Day 163 - 12 June 2021 reflections
Day 163, 12 June 2021
1 Kings 8 ; 2 Chron 5
1 Kings 8
The Ark Brought to the Temple
2Ch 5:2-6:11
1 (2Ch 5:2-10; 2Sa 6:12-17) Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel
and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children
of Israel, before King Solomon in Jerusalem, so that they could ensure
that the ark of the covenant of the Lord would be brought
out of the City of David in Zion.
2 (Lev 23:34; 2Ch 7:8-10) All the men of Israel assembled themselves
before King Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim,
which is the seventh month.
3 (Dt 31:9; Jos 3:6) All the elders of Israel came,
and the priests carried the ark.
4 (1Ki 3:4; 2Ch 1:3) The priests and Levites brought up the ark of the Lord,
the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy implements that were
in the tabernacle.
5 (2Sa 6:13) King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel who were
assembled before him stood together in front of the ark,
sacrificing so many sheep and oxen
that they could not be told or numbered.
6 (2Sa 6:17; 1Ki 6:19) The priests brought in the ark of the covenant
of the Lord to its place in the inner sanctuary of the house,
to the Most Holy Place under the wings of the cherubim.
7 For the cherubim spread forth their two wings over the place
of the ark and covered the ark and the poles from above.
8 (Ex 25:13-15; 37:4-5) The poles were so long that the ends of the poles
could be seen out in the holy place in front of the inner sanctuary,
but they could not be seen from outside, and they are there to this day.
9 (Ex 25:21; 40:20; Heb 9:4) There was nothing in the ark except
for the two tablets of stone that Moses put there at Horeb
when the Lord made a covenant with the children of Israel
after they had come out of the land of Egypt.
10 (Ex 40:34-35; 2Ch 7:1-2) And when the priests came out of the holy place,
the cloud filled the house of the Lord,
11 so that the priests could not continue to minister because of the cloud,
for the glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord.
12 (Ps 97:2; Lev 16:2) Then Solomon spoke, saying,
"The Lord said that He would dwell in the thick darkness.
13 (2Sa 7:13; Ex 15:17) I have surely built You a house to dwell in,
a settled place for You to abide in forever."
14 (2Sa 6:18) Then the king turned around and blessed all the congregation
of Israel (and all the congregation of Israel stood),
15 (Lk 1:68; 1Ch 29:10) and he said,
"Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who spoke with His mouth to my father
David and has with His hand fulfilled His word, saying,
16 (1Sa 16:1; Dt 12:11) 'Since the day that I brought forth My people Israel
out of Egypt, I chose no city from any tribe of Israel to build a house
where My name might be praised, but I chose David to be over
My people Israel.'
17 (2Sa 7:2-3) "My father David had it in mind to build a house for the name
of the Lord God of Israel.
18 The Lord said to my father David, 'Whereas it was in your heart to build
a house for My name, you had good intentions.
19 (2Sa 7:5; 7:12-13) Nevertheless, you shall not build the house,
but your son who will come out of your loins,
he shall build the house for My name.'
20 (1Ch 28:5-6) “The Lord has fulfilled His word that He spoke,
and I have been elevated to the position of my father David,
to sit on the throne of Israel as the Lord promised, and have built a house
for the name of the Lord God of Israel.
21 (Dt 31:26; 1Ki 8:9) I have set a place there for the ark, which houses
the covenant of the Lord which He made with our fathers
when He brought them out of the land of Egypt."
Solomon's Prayer of Dedication
2Ch 6:12-40
22 (Ezr 9:5; Ex 9:33) Then Solomon stood in front of the altar of the Lord
in the presence of all the congregation of Israel and spread his hands
toward heaven.
23 (Dt 7:9; 2Sa 7:22) and he said,
"Lord God of Israel, there is no God like You in heaven above
or on earth below who keeps covenant and mercy with Your servants
who walk before You with all their hearts,
24 (1Ki 8:15) who have kept what You promised Your servant David my father.
You spoke also with Your mouth and have fulfilled it with Your hand,
as it is this day.
25 (1Ki 2:4) "Therefore, Lord God of Israel, now keep what You promised
Your servant David my father, saying, 'You will not fail to have a man sit
before Me on the throne of Israel, so long as your sons take heed
to their way, that they walk before Me as you have walked before Me.'
26 Now, O God of Israel, let Your word, I pray, be fulfilled,
which You spoke to Your servant David my father.
27 (Jer 23:24; 2Ch 2:6; Isa 66:1) "But will God indeed dwell on the earth?
See, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain You.
How much less can this house that I have built?
28 Yet give consideration to the prayer of Your servant
and to his supplication, O Lord my God; listen to the cry
and to the prayer which Your servant prays before You today,
29 (Dt 12:11; Ne 1:6) that Your eyes may be upon this house night
and day, even toward the place of which You have said,
'My name shall be there,' that You may listen to the prayer
which Your servant shall make toward this place.
30 (1Ki 8:34; 8:36) Please listen to the supplication of Your servant
and of Your people Israel when they pray toward this place.
May You hear in heaven, Your dwelling place,
and when You hear, forgive.
31 (Ex 22:8-11) "If any man sins against his neighbor, and an oath
be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and the oath comes
before Your altar in this house,
32 (Dt 25:1) then may You hear in heaven and act and judge
Your servants, condemning the wicked, bringing his way
on his own head, and justifying the righteous,
giving him according to his righteousness.
33 (Lev 26:17; Dt 28:25) "When Your people Israel are defeated
by their enemies, because they have sinned against You,
and they turn back to You and call upon Your name and pray
and make supplication to You in this house,
34 then may You hear in heaven and forgive the sin of Your people
Israel and bring them again to the land which You gave to their fathers.
35 (Lev 26:19; Dt 11:17) "When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain,
because they have sinned against You, if they pray toward this place
and call upon Your name and turn from their sin when You afflict them,
36 (1Sa 12:23; Ps 27:11) then may You hear in heaven
and forgive the sin of Your servants and Your people Israel,
that You may teach them the good way in which they should walk
and give rain upon Your land which You have given
to Your people as an inheritance.
37 (Lev 26:16; Dt 28:21-22) "When there is famine in the land,
if there is plague, blight, mildew, locust, or grasshopper;
if their enemy besieges them in the land of their cities;
whatever plague, whatever sickness there is;
38 whatever prayer, whatever supplication is made by anyone,
or by all Your people Israel, each knowing the affliction of his own heart,
and spreading his hands toward this house;
39 (1Sa 16:7; 1Ch 28:9) then hear in heaven Your dwelling place, and forgive,
and act, and render to everyone according to all his ways, whose hearts
You know-for only You know the hearts of the sons of men=
40 (Ps 130:4) so that they may fear You all the days that they live
in the land that You gave to our fathers.
41 (1Ki 10:1–2) "Also concerning the foreigner who is not of Your people Israel
and comes from a far country for Your name's sake
42 (Dt 3:24) (for they will hear of Your great name and of Your strong hand
and of Your outstretched arm), when he comes and prays toward this house,
43 (1Sa 17:46; Ps 102:15) may You hear in heaven, Your dwelling place,
and do all that the foreigner asks of You, so all people of the earth
will know Your name, to fear You as Your people Israel do,
and that they may know that this house, which I have built,
is called by Your name.
44 "If Your people go out to battle against their enemy
wherever You send them, and they pray to the Lord toward
the city which You have chosen and toward the house that
I have built for Your name,
45 then may You hear their prayer and supplication in heaven
and maintain their cause.
46 (Ecc 7:20; Pr 20:9; Lev 26:34-39) "If they sin against You
(for there is no man who does not sin),
and You get angry with them and hand them over to the enemy
so that they are carried away as captives to the land of the enemy,
ar or near,
47 (Ps 106:6; Ezr 9:6-7) yet when they come to their senses
while in the land where they were carried captives and repent
and make supplication to You, saying,
'We have sinned and have acted perversely and have committed wickedness,'
48 (Da 6:10; Dt 4:29) and so return to You with all their hearts
and with all their souls in the land of their enemies, who carried them away
as captives, and pray to You toward their land,which You gave
to their fathers, the city which You have chosen and the house
which I have built for Your name,
49 then may You hear their prayers and supplications in heaven,
Your dwelling place, and maintain their cause,
50 (Ps 106:46; 2Ch 30:9) and forgive Your people who have sinned against
You and all their transgressions which they committed against You
and grant them compassion before those who carried them away as captives,
so they will have compassion on them.
51 (Dt 4:20; Jer 11:4) For they are Your people and Your inheritance
whom You brought forth out of Egypt from the midst of the furnace of iron.
52 (1Ki 8:29) "Let Your eyes be open to the supplication of Your servant
and to the supplication of Your people Israel, to listen to them regarding
all for which they call upon You.
53 (Ex 19:5-6; Dt 32:9) For You did call them out from among all the people
of the earth to be Your inheritance, as You spoke by the hand of Moses
Your servant when You brought our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord God."
54 (Lk 22:45) Now when Solomon finished praying this prayer
and making supplication to the Lord, he arose from before the altar
of the Lord, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to heaven.
55 (1Ki 8:14; 2Sa 6:18) He stood up and blessed all the congregation
of Israel with a loud voice, saying,
56 (Dt 12:10; Jos 23:14-15) "Blessed be the Lord who has given rest
to His people Israel according to all that He promised.
Not one word of His promises which He gave by the hand of Moses
His servant has failed.
57 (Dt 31:6; Jos 1:5) The Lord our God be with us, as He was with
our fathers. Let Him neither leave us nor forsake us,
58 (Ps 119:36; Jer 31:33) that He may incline our hearts to Him,
to walk in all His ways and to keep His commandments, statutes,
and judgments, which He commanded our fathers.
59 And let these my words, with which I have made supplication
before the Lord, be close to the Lord our God day and night,
that He will maintain the cause of His servant and the cause of His people
Israel at all times as the situation demands,
60 (Dt 4:35; 1Ki 18:39) so that all the people of the earth may know
that the Lord is God and that there is none else.
61 (1Ki 11:4; 2Ki 20:3) Let your hearts, therefore, be perfect
with the Lord our God, to walk in His statutes
and keep His commandments, as at this day."
The Dedication of the Temple
2Ch 7:1-10
62 (2Sa 6:17-19) The king and all Israel with him offered sacrifices
before the Lord.
63 (Ezr 6:16-17; Ne 12:27) Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace offerings,
which he offered to the Lord,2 2 000 oxen and 120000 sheep.
So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of the Lord.
64 (2Ch 4:1) The same day the king consecrated the middle of the court
that was in front of the house of the Lord, for there he offered
burnt offerings and meat offerings and the fat of the peace offerings,
because the bronze altar that was before the Lord was too little to receive
the burnt offerings and meat offerings and the fat of the peace offerings.
65 (Nu 34:5; 34:8; 1Ki 8:2) At that time, Solomon held a feast
for all Israel, a great congregation, from the entry of Lebo Hamath
to the Brook of Egypt, before the Lord our God, seven days
and another seven days, a total of fourteen days.
66 On the eighth day he sent the people away, and they blessed the king
and went to their tents rejoicing in their hearts for all the goodness
that the Lord had done for David His servant and for Israel His people.
2 Chronicles 5
1 (1Ki 7:51) Thus all the work that Solomon did for the house of the Lord
was finished. And Solomon brought in the things that David his father
had dedicated: the silver and the gold and all the furnishings
in the treasury of the house of God.
The Ark Brought to the Temple
1Ki 8:1-21
2 (2Sa 6:12; 2Ch 1:4) Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel
and all the heads of the tribes and the leaders of the houses of the fathers
among the sons of Israel to bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord
from the City of David, which is Zion.
3 (1Ki 8:2; 2Ch 7:8-10) And all the men of Israel were assembled
before the king at the feast, which is the seventh month.
Tishri or Ethanim in the Hebrew calendar.
4 (Jos 3:6; 1Ki 8:3) All the elders of Israel came, and the Levites
carried the ark.
5Then they brought up the ark, and the tent of meeting,
and all the holy vessels that were in the tent.
So the Levitical priests brought them up.
6 And King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel,
who were assembled with him before the ark,
were sacrificing so many sheep and oxen
that they could not be counted or numbered.
7 The priests brought the ark of the covenant of the Lord to its place-
to the inner sanctuary of the temple, into the Most Holy Place,
under the wings of the cherubim.
8 Then the cherubim wings were spread out over the place of the ark
so that the cherubim covered the ark and its poles.
9 (1Ki 8:8-9) The poles were extended so that the ends of the poles
of the ark were seen in front of the Most Holy Place,
but they were not seen outside; and they are still there to this day.
10 (Heb 9:4; Dt 10:2-5) In the ark there was nothing except the two tablets
that Moses had given at Mount Horeb where the Lord made a covenant
with the sons of Israel when they went out from Egypt.
11 When the priests came out from the Most Holy Place-for all the priests who
were present had consecrated themselves, without keeping separate divisions-
12 (1Ch 15:24; 6:33) and all the Levitical singers, Asaph, Heman,
and Jeduthun, with their sons and relatives, all clothed in fine linen,
with cymbals, harps, and lyres, stood to the east of the altar,
and with them one hundred and twenty priests
who were sounding with trumpets,
13 (2Ch 7:3; Ezr 3:11) it happened, when the trumpet players and singers
made one sound to praise and give thanks to the Lord,
and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals
and all the instruments of music and praised the Lord saying,
"For He is good
and His mercy endures forever,"
that the house, the house of the Lord, was filled with a cloud.
14 (Ex 40:35; 2Ch 7:2) And the priests were not able to stand in order
to serve because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord had filled
the house of God.

entitled He Knows Your Name
Isaiah 43:1-7
Isaiah 43
The Redeemer of Israel
1 (Isa 43:7; 44:2) But now, thus says the Lord
who created you, O Jacob,
and He who formed you, O Israel:
Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by your name; you are Mine.
2 (Ps 66:12; Da 3:25-27) When you pass through waters,
I will be with you.
And through the rivers,
they shall not overflow you.
When you walk through the fire,
you shall not be burned,
nor shall the flame kindle on you.
3 (Ex 20:2; Pr 21:18) For I am the Lord your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior;
I gave Egypt for your ransom,
Ethiopia and Seba in your place.
4 (Ex 19:5-6) Since you were precious in My sight,
you have been honorable,
and I have loved you;
therefore, I will give men for you,
and people for your life.
5 (Isa 49:12; 44:2) Do not fear, for I am with you;
I will bring your descendants from the east,
and gather you from the west;
6 I will say to the north, "Give them up,"
and to the south, "Do not keep them back.
Bring My sons from afar,
and My daughters from the ends of the earth,
7 (Ps 100:3; Isa 43:1) even everyone who is called by My name,
for I have created him for My glory;
I have formed him, and I have made him.â€
After breaking with our logtime church, my husband and I reunited with
the fellowship after 3 long years. But how would people treat us?
Would they welcome us back? Love us? Forgive us for leaving? We got
our answer on a sunny Sunday Morning. As we welked through
the big church doors, we kept hearing our names. #Pat! Dan! It's so great to
see you!" As children's author Kate DiCamillo wrote in one of her popular
books, "Reader, nothing is sweeter in this sad world than the sound of
someone you love calling your name."
The same assurance was true for the people of Israel. We had chosen
a different church for a time, but they had turned their backs on God.
Yet He welcomed them back. He sent the prophet Isaiah to asure them
"Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name;
you are mine" (Is 43:1).
In this world-where we can feel unseen, unappreciated, and even unknown-
be assured that God knows each of us by names. "You are precious
in My sight," He promises (v.4)
"When you pass through waters,
I will be with you.
And through the rivers,
they shall not overflow you.
When you walk through the fire,
you shall not be burned,
nor shall the flame kindle on you." (v.2) The promis isn't just for Israel.
Jesus ransomed His life for us. He knows our namaes. Why? In love , we are His.
by Patricia Rayborn.
Why does Go welcome His people back to Him?
How has He shown that He knows you by name?
Prayer
Jesus, when I stray from Your arms and Your fellowship,
summon me home by name. I'm so grateful to be Yours.

Week 2 - Saved by Grace - Day 7 - Oh, Freedom!
Rom 8:1-2
Life in the Spirit
1 (1Co 1:30; 2Co 5:17) There is therefore now no condemnation
for those who are in Christ Jesus,
who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
2 (1Co 15:45; Ro 6:18; Jn 8:32) For the law of the Spirit of life
in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death.
In the classic movie, I want to live! actress Susan Hayward
plays a woman convicted of murder and sentenced to be executed.
The suspence builds; the execution is delayed as the officials
wait for a word of pardon. Finally, the woman in executed;
the call comes, and the pardon has been granted, but it is too late.
When no pardon is granted, condemnation leads to death. Our sin
marks us as "guilty" before God, and we deserve the wages of sin,
which is death. But in Jesus Chirst, the pardon does come - and
it comes in time. Our sin deserves condemation by God, and yet
he forgives us because Christ paid the penalty for us,
But we face other kinds of condemnation as well - self-condemnation,
that internal accusation that we still, somehow, must pay the price
of our own sin. Others often condemn us as well, offering much less
forgiveness and mercy than God does. And the Enemy of our souls condemns
us, trying to convince us that we don't, after all, have real freedom
from sin.
Yet Paul tells us in Romans 8, "There is therefore now no condemnation
for those who are in Christ Jesus". God has forgiven us freely; he has
granted his pardon. And in light of his forgiveness, how can we live
under the condemnation of others - or even of ourselves?
We are free, Paul says - free from the "law of sin and death,"
free to live in the liberty of the Spirit. The stay of execution
has come: the pardon has been granted. Never again can we tried
for the same crimes: never again must we live under the burden
of condemnation.
Application
a) Have I ever lived under the burden of condemnation from myself
or others? Why?
b) How can Romans 8:1-2 help me live in freedom of such condemnation?
4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland
Gen 13:2,5-6,14-17
2 (Ge 24:35; Ps 112:1–3) Abram was very wealthy in livestock,
in silver and in gold.
5 Now Lot, who went with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents.
6 (Ge 36:6–7) But the land was not able to support them
both dwelling together because their possessions were so great.
14 (Ge 28:14; Dt 3:27) After Lot had departed from him,
the Lord said to Abram,
"Lift up now your eyes, and look from the place where you are,
northward and southward and eastward and westward.
15 (Ge 12:7; 2Ch 20:7) All the land that you see I will give to you
and to your descendants forever.
16 (Ge 28:14; Nu 23:10) I will make your descendants like the dust
of the earth, so that if a man could number the dust of the earth,
then your descendants could also be numbered.
17 Arise, and walk throughout the land across its length
and its width, for I will give it to you."
5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:
God's Generous Provision
Ps 145:13b-21
13 Your dominion endures throughout all generations.
14 The Lord upholds all who fall,
and raises up all who are bowed down.
15 The eyes of all wait upon You,
and You give them their food in due season.
16 You open Your hand
and satisfy the desire of every living thing.
17 The Lord is righteous in all His ways
and loving in all His works.
18 The Lord is near to all those who call upon Him,
to all who call upon Him in truth.
19 He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him;
He also will hear their cry and will save them.
20 The Lord preserves all those who love Him,
but all the wicked He will destroy.
21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord,
and let all people bless His holy name
forever and ever.
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?)
Quebec
Quick facts on Muslims in Quebec
Quebec 2015 population 8214 000
est Muslim Population 418946
CNMM Networks: Montreal
There is a growing Muslim population in Quebec City and a smattering
os Muslims scattered aound the rest of the province, yet the vast majority
of Muslims live in the greater Montreal area. n fact, 23% of Canada's Muslim
population live in Quebec. Why is that? It is largely because Francophone
African Muslims are atrracted to La Belle Provence.
And here's an interesting, perhaps even shocking fact: There are more
Muslims in Montreal than there are evangelical Christians.
This is one demographic factor creates a challenging environment for churches
and believers here: The size of the available 'workforce' is small
by comparison to begin with. Believers are already is a host culture that
is often either indifferent to releigion or resistant to it. And now
this 'new' religious community of Muslims - many of whom do not visibly
or socially conform to Quebec society - are a growing population. It might br
easy for Christians to feel overwhlem by this cultural double-whammy,
yet God has alsways worked miracles through the small, the few.
Agree in prayer for :
- Te people of Quebec, Muslim or otherwise, to be open to the Gospel
- for Muslims who are encountering believers and responding
-for a new group of Muslim background believers who are meeting
together for worship!
- For pastors and believers to be full of passion, faith and vision for
reaching Muslims in Quebec.

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, ...) .

1 Kings 8
The Ark Brought to the Temple
2Ch 5:2-6:11
1 (2Ch 5:2-10; 2Sa 6:12-17) Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel
and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children
of Israel, before King Solomon in Jerusalem, so that they could ensure
that the ark of the covenant of the Lord would be brought
out of the City of David in Zion.
2 (Lev 23:34; 2Ch 7:8-10) All the men of Israel assembled themselves
before King Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim,
which is the seventh month.
3 (Dt 31:9; Jos 3:6) All the elders of Israel came,
and the priests carried the ark.
4 (1Ki 3:4; 2Ch 1:3) The priests and Levites brought up the ark of the Lord,
the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy implements that were
in the tabernacle.
5 (2Sa 6:13) King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel who were
assembled before him stood together in front of the ark,
sacrificing so many sheep and oxen
that they could not be told or numbered.
6 (2Sa 6:17; 1Ki 6:19) The priests brought in the ark of the covenant
of the Lord to its place in the inner sanctuary of the house,
to the Most Holy Place under the wings of the cherubim.
7 For the cherubim spread forth their two wings over the place
of the ark and covered the ark and the poles from above.
8 (Ex 25:13-15; 37:4-5) The poles were so long that the ends of the poles
could be seen out in the holy place in front of the inner sanctuary,
but they could not be seen from outside, and they are there to this day.
9 (Ex 25:21; 40:20; Heb 9:4) There was nothing in the ark except
for the two tablets of stone that Moses put there at Horeb
when the Lord made a covenant with the children of Israel
after they had come out of the land of Egypt.
10 (Ex 40:34-35; 2Ch 7:1-2) And when the priests came out of the holy place,
the cloud filled the house of the Lord,
11 so that the priests could not continue to minister because of the cloud,
for the glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord.
12 (Ps 97:2; Lev 16:2) Then Solomon spoke, saying,
"The Lord said that He would dwell in the thick darkness.
13 (2Sa 7:13; Ex 15:17) I have surely built You a house to dwell in,
a settled place for You to abide in forever."
14 (2Sa 6:18) Then the king turned around and blessed all the congregation
of Israel (and all the congregation of Israel stood),
15 (Lk 1:68; 1Ch 29:10) and he said,
"Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who spoke with His mouth to my father
David and has with His hand fulfilled His word, saying,
16 (1Sa 16:1; Dt 12:11) 'Since the day that I brought forth My people Israel
out of Egypt, I chose no city from any tribe of Israel to build a house
where My name might be praised, but I chose David to be over
My people Israel.'
17 (2Sa 7:2-3) "My father David had it in mind to build a house for the name
of the Lord God of Israel.
18 The Lord said to my father David, 'Whereas it was in your heart to build
a house for My name, you had good intentions.
19 (2Sa 7:5; 7:12-13) Nevertheless, you shall not build the house,
but your son who will come out of your loins,
he shall build the house for My name.'
20 (1Ch 28:5-6) “The Lord has fulfilled His word that He spoke,
and I have been elevated to the position of my father David,
to sit on the throne of Israel as the Lord promised, and have built a house
for the name of the Lord God of Israel.
21 (Dt 31:26; 1Ki 8:9) I have set a place there for the ark, which houses
the covenant of the Lord which He made with our fathers
when He brought them out of the land of Egypt."
Solomon's Prayer of Dedication
2Ch 6:12-40
22 (Ezr 9:5; Ex 9:33) Then Solomon stood in front of the altar of the Lord
in the presence of all the congregation of Israel and spread his hands
toward heaven.
23 (Dt 7:9; 2Sa 7:22) and he said,
"Lord God of Israel, there is no God like You in heaven above
or on earth below who keeps covenant and mercy with Your servants
who walk before You with all their hearts,
24 (1Ki 8:15) who have kept what You promised Your servant David my father.
You spoke also with Your mouth and have fulfilled it with Your hand,
as it is this day.
25 (1Ki 2:4) "Therefore, Lord God of Israel, now keep what You promised
Your servant David my father, saying, 'You will not fail to have a man sit
before Me on the throne of Israel, so long as your sons take heed
to their way, that they walk before Me as you have walked before Me.'
26 Now, O God of Israel, let Your word, I pray, be fulfilled,
which You spoke to Your servant David my father.
27 (Jer 23:24; 2Ch 2:6; Isa 66:1) "But will God indeed dwell on the earth?
See, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain You.
How much less can this house that I have built?
28 Yet give consideration to the prayer of Your servant
and to his supplication, O Lord my God; listen to the cry
and to the prayer which Your servant prays before You today,
29 (Dt 12:11; Ne 1:6) that Your eyes may be upon this house night
and day, even toward the place of which You have said,
'My name shall be there,' that You may listen to the prayer
which Your servant shall make toward this place.
30 (1Ki 8:34; 8:36) Please listen to the supplication of Your servant
and of Your people Israel when they pray toward this place.
May You hear in heaven, Your dwelling place,
and when You hear, forgive.
31 (Ex 22:8-11) "If any man sins against his neighbor, and an oath
be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and the oath comes
before Your altar in this house,
32 (Dt 25:1) then may You hear in heaven and act and judge
Your servants, condemning the wicked, bringing his way
on his own head, and justifying the righteous,
giving him according to his righteousness.
33 (Lev 26:17; Dt 28:25) "When Your people Israel are defeated
by their enemies, because they have sinned against You,
and they turn back to You and call upon Your name and pray
and make supplication to You in this house,
34 then may You hear in heaven and forgive the sin of Your people
Israel and bring them again to the land which You gave to their fathers.
35 (Lev 26:19; Dt 11:17) "When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain,
because they have sinned against You, if they pray toward this place
and call upon Your name and turn from their sin when You afflict them,
36 (1Sa 12:23; Ps 27:11) then may You hear in heaven
and forgive the sin of Your servants and Your people Israel,
that You may teach them the good way in which they should walk
and give rain upon Your land which You have given
to Your people as an inheritance.
37 (Lev 26:16; Dt 28:21-22) "When there is famine in the land,
if there is plague, blight, mildew, locust, or grasshopper;
if their enemy besieges them in the land of their cities;
whatever plague, whatever sickness there is;
38 whatever prayer, whatever supplication is made by anyone,
or by all Your people Israel, each knowing the affliction of his own heart,
and spreading his hands toward this house;
39 (1Sa 16:7; 1Ch 28:9) then hear in heaven Your dwelling place, and forgive,
and act, and render to everyone according to all his ways, whose hearts
You know-for only You know the hearts of the sons of men=
40 (Ps 130:4) so that they may fear You all the days that they live
in the land that You gave to our fathers.
41 (1Ki 10:1–2) "Also concerning the foreigner who is not of Your people Israel
and comes from a far country for Your name's sake
42 (Dt 3:24) (for they will hear of Your great name and of Your strong hand
and of Your outstretched arm), when he comes and prays toward this house,
43 (1Sa 17:46; Ps 102:15) may You hear in heaven, Your dwelling place,
and do all that the foreigner asks of You, so all people of the earth
will know Your name, to fear You as Your people Israel do,
and that they may know that this house, which I have built,
is called by Your name.
44 "If Your people go out to battle against their enemy
wherever You send them, and they pray to the Lord toward
the city which You have chosen and toward the house that
I have built for Your name,
45 then may You hear their prayer and supplication in heaven
and maintain their cause.
46 (Ecc 7:20; Pr 20:9; Lev 26:34-39) "If they sin against You
(for there is no man who does not sin),
and You get angry with them and hand them over to the enemy
so that they are carried away as captives to the land of the enemy,
ar or near,
47 (Ps 106:6; Ezr 9:6-7) yet when they come to their senses
while in the land where they were carried captives and repent
and make supplication to You, saying,
'We have sinned and have acted perversely and have committed wickedness,'
48 (Da 6:10; Dt 4:29) and so return to You with all their hearts
and with all their souls in the land of their enemies, who carried them away
as captives, and pray to You toward their land,which You gave
to their fathers, the city which You have chosen and the house
which I have built for Your name,
49 then may You hear their prayers and supplications in heaven,
Your dwelling place, and maintain their cause,
50 (Ps 106:46; 2Ch 30:9) and forgive Your people who have sinned against
You and all their transgressions which they committed against You
and grant them compassion before those who carried them away as captives,
so they will have compassion on them.
51 (Dt 4:20; Jer 11:4) For they are Your people and Your inheritance
whom You brought forth out of Egypt from the midst of the furnace of iron.
52 (1Ki 8:29) "Let Your eyes be open to the supplication of Your servant
and to the supplication of Your people Israel, to listen to them regarding
all for which they call upon You.
53 (Ex 19:5-6; Dt 32:9) For You did call them out from among all the people
of the earth to be Your inheritance, as You spoke by the hand of Moses
Your servant when You brought our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord God."
54 (Lk 22:45) Now when Solomon finished praying this prayer
and making supplication to the Lord, he arose from before the altar
of the Lord, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to heaven.
55 (1Ki 8:14; 2Sa 6:18) He stood up and blessed all the congregation
of Israel with a loud voice, saying,
56 (Dt 12:10; Jos 23:14-15) "Blessed be the Lord who has given rest
to His people Israel according to all that He promised.
Not one word of His promises which He gave by the hand of Moses
His servant has failed.
57 (Dt 31:6; Jos 1:5) The Lord our God be with us, as He was with
our fathers. Let Him neither leave us nor forsake us,
58 (Ps 119:36; Jer 31:33) that He may incline our hearts to Him,
to walk in all His ways and to keep His commandments, statutes,
and judgments, which He commanded our fathers.
59 And let these my words, with which I have made supplication
before the Lord, be close to the Lord our God day and night,
that He will maintain the cause of His servant and the cause of His people
Israel at all times as the situation demands,
60 (Dt 4:35; 1Ki 18:39) so that all the people of the earth may know
that the Lord is God and that there is none else.
61 (1Ki 11:4; 2Ki 20:3) Let your hearts, therefore, be perfect
with the Lord our God, to walk in His statutes
and keep His commandments, as at this day."
The Dedication of the Temple
2Ch 7:1-10
62 (2Sa 6:17-19) The king and all Israel with him offered sacrifices
before the Lord.
63 (Ezr 6:16-17; Ne 12:27) Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace offerings,
which he offered to the Lord,2 2 000 oxen and 120000 sheep.
So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of the Lord.
64 (2Ch 4:1) The same day the king consecrated the middle of the court
that was in front of the house of the Lord, for there he offered
burnt offerings and meat offerings and the fat of the peace offerings,
because the bronze altar that was before the Lord was too little to receive
the burnt offerings and meat offerings and the fat of the peace offerings.
65 (Nu 34:5; 34:8; 1Ki 8:2) At that time, Solomon held a feast
for all Israel, a great congregation, from the entry of Lebo Hamath
to the Brook of Egypt, before the Lord our God, seven days
and another seven days, a total of fourteen days.
66 On the eighth day he sent the people away, and they blessed the king
and went to their tents rejoicing in their hearts for all the goodness
that the Lord had done for David His servant and for Israel His people.
2 Chronicles 5
1 (1Ki 7:51) Thus all the work that Solomon did for the house of the Lord
was finished. And Solomon brought in the things that David his father
had dedicated: the silver and the gold and all the furnishings
in the treasury of the house of God.
The Ark Brought to the Temple
1Ki 8:1-21
2 (2Sa 6:12; 2Ch 1:4) Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel
and all the heads of the tribes and the leaders of the houses of the fathers
among the sons of Israel to bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord
from the City of David, which is Zion.
3 (1Ki 8:2; 2Ch 7:8-10) And all the men of Israel were assembled
before the king at the feast, which is the seventh month.
Tishri or Ethanim in the Hebrew calendar.
4 (Jos 3:6; 1Ki 8:3) All the elders of Israel came, and the Levites
carried the ark.
5Then they brought up the ark, and the tent of meeting,
and all the holy vessels that were in the tent.
So the Levitical priests brought them up.
6 And King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel,
who were assembled with him before the ark,
were sacrificing so many sheep and oxen
that they could not be counted or numbered.
7 The priests brought the ark of the covenant of the Lord to its place-
to the inner sanctuary of the temple, into the Most Holy Place,
under the wings of the cherubim.
8 Then the cherubim wings were spread out over the place of the ark
so that the cherubim covered the ark and its poles.
9 (1Ki 8:8-9) The poles were extended so that the ends of the poles
of the ark were seen in front of the Most Holy Place,
but they were not seen outside; and they are still there to this day.
10 (Heb 9:4; Dt 10:2-5) In the ark there was nothing except the two tablets
that Moses had given at Mount Horeb where the Lord made a covenant
with the sons of Israel when they went out from Egypt.
11 When the priests came out from the Most Holy Place-for all the priests who
were present had consecrated themselves, without keeping separate divisions-
12 (1Ch 15:24; 6:33) and all the Levitical singers, Asaph, Heman,
and Jeduthun, with their sons and relatives, all clothed in fine linen,
with cymbals, harps, and lyres, stood to the east of the altar,
and with them one hundred and twenty priests
who were sounding with trumpets,
13 (2Ch 7:3; Ezr 3:11) it happened, when the trumpet players and singers
made one sound to praise and give thanks to the Lord,
and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals
and all the instruments of music and praised the Lord saying,
"For He is good
and His mercy endures forever,"
that the house, the house of the Lord, was filled with a cloud.
14 (Ex 40:35; 2Ch 7:2) And the priests were not able to stand in order
to serve because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord had filled
the house of God.

entitled He Knows Your Name
Isaiah 43:1-7
Isaiah 43
The Redeemer of Israel
1 (Isa 43:7; 44:2) But now, thus says the Lord
who created you, O Jacob,
and He who formed you, O Israel:
Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by your name; you are Mine.
2 (Ps 66:12; Da 3:25-27) When you pass through waters,
I will be with you.
And through the rivers,
they shall not overflow you.
When you walk through the fire,
you shall not be burned,
nor shall the flame kindle on you.
3 (Ex 20:2; Pr 21:18) For I am the Lord your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior;
I gave Egypt for your ransom,
Ethiopia and Seba in your place.
4 (Ex 19:5-6) Since you were precious in My sight,
you have been honorable,
and I have loved you;
therefore, I will give men for you,
and people for your life.
5 (Isa 49:12; 44:2) Do not fear, for I am with you;
I will bring your descendants from the east,
and gather you from the west;
6 I will say to the north, "Give them up,"
and to the south, "Do not keep them back.
Bring My sons from afar,
and My daughters from the ends of the earth,
7 (Ps 100:3; Isa 43:1) even everyone who is called by My name,
for I have created him for My glory;
I have formed him, and I have made him.â€
After breaking with our logtime church, my husband and I reunited with
the fellowship after 3 long years. But how would people treat us?
Would they welcome us back? Love us? Forgive us for leaving? We got
our answer on a sunny Sunday Morning. As we welked through
the big church doors, we kept hearing our names. #Pat! Dan! It's so great to
see you!" As children's author Kate DiCamillo wrote in one of her popular
books, "Reader, nothing is sweeter in this sad world than the sound of
someone you love calling your name."
The same assurance was true for the people of Israel. We had chosen
a different church for a time, but they had turned their backs on God.
Yet He welcomed them back. He sent the prophet Isaiah to asure them
"Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name;
you are mine" (Is 43:1).
In this world-where we can feel unseen, unappreciated, and even unknown-
be assured that God knows each of us by names. "You are precious
in My sight," He promises (v.4)
"When you pass through waters,
I will be with you.
And through the rivers,
they shall not overflow you.
When you walk through the fire,
you shall not be burned,
nor shall the flame kindle on you." (v.2) The promis isn't just for Israel.
Jesus ransomed His life for us. He knows our namaes. Why? In love , we are His.
by Patricia Rayborn.
Why does Go welcome His people back to Him?
How has He shown that He knows you by name?
Prayer
Jesus, when I stray from Your arms and Your fellowship,
summon me home by name. I'm so grateful to be Yours.

Week 2 - Saved by Grace - Day 7 - Oh, Freedom!
Rom 8:1-2
Life in the Spirit
1 (1Co 1:30; 2Co 5:17) There is therefore now no condemnation
for those who are in Christ Jesus,
who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
2 (1Co 15:45; Ro 6:18; Jn 8:32) For the law of the Spirit of life
in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death.
In the classic movie, I want to live! actress Susan Hayward
plays a woman convicted of murder and sentenced to be executed.
The suspence builds; the execution is delayed as the officials
wait for a word of pardon. Finally, the woman in executed;
the call comes, and the pardon has been granted, but it is too late.
When no pardon is granted, condemnation leads to death. Our sin
marks us as "guilty" before God, and we deserve the wages of sin,
which is death. But in Jesus Chirst, the pardon does come - and
it comes in time. Our sin deserves condemation by God, and yet
he forgives us because Christ paid the penalty for us,
But we face other kinds of condemnation as well - self-condemnation,
that internal accusation that we still, somehow, must pay the price
of our own sin. Others often condemn us as well, offering much less
forgiveness and mercy than God does. And the Enemy of our souls condemns
us, trying to convince us that we don't, after all, have real freedom
from sin.
Yet Paul tells us in Romans 8, "There is therefore now no condemnation
for those who are in Christ Jesus". God has forgiven us freely; he has
granted his pardon. And in light of his forgiveness, how can we live
under the condemnation of others - or even of ourselves?
We are free, Paul says - free from the "law of sin and death,"
free to live in the liberty of the Spirit. The stay of execution
has come: the pardon has been granted. Never again can we tried
for the same crimes: never again must we live under the burden
of condemnation.
Application
a) Have I ever lived under the burden of condemnation from myself
or others? Why?
b) How can Romans 8:1-2 help me live in freedom of such condemnation?
4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland
Gen 13:2,5-6,14-17
2 (Ge 24:35; Ps 112:1–3) Abram was very wealthy in livestock,
in silver and in gold.
5 Now Lot, who went with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents.
6 (Ge 36:6–7) But the land was not able to support them
both dwelling together because their possessions were so great.
14 (Ge 28:14; Dt 3:27) After Lot had departed from him,
the Lord said to Abram,
"Lift up now your eyes, and look from the place where you are,
northward and southward and eastward and westward.
15 (Ge 12:7; 2Ch 20:7) All the land that you see I will give to you
and to your descendants forever.
16 (Ge 28:14; Nu 23:10) I will make your descendants like the dust
of the earth, so that if a man could number the dust of the earth,
then your descendants could also be numbered.
17 Arise, and walk throughout the land across its length
and its width, for I will give it to you."
5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:
God's Generous Provision
Ps 145:13b-21
13 Your dominion endures throughout all generations.
14 The Lord upholds all who fall,
and raises up all who are bowed down.
15 The eyes of all wait upon You,
and You give them their food in due season.
16 You open Your hand
and satisfy the desire of every living thing.
17 The Lord is righteous in all His ways
and loving in all His works.
18 The Lord is near to all those who call upon Him,
to all who call upon Him in truth.
19 He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him;
He also will hear their cry and will save them.
20 The Lord preserves all those who love Him,
but all the wicked He will destroy.
21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord,
and let all people bless His holy name
forever and ever.
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?)
Quebec
Quick facts on Muslims in Quebec
Quebec 2015 population 8214 000
est Muslim Population 418946
CNMM Networks: Montreal
There is a growing Muslim population in Quebec City and a smattering
os Muslims scattered aound the rest of the province, yet the vast majority
of Muslims live in the greater Montreal area. n fact, 23% of Canada's Muslim
population live in Quebec. Why is that? It is largely because Francophone
African Muslims are atrracted to La Belle Provence.
And here's an interesting, perhaps even shocking fact: There are more
Muslims in Montreal than there are evangelical Christians.
This is one demographic factor creates a challenging environment for churches
and believers here: The size of the available 'workforce' is small
by comparison to begin with. Believers are already is a host culture that
is often either indifferent to releigion or resistant to it. And now
this 'new' religious community of Muslims - many of whom do not visibly
or socially conform to Quebec society - are a growing population. It might br
easy for Christians to feel overwhlem by this cultural double-whammy,
yet God has alsways worked miracles through the small, the few.
Agree in prayer for :
- Te people of Quebec, Muslim or otherwise, to be open to the Gospel
- for Muslims who are encountering believers and responding
-for a new group of Muslim background believers who are meeting
together for worship!
- For pastors and believers to be full of passion, faith and vision for
reaching Muslims in Quebec.

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, ...) .
