Title: Ray not doing well
Post by: Dennis Vogel on August 29, 2011, 12:07:44 AM
Ray has been in a lot of pain the last week. His lower back will not stop hurting. Usually when some part of his body hurts there is at least one position he can get in and the pain will ease. But this time there is no way he can sit or lay down that lessens the pain.

Please pray that Rays pain will go away.

Hi Denise,
Thank you for the update on Ray!

I  add my prayers too, asking the Lord to have mercy on Ray and to alleviate his pains. To strengthen his spirit and faith with the hope of the glory to come. 

Blessings.

Its for an awesome reason that God has chosen to spare the life of Ray although he is permanently in pain. I pray that God be with him always and His will be done not ours.

Have been praying, and still praying for you Ray and your wife and family.

"What a God we have! And how fortunate we are to have him, this Father of our Master Jesus! Because Jesus was raised from the dead, we've been given a brand-new life and have everything to live for, including a future in heaven—and the future starts now! God is keeping careful watch over us and the future. The Day is coming when you'll have it all—life healed and whole"
 ( 1 Peter 1: 3-5) in the Message version

Thanks for the update Dennis,

Hope & Pray that Ray's pain diminishes, actually, I wish He didn't have any Pain, He's suffered with this condition for so long. Looking Forward to this: Revelation, 21:3,4 for all of us.

So Sorry For Ray, Samson.

I will definetly be praying for you, Ray.  Be strong and brave like you have been for so long. We are all your friends even if many of us have never met you personally. You are our brother in Christ.

So many people love you and we are so incredibly thankful to God because he has blessed us with you. Stay strong my friend. This will come to pass.

I join my prayers with that of all faithfuls, that this pain will cease. What a hinderance the illness has been, this is one of the mystery of this life. But I pray that the miracle that will cause Ray to stand and give a testimony of overcoming this illness will happen in Jesus name. Amen.

I still dream of inviting Ray to UK, and I know that nothing is impossible for God to do.

I thank God for pointing me to Ray's work.
Ray's writings have certainly given me the Hope I have been missing.
I now know for sure that God, our Father, through His Son Jesus Christ,
loves all of us. Even me ! He wants (wills) us all in His Kingdom in the end, and His Son
will not, can not fail in this mission.
Lord Jesus please give Ray relief from his pain. Bless him, his family and friends.
With God ALL things are possible !
THY WILL BE DONE !

Praying for God's will to be done. Hopefully that will include some rest from the pain. I'm very thankful for the work God has done through Ray.

You helped give hope to a wretch such as me. You helped touch a soul that had been cast aside. For that, I will be eternally thankful, brother. May God bless you tremendously, and hopefully His will includes some relief.

In Him,
John

I truly hope Ray recovers from all of this, that God sees fit to continue to utilize Ray in such a wonderful capacity for the spiritual growth of so many sincere people.  Ray's teaching has literally changed the life of me and my brother, has brought about such a huge and meaningful paradigm shift between what we used to believe and what we now hold to be the Truth, revealed in scripture that we know there is no going back.

We are both praying for you Ray, but if it should be time to say goodbye (for now), then know (and I'm sure you already know this) that your life has not been lived in vain, and you will continue to live on powerfully (even if it's a faint copy compared to the real "YOU") in the lives, hearts and minds of me and my brother and so many others!.  But don't give up!  Keep up the good fight!!  We are fighting with you in spirit and heart!

Well said sunsetdramaking,

That goes for me and my brother also.  Although many of Ray's thoughts and views were held by the early church it was still Ray who first brought them to us.  For that we are thankful and call him blessed.  I know he is probably torn like Paul was, part wanting to rest in the Lord and part wanting to keep on helping us.  We now know and can be sure that God's will Will be done in all things.  God is good!.....all the time!

Dear Heavenly Father,

Please continue to comfort and sustain Ray. May he continue to glorify your name in his life and ministry. He has brought Your Kingdom so much closer to so many people, and given so many of us the comfort of knowing the power and perfection of Your will. Let Your will be done in his life, both in this aeon and the aeons to come. Indeed You are his all in all. Amen.

for lives that have been touched, for souls that have been set free, for the wondering minds that found rest, for the seeker whose journey has just been fulfield, May the Lord of our God hear all the combined prayers and as He see fit, extend His mercies and comforts on Ray and his family, you have become that which many of us have come to respect and appreciate having come across...we pray without ceasing.
