Prayer Warriors Community Group
We are a group dedicated to praying for people and animals in need. Prayer is one of our best resources for help, healing and spiritual support. The power of prayer is studied by universities around the world but for those with faith no scientific evidence is needed. Prayer changes lives. Prayer is not hindered by distance time or space.

My friends. I received a phone call from my oldest son last night. He has been in the Greenville Detention Center since Nov of last year. My ex wife and him were drunk and on drugs when he got into a fight with their neighbor. He took a baseball bat to this man and almost killed him and now he is in jail on attempted murder charges. He is now 25 and over the last 5 or 6 years I have let him live with us several times and straightened him out for a while. My wife and I has taken him to detox twice and got him into a three month program at a treatment center. He has a little boy that is 5 but his girl friend is also on drugs. It is just a mess. Her mother has my grandson now.
A week before all this happened he came to my house drunk and on something. I would not let him in around my other 4 children. I stood and tried to talk with him on the porch to no avail so I made him leave. He had walked here and I would not give him a ride. I then went into my bedroom and got down on my knees and prayed. I told Father that I had turned Randy over to him a long time ago but now I needed something to be done before he ended up dead. The next week he was in jail.
During our phone conversation last night he said the lawyer was wanting him to take a agreement if he plead guilty he would just get 10 years but if he went before the judge he could get life. He has a very bad record by the way. Randy ask me whet he should do and I said to ask God in prayer. I knew if I told him what to do and it went sour he would blame me the rest of his life.
My friends I am not asking for prayer that he be released nor his sentence be light. I ask if you would please pray for him to accept Jesus into his heart and try to make something out of what ever time he receives. I do ask that God protects him in prison but Randy is going to have to pay for what he has done. This was against everything that I have ever taught him. Thank you my friends and may the Lord's blessing be upon you this day as you serve Him....Chaplain Turner

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
You were very wise in telling Randy to ask God. It is hard to see young men make wrong choices in life. And its not easy to pray what ever it takes Lord allow it to come to pass. And I know you know it is his life and the only one that can change him is God.
My husband and I do prison ministry so we know the trials and tribulation of the prisoners and prisons. And we also know that plea bargains can backfire because of a judge. We have seen this happen too.
For Randy going to prison may be where he will be able to find God and get his life right to take responsibility of his life.. This also may save him from getting killed. What we need to pray are several things for Randy mercy from the judge, the will of God and salvation,
Lets pray! Father God, I lift up Chaplain Turner's son Randy to you. Chaplain Turner loves Randy with a great love because if he didn't he wouldn't of shared his situation with us. You see Randy and you know what he needs in his life at this time. I pray for mercy from the judge that it would be a fair sentence. I pray that he will find you in the quietness of his cell. Let him have an encounter with you. I pray for his protection while he is in prison for we know prison life is not a fun place. I lift up Randy and his mother to you that will be delivered from alcoholism,
Father you tell us in your word that all things work for th good to those who are call according to the will of God. Chaplain Turner can't see the good in this but Father we know their is good in this. Just the fact that Randy is still alive is a miracle. Now Father take that stony heart he has and peel back the outer shell to get to the center tender part and let him so he will surrender to you.
Father God I bind the rebellious spirit that controls Randy, let the word not return void that was plant into his spirit, let him here your word in the wee hours of the morning and as he lays his head on his pillow. I pray for your will to be done and not his. In Jesus Name I Pray!
