The Power of Global Prayer
By Mary Fox Murphy
Prayer changes things! Every praying Christian knows this is an
absolute fact. However, with the help of technology, prayer, itself, is
changing. Since the advent of rapid communication delivery systems,
prayer has entered a unified, worldwide dimension. E-mail and fax
capabilities make it possible to get prayer requests around the world
immediately. Thousands of intercessors can be praying for a critical
situation within a half hour's time. When thousands or perhaps
millions, networked in worldwide prayer, begin to beseech God for a
critical, personal difficulty, a no-hope condition, or an international
crisis, miracles begin to happen. Such was the case for Rosalie Willis
from Post Falls, Idaho.
On January 15, 1998, Rosalie was at home concentrating on the
Christian Conference she was planning to attend in Yakima, Washington
the next day. Her mind was mulling over what to take and other things
in preparation for the trip. Suddenly, she saw bright lights in the
line of vision of her left eye. The lights were covered with a paisley
pattern. A sickening weakness seized her body but she managed to get to
her bed and rested there for over an hour. Feeling that she had,
somewhat, recovered from this strange occurrence, Rosalie continued to
get ready for the conference. Not much thought was given to the eerie,
bright lights she had seen, for her mind was on the meeting.
Upon returning to her home in Post Falls, following the conference,
she had a message on her answering machine asking her to come to Cove,
Oregon for the rest of the week. This request concerned her ministry,
A Company of Women, of which she is President and Founder. Knowing that
the trip to Cove, Oregon was important to her and to the ministry, she
made the five-hour trip alone by car. The return trip home came a few
days later as she drove the uneventful trip at night. She later
realized the protective covering of the Lord over her and thanked Him
for protecting her during that trip.
