The LA Wildfires are causing immense damage for the people of California.

I'd like to think that the power of POE prayer was listened to regarding Mount St Helens for Shirley and her neighbours. Did it work, was it the power of POE prayer playing a hand? I guess we shall never know but either way, and soon after the thread was posted Shirley reported that the mountain had calmed down a bit! So can we do the same for LA?

Lets give it a go members. Prayers from Anna and Ron carrying lots of rain for California are on the way, whilst giving the firefighters and the people of California the strength to carry on!!

Ron, I totally believe in the power of POE prayer (all prayer really), so I will continue praying for all these folks.  Perhaps we shouldn't pray for too much rain for California.  They tend to have mud slides in addition to all their other woes.  Maybe just enough to put out the fires?

I said my prayers for them earlier with Terter, she's an lightworker also. Of the five fires burning, I added up 130,839 acers burnt on last report. Never make your prayers for "rain" excusively..make it for putting out the fires in general, and be it by the "will of God/creator" at that. Most the time my prayers are for things to be "normal" per season, per locale...as creator see's fit for the higher calling. I think it was "coast to coast" decided to do one of the "prayer" things for rain and an drought stricken area and it worked OK..massive flooding and deaths there after. He's kind of shy about doing things such as this now.

Most of what's burnt is chaparel, or an low growing type of sage brush looking stuff. In some ways, it burning now, might save this area down the road an couple of years. though I've been to this area, and if the Children's hospital in stilll in Altadena, it woudl be sad to see that go and also the Mt. Wilson Observatory..and landmark of its own. so far two firemen dead, and 7 people trapped, and burned...and 100 homes gone. They have well over 2,500 fire-fighter's out there trying to put them out, but I have not seen how they were started mentioned, and you know I suspect and ahve for many years they are man-made caused...the last tie it turned out to be forrest service personnel trying to beef up thier employment prospects in fighting them...they were taken off to jail when they caught up with them. With things like "earth-google" out there it's pretty hard not to see what's going on in the area any more.

They will be in my prayers too Ron. Fire is such a terrible thing. My nephew is driving around California at the moment - hope he is careful where he goes to.

That is worrying Rick - thinking of you too xxx

Well, we are doing them over here also and they said it worked, you guys are awesome, it started gently raining over yesterday, just like they needed...evryone is wondering where the moisture came from.I would though guess because of "coast to coast" radio last night...that there were many prayers groups as he had put out the call world-wide also...thier guest last night was an lady that does "prayer" and intent experiments. She is going to do one here pretty soon for water purification. She was telling everyone how "intent" is an powerful tool along with prayer.
