Please forgive me for the rushed tone of this e-mail. Last night Carlene and I were praying for the missing climbers. All night long I wrestled with waking up and thinking and praying that these three would be found. This morning I felt as if the Lord in spoke to me concerning this, so I crafted a prayer and would like you to join me with the spirit of agreement for a breakthrough.
Once again Oregon is in the spotlight both nationally and internationally as a group of out-of-state visitors who were well-equipped with technology such as cell phones and computer generated maps and some wilderness experience are now lost. In the case of the Kim family, many attempts to trace their route and use the cell phones signal and other rescue methods proved fruitful in the case of James Kim's family, but searchers were unable to find James in time.
These three climbers from Texas were also apparently familiar with mountain climbing, but are now lost. It seems to me that technology such as cell phones, nasty weather, timing the... all these factors played a part in both of these incidents. Undoubtedly both incidences contained presumptions on the part of rescuers as well as those that needed rescuing.
Here is my crafted (rough) prayer:
Lord we thank you for the church in Oregon. We believe you have blessed the people of this state with a mandate to pray and worship with great confidence, that you and you alone are the territorial presence and power that reigns over all other gods. You promised that your glory and your good news would be with us. The whole earth is filled with your glory. Therefore, we repent for the sins of presumption. We place all assumptions in you. We ask for a spirit of wisdom and revelation to be given to those in command of the search parties coming from the north and the south to supernaturally discern where these climbers are located. We ask for a break in the weather and cooperation with all those that you have entrusted and given the authority to find these men.
We thank you for your grace and your goodness displayed over Oregon. We worship you.
AMEN!!!
