Today at Calvary Community

Church , Pastor Barry Regier spoke on God's Heart to

rebuild - The Role of Prayer.



Rebuilding Community through prayer includes



A) Worship ... recounting God's goodness and faithfulness



4 (Ne 8:7) Jeshua, Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani,

and Kenani stood up on the stairs of the Levites

and cried with a loud voice to the Lord their God.

5 (1Ch 29:13) Then the Levites, Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah,

Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said:

"Stand up and bless the Lord your God forever and ever! Let them

bless Your glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise.

6 (Ge 1:1; 2:1; 2Ki 19:15) You alone are the Lord. You have made heaven,

the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth and all that is on it,

the seas and all that is in them; and You preserve them all.

And the host of heaven worships You.





[4] Then stood up upon the stairs, of the Levites, Jeshua, and Bani,

Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani, and cried with a

loud voice unto the LORD their God.

[5] Then the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah,

Hodijah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said, Stand up and bless the LORD your

God for ever and ever: and blessed be thy glorious name, which is exalted

above all blessing and praise.

[6] Thou, even thou, art LORD alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of

heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein,

the seas, and all that is therein, and thou preservest them all; and the

host of heaven worshippeth thee.



Notice how they start with The Attributes of God



"Stand up and bless the Lord your God forever and ever! Let them

bless Your glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise."



Stand up and bless the LORD your

God for ever and ever: and blessed be thy glorious name, which is exalted

above all blessing and praise.



They didn't need to remind God, but they DID need to mind themselves and

acknowledge before God who He is and What He's done:



17 (Ps 78:11; 86:5) They refused to obey and were not mindful of Your wonders

that You performed among them. But they hardened their necks and in their

rebellion appointed a leader to return to their bondage. But You are a God

ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding

in kindness, and did not forsake them.

19 (Ne 9:12; 9:27) yet You in Your great mercy did not forsake them

in the wilderness: The pillar of the cloud did not depart from them by day,

to lead them in the way, nor the pillar of fire by night, to light for them

the way they should go.

25 (Dt 32:15; 3:5) They captured unassailable cities and a fertile land.

They possessed houses full of all goods, wells dug, vineyards, olive groves,

and fruit trees in abundance, so they ate, were filled, and became fat,

and they indulged themselves in Your great goodness.

27 Therefore You delivered them into the hand of their enemies,

who afflicted them. When they cried to You in the time of their affliction,

You heard from heaven, and, according to Your abundant mercy, You gave them

deliverers who delivered them out of the hand of their enemies.

31 (Jer 4:27; Ne 9:17) Nevertheless, for the sake of Your abundant mercy,

You did not completely destroy them or forsake them.

Indeed, You are a gracious and merciful God.

32 (2Ki 17:3; Ne 1:5) "Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty,

and the awesome God, who keeps covenant and mercy, let not all the hardship,

since the time of the kings of Assyria until this day, that has come on us,

our kings, our princes, our priests, our prophets, our fathers,

and on all Your people seem insignificant to You.



[17] And refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy wonders that thou

didst among them; but hardened their necks, and in their rebellion appointed

a captain to return to their bondage: but thou art a God ready to pardon,

gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and forsookest

them not.

[19] Yet thou in thy manifold mercies forsookest them not in the wilderness:

the pillar of the cloud departed not from them by day, to lead them in the

way; neither the pillar of fire by night, to shew them light, and the way

wherein they should go.

[25] And they took strong cities, and a fat land, and possessed houses full

of all goods, wells digged, vineyards, and oliveyards, and fruit trees in

abundance: so they did eat, and were filled, and became fat, and delighted

themselves in thy great goodness.

[27] Therefore thou deliveredst them into the hand of their enemies, who

vexed them: and in the time of their trouble, when they cried unto thee,

thou heardest them from heaven; and according to thy manifold mercies thou

gavest them saviours, who saved them out of the hand of their enemies.

[31] Nevertheless for thy great mercies' sake thou didst not utterly consume

them, nor forsake them; for thou art a gracious and merciful God.

[32] Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the terrible God,

who keepest covenant and mercy, let not all the trouble seem little before

thee, that hath come upon us, on our kings, on our princes, and on our

priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all thy people,

since the time of the kings of Assyria unto this day.



B) Confession ... and repentance



Isaiah 59:1-2



Isaiah 59

The Consequence of Sin

1 (Nu 11:23; Isa 50:2) Certainly, the hand of the Lord is not

so short that it cannot save, nor is His ear so dull that it cannot hear.

2 (Isa 50:1; Jer 5:25) But your iniquities have made a separation between

you and your God,

and your sins have hidden His face from you so that He will not hear.





Isaiah 59

[1] Behold, the LORD's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither

his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:

[2] But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your

sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.



1 John 1:9



9 (Ps 32:5; Pr 28:13) If we confess our sins, He is faithful

and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.



[9] If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins,

and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.



Nehemiah 9



16 (Dt 31:27; Ne 9:10) "But they and our fathers acted proudly and hardened

their necks and did not obey Your commandments.

[16] But they and our fathers dealt proudly, and hardened their necks, and

hearkened not to thy commandments,



17 (Ps 78:11; 86:5) They refused to obey and were not mindful of Your wonders

that You performed among them. But they hardened their necks and in their

rebellion appointed a leader to return to their bondage. But You are a God

ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding

in kindness, and did not forsake them.

[17] And refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy wonders that thou

didst among them; but hardened their necks, and in their rebellion appointed

a captain to return to their bondage: but thou art a God ready to pardon,

gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and forsookest

them not.



26 (1Ki 14:9; Jdg 2:11-12) "Nevertheless they became disobedient,

and rebelled against You, and cast Your law behind their backs,

and killed Your prophets who had warned them to turn back to You.

But they committed terrible provocations.

[26] Nevertheless they were disobedient, and rebelled against thee, and cast

thy law behind their backs, and slew thy prophets which testified against

them to turn them to thee, and they wrought great provocations.



30 (Ne 9:20; Isa 42:24) For many years You endured them

and warned them by Your Spirit in Your prophets, yet they would not listen.

Therefore, You gave them into the hand of the people of the lands.

31 (Jer 4:27; Ne 9:17) Nevertheless, for the sake of Your abundant mercy,

You did not completely destroy them or forsake them.

Indeed, You are a gracious and merciful God.



[30] Yet many years didst thou forbear them, and testifiedst against them by

thy spirit in thy prophets: yet would they not give ear: therefore gavest

thou them into the hand of the people of the lands.

[31] Nevertheless for thy great mercies' sake thou didst not utterly consume

them, nor forsake them; for thou art a gracious and merciful God.



33 (Ge 18:25; Ps 106:6) You are righteous for everything that has come

upon us! You have acted faithfully while we have done wickedly.



[33] Howbeit thou art just in all that is brought upon us; for thou hast

done right, but we have done wickedly:



Nehemiah 9:1-3



1 (Jos 7:6; 1Sa 4:12) Now on the twenty-fourth day of this month the children

of Israel were assembled with fasting and sackcloth,

and there was dirt on them.

2 (Ezr 10:11; Ne 13:3) The offspring of Israel separated themselves

from all the foreigners and then stood and confessed their sins

and the iniquities of their fathers.

3 (Ne 8:7-8) They stood in their place and read from the Book of the Law

of the Lord their God for a fourth of the day. And for another fourth,

they confessed and worshipped the Lord their God.



[1] Now in the twenty and fourth day of this month the children of Israel

were assembled with fasting, and with sackclothes, and earth upon them.

[2] And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all strangers, and

stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers.

[3] And they stood up in their place, and read in the book of the law of the

LORD their God one fourth part of the day; and another fourth part they

confessed, and worshipped the LORD their God.



1) Isaiah 18, 19, 20, 21, 22



Isaiah 18

An Oracle Concerning Ethiopia

1 (2Ki 19:9; Eze 30:4-5) Woe to the land vibrating with wings,

which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia,

2 (Ge 10:8-9; 2Ch 12:2-4) which sends ambassadors by the sea,

even in vessels of reeds on the waters, saying,

"Go, swift messengers,

to a nation tall and smooth,

to a people feared far and wide,

a nation strong and oppressive,

whose land the rivers have divided."

3 (Isa 5:26; 26:11) All you inhabitants of the world,

and dwellers on the earth:

When he lifts up a banner on the mountains,

you will see it;

and when he blows a trumpet,

you will hear it.

4 (Isa 26:21; Hos 5:15) For so the Lord said to me:

I will look from My dwelling place quietly,

like dazzling heat in the sunshine,

like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.

5 (Eze 17:6-10) For before the harvest, when the bud is perfect

and the sour grape is ripening in the flower,

then He shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks

and take away and cut down the branches.

6 (Jer 7:33; Eze 32:4-6) They shall be left together for the fowl

of the mountains

and for the beasts of the earth;

and the fowl shall spend the summer feeding on them,

and all the beasts of the earth shall spend the winter on them.

7 (Isa 45:14; Zep 3:10) In that time a present shall be brought

to the Lord of Hosts

from a people tall and smooth,

and from a people feared far and wide,

a nation strong and oppressive,

whose land the rivers have divided,

to the place of the name of the Lord of Hosts, even Mount Zion.





Isaiah 18

[1] Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the rivers of

Ethiopia:

[2] That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon

the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered and

peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted

out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled!

[3] All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see ye, when

he lifteth up an ensign on the mountains; and when he bloweth a trumpet,

hear ye.

[4] For so the LORD said unto me, I will take my rest, and I will consider

in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs, and like a cloud of dew

in the heat of harvest.

[5] For afore the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape is

ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks,

and take away and cut down the branches.

[6] They shall be left together unto the fowls of the mountains, and to the

beasts of the earth: and the fowls shall summer upon them, and all the

beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.

[7] In that time shall the present be brought unto the LORD of hosts of a

people scattered and peeled, and from a people terrible from their beginning

hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers

have spoiled, to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, the mount Zion.



(A prophecy that could happen soon)



Isaiah 19



An Oracle Concerning Egypt



1 (Ex 12:12; Jos 2:11) The oracle of Egypt.

See, the Lord is riding on a swift cloud

and shall come into Egypt;

and the idols of Egypt shall tremble at His presence,

and the heart of Egypt shall melt in its midst.

2 (Jdg 7:22; 1Sa 14:20) I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians,

and they shall fight every one against his brother,

and every one against his neighbor,

city against city,

and kingdom against kingdom.

3 (Isa 8:19; Da 2:2; 1Ch 10:13) The spirit of Egypt shall be discouraged

in their midst,

and I will destroy their counsel;

then they shall seek for the idols and for the charmers

and for the mediums and the sorcerers.

4 (Isa 20:4; Jer 46:26) The Egyptians I will give over

into the hand of a cruel lord,

and a fierce king shall rule over them,

says the Lord, the Lord of Hosts.

5 (Jer 51:36; Eze 30:12) The waters from the sea shall dry up,

and the river shall be parched and dry.

6 (Isa 37:25; Ex 2:3) The canals shall emit a stench;

the streams of Egypt shall diminish and dry up;

the reeds and rushes shall wither.

7 The papyrus reeds by the brooks,

by the mouth of the brooks,

and everything sown by the brooks,

shall wither, be driven away, and be no more.

8 (Eze 47:10; Hab 1:15) The fishermen also shall mourn,

and all those who cast a line into the brooks shall lament,

and those who spread nets on the waters

shall languish.

9 (Eze 27:7; Pr 7:16) Moreover those who work with fine flax

and those who weave white cloth shall be humiliated;

10 and the pillars of Egypt shall be crushed.

All the hired workers shall be grieved in soul.

11 (Nu 13:22; 1Ki 4:30) Surely the princes of Zoan are fools;

the counsel of the wise counselors of Pharaoh has become stupid.

How can you say to Pharaoh,

"I am a son of the wise,

a son of ancient kings?"

12 (1Co 1:20) Where are they? Where are your wise men?

Let them tell you now, and let them understand

what the Lord of Hosts

has purposed against Egypt.

13 (Jer 2:16; Eze 30:13 ) The princes of Zoan have become fools;

the princes of Memphis are deceived;

they have also seduced Egypt,

even those who are the cornerstone of her tribes.

14 (Job 12:25; Jer 25:27) The Lord has mingled

a perverse spirit in her;

so they have caused Egypt to err in her every work,

as a drunken man staggers in his vomit.

15 (Isa 9:14-15) Nor shall there be any work for Egypt,

which its head or tail, its branch or bulrush, may do.

16 (Isa 11:15; Jer 51:30) In that day Egypt shall become like women.

And it shall be afraid and be in dread because of the shaking of the hand

of the Lord of Hosts which He is about to shake over it.

17 (Isa 14:24; Da 4:35) The land of Judah shall become a terror to Egypt.

Everyone to whom it is mentioned shall be in dread of it,

because of the counsel of the Lord of Hosts

which He has determined against it.

18 (Zep 3:9; Isa 19:21) In that day five cities in the land of Egypt

shall speak the language of Canaan and swear to the Lord of Hosts.

One shall be called the City of Destruction.

19 (Ge 28:18; Jos 22:10) In that day there shall be an altar to the Lord

in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the Lord at its border.

20It shall be for a sign and for a witness to the Lord of Hosts in the land

of Egypt. For they shall cry to the Lord because of the oppressors,

and He shall send them a Savior and a Champion. And He shall deliver them.

21 (Isa 11:9; Mal 1:11) The Lord shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians

shall know the Lord in that day, and shall worship with sacrifice

and offering, they shall make a vow to the Lord and perform it.

22 (Dt 32:39; Hos 14:1) The Lord shall strike Egypt. He shall strike

and heal it. Then they shall return to the Lord, and He shall be entreated

by them and shall heal them.

23 (Isa 11:16) In that day there shall be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria,

and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria,

and the Egyptians shall worship with the Assyrians.

24 (Isa 65:8; Ge 12:2) In that day Israel shall be the third group

with Egypt and Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the earth,

25 (Isa 29:23; Ps 100:3) whom the Lord of Hosts has blessed, saying,

"­Blessed is Egypt My people, and Assyria the work of My hands,

and Israel My inheritance."



Isaiah 19

[1] The burden of Egypt. Behold, the LORD rideth upon a swift cloud, and

shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his

presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.

[2] And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight

every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; city

against city, and kingdom against kingdom.

[3] And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof; and I will

destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek to the idols, and to the

charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards.

[4] And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord; and a

fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts.

[5] And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted

and dried up.

[6] And they shall turn the rivers far away; and the brooks of defence shall

be emptied and dried up: the reeds and flags shall wither.

[7] The paper reeds by the brooks, by the mouth of the brooks, and every

thing sown by the brooks, shall wither, be driven away, and be no more.

[8] The fishers also shall mourn, and all they that cast angle into the

brooks shall lament, and they that spread nets upon the waters shall

languish.

[9] Moreover they that work in fine flax, and they that weave networks,

shall be confounded.

[10] And they shall be broken in the purposes thereof, all that make sluices

and ponds for fish.

[11] Surely the princes of Zoan are fools, the counsel of the wise

counsellers of Pharaoh is become brutish: how say ye unto Pharaoh, I am the

son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?

[12] Where are they? where are thy wise men? and let them tell thee now, and

let them know what the LORD of hosts hath purposed upon Egypt.

[13] The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Noph are deceived;

they have also seduced Egypt, even they that are the stay of the tribes

thereof.

[14] The LORD hath mingled a perverse spirit in the midst thereof: and they

have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof, as a drunken man staggereth

in his vomit.

[15] Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, which the head or tail,

branch or rush, may do.

[16] In that day shall Egypt be like unto women: and it shall be afraid and

fear because of the shaking of the hand of the LORD of hosts, which he

shaketh over it.

[17] And the land of Judah shall be a terror unto Egypt, every one that

maketh mention thereof shall be afraid in himself, because of the counsel of

the LORD of hosts, which he hath determined against it.

[18] In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the language

of Canaan, and swear to the LORD of hosts; one shall be called, The city of

destruction.

[19] In that day shall there be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the

land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the LORD.

[20] And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the LORD of hosts in

the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the LORD because of the

oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a great one, and he shall

deliver them.

[21] And the LORD shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the

LORD in that day, and shall do sacrifice and oblation; yea, they shall vow a

vow unto the LORD, and perform it.

[22] And the LORD shall smite Egypt: he shall smite and heal it: and they

shall return even to the LORD, and he shall be intreated of them, and shall

heal them.

[23] In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the

Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the

Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians.

[24] In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even

a blessing in the midst of the land:

[25] Whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people,

and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance.



Isaiah 20



A Prophecy Against Egypt and Ethiopia



1 (2Ki 18:17) In the year that the Tartan

[Possibly Commander-in-Chief.] came to Ashdod, when Sargon the king of Assyria

sent him, and he fought against Ashdod and took it,

2 (1Sa 19:24; Mic 1:8) at the same time the Lord spoke

by Isaiah the son of Amoz saying, "Go and loosen the sackcloth

from your waist and take off your shoes from your feet."

And he did so, walking naked and barefoot.

3 (Isa 8:18) The Lord said, "Even as My servant Isaiah has walked naked

and barefoot three years for a sign and wonder against Egypt and Ethiopia,

4 (Isa 19:4; Jer 13:22) so the king of Assyria shall lead away the Egyptians

as prisoners and the Ethiopians as captives, young and old,

naked and barefoot, even with their buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.

5 (Isa 30:3; 30:5) Then they shall be dismayed and ashamed of Ethiopia

their hope and Egypt their boast.

6 (Mt 23:33; 1Th 5:3) So the inhabitants of this coastland shall say

in that day, 'Certainly such is our hope, where we flee for help

to be delivered from the king of Assyria! And how shall we escape?' "



Isaiah 20

[1] In the year that Tartan came unto Ashdod, (when Sargon the king of

Assyria sent him,) and fought against Ashdod, and took it;

[2] At the same time spake the LORD by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go

and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and put off thy shoe from thy

foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot.

[3] And the LORD said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and

barefoot three years for a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia;

[4] So shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians prisoners, and the

Ethiopians captives, young and old, naked and barefoot, even with their

buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.

[5] And they shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethiopia their expectation, and

of Egypt their glory.

[6] And the inhabitant of this isle shall say in that day, Behold, such is

our expectation, whither we flee for help to be delivered from the king of

Assyria: and how shall we escape?



Isaiah 21



A Prophecy Against Babylon



1 (Isa 13:1; Jer 51:42) The oracle of the desert of the sea.

As whirlwinds in the Negev pass through,

so it comes from the desert,

from a terrible land.

2 (Isa 33:1; Ps 60:3) A grievous vision is declared to me;

the treacherous one still deals treacherously,

and the destroyer still destroys.

Go up, O Elam. Lay siege, O Media.

All her sighing I have made to cease.

3 (Isa 13:8; Ps 48:6) Therefore, my loins are filled with pain;

pangs have taken hold of me as the pangs of a woman who travails.

I am so perplexed at the hearing of it;

I am so dismayed at the seeing of it.

4 My heart panted,

fearfulness overwhelmed me;

the night for which I longed

has turned into trembling for me.

5 (Jer 51:39; 51:57) Prepare the table,

watch in the watchtower,

eat and drink.

Arise, you princes,

and oil the shields.

6 (2Ki 9:17-20) For thus the Lord has said to me:

"Go, station a watchman;

let him declare what he sees.

7 (Isa 21:9) When he sees chariots

with horsemen in pairs,

a chariot of donkeys,

and a chariot of camels,

then let him pay close attention,

very close attention."

8 Then the watchman called:

"O Lord, I stand continually on the watchtower in the daytime,

and I am stationed at my guard post every night.

9 (Jer 51:8; Rev 14:8) Look, here comes a chariot of men,

horsemen in pairs."

And he answered and said,

"Fallen, fallen is Babylon.

And all the graven images of her gods

lie shattered on the ground."

10 (Jer 51:33; Mic 4:13) O my threshed people and my afflicted

of the threshing floor!

What I have heard from the Lord of Hosts,

the God of Israel,

I have declared to you.



A Prophecy Against Edom



11 (Ge 25:14; 1Ch 1:30) The oracle of Dumah.

He calls to me out of Seir,

"Watchman, how far gone is the night?

Watchman, how far gone is the night?"

12 The watchman says,

"The morning comes and also the night.

If you would inquire, inquire;

return again."



A Prophecy Against Arabia



13 (Jer 25:23-24; Ge 25:3) The oracle about Arabia.

In the forest of Arabia you shall lodge,

O traveling companies of Dedanites.

14 (Ge 25:15; Job 6:19) Bring water for the thirsty,

O inhabitants of the land of Tema;

meet the fugitive with bread.

15 For they fled from the swords,

from the drawn sword,

and from the bent bow,

and from the grievousness of war.

16 (Ps 120:5; Isa 16:14) For thus the Lord has said to me:

Within a year, according to the years of a hireling,

all the glory of Kedar shall fail.

17 (Nu 23:19; Isa 1:20) And the remainder of the number of archers,

the mighty men of the children of Kedar, shall be diminished,

for the Lord God of Israel has spoken it.



Isaiah 21

[1] The burden of the desert of the sea. As whirlwinds in the south pass

through; so it cometh from the desert, from a terrible land.

[2] A grievous vision is declared unto me; the treacherous dealer dealeth

treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. Go up, O Elam: besiege, O Media;

all the sighing thereof have I made to cease.

[3] Therefore are my loins filled with pain: pangs have taken hold upon me,

as the pangs of a woman that travaileth: I was bowed down at the hearing of

it; I was dismayed at the seeing of it.

[4] My heart panted, fearfulness affrighted me: the night of my pleasure

hath he turned into fear unto me.

[5] Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: arise, ye

princes, and anoint the shield.

[6] For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare

what he seeth.

[7] And he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, and

a chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed:

[8] And he cried, A lion: My lord, I stand continually upon the watchtower

in the daytime, and I am set in my ward whole nights:

[9] And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen.

And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven

images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground.

[10] O my threshing, and the corn of my floor: that which I have heard of

the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared unto you.

[11] The burden of Dumah. He calleth to me out of Seir, Watchman, what of

the night? Watchman, what of the night?

[12] The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night: if ye will

inquire, inquire ye: return, come.

[13] The burden upon Arabia. In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye

travelling companies of Dedanim.

[14] The inhabitants of the land of Tema brought water to him that was

thirsty, they prevented with their bread him that fled.

[15] For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent

bow, and from the grievousness of war.

[16] For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Within a year, according to the

years of an hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall fail:

[17] And the residue of the number of archers, the mighty men of the

children of Kedar, shall be diminished: for the LORD God of Israel hath

spoken it.





Isaiah 22



An Oracle Concerning Jerusalem



1 (Jer 21:13; Ps 125:2) The oracle of the Valley of Vision.

What ails you now,

that you all have gone up to the housetops,

2 (Isa 32:13; 23:7) you who were full of noise,

a tumultuous city, a joyous city?

Your slain are not slain with the sword,

nor did they die in battle.

3 All your rulers have fled together;

they are captured by the archers.

All of you who were found were taken captive together,

although they had fled from afar.

4 (Jer 9:1; Mic 1:8) Therefore, I say, "Look away from me,

I will weep bitterly;

do not try to comfort me

because of the destruction of the daughter of my people."

5 (Isa 10:6; 37:3) For it is a day of trouble and of treading down

and of perplexity

by the Lord God of Hosts

in the Valley of Vision,

a breaking down of the walls

and a crying to the mountains.

6 (2Ki 16:9; Isa 21:2) Elam took up the quiver

with chariots of men and horsemen,

and Kir uncovered the shield.

7 Your choicest valleys shall be full of chariots,

and the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate.

8 (1Ki 7:2; 10:17) And He shall remove the protection of Judah.

You shall depend in that day

on the weapons of the house of the forest;

9 (2Ki 20:20) you have seen also that the breaches

of the City of David are many;

and you gathered together the waters

of the lower pool.

10 You have numbered the houses of Jerusalem,

and the houses you have broken down to fortify the wall.

11 (2Ki 25:4) You also made a reservoir between the two walls

for the water of the old pool.

But you have not looked to its Maker,

nor did you respect Him who fashioned it long ago.

12 (Joel 2:17; 1:13) In that day the Lord God of Hosts

called you to weeping and mourning,

and to tear your hair and wear sackcloth.

13 (Isa 56:12; 1Co 15:32; Lk 17:26-29) Yet, there is joy and gladness,

slaying of oxen and killing of sheep,

eating of meat and drinking wine:

"Let us eat and drink,

for tomorrow we may die."

14 (1Sa 3:14; Isa 5:9) It was revealed in my hearing by the Lord of Hosts:

Surely this iniquity shall not be forgiven you until you die,

says the Lord God of Hosts.

15 (2Ki 18:18; Isa 36:3) Thus says the Lord God of Hosts:

Come, go to this treasurer,

even to Shebna, who is over the royal household, and say:

16 (Mt 27:60; 2Ch 16:14) What right do you have here?

And whom do you have here

that you have dug out for yourself a tomb here,

as he who hews out for himself a tomb on high,

and who cuts a habitation for himself in a rock?

17 Indeed, the Lord is about to hurl you headlong, O man;

He is about to seize you firmly.

18 (Isa 17:13) He will surely violently turn

and toss you like a ball into a large country;

there you shall die,

and there the chariots of your glory shall be

the shame of your lord's house.

19 (Job 40:11-12; Eze 17:24) I will drive you from your office

and pull you down from your station.

20 (2Ki 18:18; Isa 36:3) In that day I will call My servant Eliakim

the son of Hilkiah.

21 (Ge 45:8) And I will clothe him with your robe and tie him securely

with your sash. And I will entrust him with your authority,

and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem

and to the house of Judah.

22 (Job 12:14; Rev 3:7) The key of the house of David I will lay

on his shoulder. Then he shall open, and no one shall shut.

And he shall shut, and no one shall open.

23 (1Sa 2:8; Ezr 9:8) I will fasten him as a nail in a firm place,

and he shall become a glorious throne to his father's house.

24 They shall hang on him all the glory of his father's house,

the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity,

from the bowls to all the jars.

25 (Isa 46:11; Mic 4:4) In that day, says the Lord of Hosts,

the nail that is fastened in the firm place shall be removed,

and be cut down and fall. And the load that was on it shall be cut off,

for the Lord has spoken it.



Isaiah 22

[1] The burden of the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, that thou art

wholly gone up to the housetops?

[2] Thou that art full of stirs, a tumultuous city, a joyous city: thy slain

men are not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle.

[3] All thy rulers are fled together, they are bound by the archers: all

that are found in thee are bound together, which have fled from far.

[4] Therefore said I, Look away from me; I will weep bitterly, labour not to

comfort me, because of the spoiling of the daughter of my people.

[5] For it is a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity by

the Lord GOD of hosts in the valley of vision, breaking down the walls, and

of crying to the mountains.

[6] And Elam bare the quiver with chariots of men and horsemen, and Kir

uncovered the shield.

[7] And it shall come to pass, that thy choicest valleys shall be full of

chariots, and the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate.

[8] And he discovered the covering of Judah, and thou didst look in that day

to the armour of the house of the forest.

[9] Ye have seen also the breaches of the city of David, that they are many:

and ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool.

[10] And ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses have ye

broken down to fortify the wall.

[11] Ye made also a ditch between the two walls for the water of the old

pool: but ye have not looked unto the maker thereof, neither had respect

unto him that fashioned it long ago.

[12] And in that day did the Lord GOD of hosts call to weeping, and to

mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth:

[13] And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating

flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for to morrow we shall die.

[14] And it was revealed in mine ears by the LORD of hosts, Surely this

iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith the Lord GOD of

hosts.

[15] Thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, Go, get thee unto this treasurer,

even unto Shebna, which is over the house, and say,

[16] What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee

out a sepulchre here, as he that heweth him out a sepulchre on high, and

that graveth an habitation for himself in a rock?

[17] Behold, the LORD will carry thee away with a mighty captivity, and will

surely cover thee.

[18] He will surely violently turn and toss thee like a ball into a large

country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be

the shame of thy lord's house.

[19] And I will drive thee from thy station, and from thy state shall he

pull thee down.

[20] And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant

Eliakim the son of Hilkiah:

[21] And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy

girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand: and he shall be a

father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.

[22] And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he

shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.

[23] And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a

glorious throne to his father's house.

[24] And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the

offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of

cups, even to all the vessels of flagons.

[25] In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall the nail that is fastened

in the sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that

was upon it shall be cut off: for the LORD hath spoken it.

Prayer and Transformation



Psalm 107:23-36



23 Some went down to the sea in ships,

to do business in the vast waters;

24 they saw the works of the Lord

and His wonders in the deep water.

25 For He commands and raises the stormy wind,

which lifts up the sea waves.

26 The sailors went up to the sky, they came down to the depths;

their strength melted because of the great danger.

27 They reeled to and fro and staggered like drunken men,

and were completely confused.

28 Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,

and He saved them out of their distress.

29 He made the storm calm, and the sea waves were still.

30 They were glad because the waters were quiet,

so He brought them to their desired harbour.

31 Let them praise the Lord for His goodness

and for His wonderful works to the people!

32 Let them exalt Him in the congregation of the people,

and praise him in the assembly of the elders.

33 He turns rivers into a desert,

water springs into dry ground,

34 a fruitful land into salty wasteland,

because of the wickedness of those living there.

35 He turns a wilderness into pools of water,

a parched ground into springs of water.

36 There He makes the hungry dwell, and they prepare a city to live in;



[23] They that go down to the sea in ships, That do business in great waters;

[24] These see the works of the LORD, And his wonders in the deep.

[25] For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind,

Which lifteth up the waves thereof.

[26] They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths:

Their soul is melted because of trouble.

[27] They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man,

And are at their wits' end.

[28] Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble,

And he bringeth them out of their distresses.

[29] He maketh the storm a calm,

So that the waves thereof are still.

[30] Then are they glad because they be quiet;

So he bringeth them unto their desired haven.

[31] Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness,

And for his wonderful works to the children of men!

[32] Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people,

And praise him in the assembly of the elders.

[33] He turneth rivers into a wilderness,

And the watersprings into dry ground;

[34] A fruitful land into barrenness,

For the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

[35] He turneth the wilderness into a standing water,

And dry ground into watersprings.

[36] And there he maketh the hungry

To dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;



In 1982, pastor Christian Führer began Monday prayer meetings at Leipzig's

St. Nicholas Church. For years, a handful gathered to ask God for peace amid

global violence and the oppressive East German regime. Though communist

authorities watched churches closely, they were unconcerned until attendance

swelled and spilled over to mass meetings outside the church gates. On October

9, 1989, 70000 demonstrators met and peacefully protested. 6000 East German

police stood ready to respond to any provocation. The crowd remained peaceful,

however, and historians consider this day a watershed moment. A month later,

the Berlin Wall fell. The massive transformation all started with a prayer

meeting.



As we turn to God and begin relying on His wisdom and strength, things often

begin to shift and reshape. Like Israel, when we cry "out to the Lord in [our]

trouble," we discover the God who alone is capable of profoundly transforming

even our most dire predicaments and answering our most vexing questions

(Psalm 107:28). God stills "the storm to a whisper" and turns "the desert into

pools of water" (vv. 29, 35). The One to whom we pray brings hope out of

despair and beauty out of ruin.



But it's God who (in His time-not ours) enacts transformation.

Prayer is how we participate in the transforming work He’s doing.



By: Winn Collier



Reflect & Pray



When have you seen God do something transformative?

What's the connection between His actions and our prayers?



Dear God, I need Your transforming work.

Please change what only You can change.



3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation



Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools



Week 8 Guided by Grace Day 1 A circle of Light



John 8:12



12 (Jn 12:35; Job 33:28; Isa 49:6)Again, Jesus spoke to them, saying,

"I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me

shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life."



12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world:

he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness,

but shall have the light of life.



When Judy Garland stepped onstage, she filled the spotlight. Nothing was

illuminated but her face, and as she sang, her listeners had a sense of being

transported beyond themselves into the meaning of her song. The focus of

reality, at that moment, was "Judy", and everything else faded into the dim

recesses of the shadowed room. The spotlight brought her into sharp focus

as the center of attention, and all around her was darkness.

When the scriptures speaks of Jesus as "the light," the image is not

of thousands of blazing bulbs lighting up a football field for a night game.

Rather, he is like a hand-help lamp that throws a circle of light in the

immediate vicinity. such a lamp lights the path that a traveler will walk,

but lights it only one step at a time.

Jesus is the center of that circle of light. As we follow him, we share the

light, but he is always at center. Jesus Christ is the focal point,

and everything else fades into dim gray by comparison.

If we are to keep our lives illuminated, to have his light falling upon the

road we walk, we must stay close to him. Jesus does not hand the lamp

to us and suggest that we go the way he wants; he , the Light, leads,

and if we want to stay in the light, we follow.



Application



a) Have I ever tried to go my own way, apart from the Light?

What was the result?



b) How can this verse help me remember the importance of staying close

to Jesus?

Ps 103:1-14



PSALMS 103



A Psalm of David.



1 Bless the Lord, O my soul,

and all that is within me, bless His holy name.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) Bless the Lord, O my soul,

and forget not all His benefits,

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) who forgives all your iniquities,

who heals all your diseases,

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) who redeems your life from the pit,

who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) who satisfies your mouth with good things,

so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) The Lord does righteousness

and justice for all who are oppressed.

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) He made known His ways to Moses,

His acts to the people of Israel.

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) The Lord is merciful and gracious,

slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) He will not always accuse,

neither will He keep his anger forever.

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) He does not treat us according to our sins,

nor repay us according to our iniquities.

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) For as the heavens are high above the earth,

so great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;

12 as far as the east is from the west,

so far has He removed our transgressions from us.

13 Like a father shows compassion to his children,

so the Lord gives compassion to those who fear Him.

He remembers that we are dust.

His acts unto the children of Israel.

8 The LORD is merciful and gracious,

Slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.

9 He will not always chide:

Neither will he keep his anger for ever.

10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins;

Nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

11 For as the heaven is high above the earth,

So great is his mercy toward them that fear him.

12 As far as the east is from the west,

So far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

He remembereth that we are dust.

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]



Footnotes

Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.

- 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!



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.
