Spiritual Attacks and Spiritual Warfare

----We Need Your Prayers!

Gary Sweeten

Dear Friends,

This has been a very tough year in many ways. As Christians in a vital ministry we fully expect to have challenges, difficulties and tribulations. But it seems that our ministry, Sweeten Life Systems and several of our board members have faced uncommon difficulties.

1.     I received a call from Russia last night and heard of the physical and spiritual challenges of Galina, her family and her team. She has been faced with many barriers to communicating with us including an electric blackout in the entire region of Moscow where she lives. That made it impossible to be on Skype with us at the board meeting.   PRAY

2.     Illnesses of other board members and their families. Rick Kalal and his family have moved to Kansas City where Lorraine heads a wonderful ministry. Rick has suffered from extremely serious kidney failure and needs a transplant. PRAY

3.     Another board member has faced stiff headwinds in his profession with great disappointment and financial pressures. PRAY

4.     The family of a board member is beset with extreme emotional and spiritual attacks on family members. This makes it very hard to take the ministry forward. PRAY

5.     A Pastor’s family member had a very serious accident and was nearly killed. Recuperation will be long. PRAY

6.     A Pastor’s church family has experienced great trauma. PRAY

7.     A Pastor’s family members are facing severe medical issues. PRAY

8.     Cancer surgery for another board member. PRAY

9.     Family members with chronic illnesses are draining the family of time and energy. PRAY

10.   The finances of SLS have been severely strained even as our impact is growing. Doors are opening internationally and locally with great potential to equip people to better respond to the new health care laws. PRAY

Our fight is not with the people but with the animating spiritual forces that are in full attack mode. Pray to disarm them!
