Exodus 22 - 24
EXODUS 22
Laws About Restitution
1 (2Sa 12:6; Lk 19:8) If a man steals an ox or a sheep and kills it
or sells it, then he shall repay five oxen for an ox,
and four sheep for a sheep.
2 (Mt 24:43; Nu 35:27) If a thief is caught breaking in
and is struck so that he dies, then there will be no blood guilt for him.
3 (Ex 21:2) If the sun has risen on him, then there is blood guilt for him.
He must make full restitution. If he has nothing,
then he will be sold for his theft.
4 (Ex 21:16; 22:1) If the stolen item is in fact found alive
in his possession, whether it be an ox, or donkey, or sheep,
then he shall repay double.
5 If a man causes a field or vineyard to be eaten
and puts out his beast so that it feeds in another man's field,
he must make restitution of the best of his own field
and of the best of his own vineyard.
6 (Ex 22:9) If fire breaks out and catches in thorn bushes,
so that stacked grain or the standing grain or the field are consumed,
then he who started the fire must surely make restitution.
7 If a man gives his neighbor money or items to be kept for him,
and it is stolen from the man’s house, if the thief is caught,
he must repay double.
8 (Ex 21:6; 22:28) If the thief is not caught, then the owner of the house
will be brought before the judges to determine
if he has laid his hand on his neighbor's goods.
9 (Dt 25:1; Ex 22:4) For any kind of trespass, whether it be for an ox,
for a donkey, for a sheep, for clothing, or for any type of lost thing,
where another says it is his, the case of both parties shall come
before the judges. And whoever the judges find guilty will pay double
to his neighbor.
10 If a man gives his neighbor a donkey, or an ox, or a sheep,
or any beast to keep for him, and it dies, or is injured,
or is driven away while no one sees it,
11 (Heb 6:16) then there will be an oath before the Lord between
both of them that he has not laid his hand upon his neighbor's property.
And its owner must accept this, and he will not have to make restitution.
12 (Ge 31:39) However, if it was stolen from him, he shall
make restitution to its owner.
13 If it is torn in pieces, then let him bring it as evidence,
and he will not have to repay for that which was torn.
14 If a man borrows anything from his neighbor,
and it is hurt or dies when the owner was not with it,
then he shall surely make restitution.

If it was a hired thing, it came with his hire.

you shall return it to him before the sun goes down,
27 (Ex 34:6; 2Ch 30:9) for that is his only covering;
it is his garment for his body. In what else will he sleep?
And when he cries out to Me, I will hear, for I am gracious.
28 (Ecc 10:20; Ac 23:5) You shall not curse
God or curse the ruler of your people.

for My name is in him.

EXODUS 24
The Covenant Confirmed
1 (Ex 6:23; Nu 11:16) Then He said to Moses, "Come up to the Lord, you,
and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel,
and you shall worship from a distance.
2 (Ex 24:13; 24:15) Moses alone shall come near the Lord,
but they shall not come near, nor may the people go up with him."
3 (Ex 19:8; 24:7) Moses came and told the people
all the words of the Lord and all the ordinances.
Then all the people answered with one voice and said,
"All the words which the Lord has said we will do."
4 (Dt 31:9; Ge 28:18) Moses wrote all the words of the Lord,
and rose up early in the morning,
and built an altar at the foot of the mountain
with twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.
5 (Ex 18:12) He sent young Israelite men who offered burnt offerings
and sacrificed peace offerings of young bulls to the Lord.
6 (Heb 9:18) Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins,
and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.
7 (Ex 24:3-4)He took the Book of the Covenant
and read in the hearing of the people,
and they said, "All that the Lord has said we will do,
and we will be obedient."
8 (Mt 26:28; Heb 13:20) So Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it
on the people, and said, "This is the blood of the covenant,
which the Lord has made with you in accordance with all these words."
Moses on Mount Sinai
9 (Ex 24:1) Then Moses went up with Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu,
and seventy of the elders of Israel,
10 (Jn 1:18; Eze 10:1) and they saw the God of Israel,
and under His feet there was something like
a paved work of sapphire stone as clear as the sky itself.
11 (Ge 16:13; 31:54) He did not lay His hand upon
the nobles of the children of Israel.
Also they saw God, and they ate and they drank.
12 (Ex 31:18; 32:15-16) The Lord said to Moses,
"Come up to Me to the mountain and stay there,
and I will give you the stone tablets with law
and the commandments which I have written,
so that you may teach them."
13 (Ex 33:11; 3:1) Moses rose up with Joshua his attendant,
and Moses went up to the mountain of God.
14 (Ex 17:10; 17:12) He said to the elders,
"Wait for us in this place until we return to you.
Aaron and Hur are with you.
Whoever has any matters of dispute let him come to them."
15 (Ex 19:9; 19:16) Moses went up to the mountain,
and the cloud covered the mountain.
16 (Ex 16:10; Nu 14:10) The glory of the Lord rested on Mount Sinai,
and the cloud covered it for six days.
And on the seventh day He called to Moses from the midst of the cloud.
17 (Ex 3:2; Heb 12:29) Now the appearance of the glory of the Lord
was like a consuming fire on the top of the mountain to the eyes
of the children of Israel.
18 (Ex 34:28; Dt 9:9) Moses went into the midst of the cloud
and went up to the mountain.
And Moses was on the mountain for forty days and forty nights.
2) Our Daily Bread for 2 Feb 2021

entitled What's Your Reputation?
Ephesians 5:8–14
8 (Lk 16:8; Jn 12:36) For you were formerly darkness,
but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light-
9 (Ro 15:14) for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness
and righteousness and truth-
10 (1Th 5:21) proving what is pleasing to the Lord.
11 (Ro 13:12; 1Ti 5:20) And do not have fellowship
with the unfruitful works of darkness; instead, expose them.
12 (Eph 5:3) For it is shameful even to speak
of those things which are done by them in secret.
13 (Jn 3:20–21) But all things are exposed
when they are revealed by the light,
for everything that becomes visible is light.
14 (Isa 60:1; 26:19) Therefore He says:
"Awake, you who sleep,
arise from the dead,
and Christ will give you light."
At local high school sporting events,
Ted was the largest and loudest cheerleader in the stands.
Before a degenerative condition took its toll on him,
he stood six feet six inches tall and weighed 290 pounds.
Ted's crowd-stirring chants of "Blue!"
(the school's color) and candy-tossing at school events were legendary,
earning him the name "Big Blue."
But Ted's reputation in his community wasn't just for cheerleading.
Neither was it for the alcohol addiction he experienced as a younger man.
No, he will be remembered for his love for God and family,
for his generosity and kindness.
At a four-hour "home-going service" that celebrated his life,
person after person came forward to testify
about the vibrant Christlike ways of a man who'd
been rescued from darkness by the power of Jesus through the gospel.
In Ephesians 5:8, Paul reminded believers that they "were once darkness"
but quickly noted, "but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light."
Such is the call for every believer in Jesus. Children of light, like Ted,
have much to offer those engulfed in this world’s darkness.
"Fruitless deeds of darkness" are to be avoided (see vv. 3-4, 11).
Those in our communities and throughout the world need the brilliant,
distinctive witness of those upon whom Jesus has shined (v. 14).
How distinctive? As different as light is from darkness.
By: Arthur Jackson
Reflect & Pray
What are some reasons you hesitate to more intentionally
spread Christ's light in this world?
Where are the places around you that need His light?
Father, forgive me for my passivity about being light.
Lead me and use me as light in the dark spaces of this world.

Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools
Week 8 Guided by Grace Day 7 - Upheld by His Hand
Is 41:10
10 (Jos 1:9; Isa 41:13–14) Do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you, I will help you,
yes, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.
Beth had the same recurring nightmare: she was running along a cliff,
then she slipped, and fell headlong, into a bottomless ravine.
Falling, without control,without end, falling, falling, falling...
Beth's dream may be one many of us identify with. The sense
of losing control can be nightmarish, and we may fear falling
without end, without remedy. Financial failure may be the chasm
that we face, or professional disgrace. Personal relationships
may go out of control, and we look into a never-ending
ravine of pain and misunderstanding
But God says, "Don't be afraid; I am holding you up."
Like the father who helps his child learn to swim,
God holds us above the water. We may not feel his hands;
indeed, we may suspect that he lets us go just so we can
do it on our own. But he promises that he doesn't let go.
"I am with you." he declares. "I give you strength
and hold you up."
God's promise never to let go takes on new meaning
in a world where relationships are temporary and life is
uncertain. We do not need to fear, for he is with us.
We can relax and stop striving, for he is our God.
His strength becomes ours; amid all our sin and rebellion,
he undergrids us with his righteousness. We cannot fall,
for he holds us fiirm.
Application
a) Under what circumstances have I felt myself "falling"?
b) How does God's promise in Is 41:10 help me to have faith
in the midst of my fears?
4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland
Mark 10:29-30
29 (Mk 8:35) Jesus answered, "Truly I say to you,
there is no one who has left a house or brothers
or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields,
for My sake and for the gospel’s sake,
30 (Mt 12:32) who shall not receive a hundred times as
much now in this age, houses and brothers and sisters
and mothers and children and fields,
with persecution, and in the age to come, eternal life.
5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:
God's GIft of Salvation
Eph 2:1-10
EPHESIANS 2
From Death to Life
1 (Col 2:13; Lk 15:24) And you were dead in your trespasses and sins,
2 (Jn 12:31; Eph 6:12; 2:3) in which you formerly walked according
to the age of this world and according to
the prince of the power of the air,
the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience,
3 (Gal 2:15–16; Ps 51:5) among them we all also once
lived in the lusts of our flesh,
doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind,
and we were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.
4 (Ro 2:4; Eph 1:7) But God, being rich in mercy,
because of His great love with which He loved us,
5 (Eph 2:1; Ac 15:11; Eph 2:8) even when we were dead in sins,
made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),
6 (Eph 1:3) and He raised us up and seated us together
in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
7 (Titus 3:4; Eph 2:4) so that in the coming ages He might show
the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
8 (Eph 2:5; Mk 16:16) For by grace you have been saved through faith,
and this is not of yourselves. It is the gift of God,
9 (2Ti 1:9; Ro 3:20) not of works, so that no one should boast.
10 (Eph 4:24; 2Co 5:17; Eph 1:4) For we are His workmanship,
created in Christ Jesus for good works,
which God prepared beforehand,
so that we should walk in them.
Remember God's promises when You pray
The Lord's prayer
Matthew 6:9-13
9 "Therefore pray in this manner:
Our Father who is in heaven,
hallowed be Your name.
10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;
Your will be done
on earth, as it is in heaven.
11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.
12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."
6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)
Alberta
Quick facts on Muslims in Alberta
Alberta 2015 population 4121700
est Muslim Population 195240
CNMM Networks: Calgary and Edmonton
It is estimated that Calgary has 82000 Muslims and Edmonton another 50000 .
Alberta maoy have a total as hihg as 195240 today.
Calgary is notable as the first Canadian city with a Muslim mayor. It's
become a prominent place of Islamic fundamentalism.
Edmonton's Muslim population is very diverse, with the legrest group
coming from Tanzania, followed by Somalia, and then North African countries
such as Egypt, Morocco, etc.
Muslims are coming to faith in JEsus! They overcome huge spiritual,
emotional and cultural hurdles to follow Christ. Yet their challenges still
continue, especially in growing in discpleship. They often fell lost in our
Western congreations, and euqally lost trying to find a church body with whom
they can identify. some are even being lured into Christian cult groups.
Please join us in praying for:
- The church to reach out to the growing Muslim populations in Alberta.
- for Canadian churches to start contextualised discipleship ministries to
Muslim-background believers.
- for Muslm-background believers to be well grounded spiritually and socially
in their faith and the Church.
- and for Muslim-background believers to share their faith with their
not-yet-believing family and friendship networks.
- for Farsi and Arabic fellowships to grow in spiritual maturity and outreach.
- for current and new workers among Muslims in these growing Muslim
in these growing Muslim population centres.
Adding further
30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020
Under the Keep Praying page
When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month
and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days
of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that
usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,
of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be
decorated and festivals will be held.
For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the
distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of
Islam.
You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
which means Blessed Eid!"
Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you
know, and Muslims around the world:
- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions
in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about
unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such
movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three
decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim
relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,
"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
18 Even on My menservants and maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:
blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]
Footnotes
Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.
- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective
discipleship movements among Muslim people.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for
Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.
Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a
hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under
a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the
house."
Ideas for prayer
- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you
- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving
Christ among Muslim people -
Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."
- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims
throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!
My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further
call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity
(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, ...) .
7) Prayers for the nation (Canada) coming from Prayer map of Canada
http://www.ehc.ca
6th Day of the Month
a) Pray for a more effective witness by the church in every Canadian community
(
Deut 4:6-7
6 (Job 28:28; Pr 1:7) Therefore, keep and do them,
for this is your wisdom
and your understanding in the sight of the
nations which shall hear all these statutes,
and say, "Surely this great nation is a wise
and understanding people."
7 (2Sa 7:23; Ps 46:1) For what nation is there so great,
who has a god so near to it as the Lord our God is
in all things whenever we call on Him?
Matt 5:13-16
13 (Lev 2:13; Lk 14:34-35) "You are the salt of the earth.
But if the salt loses its saltiness, how shall it be made salty?
It is from then on good for nothing but to be thrown out
and to be trampled underfoot by men.
14 (Jn 8:12; Pr 4:18)"You are the light of the world.
A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.
15 (Mk 4:21; Lk 8:16)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.
16(1Pe 2:12; Mt 9:8; Jn 15:8)Let your light so shine before
men that they may see your good works
and glorify your Father who is in heaven."

Laws About Restitution
1 (2Sa 12:6; Lk 19:8) If a man steals an ox or a sheep and kills it
or sells it, then he shall repay five oxen for an ox,
and four sheep for a sheep.
2 (Mt 24:43; Nu 35:27) If a thief is caught breaking in
and is struck so that he dies, then there will be no blood guilt for him.
3 (Ex 21:2) If the sun has risen on him, then there is blood guilt for him.
He must make full restitution. If he has nothing,
then he will be sold for his theft.
4 (Ex 21:16; 22:1) If the stolen item is in fact found alive
in his possession, whether it be an ox, or donkey, or sheep,
then he shall repay double.
5 If a man causes a field or vineyard to be eaten
and puts out his beast so that it feeds in another man's field,
he must make restitution of the best of his own field
and of the best of his own vineyard.
6 (Ex 22:9) If fire breaks out and catches in thorn bushes,
so that stacked grain or the standing grain or the field are consumed,
then he who started the fire must surely make restitution.

and it is stolen from the man’s house, if the thief is caught,
he must repay double.
8 (Ex 21:6; 22:28) If the thief is not caught, then the owner of the house
will be brought before the judges to determine
if he has laid his hand on his neighbor's goods.
9 (Dt 25:1; Ex 22:4) For any kind of trespass, whether it be for an ox,
for a donkey, for a sheep, for clothing, or for any type of lost thing,
where another says it is his, the case of both parties shall come
before the judges. And whoever the judges find guilty will pay double
to his neighbor.
10 If a man gives his neighbor a donkey, or an ox, or a sheep,
or any beast to keep for him, and it dies, or is injured,
or is driven away while no one sees it,
11 (Heb 6:16) then there will be an oath before the Lord between
both of them that he has not laid his hand upon his neighbor's property.
And its owner must accept this, and he will not have to make restitution.
12 (Ge 31:39) However, if it was stolen from him, he shall
make restitution to its owner.
13 If it is torn in pieces, then let him bring it as evidence,
and he will not have to repay for that which was torn.

you shall return it to him before the sun goes down,
27 (Ex 34:6; 2Ch 30:9) for that is his only covering;
it is his garment for his body. In what else will he sleep?

for My name is in him.
22 (Ge 12:3; Dt 30:7) But if you diligently obey his voice

and I will completely destroy them.

EXODUS 24
The Covenant Confirmed
1 (Ex 6:23; Nu 11:16) Then He said to Moses, "Come up to the Lord, you,
and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel,
and you shall worship from a distance.
2 (Ex 24:13; 24:15) Moses alone shall come near the Lord,
but they shall not come near, nor may the people go up with him."
3 (Ex 19:8; 24:7) Moses came and told the people
all the words of the Lord and all the ordinances.
Then all the people answered with one voice and said,
"All the words which the Lord has said we will do."
4 (Dt 31:9; Ge 28:18) Moses wrote all the words of the Lord,
and rose up early in the morning,
and built an altar at the foot of the mountain
with twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.
5 (Ex 18:12) He sent young Israelite men who offered burnt offerings
and sacrificed peace offerings of young bulls to the Lord.
6 (Heb 9:18) Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins,
and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.
7 (Ex 24:3-4)He took the Book of the Covenant
and read in the hearing of the people,
and they said, "All that the Lord has said we will do,
and we will be obedient."
8 (Mt 26:28; Heb 13:20) So Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it
on the people, and said, "This is the blood of the covenant,
which the Lord has made with you in accordance with all these words."
Moses on Mount Sinai
9 (Ex 24:1) Then Moses went up with Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu,
and seventy of the elders of Israel,
10 (Jn 1:18; Eze 10:1) and they saw the God of Israel,
and under His feet there was something like
a paved work of sapphire stone as clear as the sky itself.
11 (Ge 16:13; 31:54) He did not lay His hand upon
the nobles of the children of Israel.
Also they saw God, and they ate and they drank.
12 (Ex 31:18; 32:15-16) The Lord said to Moses,
"Come up to Me to the mountain and stay there,
and I will give you the stone tablets with law
and the commandments which I have written,
so that you may teach them."
13 (Ex 33:11; 3:1) Moses rose up with Joshua his attendant,
and Moses went up to the mountain of God.
14 (Ex 17:10; 17:12) He said to the elders,
"Wait for us in this place until we return to you.
Aaron and Hur are with you.
Whoever has any matters of dispute let him come to them."
15 (Ex 19:9; 19:16) Moses went up to the mountain,
and the cloud covered the mountain.
16 (Ex 16:10; Nu 14:10) The glory of the Lord rested on Mount Sinai,
and the cloud covered it for six days.
And on the seventh day He called to Moses from the midst of the cloud.
17 (Ex 3:2; Heb 12:29) Now the appearance of the glory of the Lord
was like a consuming fire on the top of the mountain to the eyes
of the children of Israel.
18 (Ex 34:28; Dt 9:9) Moses went into the midst of the cloud
and went up to the mountain.
And Moses was on the mountain for forty days and forty nights.
2) Our Daily Bread for 2 Feb 2021
https://www.odb.org/CA/2021/02/06/big-blue-light
entitled What's Your Reputation?
Ephesians 5:8–14
8 (Lk 16:8; Jn 12:36) For you were formerly darkness,
but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light-
9 (Ro 15:14) for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness
and righteousness and truth-
10 (1Th 5:21) proving what is pleasing to the Lord.
11 (Ro 13:12; 1Ti 5:20) And do not have fellowship
with the unfruitful works of darkness; instead, expose them.
12 (Eph 5:3) For it is shameful even to speak
of those things which are done by them in secret.
13 (Jn 3:20–21) But all things are exposed
when they are revealed by the light,
for everything that becomes visible is light.
14 (Isa 60:1; 26:19) Therefore He says:
"Awake, you who sleep,
arise from the dead,
and Christ will give you light."
At local high school sporting events,
Ted was the largest and loudest cheerleader in the stands.
Before a degenerative condition took its toll on him,
he stood six feet six inches tall and weighed 290 pounds.
Ted's crowd-stirring chants of "Blue!"
(the school's color) and candy-tossing at school events were legendary,
earning him the name "Big Blue."
But Ted's reputation in his community wasn't just for cheerleading.
Neither was it for the alcohol addiction he experienced as a younger man.
No, he will be remembered for his love for God and family,
for his generosity and kindness.
At a four-hour "home-going service" that celebrated his life,
person after person came forward to testify
about the vibrant Christlike ways of a man who'd
been rescued from darkness by the power of Jesus through the gospel.
In Ephesians 5:8, Paul reminded believers that they "were once darkness"
but quickly noted, "but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light."
Such is the call for every believer in Jesus. Children of light, like Ted,
have much to offer those engulfed in this world’s darkness.
"Fruitless deeds of darkness" are to be avoided (see vv. 3-4, 11).
Those in our communities and throughout the world need the brilliant,
distinctive witness of those upon whom Jesus has shined (v. 14).
How distinctive? As different as light is from darkness.
By: Arthur Jackson
Reflect & Pray
What are some reasons you hesitate to more intentionally
spread Christ's light in this world?
Where are the places around you that need His light?
Father, forgive me for my passivity about being light.
Lead me and use me as light in the dark spaces of this world.

Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools
Week 8 Guided by Grace Day 7 - Upheld by His Hand
Is 41:10
10 (Jos 1:9; Isa 41:13–14) Do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you, I will help you,
yes, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.
Beth had the same recurring nightmare: she was running along a cliff,
then she slipped, and fell headlong, into a bottomless ravine.
Falling, without control,without end, falling, falling, falling...
Beth's dream may be one many of us identify with. The sense
of losing control can be nightmarish, and we may fear falling
without end, without remedy. Financial failure may be the chasm
that we face, or professional disgrace. Personal relationships
may go out of control, and we look into a never-ending
ravine of pain and misunderstanding
But God says, "Don't be afraid; I am holding you up."
Like the father who helps his child learn to swim,
God holds us above the water. We may not feel his hands;
indeed, we may suspect that he lets us go just so we can
do it on our own. But he promises that he doesn't let go.
"I am with you." he declares. "I give you strength
and hold you up."
God's promise never to let go takes on new meaning
in a world where relationships are temporary and life is
uncertain. We do not need to fear, for he is with us.
We can relax and stop striving, for he is our God.
His strength becomes ours; amid all our sin and rebellion,
he undergrids us with his righteousness. We cannot fall,
for he holds us fiirm.
Application
a) Under what circumstances have I felt myself "falling"?
b) How does God's promise in Is 41:10 help me to have faith
in the midst of my fears?
4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland
Mark 10:29-30
29 (Mk 8:35) Jesus answered, "Truly I say to you,
there is no one who has left a house or brothers
or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields,
for My sake and for the gospel’s sake,
30 (Mt 12:32) who shall not receive a hundred times as
much now in this age, houses and brothers and sisters
and mothers and children and fields,
with persecution, and in the age to come, eternal life.
5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:
God's GIft of Salvation
Eph 2:1-10
EPHESIANS 2
From Death to Life
1 (Col 2:13; Lk 15:24) And you were dead in your trespasses and sins,
2 (Jn 12:31; Eph 6:12; 2:3) in which you formerly walked according
to the age of this world and according to
the prince of the power of the air,
the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience,
3 (Gal 2:15–16; Ps 51:5) among them we all also once
lived in the lusts of our flesh,
doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind,
and we were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.
4 (Ro 2:4; Eph 1:7) But God, being rich in mercy,
because of His great love with which He loved us,
5 (Eph 2:1; Ac 15:11; Eph 2:8) even when we were dead in sins,
made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),
6 (Eph 1:3) and He raised us up and seated us together
in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
7 (Titus 3:4; Eph 2:4) so that in the coming ages He might show
the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
8 (Eph 2:5; Mk 16:16) For by grace you have been saved through faith,
and this is not of yourselves. It is the gift of God,
9 (2Ti 1:9; Ro 3:20) not of works, so that no one should boast.
10 (Eph 4:24; 2Co 5:17; Eph 1:4) For we are His workmanship,
created in Christ Jesus for good works,
which God prepared beforehand,
so that we should walk in them.
Remember God's promises when You pray
The Lord's prayer
Matthew 6:9-13
9 "Therefore pray in this manner:
Our Father who is in heaven,
hallowed be Your name.
10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;
Your will be done
on earth, as it is in heaven.
11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.
12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."
6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)
Alberta
Quick facts on Muslims in Alberta
Alberta 2015 population 4121700
est Muslim Population 195240
CNMM Networks: Calgary and Edmonton
It is estimated that Calgary has 82000 Muslims and Edmonton another 50000 .
Alberta maoy have a total as hihg as 195240 today.
Calgary is notable as the first Canadian city with a Muslim mayor. It's
become a prominent place of Islamic fundamentalism.
Edmonton's Muslim population is very diverse, with the legrest group
coming from Tanzania, followed by Somalia, and then North African countries
such as Egypt, Morocco, etc.
Muslims are coming to faith in JEsus! They overcome huge spiritual,
emotional and cultural hurdles to follow Christ. Yet their challenges still
continue, especially in growing in discpleship. They often fell lost in our
Western congreations, and euqally lost trying to find a church body with whom
they can identify. some are even being lured into Christian cult groups.
Please join us in praying for:
- The church to reach out to the growing Muslim populations in Alberta.
- for Canadian churches to start contextualised discipleship ministries to
Muslim-background believers.
- for Muslm-background believers to be well grounded spiritually and socially
in their faith and the Church.
- and for Muslim-background believers to share their faith with their
not-yet-believing family and friendship networks.
- for Farsi and Arabic fellowships to grow in spiritual maturity and outreach.
- for current and new workers among Muslims in these growing Muslim
in these growing Muslim population centres.

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

13 (Lev 2:13; Lk 14:34-35) "You are the salt of the earth.

and to be trampled underfoot by men.

A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.
15 (Mk 4:21; Lk 8:16)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.

men that they may see your good works
and glorify your Father who is in heaven."
