8 (Lev 3:3-5) Then he shall remove all the fat of the bull that is
for the sin offering - the fat that covers the entrails - and all the fat
that is on the entrails,
9 (Lev 3:4) and the two kidneys with the fat that is above them,
which is on the loins, and the appendage on the liver

13 (Lev 5:17; 5:2-5) If the whole congregation of Israel
commits an unintentional sin, and the matter is hidden

20 (Nu 15:25; Heb 10:10-12) He shall do to this bull just
as he did to the bull of the sin offering;
this is what he will do to it.
And the priest shall make atonement for them, and they shall be forgiven.

was made known to him, he shall bring as his offering
a female goat without blemish, for his sin that he committed.

and he shall slaughter the sin offering in the place of the burnt offering.
30 (Lev 4:7; 4:25) The priest shall take some of its blood on his finger
and put it on the horns of the altar of the burnt offering,
and he shall pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar.

just as the fat is removed from the peace sacrifice,

for his sin that he committed, and he shall be forgiven.
Leviticus 4
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[2] Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin through
ignorance against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things
which ought not to be done, and shall do against any of them:
[3] If the priest that is anointed do sin according to the sin of the
people; then let him bring for his sin, which he hath sinned, a young
bullock without blemish unto the LORD for a sin offering.
[4] And he shall bring the bullock unto the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation before the LORD; and shall lay his hand upon the bullock's
head, and kill the bullock before the LORD.
[5] And the priest that is anointed shall take of the bullock's blood, and
bring it to the tabernacle of the congregation:
[6] And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the
blood seven times before the LORD, before the vail of the sanctuary.
[7] And the priest shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar
of sweet incense before the LORD, which is in the tabernacle of the
congregation: and shall pour all the blood of the bullock at the bottom of
the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of
the congregation.
[8] And he shall take off from it all the fat of the bullock for the sin
offering; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon
the inwards,
[9] And the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the
flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take
away,
[10] As it was taken off from the bullock of the sacrifice of peace
offerings: and the priest shall burn them upon the altar of the burnt
offering.
[11] And the skin of the bullock, and all his flesh, with his head, and with
his legs, and his inwards, and his dung,
[12] Even the whole bullock shall he carry forth without the camp unto a
clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn him on the wood with
fire: where the ashes are poured out shall he be burnt.
[13] And if the whole congregation of Israel sin through ignorance, and the
thing be hid from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done somewhat
against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which should
not be done, and are guilty;
[14] When the sin, which they have sinned against it, is known, then the
congregation shall offer a young bullock for the sin, and bring him before
the tabernacle of the congregation.
[15] And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands upon the head
of the bullock before the LORD: and the bullock shall be killed before the
LORD.
[16] And the priest that is anointed shall bring of the bullock's blood to
the tabernacle of the congregation:
[17] And the priest shall dip his finger in some of the blood, and sprinkle
it seven times before the LORD, even before the vail.
[18] And he shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar which is
before the LORD, that is in the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall
pour out all the blood at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering,
which is at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
[19] And he shall take all his fat from him, and burn it upon the altar.
[20] And he shall do with the bullock as he did with the bullock for a sin
offering, so shall he do with this: and the priest shall make an atonement
for them, and it shall be forgiven them.
[21] And he shall carry forth the bullock without the camp, and burn him as
he burned the first bullock: it is a sin offering for the congregation.
[22] When a ruler hath sinned, and done somewhat through ignorance against
any of the commandments of the LORD his God concerning things which should
not be done, and is guilty;
[23] Or if his sin, wherein he hath sinned, come to his knowledge; he shall
bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a male without blemish:
[24] And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat, and kill it in the
place where they kill the burnt offering before the LORD: it is a sin
offering.
[25] And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his
finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall
pour out his blood at the bottom of the altar of burnt offering.
[26] And he shall burn all his fat upon the altar, as the fat of the
sacrifice of peace offerings: and the priest shall make an atonement for him
as concerning his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.
[27] And if any one of the common people sin through ignorance, while he
doeth somewhat against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things
which ought not to be done, and be guilty;
[28] Or if his sin, which he hath sinned, come to his knowledge: then he
shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a female without blemish, for
his sin which he hath sinned.
[29] And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay
the sin offering in the place of the burnt offering.
[30] And the priest shall take of the blood thereof with his finger, and put
it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out all the
blood thereof at the bottom of the altar.
[31] And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat is taken away
from off the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn it upon
the altar for a sweet savour unto the LORD; and the priest shall make an
atonement for him, and it shall be forgiven him.
[32] And if he bring a lamb for a sin offering, he shall bring it a female
without blemish.
[33] And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay
it for a sin offering in the place where they kill the burnt offering
[34] And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his
finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall
pour out all the blood thereof at the bottom of the altar:
[35] And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat of the lamb is
taken away from the sacrifice of the peace offerings; and the priest shall
burn them upon the altar, according to the offerings made by fire unto the
LORD: and the priest shall make an atonement for his sin that he hath
committed, and it shall be forgiven him.

Jesus'’' Blood
Isaiah 1:15-20
15 (Isa 59:2-3; Mic 3:4) When you reach out your hands,
I will hide My eyes from you;
even when you make many prayers,
I will not hear.
Your hands are full of blood.
16 (Ps 26:6; 1Pe 3:11) Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean;
put away the evil from your deeds, from before My eyes.
Cease to do evil,
17 (Jer 22:3; Zep 2:3) learn to do good; seek justice,
relieve the oppressed;
judge the fatherless,
plead for the widow.
18 (Ps 51:7; Rev 7:14) Come now, and let us reason together,
says the Lord.
Though your sins be as scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;
though they be red like crimson,
they shall be as wool.
19 (Dt 30:15-16) If you are willing and obedient,
you shall eat the good of the land;
20 (Isa 40:5; 58:14) but if you refuse and rebel,
you shall be devoured with the sword;
for the mouth of the Lord has spoken it.
[15] And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you:
yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
[16] Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before
mine eyes; cease to do evil;
[17] Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the
fatherless, plead for the widow.
[18] Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins
be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like
crimson, they shall be as wool.
[19] If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
[20] But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for
the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
The colour red doesn't always naturally occur in the things we make.
How do you put the vibrant color of an apple into a T-shirt or lipstick?
In early times, the red pigment was made from clay or red rocks. In the 1400s,
the Aztecs invented a way of using cochineal insects to make red dye.
Today, those same tiny insects supply the world with red.
In the Bible, red denotes royalty, and it also signifies sin and shame.
Further, it's the colour of blood. When soldiers "stripped [Jesus] and
put a scarlet robe on him" (Matthew 27:28), these three symbolisms merged
into one heartbreaking image of red: Jesus was ridiculed as would-be royalty,
He was cloaked in shame, and He was robed in the colour of the blood He would
soon shed. But Isaiah's words foretell the promise of this crimsoned Jesus to
deliver us from the red that stains us:
“though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow;” (1:18).
One other thing about those cochineal insects used for red dye-they are actually
milky white on the outside. Only when they are crushed do they release their red
blood. That little fact echoes for us other words from Isaiah:
"[Jesus] was crushed for our iniquities" (Isaiah 53:5).
Jesus, who knew no sin, is here to save us who are red with sin.
You see, in His crushing death, Jesus endured a whole lot of red
so you could be white as snow.
By: Kenneth Petersen
Reflect & Pray
How do "sins . . . like scarlet" stain your life?
How might Jesus restore you and make you clean again?
Dear God, thank You for Your Son,
Jesus, and the saving grace of His shed blood.

Week 6 Showing Grace to Others - Day 3 The Kind Heart of Forgiveness
Ephesians 4:32
32 (2Co 2:10; Col 3:12-13; Mt 6:12) And be kind one to another,
tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ also forgave you.
32 and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another,
even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
Don had lost his job because he stood against his boss and refused to
compromise his Christian principles. Certain friends in the company had
turned against him, choosing to save their own jobs at any cost,
and he felt very alone, abandoned when he most needed the support
of those who cared.
But Don showed no signs of bitterness or unforgiveness. He refused to
recite the details of his firing to those around him, saying simply and
honestly, " I believe my boss was wrong in what he did. But God can show
him." The kindness of Don's heart, and the tenderness with which he
extended forgiveness, became a testimony to all who knew him. Don's
boss never "saw the light", never repented, but Don lived in the freedom of
forgiving.
Comparison is a rare commodity among Christains today. We seem to be
overstocked with judgment and crammed full of condemnation, but we have
little space in the corners of our lives for tenderheartedness. We are quick
to assume that we know another person's heart and have the remedy for
the problem, rather then giving that person the benefit of the doubt,
the room to grow, the freedom to make a mistake and seek forgiveness.
Jesus demonstrated the king compassion necessary in forgiveness when he
looked down at the soldiers who has crucified him, gambling at his feet
for his cloak, and said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what
are doing."
When others hurt and betray us, they often "do not know what they are
doing." we can, in Christ, offer compassionate forgiveness to them -
not condoning their actions or excusing their wrong, but forgiving ,
in the simplicity and purity of God's love.
Application
a) What is the difference between excusing a wrong and forgiving?
b) How has God forgiven me for Christ's sake?
c) What does today's verse tell me about my attitude in forgiveness?
4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland
Ps 1:3
He will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
that brings forth its fruit in its season;
its leaf will not wither,
and whatever he does will prosper.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
That bringeth forth his fruit in his season;
His leaf also shall not wither;
And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:
When you are Angry of Vengeful
James 1:19-25
Hearing and Doing the Word
19 Therefore, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear,
slow to speak, and slow to anger,
20 for the anger of man does not work the righteousness of God.
21 Therefore lay aside all filthiness and remaining
wickedness and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able
to save your souls.
22 Be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man
viewing his natural face in a mirror.
24 He views himself, and goes his way,
and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
25 But whoever looks into
the perfect law of liberty, and continues in it,
and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work,
this man will be blessed in his deeds.
19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear,
slow to speak, slow to wrath:
20 for the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness,
and receive with meekness the engrafted word,
which is able to save your souls.
22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only,
deceiving your own selves.
23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer,
he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
24 for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway
forgetteth what manner of man he was.
25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty,
and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer,
but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
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?)
Alberta
Quick facts on Muslims in Alberta
Alberta 2015 population 4121700
est Muslim Population 195240
CNMM Networks: Calgary and Edmonton
It is estimated that Calgary has 82000 Muslims and Edmonton another 50000 .
Alberta may have a total as high as 195240 today.
Calgary is notable as the first Canadian city with a Muslim mayor. It's
become a prominent place of Islamic fundamentalism.
Edmonton's Muslim population is very diverse, with the largest group
coming from Tanzania, followed by Somalia, and then North African countries
such as Egypt, Morocco, etc.
Muslims are coming to faith in Jesus! They overcome huge spiritual,
emotional and cultural hurdles to follow Christ. Yet their challenges still
continue, especially in growing in discipleship. They often fell lost in our
Western congregations, and equally lost trying to find a church body with whom
they can identify. some are even being lured into Christian cult groups.
Please join us in praying for:
- The church to reach out to the growing Muslim populations in Alberta.
- for Canadian churches to start contextualised discipleship ministries to
Muslim-background believers.
- for Muslm-background believers to be well grounded spiritually and socially
in their faith and the Church.
- and for Muslim-background believers to share their faith with their
not-yet-believing family and friendship networks.
- for Farsi and Arabic fellowships to grow in spiritual maturity and outreach.
- for current and new workers among Muslims in these growing Muslim
in these growing Muslim population centres.
Adding further
30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020
Under the Keep Praying page
When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month
and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days
of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that
usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,
of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be
decorated and festivals will be held.
For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the
distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of
Islam.
You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
which means Blessed Eid!"
Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you
know, and Muslims around the world:
- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions
in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about
unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such
movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three
decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim
relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,
"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
18 Even on My menservants and maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:
blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]
Footnotes
Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.
- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective
discipleship movements among Muslim people.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for
Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.
Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a
hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under
a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the
house."
Ideas for prayer
- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you
- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving
Christ among Muslim people -
Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."
- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims
throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!
My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further
call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity
(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, ...) .

LEVITICUS 4
The Sin Offering
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 (Lev 4:27; Ps 19:12) Speak to the children of Israel, saying:
When a person sins unintentionally against any of the commandments
of the Lord that should not be done, and he violates one of them,
3 (Lev 4:14; 9:2) if the anointed priest sins, so as to bring guilt
on the people, he shall bring for his sin that he has committed
a bull without blemish to the Lord for a sin offering.
4 (Lev 1:3-4) He shall bring the bull to the opening of the tent
of meeting before the Lord, and he shall lay his hand on the bull's head
and slaughter the bull before the Lord.
5 (Lev 16:14; 4:16-17) The anointed priest shall take some
of the bull's blood and bring it into the tent of meeting.
6 The priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle
some of the blood seven times before the Lord in front of the veil
of the sanctuary.
7 (Lev 8:15; 9:9; 16:18) Then the priest shall put some of the blood
on the horns of the altar of fragrant incense before the Lord
which is in the tent of meeting, and shall pour the rest of the blood
of the bull at the base of the altar of the burnt offering which is
at the door of the tent of meeting.
8 (Lev 3:3-5) Then he shall remove all the fat of the bull that is
for the sin offering - the fat that covers the entrails - and all the fat
that is on the entrails,
9 (Lev 3:4) and the two kidneys with the fat that is above them,
which is on the loins, and the appendage on the liver
which he shall remove with the kidneys,
10 just as these are removed from the bull of the peace sacrifice,
and the priest shall burn them on the altar of the burnt offering.
11 (Nu 19:5; Ex 29:14) The skin of the bull, and all its flesh,
with its head, its legs, its entrails, and its dung,
12 (Heb 13:11; Ex 29:14) all the rest of the bull,
he shall bring outside the camp to a ritually clean
("Clean: and "unclean" refer to ceremonial aspects of places,
objects, or people.) place at the ash pile and burn it on wood
with fire. It shall be burned on the ash heap.
13 (Lev 5:17; 5:2-5) If the whole congregation of Israel
commits an unintentional sin, and the matter is hidden
from the eyes of the assembly, and they do any one of the things
that by the commandments of the Lord should not be done,
and they are found guilty,
14 (Lev 4:3; 4:23) and the sin that they committed
against the commandment becomes known,
the congregation shall offer a bull for a sin offering,
and they will bring it before the tent of meeting.
15 (Lev 1:4) The elders of the congregation shall lay
their hands on the head of the bull before the Lord,
and the bull will be slaughtered before the Lord.
16 (Lev 4:5-12) The anointed priest shall bring
some of the bull's blood to the tent of meeting.
17 And the priest shall dip his finger in some of the blood
and sprinkle it seven times before the Lord in front of the veil.
18 He shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar that is before
the Lord, which is in the tent of meeting, and he shall pour all the rest
of the blood at the base of the altar of the burnt offering that is
at the opening of the tent of meeting.
19 He shall remove all the fat from it and burn it on the altar.
20 (Nu 15:25; Heb 10:10-12) He shall do to this bull just
as he did to the bull of the sin offering;
this is what he will do to it.
And the priest shall make atonement for them, and they shall be forgiven.
21 (Lev 16:15) He shall bring the bull outside the camp,
and he shall burn it just as he burned the first bull.
It is the sin offering of the congregation.
22 (Lev 4:2; 4:13) Whenever a leader sins,
and he does unintentionally any one of the things that
by the commandments of the Lord his God should not be done
and is found guilty,
23 (Lev 4:14) or his sin that he committed was made known to him,
he shall bring as his offering a male goat without blemish,
24 and he shall lay his hand on the head of the goat,
and he shall slaughter it in the place where they slaughter
the burnt offering before the Lord. It is a sin offering.
25 (Lev 4:7; 4:18) The priest shall take some of the blood
of the sin offering on his finger and put it on the horns
of the altar of the burnt offering, and he shall pour out its blood
at the base of the altar of the burnt offering.
26 (Lev 4:20; 3:5) And he shall burn all its fat on the altar,
like the fat of the peace sacrifice, and the priest shall make
atonement for him for his sin, and he shall be forgiven.
27 (Lev 4:2; Nu 15:27; Lev 4:13) If any one of the common people
should sin unintentionally by doing one of the things
that by the commandments of the Lord should not be done,
and is found guilty,
28 (Lev 4:23; 4:3; 4:32) or his sin that he committed
was made known to him, he shall bring as his offering
a female goat without blemish, for his sin that he committed.
29 (Lev 4:4; 4:24) He shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering,
and he shall slaughter the sin offering in the place of the burnt offering.
30 (Lev 4:7; 4:25) The priest shall take some of its blood on his finger
and put it on the horns of the altar of the burnt offering,
and he shall pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar.
31 (Lev 4:26; 4:35; 1:9) And he shall remove all its fat,
just as the fat is removed from the peace sacrifice,
and the priest shall burn it on the altar for a pleasing aroma to the Lord,
and the priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be forgiven.
32 (Lev 4:28; 1Pe 2:22; 3:18) And if he brings a sheep for a sin offering,
he shall bring a female without blemish,
33 and lay his hand on the head of the sin offering, and he shall
slaughter it for a sin offering in the place where they slaughter
the burnt offering.
34 (Lev 4:7; 4:25) The priest shall take some of the blood
of the sin offering on his finger and put it on the horns
of the altar of the burnt offering, and all the rest of its blood
he shall pour out at the base of the altar.
35 (Lev 4:26; 4:20) And he shall remove all the fat, just as
the fat of the sheep is removed from the peace sacrifice,
and the priest shall burn it on the altar as a food offering
to the Lord made by fire. And the priest shall make atonement
for his sin that he committed, and he shall be forgiven.
Leviticus 4
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[2] Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin through
ignorance against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things
which ought not to be done, and shall do against any of them:
[3] If the priest that is anointed do sin according to the sin of the
people; then let him bring for his sin, which he hath sinned, a young
bullock without blemish unto the LORD for a sin offering.
[4] And he shall bring the bullock unto the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation before the LORD; and shall lay his hand upon the bullock's
head, and kill the bullock before the LORD.
[5] And the priest that is anointed shall take of the bullock's blood, and
bring it to the tabernacle of the congregation:
[6] And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the
blood seven times before the LORD, before the vail of the sanctuary.
[7] And the priest shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar
of sweet incense before the LORD, which is in the tabernacle of the
congregation: and shall pour all the blood of the bullock at the bottom of
the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of
the congregation.
[8] And he shall take off from it all the fat of the bullock for the sin
offering; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon
the inwards,
[9] And the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the
flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take
away,
[10] As it was taken off from the bullock of the sacrifice of peace
offerings: and the priest shall burn them upon the altar of the burnt
offering.
[11] And the skin of the bullock, and all his flesh, with his head, and with
his legs, and his inwards, and his dung,
[12] Even the whole bullock shall he carry forth without the camp unto a
clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn him on the wood with
fire: where the ashes are poured out shall he be burnt.
[13] And if the whole congregation of Israel sin through ignorance, and the
thing be hid from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done somewhat
against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which should
not be done, and are guilty;
[14] When the sin, which they have sinned against it, is known, then the
congregation shall offer a young bullock for the sin, and bring him before
the tabernacle of the congregation.
[15] And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands upon the head
of the bullock before the LORD: and the bullock shall be killed before the
LORD.
[16] And the priest that is anointed shall bring of the bullock's blood to
the tabernacle of the congregation:
[17] And the priest shall dip his finger in some of the blood, and sprinkle
it seven times before the LORD, even before the vail.
[18] And he shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar which is
before the LORD, that is in the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall
pour out all the blood at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering,
which is at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
[19] And he shall take all his fat from him, and burn it upon the altar.
[20] And he shall do with the bullock as he did with the bullock for a sin
offering, so shall he do with this: and the priest shall make an atonement
for them, and it shall be forgiven them.
[21] And he shall carry forth the bullock without the camp, and burn him as
he burned the first bullock: it is a sin offering for the congregation.
[22] When a ruler hath sinned, and done somewhat through ignorance against
any of the commandments of the LORD his God concerning things which should
not be done, and is guilty;
[23] Or if his sin, wherein he hath sinned, come to his knowledge; he shall
bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a male without blemish:
[24] And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat, and kill it in the
place where they kill the burnt offering before the LORD: it is a sin
offering.
[25] And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his
finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall
pour out his blood at the bottom of the altar of burnt offering.
[26] And he shall burn all his fat upon the altar, as the fat of the
sacrifice of peace offerings: and the priest shall make an atonement for him
as concerning his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.
[27] And if any one of the common people sin through ignorance, while he
doeth somewhat against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things
which ought not to be done, and be guilty;
[28] Or if his sin, which he hath sinned, come to his knowledge: then he
shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a female without blemish, for
his sin which he hath sinned.
[29] And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay
the sin offering in the place of the burnt offering.
[30] And the priest shall take of the blood thereof with his finger, and put
it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out all the
blood thereof at the bottom of the altar.
[31] And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat is taken away
from off the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn it upon
the altar for a sweet savour unto the LORD; and the priest shall make an
atonement for him, and it shall be forgiven him.
[32] And if he bring a lamb for a sin offering, he shall bring it a female
without blemish.
[33] And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay
it for a sin offering in the place where they kill the burnt offering
[34] And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his
finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall
pour out all the blood thereof at the bottom of the altar:
[35] And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat of the lamb is
taken away from the sacrifice of the peace offerings; and the priest shall
burn them upon the altar, according to the offerings made by fire unto the
LORD: and the priest shall make an atonement for his sin that he hath
committed, and it shall be forgiven him.

Jesus'’' Blood
Isaiah 1:15-20
15 (Isa 59:2-3; Mic 3:4) When you reach out your hands,
I will hide My eyes from you;
even when you make many prayers,
I will not hear.
Your hands are full of blood.
16 (Ps 26:6; 1Pe 3:11) Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean;
put away the evil from your deeds, from before My eyes.
Cease to do evil,
17 (Jer 22:3; Zep 2:3) learn to do good; seek justice,
relieve the oppressed;
judge the fatherless,
plead for the widow.
18 (Ps 51:7; Rev 7:14) Come now, and let us reason together,
says the Lord.
Though your sins be as scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;
though they be red like crimson,
they shall be as wool.
19 (Dt 30:15-16) If you are willing and obedient,
you shall eat the good of the land;
20 (Isa 40:5; 58:14) but if you refuse and rebel,
you shall be devoured with the sword;
for the mouth of the Lord has spoken it.
[15] And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you:
yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
[16] Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before
mine eyes; cease to do evil;
[17] Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the
fatherless, plead for the widow.
[18] Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins
be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like
crimson, they shall be as wool.
[19] If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
[20] But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for
the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
The colour red doesn't always naturally occur in the things we make.
How do you put the vibrant color of an apple into a T-shirt or lipstick?
In early times, the red pigment was made from clay or red rocks. In the 1400s,
the Aztecs invented a way of using cochineal insects to make red dye.
Today, those same tiny insects supply the world with red.
In the Bible, red denotes royalty, and it also signifies sin and shame.
Further, it's the colour of blood. When soldiers "stripped [Jesus] and
put a scarlet robe on him" (Matthew 27:28), these three symbolisms merged
into one heartbreaking image of red: Jesus was ridiculed as would-be royalty,
He was cloaked in shame, and He was robed in the colour of the blood He would
soon shed. But Isaiah's words foretell the promise of this crimsoned Jesus to
deliver us from the red that stains us:
“though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow;” (1:18).
One other thing about those cochineal insects used for red dye-they are actually
milky white on the outside. Only when they are crushed do they release their red
blood. That little fact echoes for us other words from Isaiah:
"[Jesus] was crushed for our iniquities" (Isaiah 53:5).
Jesus, who knew no sin, is here to save us who are red with sin.
You see, in His crushing death, Jesus endured a whole lot of red
so you could be white as snow.
By: Kenneth Petersen
Reflect & Pray
How do "sins . . . like scarlet" stain your life?
How might Jesus restore you and make you clean again?
Dear God, thank You for Your Son,
Jesus, and the saving grace of His shed blood.

Week 6 Showing Grace to Others - Day 3 The Kind Heart of Forgiveness
Ephesians 4:32
32 (2Co 2:10; Col 3:12-13; Mt 6:12) And be kind one to another,
tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ also forgave you.
32 and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another,
even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
Don had lost his job because he stood against his boss and refused to
compromise his Christian principles. Certain friends in the company had
turned against him, choosing to save their own jobs at any cost,
and he felt very alone, abandoned when he most needed the support
of those who cared.
But Don showed no signs of bitterness or unforgiveness. He refused to
recite the details of his firing to those around him, saying simply and
honestly, " I believe my boss was wrong in what he did. But God can show
him." The kindness of Don's heart, and the tenderness with which he
extended forgiveness, became a testimony to all who knew him. Don's
boss never "saw the light", never repented, but Don lived in the freedom of
forgiving.
Comparison is a rare commodity among Christains today. We seem to be
overstocked with judgment and crammed full of condemnation, but we have
little space in the corners of our lives for tenderheartedness. We are quick
to assume that we know another person's heart and have the remedy for
the problem, rather then giving that person the benefit of the doubt,
the room to grow, the freedom to make a mistake and seek forgiveness.
Jesus demonstrated the king compassion necessary in forgiveness when he
looked down at the soldiers who has crucified him, gambling at his feet
for his cloak, and said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what
are doing."
When others hurt and betray us, they often "do not know what they are
doing." we can, in Christ, offer compassionate forgiveness to them -
not condoning their actions or excusing their wrong, but forgiving ,
in the simplicity and purity of God's love.
Application
a) What is the difference between excusing a wrong and forgiving?
b) How has God forgiven me for Christ's sake?
c) What does today's verse tell me about my attitude in forgiveness?
4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland
Ps 1:3
He will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
that brings forth its fruit in its season;
its leaf will not wither,
and whatever he does will prosper.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
That bringeth forth his fruit in his season;
His leaf also shall not wither;
And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:
When you are Angry of Vengeful
James 1:19-25
Hearing and Doing the Word
19 Therefore, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear,
slow to speak, and slow to anger,
20 for the anger of man does not work the righteousness of God.
21 Therefore lay aside all filthiness and remaining
wickedness and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able
to save your souls.
22 Be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man
viewing his natural face in a mirror.
24 He views himself, and goes his way,
and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
25 But whoever looks into
the perfect law of liberty, and continues in it,
and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work,
this man will be blessed in his deeds.
19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear,
slow to speak, slow to wrath:
20 for the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness,
and receive with meekness the engrafted word,
which is able to save your souls.
22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only,
deceiving your own selves.
23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer,
he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
24 for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway
forgetteth what manner of man he was.
25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty,
and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer,
but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
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.

6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)
Alberta
Quick facts on Muslims in Alberta
Alberta 2015 population 4121700
est Muslim Population 195240
CNMM Networks: Calgary and Edmonton
It is estimated that Calgary has 82000 Muslims and Edmonton another 50000 .
Alberta may have a total as high as 195240 today.
Calgary is notable as the first Canadian city with a Muslim mayor. It's
become a prominent place of Islamic fundamentalism.
Edmonton's Muslim population is very diverse, with the largest group
coming from Tanzania, followed by Somalia, and then North African countries
such as Egypt, Morocco, etc.
Muslims are coming to faith in Jesus! They overcome huge spiritual,
emotional and cultural hurdles to follow Christ. Yet their challenges still
continue, especially in growing in discipleship. They often fell lost in our
Western congregations, and equally lost trying to find a church body with whom
they can identify. some are even being lured into Christian cult groups.
Please join us in praying for:
- The church to reach out to the growing Muslim populations in Alberta.
- for Canadian churches to start contextualised discipleship ministries to
Muslim-background believers.
- for Muslm-background believers to be well grounded spiritually and socially
in their faith and the Church.
- and for Muslim-background believers to share their faith with their
not-yet-believing family and friendship networks.
- for Farsi and Arabic fellowships to grow in spiritual maturity and outreach.
- for current and new workers among Muslims in these growing Muslim
in these growing Muslim population centres.

30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020
Under the Keep Praying page
When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month
and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days
of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that
usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,
of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be
decorated and festivals will be held.
For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the
distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of
Islam.
You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
which means Blessed Eid!"
Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you
know, and Muslims around the world:
- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions
in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about
unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such
movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three
decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim
relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,
"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
18 Even on My menservants and maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:
blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]
Footnotes
Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.
- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective
discipleship movements among Muslim people.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for
Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.
Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a
hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under
a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the
house."
Ideas for prayer
- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you
- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving
Christ among Muslim people -
Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."
- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims
throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!
My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further
call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity
(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, ...) .
