In December of 2009, just six short months after Rodney and I got married, I went to an anointing service at our church (In the Light Ministries) in Lancaster City.
I was first prayed over and anointed by Pastor Phil and his wife Yvonne and then was also prayed for by another elder, Sandra. I thought it was interesting that both Pastor Phil and Sandra prayed almost the exact same prayer over me that evening. Especially since they were standing in two different places upfront and had no way of hearing each other as they each prayed. It definitely got my attention and I sensed that the words spoken were important and directly from the heart of the Lord.
Their prayers included the following: "GO FORTH IN BOLDNESS to advance against the kingdom of darkness with your husband. That there would be NO FEAR and that you may be sensitive to God's whisper. May you pour out God's blessing on others as he has blessed you. May God continue to bring those to you who are weak. May you SHAKE THE GATES OF DARKNESS. May you be a LIGHT and blessing to your family. May you be FULL OF COURAGE. God loves you."
I had no idea just how POWERFUL and meaningful that prayer would become for Rodney and I over the next six months........
