1 Lord, how my foes have multiplied!

Many rise up against me!

"There is no help for him in God." Selah

[Musical term for a pause or change in the music.]

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) But You, O Lord, are a shield for me,

my glory and the One who raises up my head.

who have set themselves against me all around.

save me, O my God!

For You have struck all my enemies on the cheek;

You have broken the teeth of the wicked.

Your blessing is on Your people. Selah



Psalm 3

[1] LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up

against me.

[2] Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God.

Selah.

[3] But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of

mine head.

[4] I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy

hill. Selah.

[5] I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.

[6] I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set

themselves against me round about.

[7] Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies

upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.

[8] Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people.

Selah.





PSALMS 4

1 Hear me when I call,

O God of my righteousness!

You have given me relief when I was in distress;

have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) O people, how long will you turn my glory into shame?

How long will you love vanity and seek after lies? Selah

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) Know that the Lord set apart the faithful for Himself;

the Lord hears when I call to Him.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) Tremble in awe, and do not sin.

Commune with your own heart on your bed,

and be still. Selah

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) Offer sacrifices of righteousness,

and trust in the Lord.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) Many are saying, "Who will show us any good?"

Lift up the light of Your face over us.

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) You have placed gladness in my heart

that is better than when their corn and their new wine abound.

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) I will both lie down in peace and sleep;

for You, Lord,

make me dwell safely and securely.



Psalm 4

To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm of David.

1 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness:

Thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; Have mercy upon me,

and hear my prayer.

2 O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame?

How long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.

3 But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself:

The LORD will hear when I call unto him.

4 Stand in awe, and sin not:

Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness,

And put your trust in the LORD.

6 There be many that say,

Who will shew us any good?

LORD, lift thou up

The light of thy countenance upon us.

7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart,

More than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.

8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep:



PSALMS 12



For the Music Director. According to The Sheminith. A Psalm of David.



1 Help, Lord, for the godly man comes to an end,

for the faithful disappear from sons of men.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) They speak empty words, each with his own neighbor;

they speak with flattering lips and a double heart.

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) The Lord will cut off all flattering lips,

and the tongue that speaks proud things,

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) who have said, "With our tongue will we prevail;

our lips are in our control, who is master over us?"

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) "Because the poor are plundered,

because the needy sigh,

now I will arise," says the Lord;

"I will place him in the safety for which he yearns."

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) The words of the Lord are pure words;

they are silver tried in an earthen furnace

refined seven times.

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) You will keep them, O Lord;

You will preserve them from this generation.

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) The wicked walk on every side,

when the worthless of mankind are exalted.



Psalms 12

[1] Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among

the children of men.

[2] They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and

with a double heart do they speak.

[3] The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh

proud things:

[4] Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own:

who is lord over us?

[5] For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I

arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at

him.

[6] The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of

earth, purified seven times.

[7] Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this

generation for ever.

[8] The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.



PSALMS 13



For the Music Director. A Psalm of David.



1 How long, O Lord? Will You forget me for good?

How long will you hide Your face from me?

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) How long will I harbour cares in my soul

and sorrow in my heart by day?

How long will my enemy loom over me?

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) Take note and answer me, O Lord my God!

Brighten my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death,

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) lest my enemy say, "I have him,"

lest my foes exult when I stumble.

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) I for my part confide in Your kindness;

may my heart exult in Your salvation!

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) I will sing to the Lord,

because He has dealt bountifully with me.



Psalms 13

[1] How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide

thy face from me?

[2] How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart

daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

[3] Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the

sleep of death;

[4] Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that

trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

[5] But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy

salvation.

[6] I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.



PSALMS 28



A Psalm of David.



1 To You, O Lord, will I cry;

my Rock, do not be silent to me;

lest if You were silent to me,

then I would become like those who go down to the pit.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) Hear the voice of my supplications

when I cry to You,

when I lift up my hands

toward Your most holy place.

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) Do not draw me away with the wicked

and with the workers of iniquity,

who speak peace to their neighbours,

but mischief is in their hearts.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) Give them according to their deeds,

and according to the wickedness of their endeavors;

give them according to the work of their hands;

return to them what they deserve.

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) Because they do not regard the works of the Lord,

nor the work of His hands,

He will destroy them

and not build them up.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) Blessed be the Lord,

because He has heard the voice of my supplications.

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) The Lord is my strength and my shield;

my heart trusted in Him, and I was helped;

therefore my heart rejoices,

and with my song I will thank Him.

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) The Lord is the strength of His people,

and He is the saving strength of His anointed.

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) Save Your people,

and bless Your inheritance;

feed them and lift them up forever.



Psalms 28

[1] Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou

be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.

[2] Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up

my hands toward thy holy oracle.

[3] Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity,

which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.

[4] Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of

their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them

their desert.

[5] Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his

hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.

[6] Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my

supplications.

[7] The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am

helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise

him.

[8] The LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his

anointed.

[9] Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift

them up for ever.



PSALMS 55



For the Music Director. With stringed instruments.

A Contemplative Maskil of David.



1 Give ear to my prayer, O God,

and do not hide Yourself from my supplication.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) Attend to me, and answer me;

I am restless in my complaint, and I murmur,

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) because of the voice of the enemy,

because of the pressure of the wicked,

for they cause trouble to drop on me,

and in wrath they have animosity against me.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) My heart is in pain within me,

and the terrors of death have fallen on me.

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) Fear and trembling come into me,

and horror has overwhelmed me.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) I said, "Oh, that I had wings like a dove!

For then I would fly away and be at rest.

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) Indeed, then I would wander far off,

and remain in the wilderness. Selah

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) I would hasten my escape

from the windy storm and tempest."

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) Confuse, O Lord, divide their tongues,

for I have seen violence and strife in the city.

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17 ) Day and night they go around it on its walls;

trouble and sorrow are in its midst.

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) Destruction is in its midst;

oppression and treachery do not depart from its streets.

12 For it is not an enemy who reproachesme;

then I could bear it.

Nor is it one who hates me who has exalted himself against me;

then I could hide from him.

13 But it was you, my peer,

my guide, and my acquaintance.

14 We took pleasant counsel together,

and walked to the house of God in company.

15 May death surprise them,

and may their lives go down to Sheol,

for wickedness is in their dwellings and among them.

16 As for me, I will call on God,

and the Lord will save me.

17 Evening and morning and at noon,

I will make my complaint and murmur,

and He will hear my voice.

18 He has ransomed my life in peace

from the battle against me,

for there were many against me.

19 God will hear and afflict them,

even He who sits enthroned from of old. Selah

Because they do not change,

therefore they do not fear God.

20 My friend has set his hands against those at peace with him;

he has violated his covenant.

21 The words of his mouth were smoother than butter,

but battle was in his heart;

his words were softer than oil,

yet they were drawn swords.

22 Cast your burden on the Lord,

and He will sustain you;

He will never allow

the righteous to be moved.

23 But You, O God, will cast the wicked down

into the pit of destruction;

men of blood and deceitful men

will not live out half their days.

But I will trust in You.



Psalms 55

[1] Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.

[2] Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;

[3] Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the

wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me.

[4] My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen

upon me.

[5] Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed

me.

[6] And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away,

and be at rest.

[7] Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. Selah.

[8] I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.

[9] Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and

strife in the city.

[10] Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also

and sorrow are in the midst of it.

[11] Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from

her streets.

[12] For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it:

neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I

would have hid myself from him:

[13] But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.

[14] We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in

company.

[15] Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for

wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.

[16] As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.

[17] Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he

shall hear my voice.

[18] He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me:

for there were many with me.

[19] God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah.

Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.

[20] He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he

hath broken his covenant.

[21] The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his

heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.

[22] Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall

never suffer the righteous to be moved.

[23] But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction:

bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will

trust in thee.



2) Our Daily Bread for 14 May 2025 Titled

Bring It to God



2 Kings 19:14-20



Hezekiah's Prayer

Isa 37:14-20



14 (Isa 37:14) Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers

and read it. Then Hezekiah went up to the house of the Lord

and spread it before the Lord.

15 (Ex 25:22; 1Ki 18:39 )Then Hezekiah prayed before the Lord and said,

"O Lord, God of Israel, who sits on the cherubim, You alone are God over

all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made the sky and the earth.

16 (2Ki 19:4; 2Ch 6:40) Incline, O Lord, Your ear and hear. Open,

O Lord, Your eyes and see. Hear the words of Sennacherib,

which he sent to taunt the living God.

17 "Surely, O Lord, the kings of Assyria have

annihilated the nations and their lands

18 (Ac 17:29; Isa 44:9-20) and have put their gods in the fire,

for they were no gods but the work of men's hands, wood and stone;

thus they have been destroyed.

19 (1Ki 8:43; Ps 83:18) So now, O Lord our God, save us from his hand,

that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You, O Lord, are God alone."



[14] And Hezekiah received the letter of the hand of the messengers, and

read it: and Hezekiah went up into the house of the LORD, and spread it

before the LORD.

[15] And Hezekiah prayed before the LORD, and said, O LORD God of Israel,

which dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou alone, of

all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made heaven and earth.

[16] LORD, bow down thine ear, and hear: open, LORD, thine eyes, and see:

and hear the words of Sennacherib, which hath sent him to reproach the

living God.

[17] Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have destroyed the nations and

their lands,

[18] And have cast their gods into the fire: for they were no gods, but the

work of men's hands, wood and stone: therefore they have destroyed them.

[19] Now therefore, O LORD our God, I beseech thee, save thou us out of his

hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the LORD

God, even thou only.



20 (2Ki 20:5) Then Isaiah son of Amoz sent word to Hezekiah, saying,

"Thus says the Lord God of Israel: That which you have prayed to Me

concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria I have heard."



[20] Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the

LORD God of Israel, That which thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib

king of Assyria I have heard.



Today's Devotional



Brian had been with the heart specialist for more than an hour.

His friend remained in the waiting room, praying for wisdom

and healing for his ailing friend. When Brian finally returned

to the waiting room, he showed him the pile of papers he'd received.

As he spread them out on a table, he discussed the various options

being considered to treat his threatening condition.

The two discussed the need to pray and ask God for wisdom

for next steps. And then Brian said,

"Whatever lies ahead, I'm in God's hands."



King Hezekiah "spread [a letter] out before the Lord" (2 Kings 19:14).

The words in the letter didn't address a threatening medical condition

but the threat of a powerful enemy - Assyria - that had seized

all the fortified cities of Judah and was preparing to attack

Jerusalem, its capital. Hezekiah prayed,

"You alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth. . . .

Now, Lord our God, deliver us" (vv. 15, 19). Soon the prophet Isaiah

sent a message to Hezekiah, telling him, "The Lord . . . says:

I have heard your prayer" (v. 20). And "that night"

God destroyed the Assyrian army (v. 35).



Whatever you face today, spread it out before God.

As you "present your requests to God" (Philippians 4:6),

He hears you and is with you. You can rest in His hands

as you experience His wisdom, love, and hope.



Reflect & Pray



What will it mean for you to spread out before

God the concerns on your heart today?

How can you choose to rest in His power and presence?



Loving God, thank You for hearing me when I bring my concerns to You.



We can depend on God as our good shepherd.

3) Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools



Week 7 Promises of Grace - Day 4 - Giving and Receiving



Luke 6:38



38 "Give, and it will be given to you: Good measure, pressed down,

shaken together, and running over will men give unto you.

For with the measure you use, it will be measured unto you."



38 give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down,

and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom.

For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured

to you again.



"Just give the Lord", the voice on the radio declared. "Give, and he will

give back to you, a hundredfold." The preacher went on to explain how

an old woman on social security had sent her last $10 to support his

ministry, and the next day she got an anonymous money order for

a $1000 . "The Lord will be faithful to his Word," the preacher

concluded. "You give, and you'll receive."

The Lord is, of course, faithful to his Word. But many well-meaning Christians

have interpreted Luke 6:38 as a "payment in kind" bargain with God:

if I give God my dollar, he's obliged to return it to me with interest.

This "seed-sowing" fallacy, where $20 supposedly becomes $2000 by

an act of divine, multiplication, has caused much

disappointment and frustration.

The "giving and receiving" principle is a valid one; the Lord does, indeed say

"Give, and it will be given to you," but he does not specify what the "return"

will be. The verse appears in the context of forgiveness, of not judging; the

principle is not investment, in any material sense, but generosity.

As we give, as few are compassionate with others, we take on the

character of the Lord himself. He is generous and giving, and he gives

to us as we give ourselves in love to others.



Application



a) Have I ever "given" to God to others as a bribe, to get something

in return?



b) What is God's concept of giving, as demonstrated

in the gift of Jesus Christ?



c) How can this verse help me to give more selflessly?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Is 55:11



11 (Isa 45:23; 46:10) so shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;

it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please,

and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.



11 so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth:

it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please,

and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.



5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:



When you are ill or injured



James 5:13-16



13 (Ps 50:15; Eph 5:19) Is anyone among you suffering?

Let him pray. Is anyone merry? Let him sing psalms.

14 (Mk 6:13; 16:18; Ac 14:23) Is anyone sick among you?

Let him call for the elders of the church,

and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil

in the name of the Lord.

15 (Isa 33:24; Jas 1:6) And the prayer of faith will save

the sick, and the Lord will raise him up.

And if he has committed any sins, he will be forgiven.

16 (Ge 20:17; 18:23-32) Confess your faults to one another

and pray for one another, that you may be healed.

The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man accomplishes much.



13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray.

Is any merry? let him sing psalms.

14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church;

and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:

15 and the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise

him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another,

that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man

availeth much.



Remember God's promises when You pray



The Lord's prayer



Matthew 6:9-13



9 "Therefore pray in this manner:

Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.

12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,

as we forgive our debtors.

13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."



9 After this manner therefore pray ye:

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.



6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2022 edition?)



Ontario



Quick facts on Muslims in Ontario



Ontario 2015 population 13 687 7000



est Muslim Population 1 001 542



CNMM Networks: Ottawa, Durham, York, Toronto, Mississauga, Halton, Hamilton,

Niagara, Kitchener, London, Windsor



Ontario has 55% of all of Canada's entire Muslim population. This means that

the whole of the Muslim world is represented somewhere in this province. Most

Muslims are understandably located along the southern border stretching

from Windsor eastward all the way up to Ottawa. Yet Muslims are constantly

resettling in more and more suburban and even small towns of Ontario. Mosques

are springing up, and where there are enough gathered, Islamic schools

are starting.

And they're not complacent, either. Many Islamic leaders are energetic in their

advancement of Islam in Canadian society. Recently in the Niagara Region,

the local mosque distributed via Canada Post as many as 50000 full-colour

brochures on Islam. An that mosque's Facebook page proudly show pictures of

"reverts", or white Canadians who have converted to Islam as a result of

receiving the flier and engaging with the mosque community. Another town

reports Muslims going door-to-door evangelism.

Agree in prayer for:



- net network leaders - the need is great

- the development of network leadership teams

- good connections with local pastors, congregations and individuals

whom God is calling into this ministry.

- wisdom facilitating outreach and training activities for mobilising

believers

- new full and part-time workers among Muslims throughout all these areas

- for pastors and churches to respond not in fear, but full of faith and love

towards Muslims, sharing Jesus with them.



Adding further



30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020



Under the Keep Praying page



When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month

and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days

of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that

usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,

of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be

decorated and festivals will be held.



For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the

distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of

Islam.



You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",

which means Blessed Eid!"



Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you

know, and Muslims around the world:



- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions

in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about

unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such

movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three

decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim

relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.

Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,

"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;

your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.

18 Even on My menservants and maidservants

I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.

19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:

blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,

and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.

21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]

And



Thank you for praying through the

5 Days of Prayer for Sikhs.



"My name is Kam. I'm 29 years of age, and I grew up Sikh. As a teenager,

I struggled with depression, brokenness, and addiction to

cannabis. I didn't know how to stop or how to get help.



Then a friend invited me to church. As I spent time with Christians

and heard the message of the Gospel, I experienced the

love of Jesus Christ, and it was like nothing I'd known before.

One night I had a dream where I saw Him - a figure surrounded by

light who I knew was Jesus, the light of the world.



As I began to understand the gospel message, I encountered a reassuring and

confident solution to the problem of sin. I knew that I needed a solution

to my sin problem, and I gave my life to Christ.



Slowly, God began to heal my broken heart and my addiction.

Nine years have passed, and I am a devoted husband and a father

to two beautiful boys. I grow deeper in love with Jesus each day.



I ask you to continue praying with me, and others around the world, for Sikhs.

God is the only one who can draw people to Himself. He works in and through

the prayers of His people. I want Sikhs to know the freedom

and healing that is only available through Jesus Christ."



13 (Ro 14:17; 12:12) Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy

and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope,

through the power of the Holy Spirit.



[13] Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that

ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

Doctor Who The Robot Revolution as Reviewed by AL Generators.



Al Generator ChatGPt what do you think?



**Doctor Who: The Robot Revolution**

**Rating: 7/10**



**Review:**

The Robot Revolution is a wild, ambitious, and at times touching entry

into the Doctor Who mythos — blending emotional time travel,

cultural identity, and the age-old threat of a machine uprising.



Starting in 2008, we meet Belinda Charma, an Indo-British woman sharing

a tender moment with her partner, Allen, who gifts her

a star certificate - a seemingly small gesture that turns out to have

cosmic consequences. The leap to 2025 sets the stage for the chaos

to come: Belinda, now an NHS nurse, finds her world shaken when

a spaceship crashes into her neighbourhood

and a robot - cold and lethal - hunts her down,

vaporizing her cat in a surprisingly dark twist.



What follows is pure Who: she's abducted and crowned queen

of a distant planet thanks to her star certificate (brilliant sci-fi logic),

while the Doctor - in full Scottish regalia, no less - storms in to save her,

encountering old friend (or foe?) Mrs. Flood and landing

in the thick of a robot-human uprising.



There's a manic energy to the middle act: robots with evaporator guns,

an AI demanding marriage, humans rebelling, and the Doctor disguising

himself as a servant to unravel the secrets of the planet. Amidst this,

the episode threads some genuinely cool concepts - AI-controlled hospitals

with X-ray blankets, a 2-hearted reveal to Belinda, and the devastating twist

that Allen, her 2008 love, has been assimilated into the machine empire.



The Doctor, ever the wandering historian, provides needed exposition while

the story barrels forward, occasionally skimming the edge of confusion.

Belinda proves a strong character, stepping up in the climax to face

the AI overlord AL Generator and navigate her feelings for Allen,

now part-human, part-machine.



The resolution is a bit rushed - everything is "set free" with a touch

of typical Who handwavery - but it ends on a tantalising note.

Belinda sees the TARDIS for the first time, but as the Doctor prepares

to return her to May 24, 2025… the Cloister Bell rings.

Something ominous lies ahead.



**Verdict:**



The Robot Revolution is an energetic and emotionally charged episode,

balancing classic sci-fi tropes with personal stakes.

While the plot can get overstuffed and slightly chaotic,

the emotional core around Belinda and Allen anchors it well.

Bonus points for blending NHS reality with deep-future madness

and keeping the tone both tragic and playful.



**Score: 7/10**



(*Great characters, solid emotional payoff, slightly overloaded

plot but with lots of fun and flair.*)



Al ChatGPT , I do not recall the Doctor in Scottish

getup when he arrives to saves Belinda.



Al Generator Google Gemini what do you think?



Here's a review of "The Robot Revolution," based on your notes:



**"The Robot Revolution" Review**



"The Robot Revolution" is a whirlwind of time-hopping adventure,

packed with familiar Doctor Who tropes and a few new twists.

The episode centers on Belinda Charma, an Indo-British woman

whose life becomes intertwined with the Doctor's across centuries,

all thanks to a mysterious "Star Certificate."



The story kicks off in 2008, with a seemingly ordinary night for Belinda,

then jumps to 2025, where she's an NHS nurse and the Doctor, in Scottish

attire, is causing chaos. A spaceship and menacing robots disrupt

her life, triggered by the Star Certificate that seemingly makes

her royalty on some distant planet.



The episode throws in a lot: a planet ruled by robots who demand

obedience, an AI generator wanting to get married, a captured character

from the past (Allan from 2008), and the return of Mrs. Flood.

The Doctor, as always, is in the thick of it, trying to unravel

the mystery and save the day.



The plot is fast-paced, bouncing between timelines and locations.

While this keeps things exciting, it can also feel a bit cluttered.

The episode touches on themes of destiny, free will,

and the dangers of unchecked AI, but these ideas sometimes

get lost in the action.



Belinda is a strong and resourceful character, and her connection

to the Doctor is intriguing. The robots are suitably menacing,

and the AI generator's desire for marriage adds a quirky,

Doctor Who-esque element.



However, the episode does have some weaknesses.

The rapid-fire plot can be confusing at times,

and some of the elements, like the "Star Certificate" and the robots'

motivations, could be fleshed out more. The ending, with the Doctor

and Belinda heading back to a specific date and the Cloister Bell

ringing, sets up a cliffhanger but doesn't fully resolve the immediate story.



**Overall:**



"The Robot Revolution" is a fun, if somewhat messy, Doctor Who adventure.

It's packed with ideas and action, but it could benefit from a tighter focus

and clearer explanations.



**Rating:** 7/10



AL Generator Google Gemini you never address the Ending.



My take: 5/10



How did Allen neighbourhood not recognise a robot presence?



What was the Doctor doing on the hospital?



Special Effects and mechanical beings too much from Disney.



Why I am staying around for the next 7 - What is blockng

the TARDIS from returning Belinda.

**Key Themes and Observations:**



**Social Satire:**

The episode serves as a sharp social commentary, drawing parallels to our own reliance on technology and social media "bubbles."

It explores how these bubbles can create echo chambers, isolating individuals and fostering insular, even harmful, worldviews.

**Dystopian Setting:**

The seemingly utopian environment of Finetime is revealed to be a claustrophobic and dangerous dystopia.

The "dot and bubble" technology, while presented as a convenience, ultimately infantilizes and controls the residents.

**Moral Ambiguity:**

The episode challenges viewers by presenting a morally complex situation.

The actions of the residents, while abhorrent, are shown to be a product of their environment, raising questions about individual responsibility versus societal influence.

**Strong Performances:**

Callie Cooke delivers a compelling performance as Lindy, capturing the character's superficiality and underlying vulnerability.

Ncuti Gatwa continues to impress as the Doctor, showcasing his range and emotional depth.

**Twist and Commentary:**

The ending of the episode is a very strong twist, that forces the viewer to re-evaluate what they have been watching.

The episode has been seen to be a commentary on racism, and how people can be within an echo chamber that reinforces those views.

"Dot and Bubble" is a bold and thought-provoking episode that pushes the boundaries of Doctor Who.

It effectively blends social satire, dystopian elements, and horror, creating a chilling and memorable experience.

The episode's ending is particularly impactful, leaving viewers with a sense of unease and prompting reflection on contemporary society.



In essence, "Dot and Bubble" is an episode that sticks with you. It's designed to make you think, and it does so very effectively.



"Dot and Bubble" is an episode of the newest Doctor Who series that has generated a lot of discussion. Here's a breakdown of its key aspects, drawing from available reviews:



Key Themes and Observations:



Social Satire:

The episode heavily satirizes modern social media culture, highlighting the dangers of living within "bubbles" and the isolation that can result.

It critiques the superficiality and shallowness often found in online interactions.

Twists and Turns:

The episode begins with a seemingly straightforward critique of technology, but it takes a dark and unexpected turn towards its conclusion.

The ending reveals a deeper layer of social commentary, particularly concerning prejudice and xenophobia.

Character Dynamics:

The character of Lindy Pepper-Bean is designed to be initially unlikeable, which serves a specific purpose in the episode's overall message.

The Doctor's reactions and attempts to help are central to the episode's emotional impact.

Technical Aspects:

The episode uses visual effects and set design to create the claustrophobic and artificial world of "Finetime."

Performances, particularly by Callie Cooke as Lindy and Ncuti Gatwa as the Doctor, are noted as strong.

Overall Impression:



"Dot and Bubble" is considered a very strong episode by many critics. It is an episode that lures the viewer into a false sense of security, and then strikes with a very strong message. It is an episode that will have viewers thinking about it long after it has finished.



Factors to Consider:



The episode's tone shifts significantly, which may be jarring for some viewers.

The social commentary is not subtle, which some may find refreshing and others may find heavy-handed.

The ending is very dark, and may be disturbing to some viewers.

Rating:



Because of the very strong shift in tone, and the very dark ending, I will rate "Dot and Bubble" a 85/100. It is a very well written episode, that is very effective in what it is trying to do.

"Space Babies" is a divisive episode of Doctor Who. It's a bold experiment that pushes the boundaries of the show, but it doesn't always land.



**Strengths:**



**Unique Concept:** The premise of a spaceship populated by talking babies is undeniably unique and certainly memorable. It's a concept that wouldn't have been possible in earlier eras of Doctor Who.

**Ncuti Gatwa's Performance:** Ncuti Gatwa continues to shine as the Fourteenth Doctor, bringing his signature charisma and energy to the role. He embraces the absurdity of the situation with aplomb.

**Visual Spectacle:** The episode is visually striking, with impressive CGI and some creative set pieces.



**Weaknesses:**



**Uneven Tone:** The episode struggles to find a consistent tone. It veers wildly from playful and whimsical to genuinely unsettling, sometimes within the same scene.

**Unconvincing CGI:** While the CGI is generally impressive, the talking baby models sometimes look a bit uncanny valley and can be distracting.

**Limited Character Development:** Beyond the Doctor and Ruby, the other characters are underdeveloped and serve primarily as plot devices.

**Weak Plot:** The plot itself is rather thin and predictable, relying heavily on the novelty of the talking babies.



**Overall Impression:**



"Space Babies" is an ambitious but ultimately flawed episode of Doctor Who. It's a bold experiment that pushes the boundaries of the show, but it suffers from tonal inconsistencies, a weak plot, and some unconvincing CGI.



**Rating:**



Considering the strengths and weaknesses, I'd rate "Space Babies" a **6/10**. It's an entertaining episode with some memorable moments, but it ultimately fails to reach its full potential.



**Breakdown for viewers:**



**For fans who enjoy unique and experimental Doctor Who stories:** 7/10 or even 7.5/10

* **For fans who prefer more traditional Doctor Who stories with strong plots and character development:** 5/10 or 5.5/10

**Strong Performances:** David Tennant and Catherine Tate deliver strong performances, capturing the fear and desperation of their situation.

**Exploration of Isolation:** The episode explores the psychological impact of isolation and the human need for connection.



**Weaknesses:**



**Inconsistent Pacing:** The pacing is uneven, with some sections feeling slow and others feeling rushed.

It's an episode that will likely divide viewers, with some finding it to be a chilling and unforgettable experience, while others find it to be underwhelming and confusing.



**Rating:**



Considering the strengths and weaknesses, I'd rate "The Wild Blue Yonder" a **7/10**. It's an ambitious episode with some strong ideas, but it suffers from pacing issues and an uneven execution.

I hope this review is helpful!

"The Star Beast" is a bit of a mixed bag for many Doctor Who fans. It's a celebratory special for the show's 60th anniversary, but it struggles to find its footing and lacks the emotional resonance of some previous specials.

**Visual Spectacle:** The episode boasts impressive visuals, with stunning CGI and a cinematic scope.

**David Tennant and Catherine Tate's Chemistry:** The chemistry between David Tennant and Catherine Tate is undeniable, and their return as the Tenth Doctor and Donna Noble is a highlight for many viewers.



**Weaknesses:**



**Overstuffed and Disjointed:** The episode feels overstuffed with ideas, trying to cram in too many elements and fan service moments. This leads to a disjointed and somewhat chaotic narrative.

**Lack of Focus:** The plot itself is rather thin and predictable, often overshadowed by the nostalgia factor.

**Underwhelming Villain:** The Star Beast itself is somewhat underwhelming, lacking the menace and originality of some of Doctor Who's most iconic villains.

**Emotional Impact:** Despite the return of beloved characters, the episode lacks the emotional depth and resonance of previous anniversary specials.



**Overall Impression:**



"The Star Beast" is a visually impressive but ultimately underwhelming Doctor Who special. While it offers some nostalgic pleasures and enjoyable moments, it fails to live up to the expectations of a 60th-anniversary celebration.



**Rating:**



Considering the strengths and weaknesses, I'd rate "The Star Beast" a **6.5/10**. It's a decent episode, but it feels more like a missed opportunity to deliver a truly special and memorable celebration.



**Breakdown for viewers:**



**For die-hard fans who will enjoy the nostalgia and cameos:** 7/10 or even 7.5/10

* **For viewers seeking a strong story, compelling villains, and a truly memorable anniversary special:** 5/10 or 6/10



This review reflects the general consensus among fans and critics.

"Twice Upon a Time" is a significant Doctor Who Christmas special,

marking the end of Peter Capaldi's era .



**Strengths:**



**Emotional Farewell:** The episode provides a fitting and emotional farewell

to the Twelfth Doctor, exploring his grief, his regrets, and his ultimate

acceptance of change.

**Passing of the Torch:** The regeneration sequence is beautifully executed,

capturing the Doctor's fear and uncertainty as he faces the unknown.

**The Return of the First Doctor:** The return of the First Doctor (played

by David Bradley) adds a nostalgic touch and provides a poignant passing of

the torch between the oldest and newest incarnations.

**Exploration of Mortality:** The episode explores the themes of mortality,

loss, and the importance of hope, making it a thought-provoking

and emotionally resonant experience.



**Weaknesses:**



**Pacing:** The episode can feel slow-paced at times,

particularly in the first half.



**Overly Sentimental:** Some viewers may find the episode overly

sentimental, with the focus on farewells and nostalgia potentially

overshadowing the story itself.



**Overall Impression:**



"Twice Upon a Time" is a significant episode in Doctor Who history, marking a

turning point for the series. It's a poignant and emotional farewell to the

Twelfth Doctor and a promising introduction to the Thirteenth.



**Rating:**



Considering the emotional impact, strong performances, and some pacing issues,

I'd rate "Twice Upon a Time" an **85/100**. It's a memorable and significant

episode that will be remembered as a turning point for the series.



**Breakdown for viewers:**



**For fans who enjoy emotional farewells, strong character moments,

and the exploration of Doctor Who's history:** 90/100 or even 95/100

**For fans who prefer faster-paced action and less emphasis

on sentimentality:** 75/100 or 80/100



**Note:** This review incorporates the retcon of the Timeless Child,

replacing the original regeneration sequence with the return

of the Tenth Doctor (David Tennant). This alternative ending provides

a different perspective on the episode and highlights the impact of the

Timeless Child retcon on viewers' interpretations.

"Twice Upon a Time" is a poignant and emotionally resonant Christmas

special that serves as a fitting send-off for Peter Capaldi's Twelfth Doctor.

Here's a review with the altered regeneration sequence:



**Strengths:**



**Emotional Core:** The episode is emotionally charged, exploring themes of

loss, acceptance, and the enduring nature of hope. The interactions between

the Twelfth Doctor and the First Doctor are particularly touching.



**Peter Capaldi's Performance:** Capaldi delivers a powerful and moving

performance, conveying the Doctor's weariness, acceptance, and ultimately,

his joy at the prospect of regeneration.



**David Tennant's Return:** The surprise return of David Tennant as the

Tenth Doctor provides a delightful and unexpected twist, offering a sense of

closure for both characters and fans.



**Visual Spectacle:** The episode is visually stunning,

with impressive special effects and breathtaking imagery.



**Weaknesses:**



**Pacing:** The pacing can feel uneven at times, with some sections

dragging while others feel rushed.



**Retconning (in the original version):** The original version of the

episode introduced the controversial "Timeless Child" retcon, which was

later largely disregarded by the show. The amended version, with the

return of the Tenth Doctor, avoids this and provides a more satisfying

and consistent conclusion to the Twelfth Doctor's era.



**Overall Impression:**



"Twice Upon a Time" is a poignant and emotionally satisfying Christmas

special. While the original version had some divisive elements, the amended

version provides a more cohesive and enjoyable viewing experience. It's a

fitting farewell to Peter Capaldi's Doctor and a heartwarming celebration

of the Doctor's enduring spirit.



**Rating:**



Considering the emotional impact, strong performances, and the improved

narrative flow with the amended regeneration sequence, I'd rate "Twice Upon

a Time" an **8.5/10**. It's a memorable and moving Christmas special that will

resonate with many Doctor Who fans.



**Breakdown for viewers:**



**For fans who appreciate emotional stories, strong character

moments, and fitting farewells:** 9/10 or even 9.5/10



**For fans who were critical of the original "Timeless Child"

retcon:** 9/10 or even 9.5/10



* **For viewers who prefer faster pacing and less focus on emotional

introspection:** 7.5/10 or 8/10



This review reflects the revised version of the episode with the return

of the Tenth Doctor, which many fans consider to be a more satisfying

conclusion to the Twelfth Doctor's era.
