NUMBERS 31



Vengeance on the Midianites



1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

2 (Nu 27:13) "Avenge the children of Israel on the Midianites.

Afterward you will be gathered to your people."

3 (Lev 26:25) Moses spoke to the people, saying,

"Arm some of your men for war, and let them go against the Midianites

to give the vengeance of the Lord against Midian.

4 A thousand from each tribe, throughout all the tribes of Israel,

you will send to the war."

5 So there were delivered from the thousands of Israel

1000 of each tribe, 12000 armed for war.

6 (Nu 14:44; 10:8-9) Moses sent them to the war, a thousand from each tribe,

with Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, with the holy vessels

and the trumpets to sound the alarm in his hand.

7 (Jdg 21:11; 1Ki 11:15-16) They waged war against the Midianites,

as the Lord commanded Moses, and they killed every male.

8 (Nu 25:15; Jos 13:21-22) They killed the kings of Midian,

in addition to the rest of those who were killed:

Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba,

five kings of Midian. Balaam the son of Beor they also killed with the sword.

9 The children of Israel returned with the women of Midian and their children

and took their livestock, and all their flocks, and all their wealth for plunder.

10 They burned with fire all their cities in which they lived and all their camps.

11 (Dt 20:14; Jos 8:2) They took all the plunder and all the prey

of men and of beasts.

12 (Nu 22:1) They brought the captives, the prey, and the plunder to Moses,

to Eleazar the priest, to the assembly of the children of Israel,

and to the camp on the plains of Moab, which are by Jordan across from Jericho.

13 Moses and Eleazar the priest and all the leaders of the assembly went

to meet them outside the camp.

14 Moses was angry with the officers of the army, with the captains

over thousands, and captains over hundreds, who came from the battle.

15 (1Sa 15:3) Moses said to them, "Have you saved all the women alive?

16 (2Pe 2:15; Rev 2:14) These caused the children of Israel, through

the word of Balaam, to act unfaithfully against the Lord concerning

the thing of Peor, and there was a plague among the assembly of the Lord.

17 (Jdg 21:11-12) So now kill every male among the little ones,

and kill every woman who has known a man by lying with him.

18 (Dt 21:10-14) But keep alive for yourselves all the young girls

who have not known a man by lying with him.

19 (Nu 5:2; 19:11-22) "And you stay outside the camp seven days.

Whoever has killed any person and whoever has touched any slain,

purify both yourselves and your captives on the third day

and on the seventh day.

20 Purify all your clothes, and all that is made of skins,

and all work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood."

21 Eleazar the priest said to the fighting men of Israel who went

to the battle, "This is the ordinance of the law which the Lord

commanded Moses:

22 Only the gold, and the silver, the bronze, the iron, the tin,

and the lead,

23 (Nu 19:9; 19:17) everything that can go through the fire,

you will make it go through the fire, and it will be clean,

but some of it will be purified with the water of purification,

and all that cannot pass through the fire you will make go through the water.

24 (Lev 11:25) You will wash your clothes on the seventh day,

and you will be clean, and afterward you will come into the camp."



Dividing the Plunder



25 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

26 “Take the count of the plunder that was taken, of man and of beast,

you and Eleazar the priest, and the chief of the fathers of the assembly.

27 (Jos 22:8) And divide the prey into two parts between those that took

the war on themselves, who went out to battle, and between all the assembly.

28 (Nu 18:26; 31:30) And levy a tribute to the Lord

from the fighting men of Israel who went out to battle:

1 person out of 500, of the people and of the oxen, and of the donkeys,

and of the sheep;

29 take it from their half, and give it to Eleazar the priest

as an offering to the Lord.

30 (Nu 3:7-8; 3:25) Of the half of the children of Israel, you will take

one portion of fifty, of the people, of the oxen, of the donkeys,

and of the flocks, of all manner of beasts, and give them to the Levites,

who keep the guard of the tabernacle of the Lord.”

31 Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the Lord commanded Moses.

32 The plunder, being the rest of the prey, which the fighting men of Israel

had caught, was 675000 sheep,

33 72000 oxen,

34 and 61000 donkeys,

35 and 32 000 people in all, of women

who had not known a man by lying with him.

36 The half, which was the portion of those that went out to war,

was 337500 sheep.

37 And the Lord's tribute of the sheep was 675.

38 The oxen were 36000, of which the Lord's tribute was 72.

39 The donkeys were 30500, of which the Lord’s tribute was 61.

40 The people were 16000, of which the Lord’s tribute was 32 people.

41 (Nu 18:8; 18:19) Moses gave the tribute which was the Lord's offering

to Eleazar the priest, as the Lord commanded Moses.

42 Of the half of the children of Israel,

which Moses divided from the men who fought,

43 the half belonging to the assembly was 337500 sheep,

44 36000 oxen,

45 53500 donkeys,

46 and 16000 people.

47 (Nu 31:30) From the half of the children of Israel Moses took one out

of fifty, of man and of beast, and gave them to the Levites, who kept

the guard of the tabernacle of the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.

48 The officers who were over thousands of the army,

the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds,

came near to Moses,

49 and they said to Moses, "Your servants have taken

the count of the fighting men of Israel who are in our hand,

and not a man of us is missing.

50 (Ex 30:12; 30:15-16) We have brought an offering for the Lord,

what every man has gotten of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets,

rings, earrings, and pendants, to make an atonement for ourselves

before the Lord."

51 Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from them,

all in the form of fashioned articles.

52 All the gold of the offering that they offered up to the Lord,

of the captains of thousands and of the captains of hundreds,

was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels.

(About 420 pounds, or 190 kilograms. )

53 (Dt 20:14) The fighting men of Israel had taken plunder,

each man for himself.

54 (Ex 30:16) And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains

of thousands and of hundreds and brought it into the tent of meeting

as a memorial for the children of Israel before the Lord.



NUMBERS 32



The Tribes Settling in Gilead



1 (Nu 21:32; 32:3) Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad

had a very great number of livestock, and when they saw the land of Jazer

and the land of Gilead was a place for livestock,

2 the children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spoke to Moses,

and to Eleazar the priest, and to the leaders of the assembly, saying,

3 (Nu 32:34-38; Jos 13:17) "Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah,

and Hesh-bon, and Elealeh, and Sebam, and Nebo, and Beon,

4 (Nu 21:34; 21:24) the land which the Lord defeated before

the assembly of Israel is a land for livestock,

and your servants have livestock."

5 And they said, "If we have found mercy in your sight, let this land

be given to your servants for a possession,

and do not take us over the Jordan."

6 Moses said to the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben,

"Will your brothers go to war, and you will dwell here?

7 And why would you discourage the hearts of the children of Israel

from going over into the land which the Lord has given to them?

8 Thus your fathers did, when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to see the land.

9 When they went up to the Valley of Eshkol and saw the land,

they discouraged the hearts of the children of Israel so they would not go

into the land which the Lord had given them.

10 (Nu 14:11) And the anger of the Lord was inflamed on that day,

and He swore, saying,

11 (Nu 14:28-30) 'Surely none of the men who came up out of Egypt,

from twenty years old and older, will see the ground which I swore

to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, because they did not completely

follow Me,

12 (Dt 1:36; Nu 14:24) except Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite,

and Joshua the son of Nun, because they completely followed the Lord.'

13 (Nu 14:33-35) The anger of the Lord was inflamed against Israel,

and He made them wander in the wilderness forty years,

until all the generation that did evil in the eyes of the Lord was finished.

14 "Behold, you have risen up in your fathers' place, an increase of sinful

men, to increase more the burning anger of the Lord toward Israel.

15 (2Ch 15:2) If you turn away from following Him, He will again abandon

them in the wilderness, and you will destroy all this people."

16 They approached him and said, "We will build sheepfolds here for

our livestock and cities for our children.

17 (Jos 4:12-13) But we ourselves will be armed, ready

before the children of Israel, until we have brought them to their place.

Our little ones will dwell in the fortified cities

because of the inhabitants of the land.

18 We will not return to our houses until all the children of Israel

have inherited their inheritance.

19 (Jos 13:8) We will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan

or beyond, because our inheritance

fell to us on this side of the Jordan to the east."

20 (Jos 4:12-13) Moses said to them, "If you will do this thing, if you will

be armed before the Lord for war,

21 and all of you, each armed, will go over the Jordan before the Lord

until He has driven out His enemies from before Him

22 (Jos 22:9; Dt 3:20) and the land is subdued before the Lord, then after

that you will return and be exempt before the Lord and before Israel,

and this land will be your possession before the Lord.

23 (Ge 44:16; Isa 59:12) “But if you will not do so, you have sinned

against the Lord, and be sure your sin will find you out.

24 (Nu 32:16) Build for yourselves cities for your children

and folds for your sheep, and do that which has proceeded out of your mouth."

25 The children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying,

"Your servants will do as my lord commands.

26 (Jos 1:14) Our children, our wives, our flocks, and all our livestock

will be there in the cities of Gilead,

27 (Jos 4:12) but your servants will cross over, each man armed for war,

before the Lord to battle, as my lord says."

28 (Jos 1:13) So Moses commanded Eleazar the priest,

and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes

of the children of Israel.

29 And Moses said to them, "If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben

will cross over the Jordan with you, each man armed for battle

before the Lord, and the land will be subdued before you, you are

to give them the land of Gilead as a possession.

30 But if they do not cross over with you armed, they will have possessions

among you in the land of Canaan."

31 The children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying,

"As the Lord has said to your servants, so we will do.

32 We will cross over, armed before the Lord into the land of Canaan,

so the possession of our inheritance on this side of the Jordan may be ours."

33 (Jos 12:6; Dt 3:12-17) Moses gave to the children of Gad,

to the children of Reuben, and to half the tribe of Manasseh

the son of Joseph,

the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites

and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land with the cities

within the borders, the cities of the surrounding land.

34 (Dt 2:36; Nu 32:3) The children of Gad built Dibon and Ataroth and Aroer,

35 (Nu 32:1; 32:3) Atroth Shophan and Ja­zer and Jogbehah,

36 (Nu 32:3) Beth Nimrah and Beth Haran, fortified cities,

and folds for sheep.

37 (Nu 21:27; 32:3) And the children of Reuben built Heshbon

and Elealeh and Kiriathaim,

38 (Nu 32:3; Isa 46:1) Nebo and Baal Meon (their names being changed)

and Sibmah; and they named the other cities which they built.

39 (Ge 50:23) The children of Makir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead

and captured it and drove out the Amorites who were in it.

40 (Jos 17:1) Moses gave Gilead to Makir the son of Manasseh,

and he lived in it.

41 (Dt 3:14; Jdg 10:4) Jair the son of Manasseh went

and captured its small towns and called them Havvoth Jair.

42 Nobah went and captured Kenath and its villages

and called it Nobah, after his own name.

entitled The Reason for Writing



John 20:24-31



John 20



Jesus and Thomas



24 (Jn 11:16) But Thomas, one of the twelve, called The Twin,

was not with them when Jesus came.

25 Mk 16:11So the other disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord!"

But he said to them, "Unless I see the nail prints in His hands,

and put my finger in the nail prints, and put my hand in His side,

I will not believe."

26 (Jn 20:19) After eight days His disciples were again inside

with the doors shut, and Thomas was with them. Jesus came

and stood among them, and said, "Peace be with you."

27 (Jn 20:25) Then He said to Thomas, "Put your finger here,

and look at My hands. Put your hand here and place it in My side.

Do not be faithless, but believing."

28 (Isa 7:14; 9:6) Thomas answered Him, "My Lord and my God!"

29 (1Pe 1:8; 2Co 5:7) Jesus said to him, "Thomas, because you have seen Me,

you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen,

and have yet believed."



The Purpose of the Book



30 (Jn 21:25) Jesus performed many other signs in the presence

of His disciples, which are not written in this book.

31 (Jn 3:15-16; 10:10) But these are written that you might believe

that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may

have life in His name.



"The Lord is my high tower . . . . We left the camp singing."

On September 7, 1943, Etty Hillesum wrote those words on a postcard

and threw it from a train. Those were the final recorded words we would

hear from her. On November 30, 1943, she was murdered at Auschwitz.

Later, Hillesum's diaries of her experiences in a concentration camp

were translated and published. They chronicled her perspectives

on the horrors of Nazi occupation along with the beauty of God's world.

Her diaries have been translated into 67 languages

- a gift to all who would read and believe the good as well as the bad.



The apostle John didn't sidestep the harsh realities of Jesus' life on earth;

he wrote of both the good Jesus did and the challenges He faced.

The final words from his gospel give insight into the purpose behind

the book that bears his name.

Jesus performed "many other signs . . . which are not recorded" (20:30)

by John. But these, he says, were "written that you may believe" (v. 31).

John's "diary" ends on the note of triumph: "Jesus is the Messiah,

the Son of God." The gift of those gospel words allows us the opportunity

to believe and "have life in his name."



The Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) are diary accounts of God's love

for us. They’re words to read and believe and share, for they lead us

to life. They lead us to Christ.



By: John Blase





Reflect & Pray

How might it change the way you read the Gospels if you thought of them

as diaries? How are you being led to the heart of Christ through them?



Gracious God, thank You for the gift of the Scriptures, written down by

faithful hands so that I might believe and have life.





3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation



Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools



Week 5 Rejoice in Grace - Day 2 The Wardrobe of Joy Isaiah 61:10



10 I will greatly rejoice in the Lord,

my soul shall be joyful in my God;

for He has clothed me with the garments of salvation,

He has covered me with the robe of righteousness,

as a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments,

and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.



On her wedding day, the bride dresses carefully for the ceremony

that is about to take place. Never before has she spent so much time in preparation

for one relatively brief event. When she

looks in the mirror and rejoices in her happiness, she responds not out of vanity,

but for sheer joy as she anticipates the coming ceremeny.



God wants his people, lie that bride to be joyful, to rejoice in the Lord,

the Bridegroom. And he gives, through his grace, the garments of joy to his beloved ones.

He clothes us, Isaiah says, with salvation, and covers us with the robe of righteousness.



The wardrobe that God provides is not merely a utility garment, a coverall that hides

our sin from his eyes. It is his own righteousness in Christ,

given to us as a free gift, so that we might be united with him. And God himself, Isaiah says,

is filled with joy, adorning himself like a bridegroom.



When we truly see God's immeasurable gift in accepting us as him own, we also will

"greatly rejoice" in the Lord. He, the eternal god, Creator of the universe, desires to be

united with us, as a husband desires his wife! God does not simply accept us grudgingly,

reminding us of our unworthiness to be with him. Rather, he celbrates with unrestained joy

his oneness in Spirit with those he cals his own. And we, having been fully forgiven

and set free from sin, can rejoice unashamedly as well.



Application



a) Have I ever felt ashamed to draw close to God? Why?



b) What does this verse tell me about God's attitude towards me?





4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Proverbs 10:22



22 The blessing of the Lord makes rich,

and He adds no sorrow with it.



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



When you are Saddened by Loss



1 Cor 15:35-38,51-57



35 But someone will say, "How are the dead raised up?

With what body do they come?"

36 You fool! What you sow is not made alive unless it dies.

37 When you sow, you do not sow the body that shall be, but a bare kernel,

perhaps of wheat or of some other grain.

38 Then God gives it a body as He pleases, and to each seed its own body.



51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall

all be changed.

52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet,

for the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised incorruptible, a

nd we shall be changed.

53 For this corruptible will put on incorruption,

and this mortal will put on immortality.

54 When this corruptible will have put on incorruption,

and this mortal will have put on immortality,

then the saying that is written shall come to pass:

"Death is swallowed up in victory."

55 "O death, where is your sting?

O grave, where is your victory?"

56 The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law.

57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through

our Lord Jesus Christ!





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?)





Saskatchewan



Quick facts on Muslims in Saskatchewan



Saskatchewan 2015 population 1125400



est Muslim Population 17279



CNMM Networks: Saskatoon



Saskatoon has seen quick growth in its Muslim population over the past

5 years, which maybe as high as 5000 today. Islamic leaders have

focused specifically on this city , having twice already sent cohorts

of about 70 families to start mosques. There are now 7 Islamic centres

of worship and an ISlamic madrassah (school) located right next to a

Christian school.

Of particular concern recently is the number of young adults who grew up

in evangelical churches and converted to Islam. Most of these are young

women whowere wooed by Muslim man and became emotionally bonded.

Both prior to and after marrying, these women are known to convert to ISlam.



Agree in prayer with us for:

- entire congregations and individual believers to catch God's heart

and passion for reaching Muslims in Saskatoon and the other growing

Muslim population centres of Saskatchewan.

- for the eyes and understanding of Canadian youth to be opened to the

spiritual reality of Islam, and not deceived nor manipulated into

converting to a religion which cannot offer assurance of salvation.

- for the few workers among Muslims now engaged there, and for many more

to be raised up into effective witness.

- for prayer and training events that are starting in Saskatoon

to spread and grow to other cities.



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, ...) .

40 Moses told the children of Israel everything,

according to all that the Lord commanded Moses.



NUMBERS 30



The Law About Vows



1 (Nu 7:2) And Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the children

of Israel, saying: This is the thing that the Lord has commanded.

2 (Job 22:27; Ps 22:25) If a man vows a vow to the Lord, or swears

an oath to bind himself with a bond, he will not break his word.

He will do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.

3 If a woman makes a vow to the Lord, and binds herself by a bond,

while in her father’s house in her youth,

4 and her father hears her vow and her bond with which she has bound

herself, and her father is silent to her, then all her vows will stand,

and every bond with which she has bound herself will stand.

5 But if her father restrains her in the day he hears, none of her vows

or her bonds with which she has bound herself will stand,

and the Lord will forgive her, because her father restrained her.

6 (Ps 56:12) If she had a husband when she vowed, or uttered anything

out of her lips with which she bound herself,

7 and her husband heard it and was silent to her in the day that he heard it,

then her vows will stand, and her bonds with which she bound herself will stand.

8 (Ge 3:16) But if her husband restrains her on the day that he heard it,

then he will make her vow which she vowed and that which she uttered

with her lips, with which she bound herself, of no effect,

and the Lord will forgive her.

9 But every vow of a widow and of her that is divorced,

with which she has bound herself, will stand against her.

10 If she vowed in her husband's house, or bound herself by a bond

with an oath,

11 and her husband heard it and was silent to her and did not restrain her,

then all her vows will stand, and every bond with

which she bound herself will stand.

12 (Nu 30:8) But if her husband has clearly voided them on the day

he heard them, then whatever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows,

or concerning the bond of herself, will not stand. Her husband

has voided them, and the Lord will forgive her.

13 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict her soul,

her husband may establish, or her husband may nullify.

14 But if her husband says nothing to her from day to day,

then he confirms all her vows, or all her pledges, which bind her.

He confirms them because he said nothing to her on the day that he heard them.

15 (Lev 5:1) But if he clearly makes them void after he has heard them,

then he will bear her iniquity.

16These are the statutes which the Lord commanded Moses,

between a man and his wife, and between the father and his daughter,

while she is still young and in her father's house.

Danel 9:1-5.17-19



DANIEL 9



The Prayer of Daniel



1 (Da 11:1) In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus of the lineage

of the Medes, who was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans,

2 (2Ch 36:21; Jer 29:10) in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, observed

in the books the number of the years which were specified by the word

of the Lord to Jeremiah the prophet for the accomplishment

of the desolations of Jerusalem, that is, seventy years.

3 I set my face toward the Lord God to seek by prayer

and supplications with fasting and sackcloth and ashes.

4 (Dt 7:9; Ne 9:32) And I prayed to the Lord my God,

and made my confession, and said,

"Alas, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping His covenant

and mercy to those who love Him, and to those who keep His commandments.

5 (Ps 106:6; Isa 64:5-7) We have sinned and have committed iniquity

and have done wickedly and have rebelled, even by departing

from Your precepts and from Your judgments."

17 (Ps 80:19; La 5:18) “Now therefore, O God, hear the prayer of Your servant

and his supplications, and for Your sake, O Lord, cause Your face to shine

upon Your sanctuary, which is desolate.

18 (Isa 37:17; Jer 25:29) O my God, incline Your ear and hear. Open Your eyes

and look at our desolations and the city which is called by Your name, for

we do not present our supplications before You for our righteousness,

but for Your great mercies.

19 (Jer 14:9; Da 9:18) O Lord, hear! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, listen and act!

Do not defer, for Your own sake, O my God. For Your city

and Your people are called by Your name.”



A family's prayer time ended with a surprising announcement one morning.

As soon as Dad said, "Amen," five-year-old Kaitlyn proclaimed,

"And I prayed for Logan, because he had his eyes open during prayer."



I’m pretty sure praying for your ten-year-old brother's prayer protocol isn't

what Scripture has in mind when it calls us to intercessory prayer,

but at least Kaitlyn realized that we can pray for others.



Bible teacher Oswald Chambers emphasized the importance of praying

for someone else. He said that "intercession is putting yourself in God's

place; it is having His mind and perspective." It's praying for others in

light of what we know about God and His love for us.



We find a great example of intercessory prayer in Daniel 9.

The prophet understood God's troubling promise that the Jews would have

seventy years of captivity in Babylon (Jeremiah 25:11-12). Realizing that

those years were nearing their completion, Daniel went into prayer mode.

He referenced God's commands (Daniel 9:4-6), humbled himself (v. 8),

honored His character (v. 9), confessed sin (v. 15),

and depended on His mercy as he prayed for His people (v. 18).

And he got an immediate answer from God (v. 21).



Not all prayer ends with such a dramatic response,

but be encouraged that we can go to God on behalf of others

with an attitude of trust and dependence on Him.



By: Dave Branon





Reflect & Pray

When you pray for others, how are you seeking the mind of God?

How do you seek His perspective?



Dear heavenly Father, help me to know You better so that

when I pray for others, I can filter my requests through

my knowledge of Your will.



3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation



Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools



Week 5 Rejoice in Grace - Day 1 Call to the Lord - 2 Samuel 22:3-4



3 (Ge 15:1; Ps 9:9) the God of my strength, in whom I will trust;

my shield and the horn of my salvation,

my fortress and my sanctuary;

my Savior, You save me from violence.



4 (Ps 48:1; 96:4) I call upon the Lord, who is praiseworthy,

and I am saved from my enemies.



In the old Days of Television Western, we could always tell who the enemy was. The bad

guys wore black hats; the evil villain had a scar across

his cheek or a patch over one eye. But real life is

not quite so simple . Emenies come in many forms, and often are not easy to

recognise. Sin is an enemy; even those we love can seek to undermine our faith;

modern meterialism and distorted values lead us away from biblical principles.

These enemies may not seek our death in a physical sense,

but their influence results in spritual death or, at the very least,

immaturity.



Yet God promises to rescue us from our enemies. David describes the Lord as a

"rock", a "shield", a "stronghold", and a "refuge". God provides a stable foundation

for our faith; he products us from the attacks of the enemy; he offers a place

of rest in battle.



Our battles are usually not physical ones, but rather spiritual and emotional wars.

We struggle with difficult relationships, the burdens of the past, the subtle accusations

of the devil.



But these enemies can be overcome. David says, "I call to the Lord, who is worthy of praise" .

When we turn to the Lord, trust his Word, acknowledge his

worthiness, we put our own problems and difficulties in perspective. We see that God is able

to rescue us, and has promised to do so. And as we resond to his grace by focusing

on him, we abandon trust in ourselves and allow him to do what he promised.



Application



a) What kinds of enemies do I face?



b) How have I tried to deal with those enemies by myself?



c) How can today's verses help me turn to the sources of my rescue?





44) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Ps 37:25-26



25 I have been young, and now am old;



yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken,



nor their offspring begging bread.



26 The righteous are gracious and lend,



and their offspring are a source of blessing.





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





When you are ill or injured



Matthew 8:14-17



The Healing of Many People



Mk 1:29-34; Lk 4:38-41



14 When Jesus entered Peter's house, He saw his wife's mother, lying sick with a fever.



15 He touched her hand, and the fever left her. And she rose and served them.



16 When the evening came, they brought to Him many who were possessed with demons.



And He cast out the spirits with His word, and healed all who were sick,



17 to fulfill what was spoken by Isaiah the prophet,



"He Himself took our infirmities



and bore our sicknesses."



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?)





Saskatchewan



Quick facts on Muslims in Saskatchewan



Saskatchewan 2015 population 1125400



est Muslim Population 17279



CNMM Networks: Saskatoon



Saskatoon has seen quick growth in its Muslim population over the past

5 years, which maybe as high as 5000 today. Islamic leaders have

focused specifically on this city , having twice already sent cohorts

of about 70 families to start mosques. There are now 7 Islamic centres

of worship and an ISlamic madrassah (school) located right next to a

Christian school.

Of particular concern recently is the number of young adults who grew up

in evangelical churches and converted to Islam. Most of these are young

women whowere wooed by Muslim man and became emotionally bonded.

Both prior to and after marrying, these women are known to convert to ISlam.



Agree in prayer with us for:

- entire congregations and individual believers to catch God's heart

and passion for reaching Muslims in Saskatoon and the other growing

Muslim population centres of Saskatchewan.

- for the eyes and understanding of Canadian youth to be opened to the

spiritual reality of Islam, and not deceived nor manipulated into

converting to a religion which cannot offer assurance of salvation.

- for the few workers among Muslims now engaged there, and for many more

to be raised up into effective witness.

- for prayer and training events that are starting in Saskatoon

to spread and grow to other cities.



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, ...) .
