My Dear friends
I really do not mean to bother you but this is to good to pass up. I think it will bless you so much.
Prime Minister P.J. Patterson from Jamaica sent a last minute prayer request for his little Island. He asked us to please pray that God would move the storm. I got the request just before the meeting at Parkland. So on Friday night one week after we prayed for Frances to move out of the way we started to pray for Ivan the terrible. We were broadcasting live so this went out over the airwaves.
This was interesting to me because at lunch earlier that day I was so excited how the Lord had answered our prayers from anointed.net on hurricane Frances I shared it with the men at lunch. Their response was, pray for Ivan then we may believe.
Well guess what. The meteorologist from the National Hurricane Center said a Miracle Happened at 11:00pm edt. That would have been exactly when you were praying with us at the meeting. They said all of a sudden the "Hand of God changed the direction of Ivan" Ivan might not even hit Florida now.
Our job is not done. So will you please come to the site and post a prayer to stop this killer storm from doing any more damage. Some of you have asked why post the prayer. It shows satan we are in unity on this and when the church rises up in unity nothing can stop the hand of God. Did not St. Peter the apostle say: "Father look how they are threatening us, Father stretch for Your hand...." So Father we are coming together as your body and asking you to stretch forth Your hand one more time to stop this killer storm.
My God is an awesome God.
Remember we can't do this without you

The Hand of God on Ivan the Terrible:

IN MIAMI
KINGSTON, Jamaica, Sept. 9 -- Hurricane Ivan bore down relentlessly on this lush Caribbean island Thursday evening, and Jamaicans battened down while Prime Minister P.J. Patterson appealed for and other officials urged preparations and prayer. They had been urged to pray for a last-minute miracle as Hurricane Ivan, one of the most ferocious storms in Caribbean history, tore towards their vulnerable island.
As they did so, an extraordinary thing happened .....

By the way we have hundreds of testimonies of the miracles of how God saved people from Frances
for the 2.7 million people of Jamaica. Defying all the computer predictions and forecasts mapped out by some of the world's finest weather experts, Ivan the Terrible showed mercy, making a last-minute turn to the west that kept its core offshore. Jamaica, an island of 2.6 million known for its tourism, reggae and Blue Mountain coffee, was saved the full brunt of Ivan's fury by this answer to prayer that created an unexpected wobble and lurch to the west.
At 11pm according to the National Hurrican Center the eye has wobbled toward the west for the past few hours but is expected to resume a west-northwestward motion near 10 mph...17 km/hr...and this general motion is expected to continue with some decrease on forward speed during the next 24 hours. The wobble toward the west appears to have kept the eye and very strongest winds just south of the island...but hurricane conditions are affecting Jamaica at this time
Despite the 11th-hour change of course, likened by some to a "hand of God" intervention, it was clear last night that the hurricane had still inflicted a deeply cruel punishment on Jamaica - and was expected to do so again last night on the British territory of the Cayman Islands, then Cuba.
"It wobbled and it spared Jamaica," said Jennifer Pralgo, a meteorologist at the National Hurricane Centre in Miami, Florida. "It kept the worst of the storm offshore, but they did get hurricane force winds and there are reports of serious damage."
The most destructive part of the storm, the eye wall, skirted just south of Jamaica's heavily populated capital, Kingston, they were spared the worst of the weather in this hurricane because it is always to the north and east of the eye. Ivan had gusts of up to 189mph recorded, with sustained winds at 155mph.. God was merciful to this little island.
Jamaica was let off lightly compared with Grenada, where Ivan killed 34 people. British tourists last night told of their terror as they were stranded on the island as Ivan descended.
Hurricane Ivan was last night spinning wildly across the Caribbean Sea, rated as a Category Five storm - the most extreme level on the Saffir-Sampson scale. Weathermen said it looked set to pass over or close to the Caymans and then onwards over the western tip of Cuba, where an animated Fidel Castro appeared on television urging his people to brace for the worst.
Ivan's track beyond Cuba seemed uncertain last night, though the National Hurricane Centre in Miami forecast it heading north-west into the Gulf of Mexico, possibly brushing the Florida Keys en route. From there, its track could lead it north on to the Florida Panhandle, making it the third hurricane in a month to hit the state.
