Father God, I am standing in the gap for Terri Shiavo...Lord, I pray that You will make a way where "there seemeth no way." Save her life Lord, do not let her husband, and a corrupt Judicial system murder her. Lord we know that this is a battle between good and evil....let Terri be the catalyst that causes every Christian in this nation to rise up for justice on her behalf. We come against every principality and power that has been assigned against her and we command them in the Name of Jesus to return to the pit of hell from which they came...Father we loose your Holy Spirit to move on Terri's behalf...we post angels all around her, and we send your Warrior Angels out to do battle for her. We send forth Your Word and claim total healing for Terri... for Your Word never returns void, but always accomplishes that which it is sent forth to do...Your Word says "I came that you might have life and life more abundantly" we call that forth that life for Terri right now in the Name of Jesus. Father You have given us the Power of the Spoken Word, that Jesus walked in to accomplish Your Will here on this earth...Lord we know that it is not Your Will for Terri to be murdered....so we speak Life to Terri
in the Name of Jesus! Thank You Lord, for her life, thank You Lord, for saving her life. We give you all the Praise and the Glory for what You are going to accomplish through Terri's life. Amen. Jo Ann Grove

Dear Lord Jesus Christ- I stand in full agreement of prayer with Jo Ann for Terri Shiavo and her situation. I also pray you would prevent any legal peramiters from being instituted to continue to let her die. We ask for a reversal to happen that would be Federal designated to keep her alive. In Jesus Name- Amen!

I believe God may be looking down at us with shame for the way people are behaving. God gave us free will to make our own decisions also God is the only one who should judge us for what decisions we make or have to make.I see people every day at my job struggle with the exact same decision Terri's family are having to make. It is one of the hardest decisions people have to make.God is the only one who knows what Terri really wanted. Both her parents and her husband want to do the right thing for her. They just both think she will be better off differnt ways. Thats why we need to pray to God to give us the wisdom to make the right decision for Terri. I also believe a decision such as this is a family decision not a decision for a bunch of protesters who don't even know her and just want to be seen. This is a tragedy that happened to someone else, about the only good thing that could come fom this is that we learn from it.

Doctors Disagree on Schiavo's Awareness
By Malcolm Ritter, AP Science Writer
Is there any doubt that Terri Schiavo is in a persistent vegetative state? Yes, argue those fighting to keep her alive, including Gov. Jeb Bush....Brain scans and examinations were conducted in 2002, but no new neurological evaluation has been ordered since, and the medical record has been closed....

Shining a Spotlight on Life (EXCERPT)
The determination to advance a culture of life hasn't been shaken — it's only been strengthened — by what's happened to Terri Schiavo. The Terri Schiavo tragedy has only heightened the awareness of how our culture has moved from presuming in favor of life to presuming in favor of death....We don't know what the outcome of this tragic situation will be. But Terri's situation has taught us that life is fragile, that life must be protected, that we need to do what we can now to make sure this doesn't happen again....
-- Sonja Swiatkiewicz, senior manager for media and constituent communications at Focus on the Family



Matthew 6:9 ...Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

2 Corinthians 13:14 KJV

Lil-jayne- I understand where you are coming from ok? But, you have no idea how many spouses of totally disabled to being in comas people I've seen over the years taking care of thier loved ones in Nursing Homes during my years of "Shut-in" ministries. They believed what the marrige vow mean't by- "till death due us part". Not to mention I helped my earthly father take care of his wife- my Mom, during the last 10 months of her life. Then, I took care of my earthly father in his last month of life. Both in basically the same situation. Yet, we chose to keep the tubes connected until they naturally died from thier disease. Because Mom and Dad both could still respond, yet very very little, we believed it best, God decide when to allow them to go to Him. We could never have disconnected the tubes and let them die from the suffering thier diseases were causing them. Thus, have you thought of the pain Terri would suffer as her body slowly used all that was in her body as food, then to start feeding off it's own body mass to try and survive? Take a look at pictures of people suffering with anorexia and other starvation problems as such. They lose tremendous body mass, from the body feeding off itself, all the while, making the person sicker and sicker, as organs struggle to keep functioning because of that. Is that how we should want Terri to die? That is totally unnatural and uncalled for and is murder. For the cognative signs Terri Schiavo has shown proving some brain functioning, pulling her feeding tube I suggest is the same as taking a new born baby some place and leaving it to fend for itself. It would starve to death also. Not to mention, we have another report of a young woman who just came out of a 20 year coma and called her family. To me, thats a miracle of God. Why not for Terri also? Letting her parents have custody of Terri and taking care of her is leaving her husband free to do as he pleases. What harm is there in that? I believe the article "young" above me posted about life and death in societies' thinking. Please understand, I hold nothing against you or your opinion, but, statistics do prove, most younger couples don't like being tied down by a disabled or worse spouse, to parents and more. In essence, the husband is actually more free of the situation, to turn Terri over to her parents, than to have to face God in the end, for causing her death by starvation, knowing Terri shows enough cognative signs of brain functioning to be considered alive. I pray you might be able to understand our point of view now. It's not mean't to hurt or judge anyone at all, but to seek God's Will, giving Terri the chance she deserves with God to fulfill His Will for her, by our staying inline with God keeping her alive as life signs seen with her dictate. Thank you and God Bless!

Dear Jo Ann,

Terri's case has caused me to rmember the recent passing of my mother, who I still grieve for. With her passing I have, finally, began to accept Christ and his salvation. I am not there yet, but I feel I soon will be.

More to the point. I need to find a forum to discuss hospice. You see I got hospice involved in my mother's case and regret this decision to a degree that I cannot adequately express. In short, I was vulnerable and I feel that the hospice staff, while being good and kind people, pressured me into allowing her life to end. It is a rather long story to explain but, in essence, I feel that (like the ACLU) hospice STARTED as a noble ideal but has now become an organization that pnader to death rather than life. My mother had many illnesses but she was, for the most part, alert. She did have pain but she did not have any emminent threat of death if she could have had excess fluid removed from her stomache area. As I said, I was vulnerable and was seeking help in coping with her. From the day hospice got involve to the day my mother passed was only two weeks. Prior to that she was ill, but NOT dying. Has anyone else at this forum had a similar experience? I need to know as when ever I bring it up to my family members or my doctor I am told that it is simply my grief. I know it is not.

On a broader scope. I WAS an abortion rights proponent but I am changing in that regard also. What I see with Terri is that America has become a culture of death; and I fear I was a participant in this in that I followd the advice of hospice. Perhaps I am wrong, but I doubt it. From abortion, to criminals who murder children getting short sentences, to Terri the writing is clear for all those who wish to see. We appear to no longer value life.

Regardless as to Terri's brain function, what is happening is MURDER, pure and simple. and it is barbaric.

God Bless You and I shall continue to pray for Terri. I fear this will not end well, and I fear for the soul of my nation.

Mike

KJV John 3:13 ...No man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

KJV John 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

KJV John 16:7 ...I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. 13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth....

KJV Romans 15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

KJV 1 John 5:7 ...It is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. 7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father (...one God, the Father...), the Word (...one Lord Jesus Christ....made flesh, and dwelt among us....), and the Holy Ghost (...the Comforter....): and these three are one.
(1 Corinthians 8:6; John 1:14;14:26)

KJV 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord...is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

KJV Romans 3:20 ...By the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. 21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God.

KJV Hebrews 7:24 ...This man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. 25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

Dear Governor Jeb Bush,
Please use your executive powers to take Terri Schiavo into protective custody right now. Section 2 of the constitution of the state of Florida states: All natural persons, female and male alike, are equal before the law and have inalienable rights, among which are the right to enjoy and defend life and liberty... No person shall be deprived of any right because of ... physical disability.

Governor, you have all the authority to remove Terri from those who would kill her and save her life. Indeed, your oath of office requires it: I, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will will support, protect and defend the Constitution and government of the United States and of the state of Florida...

Please Governor, for the sake of Terri, rescue her immediately!

Sincerely,

A personal note:
Mike, (with concerns as you expressed thus, "I shall continue to pray for Terri. I fear this will not end well, and I fear for the soul of my nation.") I ended my last letter to Governor Bush with this adaption of above suggested content: "Please, now, for Terri's sake -- as well as for the sake of all America, rescue her from dehydration and starvation."
It seems that there is a lack of understanding among the judges about a person having a feeding tube, and I cannot understand why Terri was allowed to be placed in a Hospice situation.
Eleven months after suffering a stroke that left her paralyzed on the right side, my mother had a feeding tube inserted and for three years remained in her home with family -- until her death eight days shy of her ninety-sixth birthday.
It also seems to me that there should be an investigation into why Terri has not been receiving any therapy, which in itself could constitute abuse.

Mike I pray for you to have assurance of your salvation with faith in God through Yesuah, the Messiah, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ -- Emmanuel, God with us.
KJV 1 John 4:9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
(Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:1,16,21-23; Acts 2:36;8:15; Galatians 4:4-7; Ephesians 2:4-10; 1 John 4:15; Titus 3:1-8; James 2:17,26)

I praise God for your changing view of abortion.
KJV Luke 1:36 ...The sixth month with her 41 ...the babe leaped in her womb....
KJV Deuteronomy 30:19 ...Choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live.

I have not had any first-hand experience with Hospice assistance for immediate family; however, Mike, I understand what you are saying. Although I am very sorry you consider you were pressured by the Hospice staff and are having to deal with that, I think you should find consolation in the fact that you were struggling with caring for your mother and indeed sought to have the best for her.
I have known many people to be very pleased with Hospice help when loved ones were dying. I know here in our county some have even "graduated" from needing the service -- a neighbor did, and it was several years until her condition again worsened and she died in a rest home. A cousin dying of cancer seemed to receive excellent care in a Hospice house in a neighboring county. The family of a cousin-in-law, who died in a rest home recently from cancer, appreciated Hospice support and comfort -- one man would come to read to him.
(Jean Young)



KJV 1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

KJV Romans 8:34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

KJV Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also; knowing that tribulation worketh patience; 4 and patience, experience; and experience, hope: 5 and hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

KJV Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. 28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

KJV Numbers 6:24 The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: 25 The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: 26 The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

KJV Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. 5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. 6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

I really do not understand why this tragedy has to be so complicated. Some folks have pointed that Terri is just a shell of her former self. Even then, why should any one demands that the "shell" be gotten rid of. Terri's parents and siblings still love her for what she is, so why shouldn't she be allowed to be taken care of by them? It will be egregiously presumptuos to say that they want her for the money......What Money? Why should it be a problem if any money is given under the law any way? conversely, does the husband wants her dead for the money too? See, getting nowhere!

I am very sorry, but to drive my point, I have to ask, why hasn't some one taken somebody to the court for keeping and preserving "dead" mummies?

KJV John 6:35 ...Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. 51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

KJV John 4: 13 Jesus...said,.... 14 ...Whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11 Give (Terri) this day (her) daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever.
