One Friday, we received a prayer request at Prayer Clinic Online from a person in our church. As usual, our focus is not on the prayer request or the person, but on Papa God, and as He did not immediately make it clear to me how to pray for this very serious need, I held off. Saturday is always a busy family day, so I did not get to the prayer request over the weekend.

On Sunday, this person came up to us and thanked us for praying for them, although in truth we had not started yet. I did not ask them how they were doing, as obviously from the prayer request we had received, the situation was pretty terrible. Yet I couldn’t help noticing how radiant, how peaceful they looked — by gosh, they were GLOWING! Still, I did not ask for an update, as I was sure the situation could not possibly have changed yet.

Finally, on Monday, I had time to sit quietly and wait on God and ask Him to guide me as to how to pray. And I sent a prayer response to that prayer need. Very quickly a reply came back that the day after the prayer request had been submitted, there had been a breakthrough, and the situation was much much better! I was puzzled and perplexed, but soon it came to me that the very act of submitting a prayer request is in itself an act of prayer which is received by the Father directly. Not only that, but the confidence that others are (or soon will be) praying for my need gives me a boost of faith and hope, which will certainly bring the Kingdom of Light into the darkest situation.

In some ways, we ministry team members are mere bystanders who are privileged to participate in the process of prayer. But the prayer request submitted online is received directly by Papa God, and He immediately goes to work on the situation. Once again: this ministry is all about Him.

Would you like to reach out and minister the Father’s heart to people all over the world in a team ministry via the Internet? Here’s your chance! This is a ministry you can do from home. All you need is a computer with an internet connection — and the Holy Spirit.

Prayer Clinic Online is accepting new ministry team members. We are looking for intercessors who can commit to sign in at least twice a week. The ability to hear and discern God’s voice is a huge plus. And you need to have received a good dose of the Father’s love to give out to others.

If you sense that God is calling you to join our team, please visit the “Join Our Team!” page at the Prayer Clinic homepage for more details. Can’t wait to hear from you!

Prayer Clinic Online is live once again!

Your heavenly helpdesk is reorganized and refreshed and ready to accept new Prayer Support Tickets.

Thank you for your patience!

Prayer Clinic Admin.

Please note: No ministry team members were harmed in the reorganization of this ministry.

Prayer Clinic Online went live Sept. 19th, 2009, and began pay-per-click advertising on Oct. 26th. In the past 12 days with a minimal advertising budget ($3.14 CDN total spent) we received 28 Prayer Support Tickets from all over the world.

We are now hearing from Papa God to stop accepting new tickets for the moment in order to reorganize. As this is a brand new ministry with plenty of quirks and tweaks to work out, it makes sense.

So, for the moment, we are not accepting new Prayer Support Tickets. For those who have already open tickets, you may still access these at Prayer Clinic Online. For those who were hoping to open a new ticket, please hang in there and we will be back.

Surely Papa God has good plans for you! You are His little lamb that He has not abandoned. Why not ask Him to open up another route — a detour — for you while this one is under repairs? Bless you!

We don’t do much — ourselves.

The lion‘s share of this work is God’s. All the credit, recognition and thanks that is often directed towards us, really belongs to Him.

Yes, we do do something, we admit:

1. Our focus is Papa God — He is our desire. We spend lots of personal, interactive time with Him because He is so desirable, so wonderful, so beautiful and we enjoy hanging out with Him.

2. We get to know when He is speaking to us or showing something to us or giving us some feeling or nudge. And because He is so precious and so lovable to us, we want to respond to Him and His messages.

3. We copy Him. Like toddlers, we imitate Him. We do what He does; we say what He says. We don’t let people egg us on or discourage us or puff us up or lead us down the garden path. The only One who has the right to lead us down the garden path is our Papa God. We follow Him. We respond to Him.

And… that’s it. Papa God does all the rest. It’s all about HIM. And we are crazy about HIM!!!

Footnote for the curious: We learned to interact personally with Papa God from the biblical and Holy Spirit-inspired teachings and example of Loren Cunningham and Joy Dawson of YWAM, Heather Curnew of Myrrh Ministries, and Mark Virkler of Communion With God Ministries. Anyone can do it!

Have you ever wished you could just submit a trouble ticket to God the way you can with your ISP’s helpdesk, and know for sure that help is on the way?

Well, now you can, with Prayer Clinic Online! Prayer Clinic Online works very much like an online help desk, where you submit a support ticket and receive back via e-mail first an automated response and soon a more personal response from a technician. In this case, however, the support tickets are requests for prayer, and the technicians are ministry team members specially trained to hear from God.

It is important to note that Prayer Clinic Online does not offer counselling or advice. Rather we act as a direct line between you and the Father at times when you feel you’ve been disconnected. So we do not tell you what we think; we report to you what we hear the Father saying. It is also essential to realize that we are imperfect human beings, and we can miss it. Whenever you receive a message from God through another human being, it is absolutely essential to test it before swallowing.
