Brandy Holmes is a women on Louisiana’s death row for the 2003 killing of a minister.  In the letter she wrote to me she  prayed that I am surrounded within the wings of angels.  Psalms 91:Verse 11 says- For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. Brandy says she writes for Pastor  Beth’s Moore’s Newsletter. She is praying to get her death sentence reduced to a life sentence. Please help fund her account with a few dollars so she can purchase envelopes, stamps and pad paper as she has no family concerned about her well being.

In the Bible we read about the Jabaz a son birthed to a woman. She names him “pain”  after conceiving him in pain. He is a man with a pitiful past and no hope for a future. He is a man who struggles to find meaning and significance in life. He is a man who is desperate to be accepted by his fellow man. But most of all, he is a man who craves a relationship with God. Brandy like Jabaz, was named by a mother who loved to drink Brandy. Her mother an alcoholic conceived Brandy in sickness. Brandy was born with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and her mother was proud to name her Brandy and thus she became a woman with a pitiful past..

In the Bible, we find The Prayer of Jabez 1 Chronicles 4 v 9-10
9 Jabez was more honorable than his brothers, and his mother named him Jabez saying, “Because I bore him with pain.” 10 Now Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, “Oh that You would bless me indeed and enlarge my border, and that Your hand might be with me, and that You would keep me from harm that it may not pain me!” And God granted him what he requested.  Lets pray for Brandy that the hand of the Lord might be with her and that He will keep her from harm. Let’s pray for God to bless her and have mercy on her soul. She has confessed being a Christian and we are  praying for a reversal of  every curse on her life. Thee God of redemption can and will make her a blessing. He is the God of breakthroughs.

 

On my facebook page you will see The Assumption of the Virgin by Francesco Botticini from he National Gallery London, which shows three hierarchies and nine orders of angels, each with different characteristics. I am asking the Lord to dispatch  ministering angels to address every situation concerning Brandy.

I am decreeing  Acts 5:19 – But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said… and the angel of the Lord will say concerning Brandy, that he is the God of second chances and if she comes to Him repenting and believing that he will surely address her case. I am telling the devil to take your hands off of Brandy Holmes, she has claimed Christ as her Lord and Savior. She has been redeemed. And the Lord says in  Matthew 4:11 – Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him. Lord please send your angels to minister to Brandy because we at Praying Without Ceasing and others who are reading this blog will not cease to cry out against injustices. Yes, it is wrong to murder, but it is also wrong to murder to prove that murdering is wrong. Lord, I am praying Psalms 34:7  Lord, let —- The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

Colossians 1:16 says16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: Heavenly father we are asking you to send angels from the throne realm as  hey are living symbols of your justice and authority. According to the New Testament, these high celestial beings are among those Orders at  the service of Chris, since t Thrones are known in scripture as the bringers of justice Lord we are Asking, Seeking and Knocking on behalf of Brandy Holmes on Louisiana’s death row. Lord visit her and let her know all is well.

This is the official website. It is under development at the moment. However, in the future you will be able to read letters and view art work from the women on death row. Also when possible I will include slide show of conferences and events that address the death penalty and death row.

In everyone’s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.

Luke 6:38 says: ” Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”

We stand in need of  evangelistic  materials to support the ministry of  salvation based correspondence to women on death row. Presently, it would be helpful for us to obtain christian tracts, bibles, scripture cards, stationary, envelopes and stamps needed to communicate with these women on a bi month basis. In addition, we would like to spread the word through advertizing and create community and global awareness about the plight of the women on death row while educating the public about how to lobby against proponents of the death penalty. Advocating  by creating awareness  through workshops and media is one of our goals. In addition, we intend to plan for and sponsoring intercessory prayer gatherings and to participate in conferences and other events geared to compelling others to champion the redemption and salvation women on death row.

You can find out more about us on our Facebook page:

The request is not a large one. Partner with the Lord to get this work accomplished of sending salvation cards and reconciling these women to Christ. Help us to spread the Gospel.

Generated Curses that Carry over

Exodus 34:6-7 (NIV) And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, “The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation.”

 

Just like physical buildings, the totality of our lives and destinies is being built day by day by our actions and inaction and also by the actions and inaction of those who have generated you. Wisdom requires therefore that we pay great attention to the foundations upon which we build our lives and destinies, especially what transitions from one generation to the next—because there is a carryover

Kings 4 v 1-7 Provides us with a POWERFUL  story about the wife of a dead Prophet who tells Prophet Elisha that her two sons will be taken as bond servants to satisfy a debt that her dead husband owed. Think about this —Here is a case where the children of the debtor would be required to be slaves to pay the price for something they had no knowledge of and had no responsible for— they needed a miracle. (read the story of the widow’s oil below).

This is the case for many of the women on death row. Many have inherited a faulty foundation from those who have generated them and stand in need of a prophetic miracle.  There may be forces at work in there lives that have their origins in previous generations. The bible says If the foundation is destroyed what can the righteous do? If the foundation of the life of a man is faulty, it is unlikely that he would live a fulfilled life let alone finding and fulfilling the purpose of God.

I pray right now that God sends a miracle to the foundation of every woman on death row. Many have been systematically victimized and suffer from a lifetime of molestation, incest, sexual abuse and domestic violence. Several have been slaves victims of people who dominated them and cause them to commit crimes. I am praying that every generated cursed carried over through blood lines, family curses and abuse be cancelled now in the name of Jesus. I am praying for  Elisha’s to rise up to come  to their aid. I pray for a prophetic miracle and an end to the death penalty in the mighty name of Jesus.

2 Kings 4 : 1-7

The wife of a man from the company of the prophets cried out to Elisha, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that he revered the Lord. But now his creditor is coming to take my two boys as his slaves.”Elisha replied to her, “How can I help you? Tell me, what do you have in your house?” “Your servant has nothing there at all,” she said, “except a small jar of olive oil.”Elisha said, “Go around and ask all your neighbors for empty jars. Don’t ask for just a few. Then go inside and shut the door behind you and your sons. Pour oil into all the jars, and as each is filled, put it to one side.”She left him and shut the door behind her and her sons. They brought the jars to her and she kept pouring. When all the jars were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another one.”But he replied, “There is not a jar left.” Then the oil stopped flowing.She went and told the man of God, and he said, “Go, sell the oil and pay your debts. You and your sons can live on what is left.”
