got this in email from HPN aka Hollywood Prayer Network
PRAISES:
HPN has been asked again, by a staff member of The Globe, to write a prayer for their next issue. This time it's for Annette Funicello, who has been struggling for years with Multiple Sclerosis.
We're excited that a tabloid is printing a Christian prayer without changing a word.
Though we don't all read The Globe, we're thankful that someone there acknowledges the power of prayer and is getting their readers to pray for Annette.
The first time we prayed, in print, for Patrick Swayze, they received hundreds of responses from readers saying that they were praying as well. Praise God for His creativity.
UPDATES:
We have asked many of you to pray for a friend from the ACT ONE community who was walking down the street in West LA and got a gunshot wound from a nearby store robbery. She is in stable condition, but has a long road to recovery and has no medical insurance or savings. Could we please pray for the Lord to do a miracle in her life, use this tragedy for His glory and her good and that our Hollywood Christian community will gather around her, helping her to meet her physical and financial needs.
REQUESTS:
America has lost quite a few of its celebrities this month. Let's pray for the peace, strength, joy and salvation of the family members, friends and fans of Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, Johnny Palermo, David Carradine, Steve McNair, Karl Malden, and Ed McMahon.
Before Farrah Fawcett passed away this month, she made this comment about her cancer, "I know that everyone will die eventually, but I do not want to die of this disease. I want to stay alive... So I say to God, because it is, after all, in his hands. It is seriously time for a miracle." God didn't answer Farrah's desires the way she wanted, but since His ways are perfect, let's pray that Ryan and her family will continue to seek Him.
The sudden, unexpected death of Michael Jackson, and the ensuing rumors and then the clarification of his hoped "conversion" experience, have caused quite a bit of stir in the Christian community. And simultaneously, his millions of fans were left feeling they lost a lifelong friend. This dramatic event, along with his recent controversies combined with warm memories from the height of his career should cause us to ponder the power of celebrity in our society.
May we seek Jesus with as much emotion, passion and commitment as the world has sought out a connection with Michael Jackson, through walking past his Hollywood star, attending his memorial service, visiting his home and watching his music videos on YouTube. God wants us to put Him (JESUS) as our first love. It has to start with us!
Newly appointed Paramount Film Group president Adam Goodman has made his first major acquisition with a deal for action-comedy pitch, "License to Steal." Goodman reportedly paid seven figures for the script to be written by Shane Salerno.
Let's pray for these gentlemen and the decisions being made on material to be written for upcoming films that are distributed around the world. It's the world's most influential business, with high-risk and high stakes. May more and more decision-makers and creators have a foundation in Christ.
Please pray with us for the people attending and the decisions being made at Comic-Con, as it gears up for it's 40th annual convention, July 23 - 26 in San Diego. This year's gathering of over 100,000 attendees is already sold out. It's an amazing frenzy of comic book fans, with panel discussions, screenings, comic book sales, and seminars. It's a not-to-be-missed event for the industry, as studios and networks plan to promote more TV shows than ever before at this month's conference.
On June 2nd, a protest march was staged outside the Los Angeles Convention Center. It was Christians protesting the release of the new video game by Electronic Arts called Dante's Inferno game, according to the Associated Press. The only problem? It was all staged.
Because Christian protests in the past have generated publicity, EA decided to hire a marketing company to create the whole thing. They even created this fake Christian protest website called "We Are Saved," as World Magazine reported.
Let's pray that Christians will understand the negative effects of boycotting and not hate non-believers for mocking us, but listen to what they're saying and try to learn from their mocks and jabs. It's most often because they've been hurt by a Christian in some way. May we love them unconditionally so that they have nothing to mock.
We encourage you to support some of the wonderful and uplifting films of the summer, from the Pixar animated "UP to the MPower true story, "The Stoning of Soraya M," (The Stoning of Soraya M.) we are encouraged at the choice of quality films available to the public this summer.
REQUESTS FROM HPN MEMBERS:
"I've had a 15 years+ prayer burden for rock singer Courtney Love. God put her on my heart in 1994, when her husband Kurt Cobain committed suicide, leaving Courtney and their then 19 month old, daughter, Frances Bean Cobain.
I'm sincerely asking you to pray particularly fervently for her during the next few weeks - specifically that the health-sapping stress she's under from substantial, ongoing financial and legal woes may bring her to her knees and into a personal relationship with Jesus.
Please pray that God would make Himself very real to her - and to her daughter Frances, now 16 years old."
VERSE OF THE MONTH:
He replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." Matthew 17:19-21
