Anointed server burns up!

Spiritual Warfare, or Coincidence?

We sincerely apologize for being offline for the past 2 days. I do believe that we have everything properly holding together at this point. This is the first time in many years that anointed.net was offline for more than a few hours. On Nov 2nd two separate events occurred that caused not only our web site, but my personal dsl line to go down.
You could not imagine my disappointment to wake up on election day and not only be unable to get online myself, but to also know that our server was down as well.
Leading up to the election our traffic was record breaking for us. In a one week span of time we moved over 1000GB of data, and had tens of thousands of people accessing either the web site or the Stolen Honor video itself. These type of data transmission rates are unheard of for all but the largest Christian web sites. It was so extreme that our data center believed we were under an actual attack and "throttled" us back. That "throttle" only stayed for a single day once they figured out the traffic was indeed ok. We came to a mutual resolution on how to solve the issue and moved the main content to a number of our other servers to balance the traffic load.

On the evening of November 1st we received over 31,000 emails in about a 12 hour span of time. People definitely had a lot to say about the web site and the video being shown. I am happy to say that 99% of the emails were actually quite uplifting and encouraging us to continue.

On November 2nd the site went completely offline. After serious troubleshooting of the problem the power supply was replaced twice but the problem was not resolved. The web site would come up but immediately power down and it was not un till today that the full extent of the problems were known. It turns out there was a MAJOR overheating problem going on system wide. Parts were literally MELTING.

As of this moment, parts have been pulled together to "piece" the server back together and the site is obviously online again.
As to my dsl line, that is back up and running. Here is the really "funny" thing about that situation. After 3 days of waiting for a resolution to my problem, the Verizon technician finally came to my house to troubleshoot the problem. It turns out that someone had REMOVED my dsl switch at their main station and given it to someone else. When he arrived at the station today, he found the piece back in my slot, only it was in backwards. Once again is this warfare or coincidence? I'll let you decide that one, as I can see no reason to ever have my switch removed, nor could they explain it.

WE REALLY NEED YOUR HELP ON THIS WEBSITE!
Our server is holding at the moment, but we really do need to buy the proper equipment to keep it up and running in the future.
As most of you know, we are all ready the largest prayer board on the Internet, and we continue to grow daily. The traffic and demand on the server is going to only increase as the Lord continues to bless this ministry.
Building a "proper" server for this site is going to cost thousands of dollars, and we need your help.
I am asking for those of you that can to partner together with us in order to purchase the needed equipment to keep this site running and to upgrade it for future growth. We currently personally spend over $5,000 a month in server fees and programming salaries to keep this site online for those in need.
If you would like to consider helping with this ministry please Click here to make a donation.
We have 2 options. One is where you can make a one time gift, and the other allows you to make automatic monthly gifts to help maintain this web site. Every donation will make a difference, and if you cannot afford to donate, PLEASE keep us and this web site in your prayers.
Thank you and the Lord bless you all

I thank You, Lord, that President Bush was reelected!!! It was war, and I know that's why the server was down. We we're trying to come on here to put up prayers of thanksgving and rejoicing, and we were so disappointed not to be able, though I did make it on, in a couple brief windows of time. Also, Lord, my computer is having it's own peculiar glitch, so it shut down when I was trying to post.

Kerry commented that all the Ohio votes would get counted. My prayer is nothing underhaded goes on with that!!! I pray the angels are there on the job, watching over that entire proccess, because we do not need any more enemy attacks. Let the counting be done honestly. You see, right now, nobodies even thinking about that. He made that comment so casually, and most people are just sad Kerry's not in who wanted him in. But is anyone thinking about them still counting those votes? I just pray that nothing whatever comes of that. Not trying to be a downer, and not saying You told me that, just don't trust Kerry or his supporters!!! And, after the election, after hearing Kerry say that in his speech, it was bothering me all day.... So I was cautiously happy Bush won. I didn't want to go to sleep, in case the devil had one last trick up his sleeve.

I honestly believe the prayers on here had a huge impact on Geroge W. Bush winning. I am thankful I could post prayers for him. I know the enemy didn't like the part we had to play.

Anyway, Lord, I pray the servers are fixed and in running order and that all the money is supplied for this.

In Jesus Name, amen.

Father, this morning we bring to you this anointed prayer room, a place where people come to pour out their deepest needs. Father of all our needs, of all our difficulties, you who is our help, who is there when we have no one, you who was before time, you who is the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings. We crown you Lord of all in this prayer area, we pray dear Jesus that this prayer room will remain as an open door for people to come, an open door for people to hear your voice, an open door for encouragement and a sanctuary to all those who are giving their hearts to you today. Jesus, be thou our guiding star today. Lord, keep these doors open. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen!

I just blame John Kerry. He probably had a fit with the prayers against him. Praise God the right man won the election....

Father, in Jesus' Name we ask You to place a hedge of protection around every anointed battle field for the joy of Your saints and we ask You to bless each vessel that comes to this site. Let each of us feel Your touch when we come here to be ministered to. We ask You for a pillar of fire to surround the equipment You have provided for this site and let the enemy be disappointed when he tries to come against the blessings You have provided here.

We thank You for all things and for allowing them to all work together for our good. In Christ we stand.....Amen.

Dear Prayer Partners:
Pray for me as I intend to leave family, friends, and all associates to go to Baghdad and volunteer my support as a visiting-misssionary for one year's service. It is my desire to hold outdoor revival meetings among the saved assembly in Baghdad. We have a greater, living message from the One, True God! The Iraqui people live without promise or hope. It is a delusional religion that offers no peace or true understanding of the Good News of Christ. I fear no death. My eternal security lies in Jesus. Pray that I will soon be able to make the trip to the glory of God our Father. Pray also for all true believers to reddem the tome for the days are evil. Pray that we all adopt the famous attitude of D.L. Moody who prayed: Lord, help me to witness to at least one soul each day before the sun goes down!How many would dare offer that request? It is a prayer that God will surely answer! God bless all the prayer warriors on this forum!

Father! Bless Nehemiah as he goes out into the world to do Your bidding. By Your power and Your will, help him have the means to make this trip very soon. Open the hearts of the Iraqi people to the true power of Your word, Your message. Let their be a tremendous outpouring of Your Healing, Forgiving Spirit! Lord, let the time be now. Your will be done. In the name of our true Savior, Jesus. Amen.
