span style="mso-bidi-font-family:Calibri;mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin">LOS ANGELES, CA - This is a story of a recent prayer meeting. Two of us were praying about both personal requests as well as national and international political requests. We have done this before. This time was different. A prayer came that was so powerful, even though we were on the phone, the effects were felt at each end of the phone line.
The prayer was in the tradition of the prayer to St. Michael. 'Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the malice and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world for the ruin of souls'. Amen.

The prayer that spontaneously arose was similar. Prayers were prayed. Scriptures were presented to the Lord as promises of his aid. And then a prayer came. 'Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.' Psalm 103:20 A prayer came that the angels would go forth in the name of Jesus to fulfill the promises of God that had been prayed.
We could feel that reading the scriptural promises and requesting the angels to go forth and fulfill God's word had such power that there was a shift in the atmosphere. It was so powerful that I am convinced that this is something I need to regularly do, that I hadn't been doing but is something I need to add when I pray. 'Ye have not because ye ask not.' James 4:2
