"Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all of this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinquish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God." Ephesians 6:14-17

A Critical Time...

Thursday's surgery showed that Jared's body was not healing from the surgery he had a few weeks ago. Many of the things the surgeon did to try and help his body heal properly just weren't working and Jared's immune system wasn't able to kick-in and really heal him from the surgery. They found that he had a lot of bacteria and cleaned him out they best the could, and put drains in this time to help get any fluid out that may accumulate.

Jared's condition is critical at this time. He is still in ICU on a ventilator and they are doing everything they can to help Jared's body kick into gear to do what it needs to do.

Here is the bottom line, Jared has to pull out of this. In order for that to happen his body's immune system and lungs need to start working well.

These are the specific things Jared needs prayer for right now:
  • No infection and a strong immune system.
  • Lungs would clear and he would be able to start breathing without the assistance of the ventilator.
  • His heart rate, blood oxygen and blood pressure would normalize and stay there.

We believe that God will do a miracle in Jared's body and he will be healed completely. The bible says that -

"When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him and put him to flight." Isaiah 59:19

This is the standard we have held since Jared first was diagnosed and God has done miraculous things for Jared. So when we have these situation arise and the enemy looks like he is flooding in, we hold this standard before him and he is put to flight. Jared will take back the ground that the enemy is trying to take from him and he will move further into the places the Lord has for him, and we believe that is complete healing.

Please believe that with us. All was ask is that you stand with us and believe for the Lord's hand to heal Jared's body. So now we wait, and pray and expect to see God do something amazing.

Thank you for your support, it is needed now more than ever. May the Lord bless you and protect you as you stand and fight with us.

Please know there are so many lifting your names in prayer. You are such an instrument of faith Jared. I know Christina is so proud of your brave spirit. Stand strong knowing that many are speaking your names to the father and asking for earthly angels to wrap their arms around you both.
