Lev 22 - 23



Leviticus 22



Holy Offerings



1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 (Lev 18:21; Dt 15:19) Speak to Aaron and to his sons that

they should be very respectful with the holy things of the

children of Israel, and that they do not defile My holy name

with those things which the people have consecrated to Me: I am the Lord.

3 (Lev 7:20–21) Say to them: Whoever from your offspring through

your generations approaches the holy things, which the children

of Israel have dedicated to the Lord, while he has uncleanness,

that person shall be cut off from My presence: I am the Lord.

4 (Lev 11:39; 15:2–3) If a man of the offspring of Aaron

is a leper or has a discharge, he shall not eat of the

holy offerings until he is clean. And whoever touches

anything that is unclean by contact with the dead

or a man who had an emission of semen,

5 (Lev 15:7; 11:43–44) or whoever touches

any crawling thing whereby he may be made unclean,

or a man from whom he may receive uncleanness,

whatever uncleanness he has,

6 (Lev 15:5; Heb 10:22) the person who has touched

any such thing shall be unclean until evening,

and shall not eat of the holy things unless

he washes his body with water.

7 (Lev 21:22) When the sun goes down, he shall be clean,

and afterward he shall eat of the holy things, because it is his food.

8 (Lev 17:15; Ex 22:31) That which dies of itself

or is torn by animals he shall not eat,

becoming unclean by it: I am the Lord.

9 (Ex 28:43; Nu 18:22) They shall therefore keep My ordinance,

lest they bear sin from it and therefore die if they defile it:

I am the Lord who sanctifies them.

10 (1Sa 21:6; Mt 12:4) There shall be no outsider (Or stranger.)

who eats of a holy thing, whether a foreign guest of the priest

or a hired servant, he shall not eat of a holy offering.

11 (Ge 17:13) But if a priest buys a person with his money,

the person acquired shall eat of it, and he that is born

in his house shall eat of his food.

12 If the priest's daughter marries an outsider,

she may not eat of an offering of the holy things.

13 (Ge 38:11; Lev 10:14) But if the priest's daughter

is a widow or divorced, and has no child and has returned to her

father's house as in her youth, she may eat of her father's food;

but no outsider may eat of it.

14 (Lev 27:13; 27:15) If a man eats the holy thing unwittingly,

then he shall add a fifth of the value to it

and shall give the holy thing to the priest.

15 (Nu 18:32; Lev 19:8) They shall not defile the holy things

of the children of Israel, which they offer to the Lord,

16 (Lev 22:9) and cause them to suffer

and to bear the iniquity of guilt when they eat their holy things,

for I am the Lord who sanctifies them.



Acceptable Offerings



17 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

18 (Lev 1:2; Nu 15:3) Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all

the children of Israel, and say to them: Whoever from the house of Israel

or from the foreigners in Israel who offers his burnt offering

for any vows or freewill offerings that he offers to the Lord,

19 (Lev 1:3; 1:10) then if it is to be accepted for you,

the offering shall be a male without ­blemish, a bull, sheep, or goat.

20 (Dt 17:1; 15:21; Mal 1:8) But whatever has a blemish you shall not

offer, for it shall not be acceptable for you.

21 (Nu 15:3; 15:8) Whoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings

to the Lord to fulfill his vow or a freewill offering,

whether from the herd or flock, to be accepted it shall be perfect,

with no blemish on it.

22 (Lev 22:20; 1:9) Blind, or disabled, or maimed, or having

an ulcer or eczema or scabs, you shall not offer these to the Lord,

nor make a food offering by fire on the altar to the Lord.

23 (Lev 21:18) A herd animal or a flock animal that has a limb

that is too long or short you may offer for a freewill offering,

but for a vow it shall not be accepted.

24 (Lev 22:20) You shall not offer to the Lord an animal

that is bruised or crushed or torn or cut;

nor shall you make any offering of them in your land.

25 (Lev 21:6; 21:8) Nor from a foreigner shall you

offer an animal as the food of your God, because a blemish is in them

from their mutilation. They shall not be accepted for you.

26 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

27 (Ex 22:30; Lev 12:2–3; 19:23–24) When an ox, or a sheep, or a goat

is born, then it shall be seven days with its mother,

and from the eighth day and thereafter it shall be accepted

for a food offering made by fire to the Lord.

28 (Dt 22:6–7; Ex 23:19) But you shall not slaughter on the same day

an ox or a sheep and her young.

29 (Ps 107:22; 116:17) When you offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving

to the Lord, offer it so that it may be accepted.

30 On the same day it shall be eaten. You shall leave none of it

until the next day: I am the Lord.

31 (Dt 4:40; Lev 19:37) Therefore you shall keep My commandments

and do them: I am the Lord.

32 (Lev 18:21; 10:3) You shall not defile My holy name,

but I will be sanctified among the children of Israel:

I am the Lord who sanctifies you,

33 (Lev 11:45; Ex 6:7) who brought you out of the land of Egypt,

to be your God: I am the Lord.

2) Our Daily Bread for 20 Feb 2021

https://odb.org/CA/2021/02/20/strengthened-by-grace

entitled Strengthened by Grace



2 Timothy 2:1–4



A Good Soldier of Christ Jesus

1 (Eph 6:10; 2Ti 1:2) So you, my son, be strong in the grace

that is in Christ Jesus.

2 (1Ti 1:18; 6:12) Share the things that you have heard

from me in the presence of many witnesses with faithful men

who will be able to teach others also.

3 (1Ti 1:18; 2Ti 1:8) Endure hard times as a good soldier

of Jesus Christ.

4 (2Pe 2:20) No soldier on active duty entangles himself

with civilian affairs, that he may please the enlisting officer.



During the American Civil War, the penalty for desertion was execution.

But the Union armies rarely executed deserters

because their commander-in-chief, Abraham Lincoln, pardoned nearly

all of them. This infuriated Edwin Stanton, the Secretary of War,

who believed that Lincoln's leniency only enticed would-be deserters.

But Lincoln empathized with soldiers who had lost their nerve

and who had given in to their fear in the heat of battle.

And his empathy endeared him to his soldiers. They loved their

"Father Abraham," and their affection led the soldiers

to want to serve Lincoln all the more.



When Paul calls Timothy to join him in

"suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus" (2 Timothy 2:3),

he calls him to a tough job description.

A soldier is to be completely dedicated, hard-working, and selfless.

He's to serve his commanding officer, Jesus, wholeheartedly.

But in reality, we sometimes fail to be His good soldiers.

We don't always serve Him faithfully.

And so Paul's opening phrase is important:

"be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus" (v. 1).

Our Savior is full of grace. He empathizes with our weaknesses

and forgives our failures (Hebrews 4:15). And just as the Union

soldiers were encouraged by Lincoln's compassion, so believers

are strengthened by the grace of Jesus. We want to serve Him all

the more because we know He loves us.



By: Con Campbell



Reflect & Pray



How can the grace of Christ become a source of strength for you to serve Him?

What does it mean for you to suffer for Jesus?



Dear God, please strengthen me in the grace of Christ

that I may serve Him faithfully.



Week 2 - Saved by Grace - Day 7 - Oh, Freedom!



Rom 8:1-2



Life in the Spirit



1 (1Co 1:30; 2Co 5:17) There is therefore now no condemnation

for those who are in Christ Jesus,

who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

2 (1Co 15:45; Ro 6:18; Jn 8:32) For the law of the Spirit of life

in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death.



In the classic movie, I want to live! actress Susan Hayward

plays a woman convicted of murder and sentenced to be executed.

The suspence builds; the execution is delayed as the officials

wait for a word of pardon. Finally, the woman in executed;

the call comes, and the pardon has been granted, but it is too late.

When no pardon is granted, condemnation leads to death. Our sin

marks us as "guilty" before God, and we deserve the wages of sin,

which is death. But in Jesus Chirst, the pardon does come - and

it comes in time. Our sin deserves condemation by God, and yet

he forgives us because Christ paid the penalty for us,

But we face other kinds of condemnation as well - self-condemnation,

that internal accusation that we still, somehow, must pay the price

of our own sin. Others often condemn us as well, offering much less

forgiveness and mercy than God does. And the Enemy of our souls condemns

us, trying to convince us that we don't, after all, have real freedom

from sin.

Yet Pal tells us in Romans 8, "There is therefore now no condemnation

for those who are in Christ Jesus". God has forgiven us freely; he has

granted his pardon. And in light of his forgiveness, how can we live

under the condemnation of others - or even of ourselves?

We are free, Paul says - free from the "law of sin and death,"

free to live in the liberty of the Spirit. The stay of execution

has come: the pardon has been granted. Never again can we tried

for the same crimes: never again must we live under the burden

of condemnation.



Application



a) Have I ever lived under the burden of condemnation from myself

or others? Why?



b) How can Romans 8:1-2 help me live in freedom of such condemnation?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Joshua 1:5



5 (Dt 7:24; 31:6–8) No man will be able to stand against

you all the days of your life.

As I was with Moses, I will be with you.

I will not abandon you. I will not leave you.



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



God's Help in Times of Temptation



1 Cor 10:1-13



1 Corinthians 10



Warning Against Idolatry



1 (Ex 14:29; Ps 66:6) I would not want you to be unaware that

all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea,

2 and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea;

3 (Ex 16:35; Dt 8:3) all ate the same spiritual food;

4 (Ex 17:6; Nu 20:11) and all drank the same spiritual drink,

for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them,

and that Rock was Christ.

5 (Heb 3:17; Jude 1:5) But with many of them God was not well pleased,

and they were overthrown in the wilderness.

6 (Nu 11:4; 1Co 10:11) Now these things were our examples to the intent

that we should not lust after evil things as they lusted.

7 (Ex 32:19; 32:4) Neither be idolaters as were some of them.

As it is written,

“The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to revel.” (Ex 32:6. )

8 (Nu 25:1–9; 1Co 6:18) Neither let us commit sexual immorality as some

of them committed, when twenty-three thousand fell in one day.

9 (Nu 21:5–6; Ex 17:2) Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them

also tempted and were destroyed by serpents.

10 (Ex 12:23; Nu 16:41) Neither murmur, as some of them also murmured

and were destroyed by the destroyer.

11 (Ro 13:11) Now all these things happened to them for examples.

They are written as an admonition to us,

upon whom the end of the ages has come.

12 (Ro 11:20) Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed,

lest he fall.

13 (1Co 1:9; 2Pe 2:9) No temptation has taken you except what is common

to man. God is faithful, and He will not permit you to be tempted above

what you can endure, but will with the temptation also make a way

to escape, that you may be able to bear it.



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."





6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)





Alberta



Quick facts on Muslims in Alberta



Alberta 2015 population 4121700



est Muslim Population 195240



CNMM Networks: Calgary and Edmonton



It is estimated that Calgary has 82000 Muslims and Edmonton another 50000 .

Alberta may have a total as hihg as 195240 today.

Calgary is notable as the first Canadian city with a Muslim mayor. It's

become a prominent place of Islamic fundamentalism.

Edmonton's Muslim population is very diverse, with the legrest group

coming from Tanzania, followed by Somalia, and then North African countries

such as Egypt, Morocco, etc.

Muslims are coming to faith in JEsus! They overcome huge spiritual,

emotional and cultural hurdles to follow Christ. Yet their challenges still

continue, especially in growing in discpleship. They often fell lost in our

Western congreations, and euqally lost trying to find a church body with whom

they can identify. some are even being lured into Christian cult groups.



Please join us in praying for:

- The church to reach out to the growing Muslim populations in Alberta.

- for Canadian churches to start contextualised discipleship ministries to

Muslim-background believers.

- for Muslm-background believers to be well grounded spiritually and socially

in their faith and the Church.

- and for Muslim-background believers to share their faith with their

not-yet-believing family and friendship networks.

- for Farsi and Arabic fellowships to grow in spiritual maturity and outreach.

- for current and new workers among Muslims in these growing Muslim

in these growing Muslim population centres.



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]





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!







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, ...) .

7 If it is eaten at all on the third day, then it is contaminated.

I am bringing you will not vomit you out.

Leviticus 21



Rules for Priestly Conduct



1 (Eze 44:25; Lev 10:6–7) Then the Lord said to Moses: Speak to the priests,

the sons of Aaron, and say to them: None shall make himself unclean

for the dead among his people,

2 but for his closest relatives, that is, for his mother, his father,

his son, his daughter, his brother,

3 and his virgin sister (who is near him because she has not had a husband),

for her he may be made unclean.

4 And he shall not make himself unclean as a husband among his people

because of the dead and so defile himself.

5 (Dt 14:1; Eze 44:20; Lev 19:27–28) They shall not make bald areas

on their heads, nor shall they shave off the edges of their beards,

nor make any cuts in their flesh.

6 (Lev 3:11; 18:21) They shall be holy unto their God,

and not profane the name of their God;

for they offer the offerings of the Lord made by fire,

and the food of their God. Therefore they shall be holy.

7 (Lev 21:13–14; Eze 44:22) They shall not take a wife

who is a whore or has been defiled, nor shall they take

a woman divorced from her husband, for he is holy unto his God.

8 (Lev 21:6) You shall sanctify him, for he offers the food

of your God. He shall be holy to you, for I the Lord,

who sanctifies you, am holy.

9 (Ge 38:24) The daughter of any priest,

if she defiles herself by being a whore, she also defiles her father.

She shall be burned with fire.

10 (Lev 10:6–7; 16:32) He who is the high priest among his brothers,

on whose head the anointing oil was poured

and who is consecrated to wear the garments,

shall not dishevel his hair, nor tear his clothes;

11 (Nu 19:14; Lev 19:28; 21:1–2) nor shall he approach any dead body,

nor make himself unclean, even for his father or his mother;

12 (Lev 10:7; Ex 29:6–7) nor shall he go out of the sanctuary,

so as not to defile the sanctuary of his God,

for the consecration of the anointing oil of his God is upon him:

I am the Lord.

13 (Lev 21:7; Eze 44:22) He shall take a wife in her virginity.

14 (Lev 21:7_ A widow, or a divorced woman, or a defiled woman,

or a prostitute, these he shall not marry. But he shall take

for a wife a virgin of his own people,

15 so that he does not defile his offspring among his people,

for I am the Lord who sanctifies him.

16 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

17 (Lev 10:3; Nu 16:5) Speak to Aaron, saying:

None of your offspring in their generations

who has any blemish may approach to offer the food of his God.

18 (Lev 22:19–25) For whoever has a blemish, he shall not approach,

whether a blind or lame man, or one who has a physical flaw

on his face or a limb that is too long,

19 or a man who has a broken foot or broken hand,

20 (Dt 23:1) or a hunchback, or a dwarf, or who has a defect in his eye,

or eczema or scabs, or is a eunuch.

21 (Lev 21:6) No man who has a blemish from the offspring of Aaron

the priest shall come near to offer the food offerings of the Lord

made by fire. He has a blemish; he shall not come near to offer

the bread of his God.

22 (Lev 2:3; 2:10) He shall eat the food of his God,

both of the most holy and of the holy.

23 (Lev 21:12) Only he shall not go in through the veil

or come to the altar, because he has a blemish, so that

he does not defile My sanctuaries, for I am the Lord who sanctifies them.

24 Moses spoke this to Aaron, and to his sons,

and to all the children of Israel.

entitled We’re Not God



Ezekiel 28:1–10



Ezekiel 28

A Prophecy Against the King of Tyre

1 The word of the Lord came again to me, saying:

2 (Eze 28:9; 2Th 2:4; Isa 31:3) Son of man, say to the leader of Tyre,

Thus says the Lord God:

Because your heart is lifted up,

and you have said, “I am a god;

I sit in the seat of gods

in the midst of the seas,”

yet you are a man, and not God,

though you set your heart as the heart of God.

3 (Da 1:20; 5:11–12) You are wiser than Daniel;

there is no secret that is a match for you.

4 With your wisdom and with your understanding,

you have obtained riches for yourself,

and have obtained gold and silver

into your treasuries;

5 (Ps 62:10; 52:7) by your great wisdom, by your trade,

you have increased your riches,

and your heart is lifted up

because of your riches.

6 (Eze 28:2; Ex 9:17) Therefore thus says the Lord God:

Because you have set your heart

as the heart of God,

7 (Eze 31:12; 30:11) therefore, I will bring strangers upon you,

the most cruel of the nations;

and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom,

and defile your brightness.

8 (Eze 27:26–27; 27:34) They shall bring you down to the pit,

and you shall die the death of those who are slain

in the midst of the seas.

9 (Eze 28:2) Will you yet say before him who slays you,

"I am a god,:

although you are a man and not God,

in the hands of those who wound you?

10Eze 31:18; 32:19 You shall die the death of the uncircumcised

by the hand of strangers;

for I have spoken! says the Lord God.



In Mere Christianity, C. S. Lewis recommended asking ourselves

some questions to find out if we’re proud: "How much do I dislike

it when other people snub me, or refuse to take any notice of me,

. . . or patronize me, or show off?" Lewis saw pride as a vice

of the "utmost evil" and the chief cause of misery in homes

and nations. He called it a "spiritual cancer" that eats up

the very possibility of love, contentment, and even common sense.



Pride has been a problem throughout the ages. Through the prophet

Ezekiel, God warned the leader of the powerful coastal city of Tyre

against his pride. He said the king's pride would result in his downfall:

"Because you think you are . . . as wise as a god, I am going to bring

foreigners against you" (Ezekiel 28:6–7).

Then he would know he wasn't a god, but a mortal (v. 9).



In contrast to pride is humility, which Lewis named

as a virtue we receive through knowing God.

Lewis said that as we get in touch with Him,

we become "delightedly humble," feeling relieved

to be rid of the silly nonsense about our own dignity

that previously made us restless and unhappy.



The more we worship God, the more we'll know Him

and the more we can humble ourselves before Him.

May we be those who love and serve with joy and humility.



By: Amy Boucher Pye





Reflect & Pray



How did you answer Lewis' questions about

whether or not you're proud? Did that surprise you? Why or why not?



Almighty God, help me to revel in my identity as one You created,

knowing You are great and mighty and yet You love me.

3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation



Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools



Week 2 - Saved by Grace - Day 5 - Starting Over



2 Cor 5:17



17 (Jn 3:3; Ro 16:7) Therefore, if any man is in Christ,

he is a new creature. Old things have passed away.

Look, all things have become new.



"The trouble with turning over a new leaf," Gordon sighed,

"is that once you've done it twice, you're right back where

you started." Gordon, in his mid-fifties, had his job

"canceled" by a company wanting to cut back on retirement payments.

Out of work, with few prospects, he said wistfully,

"I wish I had the chance to start over again."

Many of us would echo Gordon's sentiments. Whether we have lost a job,

gone through a divorce, moved to another part of the country, or

experienced some lesser crisis, we often long for the chance to

begin again, fresh, without the shadow of past mistakes following us.

God's word offers just such an opportunity. Anyone who is in Christ,

Paul says in 2 Cor 5:17, is a "new creation". For the Christian, the past

is truly past - "all things are become new". In the forgiveness

and restoration of God's grace we can leave the past behind,

with all its mistakes, and enter into new life.

And the promise is not just for the newly saved. Those of us who

have been Christians for years need to hear the truth of 2 Cor 5:17 again,

for we accumulated some "new mistakes" since we came to Christ. Anyone who

is in Christ is a new creation; the freedom of forgiveness, of

"starting over" is available to all who call upon the name of the Lord.

We cannot every really "start over" simply by establishing New Year's

resolutions or turning over a new leaf. Only God gives us that opportunity;

his grace allows us to clear away the rubble of the past and begin again.

Everything becomes new in God's loving forgiveness.



Application



a) What "resolutions" have I made in an attempt to "start over"

in some area of struggle or failure in my life? Did my resolutions work?



b) What does 2 Cor 5:!7 mean for me at this point in my Crhsitian Life?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Mark 4:20-25



20 (Mk 4:8; Jn 15:4–5) "Still others are seed sown on good ground,

those who hear the word, and receive it, and bear fruit:

thirty, sixty, or a hundred times as much."



A Light Under a Basket

Lk 8:16–18



21 (Mt 5:15; Lk 8:16) He said to them, "Is a candle brought to be put

under a basket or under a bed and not to be set on a candlestick?

22 (Lk 8:17) For there is nothing hidden except to be revealed;

neither is anything kept secret except to be proclaimed.

23 (Mk 4:9; Mt 11:15)If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear."

24 (Mt 7:2) He said to them, "Take heed what you hear.

The measure you give will be measured for you,

and to you who hear will more be given.

25 (Mt 13:12; Lk 8:18) For to him who has will more be given.

And from him who has not will be taken, even what he has."



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



God's Help in Times of Temptation



Hebrews 4:14-16



Jesus the Great High Priest

14 (Heb 6:20; 1:2–3) Since then we have a great High Priest

who has passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God,

let us hold firmly to our confession.

15 (2Co 5:21; Jn 8:46) For we do not have a High Priest

who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses,

but One who was in every sense tempted like we are, yet without sin.

16 (Eph 3:12; Php 4:6–7) Let us then come with confidence

to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy

and find grace to help in time of need.



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."





6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)





Alberta



Quick facts on Muslims in Alberta



Alberta 2015 population 4121700



est Muslim Population 195240



CNMM Networks: Calgary and Edmonton



It is estimated that Calgary has 82000 Muslims and Edmonton another 50000 .

Alberta may have a total as hihg as 195240 today.

Calgary is notable as the first Canadian city with a Muslim mayor. It's

become a prominent place of Islamic fundamentalism.

Edmonton's Muslim population is very diverse, with the legrest group

coming from Tanzania, followed by Somalia, and then North African countries

such as Egypt, Morocco, etc.

Muslims are coming to faith in JEsus! They overcome huge spiritual,

emotional and cultural hurdles to follow Christ. Yet their challenges still

continue, especially in growing in discpleship. They often fell lost in our

Western congreations, and euqally lost trying to find a church body with whom

they can identify. some are even being lured into Christian cult groups.



Please join us in praying for:

- The church to reach out to the growing Muslim populations in Alberta.

- for Canadian churches to start contextualised discipleship ministries to

Muslim-background believers.

- for Muslm-background believers to be well grounded spiritually and socially

in their faith and the Church.

- and for Muslim-background believers to share their faith with their

not-yet-believing family and friendship networks.

- for Farsi and Arabic fellowships to grow in spiritual maturity and outreach.

- for current and new workers among Muslims in these growing Muslim

in these growing Muslim population centres.

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!







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, ...) .
