PEACEMAKERS PRAYERS FOR VICTIMS OF ISTANBUL’S AIRPORT BOMBINGS

At the beginning of the year 2016, we were commissioned to pray for the world. Love, Hope and Peace is the charge. Six months in, and we have heard of scores of murders and all sorts of atrocities, on a global scale. We can choose to follow the charge and believe for change; or we can continually shift our focus to the terrible news reports of terror and fear. I recommend that we continue to pray, unceasingly, with great fervency and determination to see the invisible good, even amidst the illusions of chaos with its temporary disorder.

world of people2

“And so, in the wake of the Istanbul’s bombing, I pray.    I pray thanksgiving for the lives of the innocent dead. Strength comfort and healing for their relatives and friends. And reiterate the charge of love, hope and peace for the rest of us.”

While the killers are strategizing their next move to steal kill and destroy lives, I am hereby advocating a movement to protect, preserve and save lives. We might not all be able to perform the great action of actually stopping further murders, but, at least, we can all play a part.  world of peopleIf individuals would think of a country, and pray (an intentional thought for safety) for the people of that country, we would soon create ‘an intentional quota of goodwill’ for the preservation of dignity for the human race, where the safety and value for life is upheld, and permeates the whole world.

PEACEMAKERS PRAYER PATROL LEADER SPEAKS OUT AGAINST ORLANDO’S BRUTAL SHOOTINGS

Peacemakers and Respect4Life founder Reverend Dawnecia Palmer says ” I condemn this brutal shooting. It was  a calculated act of violence against members of the human race, in whom is the breath of Life. To each being is given the precious gift of ‘chance’to express and experience this life freely. Everyone has the right to live their portion of this life without terror, threat, verbal, mental or physical abuse or assault and any other ‘…cide’ action which brings another’s life to an end.”

Genesis chapter 2 verse 7 says, “Then the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living being or living soul.”

According to this text, we are living souls in whom dwells the breath of life, that is the life of God. Here we see the focus shifting from the base frame of the temple to the quality and purpose to who and what lives in the temple.  Who lives you?

Who lives you is your life. There is only one life, and one truth. We may debate this fact but it will never change the truth of it. You cannot kill life. Life lives as in eternal. This is why I  believe that these insensible barbaric inhumane acts of murders are futile. Of course, we will miss the physical, dust form to  which we have become familiar, through our various relationships , such as parents, children, family, spouse, friends, and so on. But we must know this, life doth not die. Never. Ever. Those who can grasp this truth will conquer the fear that those who commit these atrocities seeks to perpetuate.

I take this opportunity to say. I do not condone killings of any sort. In fact, I condemn every murderous act, be it through thought, will or action. And So, let us acknowledge Life. Let us be grateful for life. And let us strive to preserve life.

In closing, my prayer goes out to those who lost someone during the Orlando shooting, for those who were injured, for the neighbourhoods and the City, as they mourn  the losses, heal from the pain, that they may begin to move forward to live, despite the memories of the awful tragedy.  Amen.”

The Rev is who is currently in New York for Saturday’s Prayer Patrols, said that she wished that she was able to attend the Memorial event in London Trafalgar Square today and that it was unfortunate that she also could not to attend the other gatherings being held throughout the US.  WP_20160124_12_59_40_ProHowever, in true Peacemakers fashion,  prayer and thanksgiving were made in memory of Jo Cox,  who would have been 42 years old today.

 

The Tribute

The first is for her personal essence which  she called ‘my Self’.  The second, for her role as a Mother – an extension and produce of that self.  And the third, for her ministry, which includes her role as a wife, a daughter, a friend etc. as well as her work and service which she undertook for the good of mankind and in the hope of a better world”

The Prayer

And so as Jo rests in the arms of God, to whom we commend her soul, knowing that she did not live nor hope in vain, we too with hope, as Peacemakers, grieve alongside those that are grieving.  praying hands and candle   We especially wish to remember and pray for her husband, and their children, parents, family and friends, and the global community as they gather in remembrance and celebration of her life.  May Love, Hope and Peace strengthen, and preserve them all at this time, that when the lights of the candles are dim and no more, may the love and hope shared today live on forever.”

“Let justice be done. May the causes for which Jo Cox lived and worked never be forgotten, nor taken lightly, but may the baton be taken up by another with the same vigour, until justice is done, and the equality of the whole human race.” – Rev Palmer

“I give thanks for Life. The human body dies, but the greater reality than this is, ‘LIFE NEVER DIES’. I love this truth. I pray that the truth of this reality will keep our own heart, mind and soul in hope. And in so doing that Life will grant to us in remembering our loved ones which have gone on before us, as not having lived in vain but as even living now, in our thoughts, and by our actions, may see the fruit of those things for which they both lived and died.

I speak Peace now, I let it be, and so it is. Amen”

Peacemakers Prayer Patrols in Atlantic City

According to Wikipedia, Atlantic City is a resort  city in Atlantic County, New Jersey known for its casinos, boardwalk and beach. In 2010, it had a population of 39,558

Atlantic City was the inspiration for the original version of the board game Monopoly, especially the street names. Established in the 1800s as a health resort, today the city is dotted with glitzy high-rise hotels and nightclubs. In addition to gambling at slot machines and table games, the casinos offer spa treatments, performances by famous comedy and music acts, and high-end shopping.Undistracted by the glitz and gambling, in the early hours of the morning, Peacemakers,  Prayer Patrol a street of a neighbourhood, in a less glamorous area of the city, not far from the glamorous prestigious Caesars, and Tropicana Resort Hotels. WP_20160616_08_46_54_Pro WP_20160616_08_43_22_Pro                                      WP_20160616_08_48_14_Pro

 

 

 

 

Here we met a young woman,  she is a prostitute. She  seemed distracted as she spoke with us, her eyes busily scanning each car that passed by.  We told her what we doing out on the streets and she said ” we all need prayer around here”, most of her front teeth was missing or rotting.  There was a sense of hopelessness in her her voice. Reverend Palmer prayed for her and gave her words of hope.

Just a couple feet away at the next corner and across the road from a strip club, stood ‘Johnny'(not his real name), a strong looking young man. He is dealing drugs, and it is not yet 9 am. He listened intently as the Rev shared a few inspiring words with him. He seemed touched by their conversation and accepted prayer. As they shook hands in parting, his demeanour softened, moist-eyed, he appeared genuinely transformed and thanked her, in a quiet soft voice. 

“There was also a small window of opportunity to meet and speak with, and to pray for, a few more people before the sudden outburst of heavy rain, which interrupted and cut short the Patrol.  The Rain fell continually over the following 2 days, and all we could do then was to pray from the view of our Hotel window.”  >See video clip below.

PEACEMAKERS TRIBUTE PRAYER IN THE WAKE OF THE HORRIFIC KILLING OF MP JO COX and PLEA FOR MORE PRAYER PATROLS TO ‘MAN’ STREETS

 

Hilary Benn, MP for Leeds Central, Speaker of the House of Commons John Bercow, PM David Cameron, Commons chaplain Reverend Rose Hudson-Wilkin and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn arrive in Birstall this afternoon

PEACEMAKERS Leader Reverend Palmer joins with other Leaders and thousands of people in England, to pay respect and tribute to Labour MP Jo Cox. “In the shocking wake of the hideous killing of Jo Cox, our condolences and prayers for comfort, goes out to her husband Brendan Cox, and the couple’s two children, their family, friends, co-workers, members of her constituency, and the peoples of West Yorkshire as they mourn the death of a beloved wife, mother, daughter, friend and MP.  Hers is a precious soul, a valuable member of the human race, who contributed so beautifully for its betterment. Today our prayer is also for 77-year-old Mr Bernard Kenny, the stabbed victim, who almost gave his life to save Jo. WE pray for his  health and a speedy recovery .”

The usually quiet Yorkshire town has become the centre of the country's attention as people gather to leave floral tributes in Market Square

“WE are living in an age and season where the availability and access to guns are easily available; where there is a lack of respect for life, and where if ever a time we need an acceleration for prayer, it is NOW.” BBC UK News report HERE

Thousands of people stood solemnly in silence in Parliament Sqaure in London, to remember the MP“Peacemakers are relentless praying  the change we wish to see for our world.  LOVE, HOPE and PEACE is our charge for this year, and we are resolved to see this through. I grieve with those who mourn the death of our loved ones, but will not give in to these barbaric acts of violence and the killing of innocent people. We will press on in ardent prayer, in spite of this. We are also praying for the perpetrator, it is obvious that he needs help. So we pray that he will now get this help even though it will come too late to save Mrs Cox.”

“I urge communities to ‘man’ our streets with Prayer Patrols and use this sombre occasion to send out this appeal for Justice and safer streets, everywhere.

Prayer Patrols often meet and pray with people, some ‘on the edge’, and if there are obvious signs of serious mental issues, we try as best as we can to encourage them to seek further professional help. But by being available to listen to the cares, frustrations, and concerns of people on the streets have helped combat a whole lot of crimes over the years.

I remember a few years ago, a small band of us going out in Bristol, street crime was on the increase then.  We met a man who had just been released from prison 4 months previously,  he was armed to commit a violent crime on another man that he said had ‘p…ed him off’ earlier that day.  I watched as a few of the older women in the group prayed with him, they pleaded with him, and basically loved him through his anger until it subsided, and he had a change of heart. This was just one case, but I dread to think what might have happened had we not been out there. Who knows perhaps a wife, a mother and her children would be in mourning as we are today? ”

“…….and so, may our Prayers ‘light up the darkness’,  bringing comfort to those mourning the loss of loved ones, healing to broken lives, and helping to kerb the destitute minds of the perverted, by sowing seeds these tiny seeds of hope and peace to lighten our world.”

PEACEMAKERS in LANSING, Michigan’s Capital

Declaring Peace on the steps of Lansing Capital Hall

Lansing /ˈlænsɪŋ/ is the capital of the US state of Michigan. It is located mostly in Ingham County, although portions of the city extend west into Eaton County and north into Clinton County.

Did You Know?

  • The overall crime rate in Lansing is 44% higher than the national average.
  • For every 100,000 people, there are 11.66 daily crimes that occur in Lansing.
  • Lansing is safer than 9% of the cities in the United States.
  • In Lansing you have a 1 in 24 chance of becoming a victim of any crime.
  • The number of total year over year crimes in Lansing has decreased by 6%.

According to a report  by Kyle FeldscherKyle Feldscher | kylefeldscher@mlive.com

in 2014 Lansing crime rate increased in 2013 but police chief says incidents are down this year.  He said the 2013 crime rate for both violent crime and property crime were far above the Michigan averages and increased from 2012. Violent crimes per 100,000 people, more than double Michigan’s violent crime rate of 449.9 violent crimes per 100,000 people.  He said the Violent Crime Initiative — a collaboration between federal, state, county and local law enforcement — has helped stem that tide. In 2014, it appeared that crime was trending down.

Yankowski also said the city has seen decreases in violent and property crime, due to the police department’s work with business watches, neighborhood watches and school watches. He added that the department’s outreach into schools — especially the Gang Resistant Education And Training (GREAT) program — would mean less crime in the future.

“We trained eight police officers to go into middle schools and teach curriculum to kids about making good choices, about not joining gangs and not resorting to violence,” Yankowski said. “It’s the second school year teaching that program. We expect that extension, reaching out to our youth, to pay dividends.”

 

Since that report, it appears that crime has decreased some 6%. Perhaps due to prayers too? See article below….

Reverend Palmer, declaring         “The Spirit IN Detroit                 IS the Spirit OF God”         4th June 2016 AD/CE

The Diminutive figure of Bristol’s Peacemakers founder and Prayer Mogul, Dawnecia Palmer aka Apostle Palmer, was joined by Michigan dwellers for her first ‘real’ Prayer Patrol in the Downtown area of Detroit on Saturday afternoon, 4th June 2016.

“I have had several mini sessions since 2011, when I arrived in Michigan and first introduced the Initiative, until 2013.  It was very  to get a team together during this period because there were such divisions, dissensions, and resistance to the Vision. This kept them from really listening to hear or to see clearly what the Vision really looked like.   There were several counterfeit attempts, over this time, until, in I finally gave up trying in and returned to the UK.  However, like the Prophet Jonah, I was reinstructed by the Spirit, at the end of 2015, to ‘go back to Michigan with the same Vision.’  So, without consulting flesh and blood, I determined in my heart to carry out the Mission as I was at first so Commissioned to do. And this I did.                THE COMMISSION according to 2nd Corinthians 3:15-18; 4:1          A few days before the actual event took place,  I connected with Apostle Hodge of the Good News Station TV and Good Tree Ministries.

WP_20160604_15_19_27_ProHe was delighted to hear about the upcoming patrols.  And although he was not able to join us on the day, he was in full support of the Vision, and thankfully he faithfully sounded the alarm out to several Outreach Ministries, and Prayer groups. within Detriot and other surrounding areas”

The Rev’s Prayer

“There has been a ton load of petition, supplication and all sort of prayerful activities with certain amount of evangelism going on within this area over the years, along with many of these well meaning, goodwill ventures, and entwined within their programmes, has been the subtle hint of the ego, and a mega-fest of infighting for ownership of the presumed results.  This way of doing things is so putrid to the taste bud of a Holy God, and the way of Grace, that there remaineth the seeds of greed, conspiracy, corruption and a false sense of self-righteousness. No-one has the monopoly on God. No. Not a man, not a woman. Not a class nor creed. Not the Church and certainly not the state. We cannot outwit His righteous decrees. We cannot manipulate His hand to work within our set programmes nor our manmade schemes, for the sake of our lust and the intent of some grand position. No.  His Way Is perfect. His Way is Just and Right. It hath been declared ‘not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit’…and Spirit doth not need help. It is only as we are willing to align and attune with The Spirit of Life in God that true transformation happens.  By true transformation, meaning, where no one person, (that includes me) can be attributed the glory.  I think that for too long the spirit of Detroit has been glorified.city Hall atlas                               And it is about time that the Spirit of God is the true Spirit IN Detroit. I say Let it be so dear Lord. Amen.”
