DIY Faith - "Avoiding DIY disasters"



4 areas to help avoid DIY disasters



A) It is NOT all about YOU - James 4:1-3



James 3:16 - 18 :



16 (1Co 3:3; Jas 3:14) For where there is envying and strife,

there is confusion and every evil work.

17 (Ro 12:9; Jas 2:4) But the wisdom that is from above is first pure,

then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits,

without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

18 (Pr 11:18; Mt 5:9) And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace

by those who make peace.



[16] For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

[17] But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable,

gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without

partiality, and without hypocrisy.

[18] And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.



James 4

Friendship With the World



1 (Ro 7:23; 1Pe 2:11) Where do wars and fights among you come from?

Do they not come from your lusts that war in your body?

2 You lust and do not have, so you kill.

You desire to have and cannot obtain. You fight and war.

Yet you do not have, because you do not ask.

3 (1Jn 5:14; 3:22) You ask, and do not receive, because you ask amiss,

that you may spend it on your passions.



James 4

[1] From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even

of your lusts that war in your members?

[2] Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain:

ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.

[3] Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it

upon your lusts.





i) Examine our hearts and motives - be honest and transparent

ii) Repent for sinful and selfish motives

iii) Ask God correctly



1 John 3:21-22



21 (Job 22:26; 1Co 4:4) Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us,

then we have confidence before God.

22 (Jn 8:29; 9:31) And whatever we ask, we will receive from Him,

because we keep His commandments and do the things that are pleasing

in His sight.



[21] Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.

[22] And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his

commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.



John 15:5,7



5 (Php 4:13; Jn 15:16) "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who remains

in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit. For without Me you can do nothing.

7 (Jn 14:13; 15:16) If you remain in Me, and My words remain in you,

you will ask whatever you desire, and it shall be done for you.



[5] I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him,

the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

[7] If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will,

and it shall be done unto you.



B) Who's Got You Back - James 4:4-6



4 (Jn 15:19; Ro 8:7) You adulterers and adulteresses, do you not know

that the friendship with the world is **enmity** with God? Whoever therefore

will be a friend of the world is the **enemy** of God.

5 Do you think that the Scripture says in vain, "He yearns jealously

for the spirit that lives in us"(The source of this quotation is uncertain.)?

6 (Pr 3:34; 1Pe 5:5) But He gives more grace. For this reason it says:

"God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble."(Pr 3:34.)



[4] Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the

world is **enmity** with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world

is the **enemy** of God.

[5] Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth

in us lusteth to envy?

[6] But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud,

but giveth grace unto the humble.



Matthew 6:24



24 (Lk 16:13; 16:11; 16:9) "No one can serve two masters. For either he will

hate the one and love the other, or else he will hold to the one and despise

the other. You cannot serve God and money."



24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love

the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot

serve God and mammon.



Grace and Humility are the keys to fixing this issue.



1 Cor 2:9



9 (Isa 64:4; Mt 25:34) But as it is written,

"Eye has not seen,

nor ear heard,

nor has it entered into the heart of man

the things which God has prepared for those who love Him."



9 But as it is written,

Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard,

Neither have entered into the heart of man,

The things which God hath prepared for them that love him.



Romans 8:31



31 (Ps 118:6; Ro 4:1) What then shall we say to these things? If God is for

us, who can be against us?



31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be

against us?



God gives grace tothe humble and opposes the proud.



C) Go Low to Go high - James 4: 7 - 10



7 (Eph 4:27; 1Pe 5:8-9) Therefore submit yourselves to God.

Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

8 (2Ch 15:2; Jas 1:8) Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.

Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

9 (Lk 6:25; Pr 14:13) Grieve and mourn and weep.

Let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to ­dejection.

10 (Mt 23:12) Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord,

and He will lift you up.



[7] Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee

from you.

[8] Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye

sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

[9] Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to

mourning, and your joy to heaviness.

[10] Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.



Rev 3:16 16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot,

I will spit you out of My mouth. ( I feel that way about lukewarm water as well)



16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot,

I will spue thee out of my mouth.



i) Lower our pride

ii) Submit to God and resist the devil

iii) Repent for being double-minded

iv) Choose to humble ourselves before Him.



D) You are not Judge Judy - James 4:11-12



Judging a Brother



11 (1Pe 2:1; Jas 5:9) Do not speak evil of one another, brothers.

He who speaks evil of his brother and judges his brother speaks

evil of the law and judges the law. If you judge the law,

you are not a doer of the law, but a judge.

12 (Mt 10:28; Ro 14:4; Isa 33:22) There is one Lawgiver who is able

to save and to destroy. Who are you to judge another?



[11] Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his

brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the

law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.

[12] There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou

that judgest another?



Matthew 7:1



1 (Lk 6:37; Jas 4:11–12)"Judge not, that you be not judged."



1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.



i) Tame your tongue

ii) Stop criticising, gossiping, judging

iii) Obey the law - Love God & Love others



John 13:35



35 (Jn 17:21) "By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you

have love for one another.”



35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love

one to another.



1 Thess 5:11



11 (Eph 4:29; Heb 10:25) So comfort yourselves together,

and edify one another, just as you are doing.



11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another,

even as also ye do.



Sermon conclusion



I) It's NOT all about You - putting God and others first

II) Who's Got You back? = Having our heart and passion completely towards

God and not the world.

III) Go Low to Go High - Walking in humility and God's Grace.

iV) Judge Judy is not God - Neither are we. We aren't to judge others - only

love and encourage them.



1)Ezekiel 34-36



Ezekiel 34



A Prophecy Against Israel's Shepherds



1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

2 (Jer 23:1; Ps 78:71-72) Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds

of Israel. Prophesy and say to those shepherds, Thus says the Lord God:

Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Should not

the shepherds feed the flock?

3 (Zec 11:16; 11:5) You eat the fat and clothe yourself with the wool;

you kill those who are fed without feeding the flock.

4 (Ex 1:13-14; Eze 34:16) The diseased you have not strengthened,

nor have you healed that which was sick, nor have you bound up

that which was broken, nor have you brought back that which was driven away,

nor have you sought that which was lost. But with force and with cruelty

you have subjugated them.

5 (Mt 9:36; 1Ki 22:17) They were scattered because there was no shepherd.

And they became meat to all the beasts of the field and were scattered.

6 (Ps 142:4; 1Pe 2:25) My sheep wandered through all the mountains

and upon every high hill. Indeed, My flock was scattered upon

all the face of the earth, and no one searched or sought after them.

7 Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord:

8 As I live, says the Lord God, surely because My flock became a prey,

and My flock even became meat to every beast of the field, because

there was no shepherd, nor did My shepherds search for My flock;

but the shepherds fed themselves and did not feed My flock,

9 therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord.

10 (Jer 21:13; Eze 13:8) Thus says the Lord God: I am against the shepherds.

And I will require My flock from their hand and cause them to cease from

feeding the flock. Nor shall the shepherds feed themselves anymore,

for I will deliver My flock from their mouth so that they may not be

meat for them.



The True Shepherd



11 (Lk 19:10) For thus says the Lord God: I, even I, will search

for My sheep and seek them out.

12 (Eze 30:3; Jer 13:16) As a shepherd seeks out his flock in the day

that he is among his sheep that are scattered, so I will seek out My sheep

and will deliver them out of all the places where they have been scattered

in a cloudy and dark day.

13 (Eze 11:17) I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them

from the countries, and bring them to their own land, and feed them upon

the mountains of Israel by the rivers and in all the inhabited

places of the country.

14 (Jn 10:9; Jer 31:12-14) I will feed them in a good pasture,

and upon the high mountains of Israel their grazing ground shall be.

There they shall lie on good grazing ground, and in a rich pasture

they shall feed upon the mountains of Israel.

15 I will feed My flock, and I will cause them to lie down, says the Lord God.

16 (Isa 10:16; 49:26) I will seek that which was lost and bring back

that which was driven away and bind up that which was broken

and will strengthen that which was sick. But I will destroy the fat

and the strong. I will feed them with judgment.

17 (Mt 25:32-33; Eze 34:20-22) As for you, O My flock, thus says

the Lord God: I will judge between sheep and cattle, between the rams

and the male goats.

18 (Nu 16:9; 16:13) Does it seem a small thing to you to have eaten up

the good pasture, that you must tread down with your feet the rest

of your pastures? Or that you should drink of the clear waters,

that you must foul the rest with your feet?

19 And as for My flock, they eat that which you have trodden with your feet,

and they drink that which you have fouled with your feet.

20 Therefore thus says the Lord God to them: I, even I, will judge between

the fat sheep and between the lean sheep.

21 (Dt 33:17; Lk 13:14-16) Because you have thrust with side

and with shoulder, and pushed all the diseased with your horns

until you have scattered them abroad,

22 (Ps 72:12-14; Jer 23:2-3) therefore I will save My flock, and they shall

no more be a prey. And I will judge between one sheep and another.

23 (Isa 40:11; Jn 10:11) I will set up one shepherd over them,

and he shall feed them, even My servant David. He shall feed

them himself and be their shepherd.

24 (Eze 36:28; 37:27) I the Lord will be their God, and My servant David

shall be prince among them. I the Lord have spoken.

25 (Isa 11:6-9; Lev 26:6) I will make with them a covenant of peace

and will cause the wild beasts to cease from the land so that they dwell

safely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods.

26 (Ge 12:2; Isa 44:3) I will make them and the places all around My hill

a blessing. And I will cause the showers to come down in their season.

They shall be showers of blessing.

27 (Jer 30:8; Lev 26:13) The tree of the field shall yield its fruit,

and the ground shall yield its increase, and they shall be safe in their land.

Then they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have broken the bands

of their yoke and delivered them out of the hand of those who enslaved them.

28 (Jer 30:10; Eze 34:25) They shall no more be a prey to the nations,

nor shall the beast of the land devour them. But they shall dwell safely

and no one shall make them afraid.

29 (Eze 36:29; Isa 4:2) I will raise up for them a planting place of renown,

and no more shall they be consumed with hunger in the land, nor shall

they bear the shame of the nations anymore.

30 (Ps 46:7; 46:11) Thus shall they know that I, the Lord their God,

am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are My people,

says the Lord God.

31 (Ps 100:3; 78:52) As for you, My flock, the flock of My pasture,

you are men, and I am your God, says the Lord God.



Ezekiel 34

[1] And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

[2] Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say

unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto the shepherds; Woe be to the

shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed

the flocks?

[3] Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that are

fed: but ye feed not the flock.

[4] The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that

which

was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye

brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which

was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them.

[5] And they were scattered, because there is no shepherd: and they became

meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered.

[6] My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill:

yea, my flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth, and none did

search or seek after them.

[7] Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;

[8] As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely because my flock became a prey,

and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because there was no

shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock, but the shepherds

fed themselves, and fed not my flock;

[9] Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;

[10] Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I

will

require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the

flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will

deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them.

[11] For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, will both search my

sheep, and seek them out.

[12] As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his

sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver

them

out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark

day.

[13] And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the

countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the

mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the

country.

[14] I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of

Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a

fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel.

[15] I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the

Lord

GOD.

[16] I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven

away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that

which

was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with

judgment.

[17] And as for you, O my flock, thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I judge

between cattle and cattle, between the rams and the he goats.

[18] Seemeth it a small thing unto you to have eaten up the good pasture,

but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures? and to

have drunk of the deep waters, but ye must foul the residue with your feet?

[19] And as for my flock, they eat that which ye have trodden with your

feet; and they drink that which ye have fouled with your feet.

[20] Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD unto them; Behold, I, even I, will

judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle.

[21] Because ye have thrust with side and with shoulder, and pushed all the

diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad;

[22] Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey;

and I

will judge between cattle and cattle.

[23] And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even

my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.

[24] And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David a prince among

them; I the LORD have spoken it.

[25] And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil

beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the

wilderness, and sleep in the woods.

[26] And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing;

and

I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers

of blessing.

[27] And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall

yield her increase, and they shall be safe in their land, and shall know

that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bands of their yoke, and

delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves of them.

[28] And they shall no more be a prey to the heathen, neither shall the

beast of the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely, and none shall

make them afraid.

[29] And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no

more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame of the

heathen

any more.

[30] Thus shall they know that I the LORD their God am with them, and that

they, even the house of Israel, are my people, saith the Lord GOD.

[31] And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men, and I am your God,

saith the Lord GOD.



Ezekiel 35



A Prophecy Against Edom



1 Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

2 (Ge 32:3; Eze 6:2) Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir

and prophesy against it,

3 (Jer 6:12; 15:6) and say to it, Thus says the Lord God: I am against you,

O Mount Seir, and I will stretch out My hand against you, and I will make

you a desolation and a waste.

4 (Eze 35:9; Mal 1:3-4) I will lay your cities waste, and you shall

become a desolation. Then you shall know that I am the Lord.

5 (Ps 137:7; Eze 21:25; 21:29) Because you have had a perpetual hatred

and have delivered the sons of Israel to the power of the sword

in the time of their calamity, in the time of the punishment of the end,

6 (Isa 63:2-6) therefore, as I live, says the Lord God, I will prepare you

for bloodshed, and bloodshed shall pursue you. Since you have not hated

bloodshed, therefore blood shall pursue you.

7 (Eze 29:11; 35:3) Thus I will make Mount Seir a desolation and a waste,

and cut off from it the one who passes through and the one who returns.

8 (Eze 31:12; 32:4-5) I will fill its mountains with its slain men.

On your hills and in your valleys and in all your rivers, they shall fall

who are slain with the sword.

9 (Eze 6:7; 25:13) I will make you a perpetual desolation,

and your cities shall not be inhabited. Then you shall know that

I am the Lord.

10 (Eze 36:5; 48:35) Because you have said, "These two nations

and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess them,"

whereas the Lord was there,

11 (Ps 9:16; Mt 7:2) therefore, as I live, says the Lord God,

I will treat you according to your anger and according to your envy,

which you have showed out of your hatred against them. And I will make

Myself known among them when I have judged you.

12 (Eze 36:2) Then you shall know that I, the Lord, have heard all

your blasphemies which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel,

saying, "They are laid desolate. They are given to us to consume."

13 (Da 11:36; 1Sa 2:3) Thus with your mouth you have boasted against Me

and have multiplied your words against Me. I have heard them.

14 Thus says the Lord God: When the whole earth rejoices,

I will make you a desolation.

15 (Isa 34:5-6; La 4:21) As you rejoiced at the inheritance

of the house of Israel because it was desolate, so I will do to you.

You shall be a desolation, O Mount Seir, and all Edom, all of it.

Then they shall know that I am the Lord.



Ezekiel 35

[1] Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

[2] Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,

[3] And say unto it, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O mount Seir, I am

against thee, and I will stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will make

thee most desolate.

[4] I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt

know that I am the LORD.

[5] Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed the blood of the

children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity,

in the time that their iniquity had an end:

[6] Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will prepare thee unto

blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith thou hast not hated blood, even

blood shall pursue thee.

[7] Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that

passeth out and him that returneth.

[8] And I will fill his mountains with his slain men: in thy hills, and in

thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they fall that are slain with the

sword.

[9] I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not return:

and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

[10] Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall

be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the LORD was there:

[11] Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will even do according to

thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy

hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have

judged thee.

[12] And thou shalt know that I am the LORD, and that I have heard all thy

blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying,

They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume.

[13] Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, and have multiplied

your words against me: I have heard them.

[14] Thus saith the Lord GOD; When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make

thee desolate.

[15] As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel,

because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O

mount Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it: and they shall know that I am

the LORD.



Ezekiel 36



A Prophecy to the Mountains of Israel



1 As for you, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel and say:

O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord.

2 (Dt 32:13; Eze 25:3) Thus says the Lord God: Because theenemy has said

against you, "Aha! Even the ancient high places are our possession,"

3 (Ps 44:13-14; Jer 18:16) therefore, prophesy and say: Thus says the Lord

God: For good reason they have made you desolate and swallowed you up

on every side so that you might become a possession to the rest

of the nations, and you have been taken up on the lips of talkers

and are an infamy of the people.

4 (Dt 11:11; Eze 34:28) Therefore, O mountains of Israel, hear the word

of the Lord God: Thus says the Lord God to the mountains and to the hills,

to the rivers and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes and to the cities

that are forsaken, which became a prey and derision to the rest

of the nations that are all around;

5 (Eze 36:3; Dt 4:24) therefore thus says the Lord God: Surely in the fire

of My jealousy I have spoken against the rest of the nations and against

all Edom, who have arrogated My land into their possession with the joy of all

their hearts and with a spiteful soul, to cast it out for a prey.

6 (Ps 123:3-4; Eze 34:29) Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel

and say to the mountains and to the hills, to the rivers and to the valleys:

Thus says the Lord God: I have spoken in My jealousy and in My fury, because

you have borne the shame of the nations.

7 (Eze 20:5) Therefore, thus says the Lord God: I have lifted up My hand

that surely the nations who are about you shall themselves bear

their invectives.

8 (Isa 27:6; 4:2) But you, O mountains of Israel, you shall shoot forth

your branches and yield your fruit for My people Israel.

For they shall come soon.

9 For I am for you, and I will turn to you, and you shall be tilled and sown.

10 (Eze 36:33; Isa 27:6) And I will multiply men upon you, all the house

of Israel, all of it. And the cities shall be inhabited, and the waste places

shall be built.

11 (Mic 7:14; Jer 30:18) And I will multiply man and beast upon you. And they

shall increase and bring forth fruit. AndI will settle you as you were before

and do better to you than at the beginning. Thus you shall know that

I am the Lord.

12 (Jer 15:7) Indeed, I will cause men to walk upon you, My people Israel,

and they shall possess you, and you shall be their inheritance,

and you shall no longer bereave them of children.

13 (Nu 13:32) Thus says the Lord God: Because they say to you,

"You are a devourer of men and have bereaved your nation of children,"

14 therefore you shall devour men no more or bereave your nation of children

anymore, says the Lord God.

15 (Ps 89:50; Eze 34:29) Nor will I cause men to hear in you the invectives

of the nations anymore, nor shall you bear the reproach of the peoples

anymore, nor shall you cause your nation to fall anymore, says the Lord God.



The Restoration of Israel



16 Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

17 (Jer 2:7) Son of man, when the house of Israel lived in their own land,

they defiled it by their ways and their deeds. Their way was before Me

as the uncleanness of a woman in her impurity.

18 (2Ch 34:21; La 2:4) Therefore I poured My fury upon them for the blood

that they had shed upon the land and for their idols with which they

had polluted it.

19 (Dt 28:64; Eze 39:24) And I scattered them among the nations,

and they were dispersed throughout the countries. According to their ways

and according to their deeds, I judged them.

20 (Isa 52:5; Ro 2:24) When they entered the nations, where they went,

they profaned My holy name, because they said of them,

"These are the people of the Lord and have gone out of His land."

21 (Ps 74:18; Isa 48:9) But I had pity for My holy name, which the house

of Israel had profaned among the nations where they went.

22 (Eze 36:32; Dt 7:7-8) Therefore say to the house of Israel,

Thus says the Lord God: I do not do this for your sake, O house of Israel,

but for My holy name's sake which you have profaned among the nations

where you went.

23 (Eze 20:41; Isa 5:16) I will vindicate the sanctity of My great name

which was profaned among the nations, which you have profaned in their midst.

Then the nations shall know that I am the Lord, says the Lord God,

when I shall be sanctified among you before their eyes.

24 (Eze 37:21; 34:13) For I will take you from among the nations and gather

you out of all countries and will bring you into your own land.

25 (Heb 10:22; Ps 51:7) Then I will sprinkle clean water upon you,

and you shall be clean. From all your filthiness and from all your idols,

I will cleanse you.

26 (Ps 51:10; Eze 11:19-20) Also, I will give you a new heart,

and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will take away the stony heart

out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.

27 (Eze 37:14; Isa 59:21) I will put My Spirit within you and cause you

to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them.

28 (Eze 37:27; 11:20) You will dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers.

And you will be My people, and I will be your God.

29 (Hos 2:21-23; Mt 1:21) I will also save you from all your uncleanness.

And I will call for the grain and increase it and lay no famine upon you.

30 (Eze 34:27) I will multiply the fruit of the tree and the increase

of the field so that you shall receive no more reproach of famine

among the nations.

31 (Eze 6:9; 20:43) Then you shall remember your evil ways and your deeds

that were not good, and shall loathe yourselves in your own sight

for your iniquities and your abominations.

32 (Dt 9:5; Eze 36:22) Not for your sake am I doing this, says the Lord God,

let it be known to you. Be ashamed and humiliated for your ways,

O house of Israel!

33 (Eze 36:10; Isa 58:12) Thus says the Lord God: On the day that I cleanse

you from all your iniquities, I will cause you to dwell in the cities,

and the waste places shall be built.

34 The desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in the sight

of all who pass by.

35 (Isa 51:3; Joel 2:3) They shall say, "This land that was desolate

has become like the garden of Eden. And the waste and desolate

and ruined cities have become fenced and inhabited."

36 (Eze 17:24; 22:14) Then the nations that are left all around you shall

know that I the Lord have built the ruined places and planted that which

was desolate. I the Lord have spoken it, and I will do it.

37 (Eze 14:3) Thus says the Lord God: This also I will let the house

of Israel ask Me to do for them: I will increase their men like a flock.

38 (Jn 10:16) As the flock for sacrifices, as the flock of Jerusalem in her

solemn feasts, so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men.

Then they shall know that I am the Lord.



Ezekiel 36

[1] Also, thou son of man, prophesy unto the mountains of Israel, and say,

Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD:

[2] Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the enemy hath said against you, Aha,

even the ancient high places are ours in possession:

[3] Therefore prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because they have

made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that ye might be a

possession unto the residue of the heathen, and ye are taken up in the lips

of talkers, and are an infamy of the people:

[4] Therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus

saith the Lord GOD to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to

the valleys, to the desolate wastes, and to the cities that are forsaken,

which became a prey and derision to the residue of the heathen that are

round about;

[5] Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Surely in the fire of my jealousy

have I spoken against the residue of the heathen, and against all Idumea,

which have appointed my land into their possession with the joy of all their

heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for a prey.

[6] Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say unto the

mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, Thus saith

the Lord GOD; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury, because

ye have borne the shame of the heathen:

[7] Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I have lifted up mine hand, Surely

the heathen that are about you, they shall bear their shame.

[8] But ye, O mountains of Israel, ye shall shoot forth your branches, and

yield your fruit to my people of Israel; for they are at hand to come.

[9] For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn unto you, and ye shall be

tilled and sown:

[10] And I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, even all of

it: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the wastes shall be builded:

[11] And I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and

bring fruit: and I will settle you after your old estates, and will do

better unto you than at your beginnings: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

[12] Yea, I will cause men to walk upon you, even my people Israel; and they

shall possess thee, and thou shalt be their inheritance, and thou shalt no

more henceforth bereave them of men.

[13] Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because they say unto you, Thou land devourest

up men, and hast bereaved thy nations;

[14] Therefore thou shalt devour men no more, neither bereave thy nations

any more, saith the Lord GOD.

[15] Neither will I cause men to hear in thee the shame of the heathen any

more, neither shalt thou bear the reproach of the people any more, neither

shalt thou cause thy nations to fall any more, saith the Lord GOD.

[16] Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

[17] Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they

defiled it by their own way and by their doings: their way was before me as

the uncleanness of a removed woman.

[18] Wherefore I poured my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed

upon the land, and for their idols wherewith they had polluted it:

[19] And I scattered them among the heathen, and they were dispersed through

the countries: according to their way and according to their doings I judged

them.

[20] And when they entered unto the heathen, whither they went, they

profaned my holy name, when they said to them, These are the people of the

LORD, and are gone forth out of his land.

[21] But I had pity for mine holy name, which the house of Israel had

profaned among the heathen, whither they went.

[22] Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I do

not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name's sake,

which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went.

[23] And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the

heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall

know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in

you before their eyes.

[24] For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all

countries, and will bring you into your own land.

[25] Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from

all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.

[26] A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within

you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give

you an heart of flesh.

[27] And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my

statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.

[28] And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye

shall be my people, and I will be your God.

[29] I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for

the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you.

[30] And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the

field, that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine among the heathen.

[31] Then shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings that were

not good, and shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities

and for your abominations.

[32] Not for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord GOD, be it known unto you:

be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel.

[33] Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day that I shall have cleansed you from

all your iniquities I will also cause you to dwell in the cities, and the

wastes shall be builded.

[34] And the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in the

sight of all that passed by.

[35] And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the

garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are become

fenced, and are inhabited.

[36] Then the heathen that are left round about you shall know that I the

LORD build the ruined places, and plant that that was desolate: I the LORD

have spoken it, and I will do it.

[37] Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will yet for this be inquired of by the

house of Israel, to do it for them; I will increase them with men like a

flock.

[38] As the holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts; so

shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men: and they shall know

that I am the LORD.

Entitled "Plans and Providence!"



Ruth 1:11-19



11 (Ge 38:11; Dt 25:5) But Naomi said, "Turn back, my daughters.

Why would you go with me? Are there sons in my womb,

who could become your husbands?

12 Turn back, my daughters! Go, for I am too old to have a husband.

Even if I thought that there was still hope for me, that I could have

a husband tonight and give birth to sons,

13 (Jdg 2:15; Job 19:2) 1would you wait until they were grown?

Would you refrain from getting married? No, my daughters.

It is much more bitter for me than for you, for the hand of the Lord

has turned against me."

14 (Pr 17:17; 18:24) Then they raised their voices and wept aloud once more.

Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clung to her.

15 (Jdg 11:24; Jos 24:15) Naomi said, "Look, your sister-in-law has returned

to her people and her gods. Return with her!"

16 (Ru 2:11-12) But Ruth said, "Do not urge me to leave you or to turn back

from following you. For wherever you go, I will go, and wherever you stay,

I will stay. Your people shall be my people and your God my God.

17 (1Sa 3:17; 25:22) Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried.

May the Lord do thus to me, and worse,

if anything but death separates you and me!"

18 (Ac 21:14) When Naomi saw that she was determined to go with her,

she said no more to her.

19 (Mt 21:10) So they both went on until they came to Bethlehem.

When they came to Bethlehem, the whole town was stirred because of them,

and the women asked, "Is this Naomi?"



[11] And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will ye go with me? are

there yet any more sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?

[12] Turn again, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have an

husband. If I should say, I have hope, if I should have an husband also to

night, and should also bear sons;

[13] Would ye tarry for them till they were grown? would ye stay for them

from having husbands? nay, my daughters; for it grieveth me much for your

sakes that the hand of the LORD is gone out against me.

[14] And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her

mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her.

[15] And she said, Behold, thy sister in law is gone back unto her people,

and unto her gods: return thou after thy sister in law.

[16] And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from

following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou

lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God:

[17] Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do

so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me.

[18] When she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, then she

left speaking unto her.

[19] So they two went until they came to Bethlehem. And it came to pass,

when they were come to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about them,

and they said, Is this Naomi?



Zach was funny, smart, and well-liked. But he secretly struggled with

depression. After he committed suicide at age fifteen, his mom, Lori,

said of him, "It's just hard to comprehend how someone that had so much going

for him would come to that point. Zach . . . was not exempt from suicide."

There are moments in the quiet when Lori pours out her sorrow to God. She

says that the deep sadness after suicide is

"a whole different level of grief." Yet she and her family have learned to

lean on God and others for strength, and now they're using their time to love

others who are grappling with depression.



Lori's motto has become "Love and lean." This idea is also seen in the Old

Testament story of Ruth. Naomi lost her husband and two sons-one who was

married to Ruth (Ruth 1:3–5). Naomi, bitter and depressed, urged Ruth to

return to her mother's family where she could be cared for. Ruth, though

also grieving, "clung" to her mother-in-law and committed to staying with her

and caring for her (vv. 14-17). They returned to Bethlehem, Naomi's homeland,

where Ruth would be a foreigner. But they had each other to love and lean on,

and God provided for them (2:11-12).



During our times of grief, God's love remains steady. We always have Him

to lean on as we also lean on and love others in His strength.



By: Anne Cetas



Reflect & Pray



What does it mean for you to lean on God during your times of grief?

Who may need your support right now?



Father, I'm grateful for Your faithful love and care for me.

Use me to encourage others to trust You.



3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation



Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools



Week 2 - Saved by Grace - Day 1 - Sin Universal



Romans 3:23-24



23 (Ro 3:9) For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God,

24 (Ro 4:16; Col 1:14) being justified freely by His grace

through the redemption that is in Christ ­Jesus,



23 for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

24 being justified freely by his grace through the redemption

that is in Christ Jesus:



A distinguished middle-aged man stood trembling before his church

to give his testimony. Years before, in the grip of a mental illness

that nearly destroyed his life, he had taken the life of his own daughter

and tried to kill himself. But he did not die; tried and convicted, he

spent years in prison, and even longer in the prison of his own guilt.

After the service, a young woman walked up to him and simply said,

"Thank you for sharing. I've sinned, too."

We've all sinned, too - lest we forget or rationalise, the Bible reminds

us in no uncertain terms. And the writer of these verses was no stranger

to sin: he was the Pharisee, the holier-than-thou religious leader

who officiated at the stoning death of Stephen. He was the Jew who had

scattered and killed the followers of this heretic called Christ. He

thought he was righteous while he murdered God's people.

Christians tends to establish a "hierarchy" of sin - sexual sin is "worse"

than pride: murder is "more horrible" than slander. Yet the Bible gives

no indication that god acknowledges our hierarchy. Sin is sin; all have

sinned, and if we are guilty at one point, we are guilty of all.

Rather than rationalise our individual sins as being "less bad"

than someone else's, we need to openly confess our dilemma as sinners

and turn to God for his remedy. We cannot and do not need to earn or

deserve that grace - it is a gift from God.



Application



a) Have I ever compared my sin with someone else's in order

to make myself fell like a better person? Why is such

comparison not a valid remedy for sin?



b) Why do I need to acknowledge my sin honestly before I can

receive justification?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Luke 12:15



15 Then He said to them, "Take heed and beware of covetousness.

For a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions."



15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's

life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.



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



When you are Impatient



Ps 37:3-9



3 Trust in the Lord, and do good;

dwell in the land, and practice faithfulness.

4 Delight yourself in the Lord,

and He will give you the desires of your heart.

5 Commit your way to the Lord;

trust also in Him, and He will bring it to pass.

6 He will bring forth your righteousness as the light,

and your judgment as the noonday.

7 Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him;

do not fret because of those who prosper in their way,

because of those who make wicked schemes.

8 Let go of anger, and forsake wrath;

do not fret-it surely leads to evil deeds.

9 For evildoers will be cut off,

but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the earth.



Bet

3 Trust in the LORD, and do good;

So shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

4 Delight thyself also in the LORD;

And he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

Gimel

5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; Trust also in him;

And he shall bring it to pass.

6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light,

And thy judgment as the noonday.

Dalet

7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him:

Fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way,

because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

He

8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath:

Fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.

9 For evildoers shall be cut off:

But those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.



The Lord's prayer



Matthew 6:9-13



9 "Therefore pray in this manner:

Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

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

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

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

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

as we forgive our debtors.

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

but deliver us from evil.

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



9 After this manner therefore pray ye:

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

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

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

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

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

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



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



New Brunswick



Total population 753900

Muslim population (est.) 4543



Moncton, followed by Fredericton and Saint John, each have a growing Muslim

population in New Brunswick, In 2007, the building that was formerly a Baptist

church was converted into Moncton's 1st mosque. The University of Moncton

also has a Muslim student association hosting prayer services, fellowship

getherings, and outreaches on campus.

Fredericton also has one mosque and a Muslim student association serving the

campuses of the University of New Brunswick and St. Thomas University.

Fredericton's Muslim population consists in 2014 of about 50 families,

and between 300 to 400 university students.

Saint John is home to the 1st Muslim Association for the province,

which also helped foster the Islamic associations of Fredericton and Moncton.

a 'musalla', or prayer location that is not officially structured as a mosque,

has been established in the Uptown area with the intention of seeing it grow

into a 2nd official place of Muslim worship. Demand for this new location has

been primarily for university students moving into the area.



Pray for Muslims and New Brunswick

- that the eyes of pastors, believers and entire congregations will be opened

to see this growing body of Muslims, and their hearts will be opened

to sharing God's love in Jesus Christ with them



- that intentional ministries to Muslims will grow and flourish in these

areas of concentration



- that cooperative CNNMM Networks will form to really, encourage,

and equip believers to lovingly reach Muslims in this province.



Adding further



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



Under the Keep Praying page



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

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

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

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

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

decorated and festivals will be held.

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

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

Islam.

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

which means Blessed Eid!"

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

know, and Muslims around the world:

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

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

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

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

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

relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.



Acts 2:12-17 : 17 12 They were all amazed and perplexed, saying to each other,

"What does this mean?"

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



Peter's Speech at Pentecost



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

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

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

15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose,

since it is the third hour of the day.

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

17 (Isa 44:3; Ac 10:45) 'In the last days it shall be,' says God,

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

your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

your young men shall see visions,

and your old men shall dream dreams.'



- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective

discipleship movements among Muslim people.



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

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



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

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

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

house."



Ideas for prayer



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

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

Christ among Muslim people -



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

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

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



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.



ROMANS 15:13



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

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



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