💌 What if you are someone's love letter from God today?

Every smile.
Every prayer.
Every encouraging word.
Every act of compassion.

God writes His love into the hearts of others through ordinary people who are willing to say, "Here I am, Lord." ❤️

Someone around you may never open a Bible...
But they will read your patience.
They will read your kindness.
They will read your forgiveness.
They will read your hope.

🤍 Ask the Lord today:
"Who needs to experience Your love through me?"

You may be the love letter they've been praying for.

The child who felt unseen.
The child who felt alone.
The child who learned to be strong, hide, perform, or protect themselves.

Jesus sees that child with compassion.

He does not look with disappointment. He looks with love.

In prayer, Jesus can meet us in the places where our hearts are still waiting for comfort, understanding, and healing. He gently brings His presence into those places—not to overwhelm us, but to restore us.

Healing does not mean forcing ourselves to revisit every painful moment. Jesus is gentle. He knows what our hearts can handle, and He brings forward only what is necessary for healing and freedom.

Through inner healing prayer, we help people navigate these conversations with care and compassion, allowing the Holy Spirit to lead the process. We don’t have to uncover everything at once. We can trust the One who knows us completely and loves us perfectly.

“He took the children in His arms, placed His hands on them and blessed them.” — Mark 10:16

The same Jesus who welcomed children then still draws us close today.

He is safe.
He is compassionate.
He is still healing hearts. ❤️

If you feel the Lord inviting you into a deeper place of healing, we would be honored to pray with you.

✨ Contact us today to schedule an inner healing prayer appointment at https://www.crcministries.net/ or by calling 281-910-0668 and take the next step toward experiencing the love, freedom, and restoration Jesus offers.

Greg's message for the week:

How Many Times?
This week I would like to address the question of how many times we should pray for something.

In Mark 11 Jesus says: “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”

So, believing and faith are vital elements to answered prayers. Is once enough?

But wait a moment, didn’t Jesus pray multiple times for God’s intervention? Yes.

• In praying for the Gerasene demoniac in Mark 5, He first prayed “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!”. Apparently, nothing happened and then He asked him ““What is your name?” When the answer was “My name is Legion, for we are many.”, Jesus negotiated with the spirit and sent all the spirits into the pigs.”

• After initially praying for the blind man at Bethsaida, “he asked him, “Do you see anything?” And he looked up and said, “I see people, but they look like trees, walking.” Then Jesus laid his hands on his eyes again; and he opened his eyes, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly.” (Mark 8: 22-25)

• When Jesus was praying in the garden of Gethsemane, He prayed three times “My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.”

There are times when it’s necessary to pray multiple times.

If God has answered, we don’t need to ask anymore, even if the answer is not what you wanted.

If we are asking for material things, once should be enough..believing by faith that God has granted that request. Once the request in faith has been made, Thank Him and believe.

In a short powerful video, Mark Virkler (CWGMinistries) gives the following answer to this question related to healing prayer and deliverance:

Why Do I Need to Pray More Than Once for Healing?

“Having noted that I can pray up to four times (or more) for healing, I have been asked the question, ‘Why do I need to command the healing more than once? Why isn’t once enough?’

So since I had never asked God that question, I decided to journal about it. I have noticed that many times not much happens the first time I command a healing, but if I do it immediately again, very often a level of healing occurs, and if I do it again, then an even greater healing is manifested.

{God said} ‘Mark, even I needed to repeat the command when I was dealing with the Gerasene Demoniac. You are fighting an enemy. You are coming against an enemy. You are attacking and defeating. Does an army strike once, or do they strike over and over until the enemy is defeated? They continue to strike, weakening the enemies’ defenses until they are able to overthrow them.

That is what you are to do. Healing and deliverance does work, but remember it is a warfare you are involved in, and be willing to continuously strike the enemy until he is defeated. Never give up. Never accept compromise. Never accept sickness. Fight the good fight until the enemy is totally defeated. Then My glory can come and fill the space and My kingdom is enlarged.’

So toil on using the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, as that Name is a mighty battering ram. In that Name there is power and victory to defeat the enemy.

And My hand-to-hand combat tools include the sword of the Spirit, which is the rhema word of God. A precise word from Me will give a precise strategy for winning a particular battle. So seek this rhema word and then use it. As I direct your fight, you shall win.” Mark Virkler Feb. 02, 2026 cwgministries.org

The situation and request dictate how many times we are to prayerfully ask God. Through the tools God has given us, the battle for healing or deliverance frequently requires multiple “blows” to the enemy. At all times, pray in alignment with His word, His character, and believe in His infinite power, mercy, and love.
