
So I'm just convinced that this life is like a boot camp and somehow preparation for something that's going to take place in our cooperation with the Lord for eternity. And the relationships that we build here are for eternity. Amen. Amen. So you know, Jermaine will be accompanying you on the worship team in heaven. Oh, no doubt. Yes, yes, yes. And someone had sent me a prophetic letter and gave it to me at the funeral that they saw Jermaine. I forgot about this.
A young lady, she's very prophetic. She gave me a letter I still hold today. She said that Jermaine is playing drums in heaven that he had already passed. And the spirit of Jermaine will come into Michael and he will be playing drums. And he does. Boy, you haven't really heard Michael play. Michael plays with me on Sunday. And Michael said that he was thinking about moving to another place that passed it.
I thought he was going to have a heart attack because Michael builds up that service with those drums, those beats. Yes. Wow. The scripture says, except a grain of wheat fall on the ground and die. I didn't understand, but I see the fruit. I see the fruit of that life, what it has brought forth, even in me.
Yeah. Well, it takes you into that kind of experience where you have such pain and such grief, takes you into a new place in God, a deeper place, a place where you have to meet him at a deeper level in order to survive. Well, you said it, in order to survive, because nobody else could help you. No one's words could soothe you. I didn't take any medication or anything like that. I just went, as they say, cold turkey. Some people said, why don't you go to the doctors and get something?
I said, I couldn't even respond to them. I just wanted to go home. Like you said, it was the spirit of God that allowed me to survive that because I had met some other young women that they are totally incapacitated when their child was lost, totally. So would you pray for our listeners? And listener, if you know someone who is going through grief like this, would you share this? Would you please share this with the people who need to hear this?
Because this testimony of overcoming and contending through praise to be able to overcome and break through, this can help somebody else. And maybe you listener are one of those people that needed to hear this. So Sister Phyllis, would you please pray for our listeners and pray for those that they know and love as they're going through things? So maybe the thing that you're going through isn't the death of a loved one, but maybe you're going through something that is very difficult.
Maybe you've been deeply wounded. Maybe you've been traumatized by something. These will bring you to a place of breakthrough because you are dealing with, you are connecting with the source of life. You're connecting with the one who gave you life in the first place. And as you praise him, it allows his grace and his glory and his presence to come into you and bring that healing. So would you please pray for our listeners? Father, we just thank you. And we praise you and we glorify your name.
For you truly are wonderful. Father, I thank you for your loving kindness this morning or this afternoon or whenever someone is listening to this broadcast. Father, we want to lift up your name and to say for thine, oh God, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the dominion all belongs to you, Father. We thank you, oh God, hallelujah. For we thank you, Lord Jesus, for your great mercy to all that we're suffering through right now. We thank you for your great love right now.
Father, I pray in the name of Jesus that you would extend out your hands of comfort to those that are experiencing the pain that goes so deep. There's not even any words. You just sit in the place and you're just there, but you just can't even connect with anyone because it's too deep, the suffering. But Father, you, oh God, as we've been reading here recently, the deep calls unto deep.
Yes. Oh God, the deepness of the pain that we might be suffering will call quite out to the deepness of your love. Because your love us so much, Father, that we know it right well. We know despite what we're going through, it was what we are going through, that Father, one thing that does not fail is your love. And I pray in the name of Jesus that you would, oh God, pour out your love right now.
Send the angels of love and just put like a warm blanket, like I experienced you doing for me around those that are experiencing tragedy, experiencing pain, experiencing the loss of a loved one, experiencing the loss of income, and they don't know what they're going to do. But Father, you see it, oh God, and I pray, Lord, that you would bring comfort and that you would bring, oh God, that still small voice to give them what to do. Yes. To hear your voice. Yes, Lord. Your Father. Of direction.
Of voice. Yes, Lord. Like you've spoken to me so many times, there's a voice in the midst of the pain that we can hear that will give us comfort to just rest in you. I thank you, Lord God, for the spirit of rest even today. You said, come unto me, all ye that labor and have elated, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Thank you, Jesus. And learn of me. So Father, I thank you today, Lord, that you would drive them to your word.
Father, I pray that you'd raise up those that have physical hands of comfort to meet the needs of those, your children, that can go to homes and go to people that are grieving or going through something and be your angels of light to them today. In Jesus' name, we thank you how you're going to deliver us through all this, out of captivity, out of Babylon, and we're going to sing Zion's songs of praise. And we thank you for that. In Jesus' name, amen.
