Mark 1:14-15



The Beginning of the Galilean Ministry



Mt 4:12-17; Lk 4:14-15



14 (Mt 4:12; 4:23) After John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee

preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,

15 (Gal 4:4; Ac 20:21; Eph 1:10) saying, "The time is fulfilled,

and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe the gospel."



[14] Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee,

preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,

[15] And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand:

repent ye, and believe the gospel.



Matthew 4:12-17



The Beginning of the Galilean Ministry



Mk 1:14-15; Lk 4:14-15

12 (Mk 1:14; Lk 3:20; 4:14) Now when Jesus heard that John

was put in prison, He left for Galilee.

13 (Mk 1:21; Jn 4:46) And leaving Nazareth, He came and lived

in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the regions of Zebulun and Naphtali,

14 (Mt 1:22) that what was spoken by Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled,

saying:

15 "The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,

the way to the sea, beyond the Jordan,

Galilee of the Gentiles:

16 (Lk 2:32; Job 3:5) The people who sat in darkness

saw great light.

And on those who sat in the land of the shadow of death,

light has dawned."

17 (Mt 3:2; Mk 1:14-15) From that time Jesus began to preach, saying,

"Repent! For the kingdom of heaven is at hand."



[12] Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed

into Galilee;

[13] And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the

sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:

[14] That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet,

saying,

[15] The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea,

beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;

[16] The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat

in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.

[17] From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the

kingdom of heaven is at hand.



Luke 3:23-38

John 4:46-54



The Healing of the Nobleman's Son



Mt 8:5-13; Lk 7:1-10



46 (Jn 2:1-11) So Jesus came again to Cana of Galilee where He had made

the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman whose son

was sick in Capernaum.

47 (Jn 4:3; 4:54) When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea

into Galilee, he went to Him, pleading that He would come down

and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.

48 (Ac 2:22; 1Co 1:22) Then Jesus said to him, "Unless you see signs

and wonders, you will not believe."

49 The nobleman said to Him, "Sir, come down before my child dies."

50 (Mt 8:13) Jesus said to him, "Go your way. Your son lives."

And the man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.

51 While he was going down, his servants met him

and told him, "Your son lives!"

52 When he inquired of them the hour when he began to heal, they answered,

"Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him."

53 (Ac 11:14; 16:34) Then the father knew that it was at the same hour

in which Jesus said to him, "Your son lives."

So he and his whole household believed.

54 This was the second sign that Jesus did

when He had come from Judea to Galilee.



[46] So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine.

And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.

[47] When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went

unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he

was at the point of death.

[48] Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not

believe.

[49] The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.

[50] Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed

the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way.

[51] And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him,

saying, Thy son liveth.

[52] Then inquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said

unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.

[53] So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus

said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house.

[54] This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out

of Judaea into Galilee.



Luke 4:16-30



The Rejection of Jesus at Nazareth



Mt 13:53-58; Mk 6:1-6



16 (Lk 2:51; 2:39) He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up.

And as His custom was, He went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day.

And He stood up to read.

17 The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. When He had unrolled

the scroll, He found the place where it was written:

18 (Mt 11:5; Ps 146:7-8; Isa 42:7) "The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,

because He has anointed Me

to preach the gospel to the poor;

He has sent Me to heal the broken-hearted,

to preach deliverance to the captives

and recovery of sight to the blind,

to set at liberty those who are oppressed;

19 Isa 61:2 to preach the acceptable year of the Lord."

20 (Lk 4:17; Mt 26:55) Then He rolled up the scroll, and He gave it back

to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of all those who were

in the synagogue were fixed on Him.

21 And He began to say to them, "Today this Scripture is fulfilled

in your hearing."

22 (Jn 6:42; Ps 45:2) All bore witness to Him, and wondered

at the gracious words which came from His mouth.

Then they said, "Is this not Joseph's son?"

23 (Mt 4:13; Mk 6:1) He said to them, "You will surely say to Me this proverb,

'Physician, heal Yourself. Whatever we have heard done in Capernaum,

do also here in Your country.' "

24 (Mt 13:57; Jn 4:44) He also said, "Truly, I say to you,

no prophet is accepted in his own country.

25 (1Ki 17:1; Jas 5:17) But I tell you truthfully, many widows were

in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heavens were closed

for three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land.

26 Yet to none of them was Elijah sent except to Zarephath, a city of Sidon,

to a woman who was a widow.

27 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet.

But none of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian."

28 All those in the synagogue, when they heard these things,

were filled with wrath.

29 (Nu 15:35) They rose up and thrust Him out of the city

and led Him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built,

that they might throw Him down headlong.

30 (Jn 10:39; 8:59 ) But passing through the midst of them, He went His way.



[16] And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his

custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for

to read.

[17] And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And

when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,

[18] The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to

preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the

brokenhearted, to

preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the

blind, to

set at liberty them that are bruised,

[19] To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

[20] And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat

down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on

him.

[21] And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in

your ears.

[22] And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which

proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?

[23] And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb,

Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do

also here in thy country.

[24] And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own

country.

[25] But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of

Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great

famine was throughout all the land;

[26] But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of

Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.

[27] And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and

none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.

[28] And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were

filled with wrath,

[29] And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow

of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down

headlong.

[30] But he passing through the midst of them went his way,



Mark 1:16-20



The Calling of the First Disciples



Mt 4:18-22; Lk 5:1-11

16 (Mt 4:18-22; Jn 1:40-42) As He walked by the Sea of Galilee,

He saw Simon and Andrew, his brother, throwing a net into the sea,

for they were fishermen.

17 Jesus said to them, "Come, follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men."

18 Immediately they left their nets and followed Him.

19 When He had gone a little farther from there, He saw James

the son of Zebedee and John, his brother, who also were in the boat mending

their nets.

20 Immediately He called them. And they left their father Zebedee

in the boat with the hired servants and followed Him.



[16] Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his

brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.

[17] And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to

become fishers of men.

[18] And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.

[19] And when he had gone a little further thence, he saw James the son of

Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.

[20] And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in

the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.



Matthew 4:18-22



The Calling of the First Disciples



Mk 1:16-20; Lk 5:1-11



18 (Jn 1:40-42; Mt 15:29) As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee,

He saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother,

throwing a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.

19 And He said to them, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men."

20 They immediately left their nets and followed Him.

21 (Mt 10:2) And going on from there, He saw two other brothers,

James the son of Zebedee and John his brother,

in a boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and He called them.

22 They immediately left the boat and their father and followed Him.



[18] And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon

called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they

were fishers.

[19] And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.

[20] And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.

[21] And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of

Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending

their nets; and he called them.

[22] And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.



Mark 1:21-28



The Man With an Unclean Spirit



Lk 4:31-37



21 (Mt 4:23; Mk 1:39) They went to Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath

He entered the synagogue and taught.

22 (Mt 7:28-29) They were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them

as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

23 In their synagogue there was a man with an unclean spirit.

24 (Ac 3:14; Mt 8:29; Lk 4:34) And he cried out, "Leave us alone! What do You

have to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us?

I know who You are, the Holy One of God."

25 (Mk 1:34) Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be silent and come out of him!"

26 (Mk 9:20; 9:26) When the unclean spirit had convulsed him

and cried out with a loud voice, it came out of him.

27 They were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves,

"What is this? What new teaching is this?

With authority He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him."

28 Immediately His fame spread everywhere throughout

the region surrounding Galilee.



[21] And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he

entered into the synagogue, and taught.

[22] And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one

that had authority, and not as the scribes.

[23] And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he

cried out,

[24] Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of

Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy

One of God.

[25] And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.

[26] And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice,

he came out of him.

[27] And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among

themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with

authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.

[28] And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round

about Galilee.



Luke 4:31-37

31 (Mt 4:13) Then He went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee,

and was teaching them on the Sabbaths.

32 (Lk 4:36; Mt 7:28-29) They were astonished at His teaching,

for His word was with authority.

33 In the synagogue there was a man who had the spirit

of an unclean demon. And he cried out with a loud voice,

34 (Mk 1:24; Mt 8:29; Jas 2:19) "Leave us alone! What have You to do with us,

Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us?

I know who You are-the Holy One of God!"

35 (Lk 4:41; Mt 8:26) Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be silent,

and come out of him!" When the demon had thrown him down

in their midst, he came out of him and did not hurt him.

36 (Lk 4:32) They were all amazed and said among themselves,

"What a word this is! For with authority

and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out."

in the surrounding countryside.

devil, and cried out with a loud voice,

Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy

One of God.

30 (1Co 9:5) The mother of Simon's wife lay sick with a fever,

and immediately they told Him of her.

37 (Jn 12:19) and when they found Him, they said to Him,

"Everyone is searching for You."

of Galilee.



[42] And when it was day, he departed and went into a desert place: and the

Ministering to Great Crowds



Lk 6:17-19



23 (Mt 9:35; 13:54; Mk 1:21) Jesus went throughout all Galilee teaching

in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom,

and healing all kinds of sickness and all sorts of diseases among the people.

24 (Mt 8:6; 17:15) His fame went throughout all Syria. And they brought

to Him all sick people who were taken with various diseases

and tormented with pain, those who were possessed with demons,

those who had seizures, and those who had paralysis, and He healed them.

25 (Lk 6:17; Mk 5:20) Great crowds followed Him from Galilee, the Decapolis,

Jerusalem, Judea, and from beyond the Jordan.



[23] And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and

preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and

all manner of disease among the people.

[24] And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all

sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those

which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those

that had the palsy; and he healed them.

[25] And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and

from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.

I Can See You!



1 Corinthians 13:4-13



4 (Col 3:12; Pr 10:12) Love suffers long and is kind; love envies not;

love flaunts not itself and is not puffed up,

5 (1Co 10:24; Php 2:21) does not behave itself improperly, seeks not its own,

is not easily provoked, thinks no evil;

6 (2Jn 1:4; Ro 1:32) rejoices not in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;

7 (1Co 13:4) bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things,

and endures all things.

8 Love never fails. But if there are prophecies, they shall fail;

if there are tongues, they shall cease; and if there is knowledge,

it shall vanish.

9 (1Co 8:2; 13:12) For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

10 But when that which is perfect comes, then that which is imperfect

shall pass away.

11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child,

and I thought as a child. But when I became a man,

I put away childish things.

12 (2Co 5:7; 1Jn 3:2) For now we see as through a glass, dimly, but then,

face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know,

even as I also am known.

13 (Gal 5:6; 1Co 16:14; 1Pe 1:21) So now abide faith, hope, and love,

these three. But the greatest of these is love.



[4] Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity

vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

[5] Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily

provoked, thinketh no evil;

[6] Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

[7] Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth

all things.

[8] Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail;

whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it

shall vanish away.

[9] For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

[10] But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part

shall be done away.

[11] When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I

thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

[12] For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I

know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

[13] And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of

these is charity.



The optometrist helped three-year-old Andreas adjust his first pair of

glasses. "Look in the mirror," she said. Andreas glanced at his reflection,

then turned to his father with a joyful and loving smile. Then Andreas'

father gently wiped the tears that slipped down his son's cheeks and asked,

"What's wrong?" Andreas wrapped his arms around his father'’s neck. "I can

see you." He pulled back, tilted his head, and gazed into his father's eyes.

"I can see you!"



As we prayerfully study the Bible, the Holy Spirit gives us eyes to see Jesus,

the "image of the invisible God" (Colossians 1:15). However, even with our

vision cleared by the Spirit as we grow in knowledge through Scripture, we can

still only see a glimpse of God's infinite immensity on this side of eternity.

When our time on earth is done or when Jesus fulfills His promise to return,

we'll see Him clearly (1 Corinthians 13:12).



We won't need special glasses in that joy-filled moment when we see Christ

face-to-face and know Him as He knows each of us, the beloved members of the

body of Christ-the church. The Holy Spirit will infuse us with the faith,

hope, and love we need to stand firm, until we gaze at our loving and living

Saviour and say, "I can see You, Jesus. I can see You!"



By: Xochitl Dixon



Reflect & Pray



What has the Holy Spirit revealed to you recently as you've read the Bible?

How has your growth in the knowledge of God changed you?



Jesus, please help me see You clearer

and know You intimately as I walk with You faithfully now

and until the day You call me home or come again.



Grow in your spiritual walk with God.

Words in Season - Scripture Memory Tools



Week 3 - Saved Now and Forever - Day 3 - Inseparable From God's Love



Romans 8:38-39



38 (Eph 1:21; 1Pe 3:22) For I am persuaded that neither death nor life,

neither angels nor principalities nor powers, neither things present

nor things to come,

39 (Ro 5:8) neither height nor depth, nor any other created thing,

shall be able to separate us from the love of God,

which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.



[38] For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor

principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

[39] Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to

separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.



Separation is a fact of human life. Relationships disintegrate,

children grow up, loved ones die, husbands and wives divorce,

friends changes and drift apart. We may resist change and separation,

but we must deal with them nevertheless.

Separation sometimes is a natural result of growth and development;

sometimes it is a violent, cataclysmic shaking of an individual's life.

2 lifelong friends go separate ways to college or into future careers;

a church splits over doctrinal differences; a wife finds out a hidden

secret in her husband's past.

But with God, there is no separation, no death, no breaking of vows,

no growing beyond the relationship. Nothing, says Paul, can separate

us from the love of God. A skeleton in my closet, once revealed, may

cost me the trust of those I thought were my friends. But God knows

all my past, all my sin; he forgives, and it cannot separate me from him.

My present personal struggles may cause trouble in my job and result in

the loss of that income, but God understands what I'm going through,

and even when I'm angry at him, he can take it without drawing away

or striking back. My present problems cannot separate me from the Lord.

And God knows, too, the plan he has established for my future. I cannot

walk away from him, grow beyond my need for him, or outrun him into

tomorrow.

She may separate me from my awareness of God's presence in my life,

but it cannot set me beyond his reach. There is no power that is greater

than God's love, and no place I can go that will separate me

from that love.



Application



a) Have I ever felt separated from the love of God? Under what circumstances?



b) How can today's verse free me from anxiety about the past,

the present or the future?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Malachi 3:10-12



10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in

My house, and test Me now in this, says the Lord of Hosts, if I will not

open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you a blessing,

that there will not be room enough to receive it.

11 I will rebuke the devourer

for your sakes, so that it will not destroy the fruit of your ground,

and the vines in your field will not fail to bear fruit,

says the Lord of Hosts.

12 Then all the nations will call you blessed, for you will be

a delightful land, says the Lord of Hosts.



10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in

mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not

open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall

not be room enough to receive it.

11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy

the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit

before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.

12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be

a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.



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



When you are Worried Over Money



Matt 6:19-21



Treasures in Heaven



Lk 12:33-34



19 "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth where moth

and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal.

20 But store up

for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroy

and where thieves do not break in nor steal,

21 for where your treasure is,

there will your heart be also.



19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth

and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth

nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

21 for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.



Remember God's promises when You pray



The Lord's prayer





Matthew 6:9-13



9 "Therefore pray in this manner:

Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

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

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

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

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

as we forgive our debtors.

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

but deliver us from evil.

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



9 After this manner therefore pray ye:

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

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

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

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

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

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



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



Prince Edward Island



Total population 146300

Muslim population (est.) 1127



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

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

cooperatively across denominational and organisational lines.



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

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

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

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

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



The Muslims of Charlottetown see their community as symbolically important

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

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

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

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

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

Let us intercede together for:



- the growing Muslim population of Charlottetown and spreading

outward through PEI to encounter the Prince of Peace.

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

in contextual ways to share the Gospel

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

giving and training, coaching and encouragement to believers reaching

out to Muslims locally.

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

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

and spiritual hunger in Muslims for relationship with the Father

through the Son.



Adding further



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



Under the Keep Praying page



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

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

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

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

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

decorated and festivals will be held.

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

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

Islam.

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

which means Blessed Eid!"

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

know, and Muslims around the world:

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

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

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

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

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

relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.



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

"What does this mean?"

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



Peter's Speech at Pentecost



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

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

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

15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose,

since it is the third hour of the day.

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

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

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

your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

your young men shall see visions,

and your old men shall dream dreams.'



- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective

discipleship movements among Muslim people.



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

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



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

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

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

house."



Ideas for prayer



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

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

Christ among Muslim people -



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

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

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



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

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



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

The Beginning of the Galilean Ministry

14 (Mt 4:12; 4:23) After John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee

preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,

15 (Gal 4:4; Ac 20:21; Eph 1:10) saying, "The time is fulfilled,

and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe the gospel."



[14] Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee,

preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,

[15] And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand:

repent ye, and believe the gospel.



Matthew 4:12-17



The Beginning of the Galilean Ministry



Mk 1:14-15; Lk 4:14-15

12 (Mk 1:14; Lk 3:20; 4:14) Now when Jesus heard that John

was put in prison, He left for Galilee.

13 (Mk 1:21; Jn 4:46) And leaving Nazareth, He came and lived

in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the regions of Zebulun and Naphtali,

14 (Mt 1:22) that what was spoken by Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled,

saying:

15 "The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,

the way to the sea, beyond the Jordan,

Galilee of the Gentiles:

16 (Lk 2:32; Job 3:5) The people who sat in darkness

saw great light.

And on those who sat in the land of the shadow of death,

light has dawned."

17 (Mt 3:2; Mk 1:14-15) From that time Jesus began to preach, saying,

"Repent! For the kingdom of heaven is at hand."



[12] Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed

into Galilee;

[13] And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the

sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:

[14] That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet,

saying,

[15] The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea,

beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;

[16] The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat

in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.

[17] From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the

kingdom of heaven is at hand.

John 4:46-54



The Healing of the Nobleman's Son



Mt 8:5-13; Lk 7:1-10



46 (Jn 2:1-11) So Jesus came again to Cana of Galilee where He had made

the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman whose son

was sick in Capernaum.

47 (Jn 4:3; 4:54) When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea

into Galilee, he went to Him, pleading that He would come down

and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.

48 (Ac 2:22; 1Co 1:22) Then Jesus said to him, "Unless you see signs

and wonders, you will not believe."

49 The nobleman said to Him, "Sir, come down before my child dies."

50 (Mt 8:13) Jesus said to him, "Go your way. Your son lives."

And the man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.

51 While he was going down, his servants met him

and told him, "Your son lives!"

52 When he inquired of them the hour when he began to heal, they answered,

"Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him."

53 (Ac 11:14; 16:34) Then the father knew that it was at the same hour

in which Jesus said to him, "Your son lives."

So he and his whole household believed.

54 This was the second sign that Jesus did

when He had come from Judea to Galilee.



[46] So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine.

And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.

[47] When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went

unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he

was at the point of death.

[48] Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not

believe.

[49] The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.

[50] Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed

the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way.

[51] And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him,

saying, Thy son liveth.

[52] Then inquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said

unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.

[53] So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus

said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house.

[54] This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out

of Judaea into Galilee.



Luke 4:16-30



The Rejection of Jesus at Nazareth



Mt 13:53-58; Mk 6:1-6



16 (Lk 2:51; 2:39) He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up.

And as His custom was, He went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day.

And He stood up to read.

17 The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. When He had unrolled

the scroll, He found the place where it was written:

18 (Mt 11:5; Ps 146:7-8; Isa 42:7) "The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,

because He has anointed Me

to preach the gospel to the poor;

He has sent Me to heal the broken-hearted,

to preach deliverance to the captives

and recovery of sight to the blind,

to set at liberty those who are oppressed;

19 Isa 61:2 to preach the acceptable year of the Lord."

20 (Lk 4:17; Mt 26:55) Then He rolled up the scroll, and He gave it back

to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of all those who were

in the synagogue were fixed on Him.

21 And He began to say to them, "Today this Scripture is fulfilled

in your hearing."

22 (Jn 6:42; Ps 45:2) All bore witness to Him, and wondered

at the gracious words which came from His mouth.

Then they said, "Is this not Joseph's son?"

23 (Mt 4:13; Mk 6:1) He said to them, "You will surely say to Me this proverb,

'Physician, heal Yourself. Whatever we have heard done in Capernaum,

do also here in Your country.' "

24 (Mt 13:57; Jn 4:44) He also said, "Truly, I say to you,

no prophet is accepted in his own country.

25 (1Ki 17:1; Jas 5:17) But I tell you truthfully, many widows were

in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heavens were closed

for three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land.

26 Yet to none of them was Elijah sent except to Zarephath, a city of Sidon,

to a woman who was a widow.

27 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet.

But none of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian."

28 All those in the synagogue, when they heard these things,

were filled with wrath.

29 (Nu 15:35) They rose up and thrust Him out of the city

and led Him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built,

that they might throw Him down headlong.

30 (Jn 10:39; 8:59 ) But passing through the midst of them, He went His way.



[16] And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his

custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for

to read.

[17] And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And

when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,

[18] The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to

preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the

brokenhearted, to

preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the

blind, to

set at liberty them that are bruised,

[19] To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

[20] And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat

down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on

him.

[21] And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in

your ears.

[22] And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which

proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?

[23] And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb,

Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do

also here in thy country.

[24] And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own

country.

[25] But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of

Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great

famine was throughout all the land;

[26] But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of

Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.

[27] And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and

none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.

[28] And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were

filled with wrath,

[29] And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow

of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down

headlong.

[30] But he passing through the midst of them went his way,

16 (Mt 4:18-22; Jn 1:40-42) As He walked by the Sea of Galilee,

He saw Simon and Andrew, his brother, throwing a net into the sea,

for they were fishermen.

17 Jesus said to them, "Come, follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men."

19 When He had gone a little farther from there, He saw James

brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.

[18] And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.

[19] And when he had gone a little further thence, he saw James the son of

Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.

the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.

He saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother,

throwing a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.

19 And He said to them, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men."

20 They immediately left their nets and followed Him.

21 (Mt 10:2) And going on from there, He saw two other brothers,

James the son of Zebedee and John his brother,

in a boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and He called them.

22 They immediately left the boat and their father and followed Him.



[18] And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon

called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they

were fishers.

[19] And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.

[20] And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.

[21] And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of

Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending

their nets; and he called them.

[22] And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.

21 (Mt 4:23; Mk 1:39) They went to Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath

He entered the synagogue and taught.

22 (Mt 7:28-29) They were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them

as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

23 In their synagogue there was a man with an unclean spirit.

24 (Ac 3:14; Mt 8:29; Lk 4:34) And he cried out, "Leave us alone! What do You

have to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us?

I know who You are, the Holy One of God."

25 (Mk 1:34) Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be silent and come out of him!"

26 (Mk 9:20; 9:26) When the unclean spirit had convulsed him

and cried out with a loud voice, it came out of him.

"What is this? What new teaching is this?

With authority He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him."

28 Immediately His fame spread everywhere throughout

the region surrounding Galilee.

[23] And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he

cried out,

[24] Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of

Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy

One of God.

[25] And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.

[26] And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice,

and was teaching them on the Sabbaths.

32 (Lk 4:36; Mt 7:28-29) They were astonished at His teaching,

for His word was with authority.

33 In the synagogue there was a man who had the spirit

of an unclean demon. And he cried out with a loud voice,

Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us?

I know who You are-the Holy One of God!"

and come out of him!" When the demon had thrown him down

in their midst, he came out of him and did not hurt him.

Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy

One of God.

when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him

not.

[36] And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a

word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean

spirits, and they come out.

[37] And the fame of him went out into every place of the country round

about.

and immediately they told Him of her.

diseased, and them that were possessed with devils.

I Can See You!



1 Corinthians 13:4-13



4 (Col 3:12; Pr 10:12) Love suffers long and is kind; love envies not;

love flaunts not itself and is not puffed up,

5 (1Co 10:24; Php 2:21) does not behave itself improperly, seeks not its own,

is not easily provoked, thinks no evil;

6 (2Jn 1:4; Ro 1:32) rejoices not in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;

7 (1Co 13:4) bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things,

and endures all things.

8 Love never fails. But if there are prophecies, they shall fail;

if there are tongues, they shall cease; and if there is knowledge,

it shall vanish.

9 (1Co 8:2; 13:12) For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

10 But when that which is perfect comes, then that which is imperfect

shall pass away.

11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child,

and I thought as a child. But when I became a man,

I put away childish things.

12 (2Co 5:7; 1Jn 3:2) For now we see as through a glass, dimly, but then,

face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know,

even as I also am known.

13 (Gal 5:6; 1Co 16:14; 1Pe 1:21) So now abide faith, hope, and love,

these three. But the greatest of these is love.



[4] Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity

vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

[5] Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily

provoked, thinketh no evil;

[6] Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

[7] Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth

all things.

[8] Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail;

whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it

shall vanish away.

[9] For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

[10] But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part

shall be done away.

[11] When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I

thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

[12] For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I

know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

[13] And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of

these is charity.



The optometrist helped three-year-old Andreas adjust his first pair of

glasses. "Look in the mirror," she said. Andreas glanced at his reflection,

then turned to his father with a joyful and loving smile. Then Andreas'

father gently wiped the tears that slipped down his son's cheeks and asked,

"What's wrong?" Andreas wrapped his arms around his father'’s neck. "I can

see you." He pulled back, tilted his head, and gazed into his father's eyes.

"I can see you!"



As we prayerfully study the Bible, the Holy Spirit gives us eyes to see Jesus,

the "image of the invisible God" (Colossians 1:15). However, even with our

vision cleared by the Spirit as we grow in knowledge through Scripture, we can

still only see a glimpse of God's infinite immensity on this side of eternity.

When our time on earth is done or when Jesus fulfills His promise to return,

we'll see Him clearly (1 Corinthians 13:12).



We won't need special glasses in that joy-filled moment when we see Christ

face-to-face and know Him as He knows each of us, the beloved members of the

body of Christ-the church. The Holy Spirit will infuse us with the faith,

hope, and love we need to stand firm, until we gaze at our loving and living

Saviour and say, "I can see You, Jesus. I can see You!"

Reflect & Pray



What has the Holy Spirit revealed to you recently as you've read the Bible?

How has your growth in the knowledge of God changed you?



Jesus, please help me see You clearer

and know You intimately as I walk with You faithfully now

and until the day You call me home or come again.



Grow in your spiritual walk with God.

Week 3 - Saved Now and Forever - Day 3 - Inseparable From God's Love



Romans 8:38-39



38 (Eph 1:21; 1Pe 3:22) For I am persuaded that neither death nor life,

neither angels nor principalities nor powers, neither things present

nor things to come,

39 (Ro 5:8) neither height nor depth, nor any other created thing,

shall be able to separate us from the love of God,

which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.



[38] For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor

principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

[39] Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to

separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.



Separation is a fact of human life. Relationships disintegrate,

children grow up, loved ones die, husbands and wives divorce,

friends changes and drift apart. We may resist change and separation,

but we must deal with them nevertheless.

Separation sometimes is a natural result of growth and development;

sometimes it is a violent, cataclysmic shaking of an individual's life.

2 lifelong friends go separate ways to college or into future careers;

a church splits over doctrinal differences; a wife finds out a hidden

secret in her husband's past.

But with God, there is no separation, no death, no breaking of vows,

no growing beyond the relationship. Nothing, says Paul, can separate

us from the love of God. A skeleton in my closet, once revealed, may

cost me the trust of those I thought were my friends. But God knows

all my past, all my sin; he forgives, and it cannot separate me from him.

My present personal struggles may cause trouble in my job and result in

the loss of that income, but God understands what I'm going through,

and even when I'm angry at him, he can take it without drawing away

or striking back. My present problems cannot separate me from the Lord.

And God knows, too, the plan he has established for my future. I cannot

walk away from him, grow beyond my need for him, or outrun him into

tomorrow.

She may separate me from my awareness of God's presence in my life,

but it cannot set me beyond his reach. There is no power that is greater

than God's love, and no place I can go that will separate me

from that love.

Remember God's promises when You pray



The Lord's prayer





Matthew 6:9-13



9 "Therefore pray in this manner:

Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

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

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

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

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

as we forgive our debtors.

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

but deliver us from evil.

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



9 After this manner therefore pray ye:

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

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

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

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

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

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



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



Prince Edward Island



Total population 146300

Muslim population (est.) 1127



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

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

cooperatively across denominational and organisational lines.



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

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

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

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

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



The Muslims of Charlottetown see their community as symbolically important

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

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

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

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

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

Let us intercede together for:



- the growing Muslim population of Charlottetown and spreading

outward through PEI to encounter the Prince of Peace.

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

in contextual ways to share the Gospel

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

giving and training, coaching and encouragement to believers reaching

out to Muslims locally.

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

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

and spiritual hunger in Muslims for relationship with the Father

through the Son.

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



Under the Keep Praying page



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

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

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

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

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

decorated and festivals will be held.

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

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

Islam.

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

which means Blessed Eid!"

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

know, and Muslims around the world:

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

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

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

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

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

relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.



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

"What does this mean?"

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



Peter's Speech at Pentecost



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

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

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

15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose,

since it is the third hour of the day.

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

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

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

your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

your young men shall see visions,

and your old men shall dream dreams.'



- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective

discipleship movements among Muslim people.



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

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



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

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

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

house."



Ideas for prayer



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

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

Christ among Muslim people -



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

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

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



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

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



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