The Healing of a Blind Man at Bethsaida



22 (Mt 11:21; Mk 6:45) He came to Bethsaida. And they brought a blind man

to Him and entreated Him to touch him.

23 (Mk 7:33; 5:23) He took the blind man by the hand

and led him out of the town. When He had spit on his eyes

and put His hands on him, He asked him, "Do you see anything?"

24 He looked up and said, "I see men as trees, walking."

25 Then again He put His hands on his eyes and made him look up.

And he was restored and saw everyone clearly.

26 (Mt 8:4) He sent him home away to his house, saying,

"Neither go into the town, nor tell it to anyone in the town."



Peter's Declaration About Jesus

Mt 16:13-20; Lk 9:18-21



27 (Lk 9:18-20) Jesus and His disciples went out into the towns

of Caesarea Philippi. On the way He asked His disciples,

"Who do men say that I am?"

28 (Mal 4:5; Mt 14:2) They answered, "John the Baptist, but some say,

Elijah; and others, one of the prophets."

29 (Jn 6:69; 11:27) He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"

Peter answered Him, "You are the Christ."

30 (Mt 16:20; Lk 9:21) He warned them that they should tell no one about Him.





[22] And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and

besought him to touch him.

[23] And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and

when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he

saw ought.

[24] And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.

[25] After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up:

and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.

[26] And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town,

nor tell it to any in the town.

[27] And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea

Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do

men say that I am?

[28] And they answered, John the Baptist: but some say, Elias; and others,

One of the prophets.

[29] And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth

and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.

[30] And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.



Matthew 16:13-20



Peter's Declaration About Jesus

Mk 8:27-30; Lk 9:18-21



13 (Lk 9:18-20; Mt 8:20) When Jesus came into the region of Caes­area

Philippi, He asked His disciples, "Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?"

14 (Mt 14:2; Mk 6:15) They said, "Some say that You are John the Baptist,

others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets."

15 He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"

16 (Ps 42:2; Jn 11:27) Simon Peter replied, "You are the Christ,

the Son of the living God."

17 (Gal 1:16; Jn 1:42; 21:15-17) Jesus answered him,

"Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for flesh and blood

has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.

18 (Jn 1:42; Job 38:17) And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock

I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.

19 (Mt 18:18; Isa 22:22; Jn 20:23) I will give you the keys of the kingdom

of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven,

and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."

20 (Mk 8:30; Lk 9:21) Then He commanded His disciples to tell no one

that He was Jesus the Christ.



[13] When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his

disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?

[14] And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias;

and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.

[15] He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?

[16] And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the

living God.

[17] And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona:

for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is

in heaven.

[18] And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I

will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

[19] And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and

whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever

thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

[20] Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was

Jesus the Christ.



Luke 9:18-20



Peter's Declaration About Jesus

Mt 16:13-19; Mk 8:27-29



18 (Mt 16:13-16; Lk 11:1) As He was alone praying, His disciples were

with Him. And He asked them, "Who do the people say that I am?"

19 (Lk 9:7-8; Mt 14:2) They answered, "John the Baptist.

But some say Elijah. And others say that one of the old prophets has risen."

20 (Jn 1:49; 11:27) He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"

Peter answered, "The Christ of God."



[18] And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with

him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am?

[19] They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others

say, that one of the old prophets is risen again.

[20] He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The

Christ of God.



Mark 8:31-38



Jesus Foretells His Death and Resurrection

Mt 16:21-18; Lk 9:22-27



31 (Mt 12:40; Mk 10:33-34) He began to teach them that the Son of Man

must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders

and the chief priests and the scribes, and be killed,

and after three days rise again.

32 (Jn 16:25; 16:29) He said this openly. And Peter took Him

and began to rebuke Him.

33 (Mt 4:10; Php 3:19) But when He had turned around

and looked at His disciples, He rebuked Peter, saying,

"Get behind Me, Satan! For you are not mindful of the things of God,

but the things of men."

34 (Mt 10:38) When He had called the people to Him, with His disciples,

He said to them, "If any man would come after Me,

let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me.

35 (Mt 10:39; Lk 17:33) For whoever would save his life will lose it.

But whoever would lose his life for My sake and the gospel's will save it.

36 For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world

and loses his own soul?

37 (Ps 49:7-8) Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

38 (Mt 16:27; 25:31) Whoever therefore is ashamed of Me

and of My words in this adulterous and sinful generation,

of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed when He comes

in the glory of His Father with the holy angels."



[31] And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many

things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and

scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

[32] And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to

rebuke him.

[33] But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked

Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things

that be of God, but the things that be of men.

[34] And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he

said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take

up his cross, and follow me.

[35] For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall

lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.

[36] For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and

lose his own soul?

[37] Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

[38] Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this

adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be

ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.



Mark 9:1



1 (Mt 25:31; 16:28) And He said to them,

"Truly I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death

before they see the kingdom of God come with power."



[1] And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them

that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the

kingdom of God come with power.



Matthew 16:21-28



Jesus Foretells His Death and Resurrection

Mk 8:31-9:1; Lk 9:22-27



21 (Mt 17:22-23; 27:63; 17:12) From that time on, Jesus began to show

His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things

from the elders and chief priests and scribes,

and be killed, and be raised on the third day.

22 Then Peter took Him and began rebuking Him, saying,

"Far be it from You, Lord! This shall not happen to You."

23 (Mt 4:10; Mk 8:33) But He turned and said to Peter,

"Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful

of the things that are of God, but those that are of men."

24 (Mt 10:38; Lk 14:27) Then Jesus said to His disciples,

"If anyone will come after Me, let him deny himself,

and take up his cross, and follow Me.

25 (Mt 10:39; Jn 12:25) For whoever would save his life will lose it,

and whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.

26 (Ps 49:7-8; Lk 12:20) For what will it profit a man

if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul?

Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

27 (Ro 2:6; 2Co 5:10) For the Son of Man shall come with His angels

in the glory of His Father, and then He will repay every man

according to his works.

28 (Mt 10:23; 26:64) Truly I say to you, there are some standing here who

shall not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom."



[21] From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that

he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief

priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.

[22] Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from

thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.

[23] But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art

an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but

those that be of men.

[24] Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let

him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

[25] For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose

his life for my sake shall find it.

[26] For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose

his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

[27] For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his

angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.

[28] Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not

taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.



Luke 9:21-27



Jesus Foretells His Death and Resurrection

Mt 16:20-28; Mk 8:30-9:1



21 (Mt 16:20) Jesus strictly commanded them to tell no one of this,

22 (Lk 24:7; Mt 17:12) saying, "The Son of Man must suffer many things,

and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes,

and be killed, and be raised the third day."

23 (Mt 10:38-39) Then He said to them all, "If anyone will come after Me,

let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.

24 (Lk 17:33) For whoever will save his life will lose it, but whoever

loses his life for My sake will save it.

25 For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world,

yet loses or forfeits himself?

26 (Mt 16:27; 25:31) For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words,

of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when He comes in His own glory

and in the glory of His Father and of the holy angels.

27 (Mt 16:28; Heb 2:9) "But I tell you truly, there are some standing here

who shall not taste death before they see the kingdom of God."



[21] And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that

thing;

[22] Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the

elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third

day.

[23] And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny

himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

[24] For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose

his life for my sake, the same shall save it.

[25] For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose

himself, or be cast away?

[26] For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the

Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his

Father's, and of the holy angels.

[27] But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not

taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.



Mark 9:2-13



2 (Mk 5:37; Lk 9:28-36) After six days Jesus took with Him Peter and James

and John and led them up a high mountain, alone by themselves.

And He was transfigured before them.

3 (Mt 28:3; Da 7:9) His garments became shiny, extremely white as snow,

such as no launderer on earth could whiten them.

4 And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses.

And they were talking with Jesus.

5 Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here.

Let us make three sanctuaries: one for You, and one for Moses,

and one for Elijah."

6 For he did not know what to say, because they were very afraid.

7 (Mt 3:17; 2Pe 1:17) Then a cloud overshadowed them,

and a voice came out of the cloud, saying,

"This is My beloved Son. Listen to Him."

8 Suddenly, when they looked around, they no longer saw anyone

with them except ­Jesus only.

9 (Mk 5:43) As they came down the mountain, He warned them to tell

no one what they had seen, until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

10 They kept that statement to themselves, questioning each other

what the rising from the dead meant.

11 (Mt 11:14; Mal 4:5) And they asked Him,

"Why do the scribes say that Elijah must first come?"

12 (Lk 23:11; Zec 13:7) He answered, "Elijah indeed comes first to restore

all things. Yet how is it written of the Son of Man that He should suffer

many things and be treated with contempt?

13 (Mt 11:14) But I say to you that Elijah has indeed come,

and they have done to him whatever they wished, as it is written of him."



[2] And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and

leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was

transfigured before them.

[3] And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller

on earth can white them.

[4] And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking

with Jesus.

[5] And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be

here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses,

and one for Elias.

[6] For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid.

[7] And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of

the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.

[8] And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any

more, save Jesus only with themselves.

[9] And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they

should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen

from the dead.

[10] And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another

what the rising from the dead should mean.

[11] And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elias must first

come?

[12] And he answered and told them, Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth

all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer

many things, and be set at nought.

[13] But I say unto you, That Elias is indeed come, and they have done unto

him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him.



Matthew 17:1-13



The Transfiguration

Mk 9:2-13; Lk 9:28-36



1 (Mt 26:37; Mk 5:37) After six days Jesus took Peter, James,

and John his brother and brought them up to a high mountain alone,

2 (Ps 104:2; Mt 28:3) and was transfigured before them. His face shone

as the sun, and His garments became white as the light.

3 Suddenly Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him.

4 (Lk 9:33) Then Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here.

If You wish, let us make three tabernacles here: one for You, one for Moses,

and one for Elijah."

5 (Mt 3:17; Isa 42:1) While he was still speaking, suddenly a bright cloud

overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, "This is My beloved Son,

with whom I am well pleased. Listen to Him."

6 (2Pe 1:18) When the disciples heard this, they fell on their faces

and were filled with awe.

7 (Da 8:18; 10:10) But ­Jes­us came and touched them and said,

"Rise, and do not be afraid."

8 When they lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only.

9 (Mk 8:30) As they came down the mountain, Jesus commanded them,

"Tell the vision to no one until the Son of Man is risen from the dead."

10 (Mt 11:14; Mal 4:5-6) His disciples asked Him,

"Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

11 (Lk 1:16-17; Mal 4:6) Jesus answered,

"Elijah truly does first come and will restore all things.

12 (Mt 16:21) But I tell you that Elijah has already come, and they did not

know him, but did to him whatever they pleased. Likewise, the Son of Man

will also suffer at their hands."

13 Then the disciples understood that He was speaking to them of John

the Baptist.



[1] And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and

bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,

[2] And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and

his raiment was white as the light.

[3] And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.

[4] Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be

here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and

one for Moses, and one for Elias.

[5] While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold

a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am

well pleased; hear ye him.

[6] And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore

afraid.

[7] And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.

[8] And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus

only.

[9] And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying,

Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the

dead.

[10] And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that

Elias must first come?

[11] And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come,

and restore all things.

[12] But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not,

but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son

of man suffer of them.

[13] Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the

Baptist.



Luke 9:28-36



The Transfiguration

Mt 17:1-8; Mk 9:2-8



28 (Lk 6:12; 8:51) About eight days after these sayings, He took Peter

and John and James and went up onto a mountain to pray.

29 As He prayed, the appearance of His countenance was altered,

and His clothing was white and glistening.

30 And suddenly two men were talking with Him, who were Moses and Elijah,

31 who appeared in glory and spoke of His departure

which He was to accomplish in Jerusalem.

32 (Da 8:18; Jn 1:14) Peter and those who were with him

were heavy with sleep. But waking thoroughly, they saw His glory

and the two men who stood with Him.

33 (Mk 9:5-6)As they departed from Him, Peter said to Jesus,

"Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three sanctuaries:

one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah,"

not knowing what he said.

34 While he was speaking, a cloud came and overshadowed them.

And they were afraid as they entered the cloud.

35 (Mt 3:17; Isa 42:1) A voice came from out of the cloud, saying,

"This is My beloved Son. Listen to Him."

36 (Mt 17:9) When the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone.

They kept silent and told no one in those days anything they had seen.



[28] And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took

Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.

[29] And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his

raiment was white and glistering.

[30] And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:

[31] Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should

accomplish at Jerusalem.

[32] But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when

they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.

[33] And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus,

Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one

for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said.

[34] While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and

they feared as they entered into the cloud.

[35] And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved

Son: hear him.

[36] And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it

close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had

seen.



2) Our Daily Bread for 10 October 2022



Entitled "Happy Thanksgiving"



Philippians 4:4-7





Philippians 4



4 (Php 3:1; Ro 12:12) Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!

5 (Jas 5:8-9) Let everyone come to know your gentleness. The Lord is at hand.

6 (Eph 6:18; Mt 6:25-33) Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer

and supplication with gratitude, make your requests known to God.

7 (Jn 14:27; Col 3:15; Isa 26:3) And the peace of God, which surpasses all

understanding, will protect your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.



[4] Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.

[5] Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.

[6] Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication

with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

[7] And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your

hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.



A study by psychologist Robert Emmons divided volunteers into three groups

that each made weekly entries in journals. One group wrote five things they

were grateful for. One described five daily hassles. And a control group

listed five events that had impacted them in a small way. The results of the

study revealed that those in the gratitude group felt better about their lives

overall, were more optimistic about the future,

and reported fewer health problems.



Giving thanks has a way of changing the way we look at life.

Thanksgiving can even make us happier.



The Bible has long extolled the benefits of giving thanks to God, as doing so

reminds us of His character. The Psalms repeatedly call God’s people to give

Him thanks because "the Lord is good and his love endures forever"

(Psalm 100:5) and to thank Him for His unfailing love

and wonderful deeds (107:8, 15, 21, 31).



As the apostle Paul closed his letter to the Philippians-the letter itself

a kind of thank-you note to a church that had supported him-he linked thankful

prayers with the peace of God "which transcends all understanding" (4:7). When

we focus on God and His goodness, we find that we can pray without anxiety, in

every situation, with thanksgiving. Giving thanks brings us a peace that

uniquely guards our hearts and minds and changes the way we look at life.

A heart full of gratitude nurtures a spirit of joy.



By: Elisa Morgan



Reflect & Pray



What threatens your sense of gratitude? How is God calling you to a

"happy thanksgiving" as you bring your needs before Him?



Father in heaven, where I see problems,

grant me a spirit of gratitude and grateful praise.

Week 8 Guided by Grace Day 2 - God's purpose: The Image of Christ



Romans 8:28-29



28 (Gal 1:15; Ge 50:20) We know that all things work together for

good to those who love God,

to those who are called according to His purpose.

29 (Ro 11:2; 1Co 15:49; Eph 1:11) For those whom He foreknew,

He predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son,

so that He might be the firstborn among many brothers.



28 And we know that all things work together for good to them

that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed

to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.



A baby dies of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, and the parents are

devastated, plagued with guilt, and Asking "Why?" A 17-year-old plunges

headfirst into a pond and to the surface a quadriplegic. A single mother

of 3, struck down by leukemia, has to release he children to foster homes.

And in all these cases, well-meaning Christians stand by and attempt to

comfort: "All things work together for good, you know," they say blithely,

"just trust God, and praise him for everything."

Such pat answers are often repeated because they do contain an element

of truth; they become "pat", meaningless, and superficial, when they are

used as a panacea for all ills, whether the cure fits or not.

The truth is, God does use everything for the benefit of his people -

even disaster and tragedy. Romans 8:28 says, "Ian all things God works ...."

God foes not cause human suffering. He is not the author of pain

and misery. But what the Enemy of our souls intends for

destruction, God can use for growth.

The key to understanding Romans 8:28 is Romans 8:29 . The Lord makes

clear what "his purpose" is: that we be "conformed to the

likeness of his Son." Everything that happens is not good,

but nothing is wasted in the economy of God. Even the sorrow,

misfortune, and calamity that strike all of us cam be used by the Spirit

to transform us into the image of Christ.

Joshua 1:8



8 (Ps 19:14; 119:15) This Book of the Law must not depart from your mouth.

Meditate on it day and night so that you may act carefully according to all

that is written in it. For then you will make your way successful,

and you will be wise.

meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according

and then thou shalt have good success.



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



When you are discouraged or Depressed



Matthew 11: 25-30



25 (Ps 8:2; Jn 11:41) At that time Jesus said, "I thank You, O Father,

Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things

from the wise and prudent and revealed them to infants.

26 Even so, Father, for it seemed good in Your sight.

27 (Jn 10:15; Mt 28:18; Jn 1:18) "All things are delivered to Me

by My Father, and no one knows the Son, except the Father.

And no one knows the Father, except the Son and he to whom

the Son will reveal Him.

28 (Jn 7:37; 6:37) "Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavily

burdened, and I will give you rest.

29 (Jer 6:16; Jn 13:15) Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me.

For I am meek and lowly in heart,

and you will find rest for your souls.(Jer 6:16).

30 (1Jn 5:3) For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light."

because He has dealt bountifully with me.



The Hidden Revelation

25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father,

Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things

from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.

27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man

knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father,

save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden,

and I will give you rest.

29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek

and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.





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 2021 edition?)



Prince Edward Island



Total population 146300

Muslim population (est.) 1127



Charlottetown does not currently (fall 2014) have a local CNMM network.

Pray with us for God's people to come together in reaching Muslims

cooperatively across denominational and organisational lines.



More than 200 attended the Eid festival at the end of Ramadan, the Islamic

month of fasting during daylight hours and the reading of the Qur'an, at

the Dar as-Salam mosque in 2014. This second mosque established

in Charlottetown, the other being the Muslims Association of PEI.

As of mid-2014,there are between 250 to 300 families, mostly in Charlottetown.



The Muslims of Charlottetown see their community as symbolically important

for this nation since this is known as the "birthplace of Canada". Yet we were

established as the "Dominion of Canada" with an appeal not only to

monarchial authority, but even more to God's higher Biblical authority as

shown in Psalm 72:8, "May he have dominion from sea to sea,

and from the River to the ends of the earth."

Let us intercede together for:



- the growing Muslim population of Charlottetown and spreading

outward through PEI to encounter the Prince of Peace.

- believers to have faith and vision to reach out to the Muslim Community

in contextual ways to share the Gospel

- churches and ministries to rise up in wisdom, knowledge and understanding,

giving and training, coaching and encouragement to believers reaching

out to Muslims locally.

- a prayer movement to be established, feeding a growing move of Yahweh's

Spirit in His churches and people , and an awakening an openness

and spiritual hunger in Muslims for relationship with the Father

through the Son.



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 12 They were all amazed and perplexed, saying to each other,

"What does this mean?"

13 (1Co 14:23) Others mocking said, "These men are full of new wine."



Peter's Speech at Pentecost



14 (Ac 1:26) But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice

and said to them, "Men of Judea and all you who dwell in Jerusalem,

let this be known to you, and listen to my words.

15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose,

since it is the third hour of the day.

16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

17 (Isa 44:3; Ac 10:45) '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.'



- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective

discipleship movements among Muslim people.



- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for

Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.



Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a

hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under

a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the

house."



Ideas for prayer



- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you

- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving

Christ among Muslim people -



Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."

- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims

throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!



My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further

call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity



(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, atheists, secular humanists, ...)
