Current News About This Ministry

By Phil Scovell

Over recent months, I have given much consideration to discontinuing the intercessory inner healing prayer ministry I have been doing for nearly the past eight years. The articles and testimonies on the website have become so numerous, it is almost hard to locate something I've written in order to share with someone as we pray and for that alone, I praise the Lord because it demonstrates all the Lord has done for me and with me in recent years. I find myself, however, spending less and less time maintaining the website and updating it with new material simply because of volume alone.

Furthermore, I have apparently reached a point, since my spinal surgery January 14, 2009, that is not likely going to improve things further; this in spite of dieting, getting my high blood sugar down to normal, lowering my blood pressure, and physically exercising. I suppose that it, in and of itself, has something to do now with my age, fully recovering, that is, but my attempts, on the other hand, to improve physically beyond where I am at this moment, doesn't seem to be progressing. I experience a great deal of stiffness and aching when awakening each morning and it is normally early afternoon, after moving around for a few hours, that I finally begin to feel the aches and pains, as well as the stiffness in my legs, recede to a tolerable level. Actually 58 years of age in 2010 isn't that old, but since my back troubles began, and since the spinal surgery, things just have never quite returned to what it once was.

An additional concern is my voice. I was beginning, before the spinal surgery, to experience some voice problems. Since the surgery, and the titanium plate and pins that were used to fuse vertebras C4 and C5, my voice has not improved but is weaker now than before. I'm concerned about putting too much strain on my voice because I have many more free audio files of teaching I want to record.

Closely connected to the subject of my voice is that of my hands. Two weeks before the spinal surgery, I could no longer read Braille, type on the computer keyboard, or dial a telephone number; even a phone with large buttons. Although, as you can see for yourself, my hands are doing well but I still have tingling and numbness in my left thumb and left index finger and my right hand and wrist are considerably weaker than prior to the surgery. I prefer writing to speaking, to tell the truth, but would appreciate your prayers for both. Yet, in all of this, I am at 97 or 98 percent of what I was three months after the surgical procedure. In other words, I am very thankful for what the Lord has done for me.

Finally, there is my balance. I walk without assistance but I doubt I could even come close to walking a mile; this in spite of riding my stationary exercise bike 25 miles a week. Regardless, I have to literally pay attention to where I am going by walking slower just to keep balanced.

With all this in mind, I am canceling all prayer session appointments as of May 15, 2010 and I have decided to take the whole summer off. Next September 15, 2010, I will then decide if I will continue by making appointments again for prayer sessions or not. I will still maintain this website, and my personal site, and will continue occasionally adding new articles, writings, personal testimonies, and even audio teachings which you can now find in my free audio library. At this point, with my notes and outlines and my teaching called, "Building the TEMPLE of God," in audio format under that link title on this main page, I trust you'll find enough information to learn how to pray; exchanging your thoughts for God's. I do plan on doing more free audio recordings and placing them on my site so look for them and if you wish to be put on a mailing list in order to hear about new articles, testimonies of inner healing, studies, and audio recordings, please let me know.

If you have any questions about what you have read in this statement, or in anything else you read and hear on the site, feel free to email me at any time.

Complete In Him,

Phil Scovell
