Day 220, 8 August 2021



Today at https://www.calvarycommunity.ca/ We spoke on Psalms 91



1 Sam 17:11 When Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine,

they were filled with terror and were greatly afraid.



1 Timothy 1:7 (1Ti 6:4) desiring to be teachers of the law,

and understanding neither what they say nor what they affirm.



Matthew 6:6 (2Ki 4:33; Isa 26:20) But you, when you pray, enter your closet,

and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret.

And your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.



1 Samuel 30:6 (Ex 17:4; Nu 14:10) David was greatly distressed,

for the people talked of stoning him, because all the people were

bitter in spirit, each over his sons and daughters.

But David encouraged himself in the Lord his God.



Jer 5:26 (Pr 1:11; Jer 18:22 ) For among My people are found wicked men.

They lie in wait, as he who sets snares; they set a trap, they catch men.



Luke 8:43-44



43 And a woman having a hemorrhage for twelve years,

who had spent all her living on physicians,

but could not be healed by anyone,

44 (Dt 22:12) came behind Him, and touched the fringe

of His garment. And immediately her hemorrhage dried up.



Psalms 57:1



Be gracious to me, O God, be gracious tome!

For my soul seeks refuge in You;



Eph 6:16 and above all, taking the shield of faith,

with which you will be able to extinguish

all the fiery arrows of the evil one.



Luke 13:16 (Lk 19:9; 3:8) "Then should not this woman,

being a daughter of Abraham whom Satan has bound

these eighteen years, be loosed from this bondage on the Sabbath?"



John 16:33 (Jn 14:27; 1Jn 4:4; Jn 14:1) "I have told you these things

so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have

tribulation. But be of good cheer. I have overcome the world."



Psalm 34:77 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) The angel of the Lord camps

around those who fear Him,

and delivers them.



Psalms 91

1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High

shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2 )I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress,

my God in whom I trust."

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the hunter

and from the deadly pestilence.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) He shall cover you with His feathers,

and under His wings you shall find protection;

His faithfulness shall be your shield and wall.

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,

nor of the arrow that flies by day;

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) nor of the pestilence that pursues in darkness,

nor of the destruction that strikes at noonday.

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3 )A thousand may fall at your side

and ten thousand at your right hand,

but it shall not come near you.

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) Only with your eyes shall you behold

and see the reward of the wicked.

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge,

even the Most High, your dwelling,

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) there shall be no evil befall you,

neither shall any plague come near your tent;

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) for He shall give His angels charge over you

to guard you in all your ways.

12 They shall bear you up in their hands,

lest you strike your foot against a stone.

13 You shall tread upon the lion and adder;

the young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.

14 Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;

I will set him on high, because he has known My name.

15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;

I will be with him in trouble,

and I will deliver him and honor him.

16 With long life I will satisfy him

and show him My salvation.







Jeremiah 7-9



Jeremiah 7



False Trust in the Temple



1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying:

2 (Jer 26:2) Stand in the gate of the house of the Lord

and proclaim there this word:

Hear the word of the Lord, all you of Judah,

who enter at these gates to worship the Lord.

3 (Jer 18:11; 26:13) Thus says the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel:

Amend your ways and your deeds, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.

4 (Mic 3:11) Do not trust in lying words, saying,

"The temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord."

5 (Isa 1:19; Jer 4:1-2) For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your deeds,

if you thoroughly execute justice between a man and his neighbor,

6 (Dt 8:19; Jer 2:34) if you do not oppress the stranger, the fatherless,

and the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place,

or walk after other gods to your harm,

7 (Dt 4:40; Jer 3:18) then I will cause you to dwell in this place,

in the land that I gave to your fathers, forever and ever.

8 (Jer 7:4) Indeed, you trust in lying words that cannot profit.

9 (Ex 20:3; Jer 7:6) Shall you steal, murder, and commit adultery,

and swear falsely, and burn incense to Baal,

and walk after other gods whom you do not know,

10 (Jer 32:34; Eze 23:39) and come and stand before Me in this house,

which is called by My name, and say, "We are delivered," so that you may

do all these abominations?

11 (Isa 56:7; Mt 21:13) Has this house, which is called by My name,

become a den of robbers in your eyes?

Certainly, even I have seen it, says the Lord.

12 (1Sa 4:10-11; Jos 18:1) But go now to My place which was in Shiloh,

where I set My name at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness

of My people Israel.

13 (Isa 65:12; Pr 1:24) And now, because you have done all these works,

says the Lord, and I spoke to you, rising up early and speaking,

but you did not hear, and I called you, but you did not answer,

14 (Jer 7:4; 7:10) therefore I will do to this house, which is called by

My name, in which you trust, and to the place which I gave to you

and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.

15 (2Ki 17:23; Jer 15:1) I will cast you out of My sight as I have cast out

all your brothers, even the whole seed of Ephraim.

16 (Ex 32:10; Jer 11:14) As for you, do not pray for this people,

nor lift up a cry nor prayer for them, nor make intercession to Me,

for I will not hear you.

17 Do you not see what they do in the cities of Judah

and in the streets of Jerusalem?

18 (Jer 19:13; 1Ki 14:9) The children gather wood, and the fathers

kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes

to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to other gods,

that they may provoke Me to anger.

19 (1Co 10:22) Do they provoke Me to anger? says the Lord. Do they not

provoke themselves to the shame of their own faces?

20 (Jer 42:18; La 2:3-5) Therefore thus says the Lord God: My anger

and My fury will be poured out upon this place, upon man and upon beast,

and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground;

and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched.

21 (Jer 6:20; Hos 8:13) Thus says the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel:

Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices and eat flesh.

22 (Hos 6:6; 1Sa 15:22) For I spoke not to your fathers, nor commanded them

in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning

burnt offerings or sacrifices.

23 (Ex 15:26; Dt 5:33) But this thing I commanded them, saying,

"Obey My voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be My people.

And walk in all the ways that I have commanded you,

that it may be well with you."

24 (Ps 81:11-12; Jer 7:26) But they did not listen, nor incline their ear,

but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart,

and went backward and not forward.

25 (2Ch 36:15; Jer 25:4) Since the day that your fathers came

out of the land of Egypt to this day, I have even sent to you all

My servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them.

26 (Jer 16:12; 2Ch 30:8) Yet they did not listen to Me, nor incline their ear,

but hardened their neck. They did worse than their fathers.

27 (Isa 50:2; 65:12) Therefore you will speak all these words to them.

But they will not listen to you. You will also call to them,

but they will not answer you.

28 (Isa 59:14-15) You shall say to them: This is a nation that does not obey

the voice of the Lord their God, nor receive correction. Truth has perished,

and has been cut off from their mouth.

29 (Job 1:20; Jer 6:30) Cut off your hair, O Jerusalem, and cast it away,

and take up a lamentation on high places; for the Lord has rejected

and forsaken the generation of His wrath.

30 (Jer 32:34; Eze 7:20) For the sons of Judah have done evil in My sight,

says the Lord. They have set their abominations in the house which i

s called by My name, to pollute it.

31 (Dt 17:3; Lev 18:21) They have built the high places of Topheth,

which is in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, to burn their sons a

nd their daughters in the fire, which I did not command them,

nor did it come into My heart.

32 (Jer 19:6; 19:11) Therefore, truly the days are coming, says the Lord,

that it will no more be called Topheth, nor the Valley of Ben Hinnom,

but the Valley of Slaughter; for they will bury in Topheth

because there is no other place.

33 (Dt 28:26; Jer 12:9) The corpses of this people shall be food

for the fowl of the heaven and for the beasts of the earth;

and no one will frighten them away.

34 (Eze 26:13; Rev 18:23) Then I will cause to cease from the cities of Judah

and from the streets of Jerusalem the voice of laughter

and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom

and the voice of the bride; for the land shall become desolate.



Jeremiah 8



1 (Eze 6:5) At that time, says the Lord, they will bring out the bones

of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his officials, and the bones

of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones

of the inhabitants of Jerusalem out of their graves.

2 (2Ki 23:5; Jer 9:22) And they will spread them before the sun

and the moon and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved

and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked

and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped.

They will not be gathered, nor be buried.

They will be as dung upon the face of the earth.

3 (Rev 9:6; Job 7:15-16) Death will be chosen rather than life

by all the rest of those who remain of this evil family,

which remains in all the places wherever I have driven them,

says the Lord of Hosts.



Sin and Judgment



4 (Pr 24:16; Am 5:2) Moreover you shall say to them,

Thus says the Lord:

Do men fall and not arise?

Do they turn away and not repent?

5 (Jer 9:6; 5:3) Why then is this people of Jerusalem

turned away by a perpetual backsliding?

They hold fast to deceit;

they refuse to return.

6 (Ps 14:2; Job 39:19-25) I listened and heard,

but they did not speak what is right.

No man repented of his wickedness,

saying, “What have I done?”

Everyone turned to his course,

as the horse rushes into the battle.

7 (Isa 1:3; SS 2:12; Jer 5:4-5) Indeed, the stork in the sky

knows her appointed times.

And the turtledove and the crane and the swallow

observe the time of their coming.

But My people do not know

the judgment of the Lord.

8 (Job 5:12-13; Ro 1:22) How do you say, "We are wise,

and the law of the Lord is with us"?

Certainly the lying pen of the scribes

has made it into a lie.

9 (Jer 6:15; Isa 19:11) The wise men are ashamed;

they are dismayed and caught.

Indeed, they have rejected the word of the Lord,

and what kind of wisdom do they have?

10 (Jer 6:12-13) Therefore I will give their wives to others,

and their fields to those who shall inherit them.

For everyone from the least even to the greatest

is given to covetousness;

from the prophet even to the priest

everyone deals falsely.

11 (Jer 6:14; La 2:14) For they have healed the brokenness

of the daughter of My people superficially,

saying, "Peace, peace,"

when there is no peace.

12 (Jer 3:3; Ps 52:7) Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination?

They were not at all ashamed,

nor could they blush.

Therefore they will fall among those who fall;

in the time of their punishment they will be cast down,

says the Lord.

13 (Joel 1:7; Mt 21:19) I will surely consume them,

says the Lord.

There will be no grapes on the vine

nor figs on the fig tree,

and the leaf shall fade;

and the things that I have given them

will pass away from them.

14 (Jer 23:15; 9:15; 35:11) Why do we sit still?

Assemble yourselves,

and let us enter the fortified cities

and let us perish there.

For the Lord our God has doomed us

and given us water of gall to drink,

because we have sinned against the Lord.

15 (Jer 14:19) We looked for peace,

but no good came;

and for a time of health,

but there was trouble!

16 (Jdg 5:22; 18:29) The snorting of his horses

was heard from Dan;

the whole land trembled

at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones.

For they have come and have devoured

the land and all that is in it,

the city, and those who dwell in it.

17 (Dt 32:24; Ps 58:4-5) See, I will send serpents against you,

adders, which will not be charmed,

and they will bite you,

declares the Lord.

Jeremiah Mourns for His People

18 (Isa 22:4; La 1:16-17) My sorrow is beyond healing;

my heart is faint within me.

19 (Isa 39:3; 13:5) Listen! The cry of the daughter of my people

from a far country:

"Is not the Lord in Zion?

Is not her king in her?"

"Why have they provoked Me to anger with their graven images,

with foreign vanities?"

20 "The harvest is past,

the summer is ended,

and we are not saved."

21 (Jer 14:17; Joel 2:6) For the brokenness of the daughter of my people

am I broken; I mourn; dismay has taken hold of me.

22 (Ge 37:25; Jer 46:11) Is there no balm in Gilead?

Is there no physician there?

Why then has not the health

of the daughter of my people recovered?



Jeremiah 9



Failures of Judah



1 (Jer 13:17; Isa 22:4) Oh, that my head were waters

and my eyes a fountain of tears,

that I might weep day and night

for the slain of the daughter of my people!

2 (Jer 5:7-8; 23:10) Oh, that I had in the wilderness

a lodging place of wayfaring men,

that I might leave my people

and go from them!

For they all are adulterers,

an assembly of treacherous men.

3 (Jdg 2:10; Jer 4:22) They bend their tongues like their bow;

lies and not truth prevail upon the land;

for they proceed from evil to evil,

and they do not know Me,

says the Lord.

4 (Jer 6:28; 12:6) Let everyone be on guard against his neighbor,

and do not trust in any brother;

for every brother supplants,

and every neighbor walks about with slanders.

5 (Mic 6:12) Everyone deceives his neighbor

and does not speak the truth.

They have taught their tongue to speak lies;

they weary themselves in committing iniquity.

6 (Job 21:14-15; Pr 1:24 )Your habitation is in the midst of deceit;

through deceit they refuse to know Me,

says the Lord.

7 (Isa 1:25; Jer 6:27) Therefore thus says the Lord of Hosts:

Now, I will refine them and assay them;

for what else shall I do

for the daughter of My people?

8 (Ps 28:3; Jer 9:3 ) Their tongue is a deadly arrow;

it speaks deceit.

One speaks peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth,

but in his heart he lies in wait.

9 (Jer 5:9; 5:29) Shall I not punish them for these things?

says the Lord.

Shall not My soul be avenged

on such a nation as this?

10 (Jer 12:4; Hos 4:3; Jer 7:29) For the mountains I will take up

a weeping and wailing,

and for the habitations of the wilderness a lamentation,

because they are burned up so that no one can pass through them;

nor can men hear the lowing of the cattle.

Both the fowl of the heavens and the beast have fled;

they are gone.

11 (Isa 25:2; 34:13) I will make Jerusalem a heap of ruins

and a den of jackals;

and I will make the cities of Judah desolate,

without an inhabitant.

12 (Ps 107:43; Hos 14:9) Who is the wise man who may understand this?

And who is he to whom the mouth of the Lord has spoken, that he may

declare it? Why is the land ruined and burned up like a wilderness,

so that no one passes through?

13 (2Ch 7:19; Jer 22:9) And the Lord said: Because they have forsaken

My law which I set before them, and have not obeyed My voice,

nor walked in it,

14 (Jer 7:24; 3:17) but have walked after the imagination of their own heart

and after the Baals, which their fathers taught them.

15 (Jer 8:14; Ps 80:5) Therefore thus says the Lord of Hosts,

the God of Israel: I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood

and give them water of gall to drink.

16 (Lev 26:33; Dt 28:64) I will scatter them also among the nations,

whom neither they nor their fathers have known.

And I will send a sword after them until I have consumed them.

17 (2Ch 35:25; Ecc 12:5) Thus says the Lord of Hosts:

Consider and call for the mourning women, that they may come;

and send for wailing women, that they may come.

18 (Jer 14:17; 9:1) And let them make haste

and take up a wailing for us,

that our eyes may run down with tears

and our eyelids gush out with waters.

19 (Jer 4:13; Dt 28:29) For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion,

"How devastated we are!

We are greatly humiliated,

because we have forsaken the land,

because our dwellings have cast us out."

20 (Isa 32:9-13) Yet hear the word of the Lord, O you women,

and let your ear receive the word of His mouth;

and teach your daughters wailing,

and everyone her neighbor a lamentation.

21 (2Ch 36:17; Jer 6:11) "For death has come up into our windows;

and has entered our palaces,

to cut off the children from the streets,

and the young men from the squares."

22 (Jer 8:2; Ps 83:10) Speak, Thus says the Lord:

"The carcasses of men shall fall

as dung upon the open field,

and as the sheaf after the harvester,

and no one shall gather them."

23 (Ecc 9:11; 1Ki 20:10-11) Thus says the Lord:

Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom,

and let not the mighty man glory in his might,

let not the rich man glory in his riches;

24 (Mic 7:18; 1Co 1:31) but let him who glories glory in this,

that he understands and knows Me,

that I am the Lord who exercises lovingkindness,

justice, and righteousness in the earth.

For in these things I delight,

says the Lord.

25 (Ro 2:8-9) The days are surely coming, says the Lord,

that I will punish all who are circumcised and yet uncircumcised-

26 (Lev 26:41; Jer 4:4) Egypt, Judah, Edom, the children of Ammon,

Moab, and all who dwell in the wilderness who clip the hair on their temples;

for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel

are uncircumcised of heart.

entitled Good Trouble



Amos 5:10–24



10 (1Ki 22:8; Isa 29:21) They hate the one who prosecutes at the gate,

and abhor the one who speaks with integrity.

11 (Mic 6:15; Dt 28:30) Therefore, because you trample on the poor

and take from him a levy of wheat,

though you have built houses of hewn stone,

you will not dwell in them;

though you have planted pleasant vineyards,

you will not drink their wine.

12 (Am 2:6-7; 1Sa 8:3 ) For I know your transgressions are many

and your sins are grievous,

you who oppress the just,

who take a bribe and subvert the needy at the gate.

13 (Ecc 3:7; Hos 4:4) Therefore the prudent are silent at such a time,

for it is an evil time.

14 (Mic 3:11) Seek good and not evil,

so that you may live;

then the Lord, the God of Hosts, will truly be with you,

as you claim.

15 (Ps 97:10; Joel 2:14) Hate evil and love good,

and establish justice at the gate.

It may then be that the Lord God of Hosts will be gracious

to the remnant of Joseph.

16 (Joel 1:11; Jer 9:10) Therefore thus says the Lord, the God of Hosts,

the Lord: Wailing will be in all the squares,

and in all the streets they will say, "Alas! Alas!"

They shall call the farmer to mourning,

and to wailing those skilled in lamentation.

17 (Ex 12:12; Isa 16:10) In all vineyards there shall be wailing,

for I will pass through you,

says the Lord.



The Day of the Lord Is Darkness



18 (Joel 1:15; Isa 5:19) Woe to you that desire

the day of the Lord!

Why do you want the day of the Lord?

It is darkness, and not light,

19 (Isa 24:17-18; Jer 15:2-3) as if someone fled away from a lion,

but a bear attacked him,

or got into the house

and rested his hand on the wall,

but a snake bit him.

20 (Isa 13:10) Will not the day of the Lord be darkness, and not light?

Will it not be deep darkness, with no brightness in it?

21 (Lev 26:31; Isa 1:11-16) I hate, I despise your festivals,

and I am not pleased by your solemn assemblies.

22 (Isa 66:3; Mic 6:6-7) Though you offer Me burnt offerings

or your grain offerings,

I will not accept them,

nor will I regard the offerings

of your fattened animals.

23 (Am 6:5; 8:3) Take away from Me the noise of your songs;

I will not listen to the melody of your harps.

24 (Mic 6:8) But let justice roll down like water,

and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.



When John Lewis, an American congressman and civil rights leader,

died in 2020, people from many political persuasions mourned.

In 1965, Lewis marched with Martin Luther King Jr. to secure

voting rights for Black citizens. During the march, Lewis suffered

a cracked skull, causing scars he carried the rest of his life.

"When you see something that is not right, not just, not fair," Lewis said,

"you have a moral obligation to say something. To do something."

He also said, "Never, ever, be afraid to make some noise

and get in good, necessary trouble."



Lewis learned early that doing what was right, to be faithful to the truth,

required making "good" trouble. He would need to speak things that

were unpopular. The prophet Amos knew this too. Seeing Israel's sin

and injustice, he couldn't keep quiet. Amos denounced how the powerful

were oppressing "the innocent and tak[ing] bribes and depriv[ing] the poor

of justice in the courts." while building "stone mansions"

with "lush vineyards" (Amos 5:11-12). Rather than maintaining his own safety

and comfort by staying out of the fray, Amos named the evil.

The prophet made good, necessary trouble.



But this trouble aimed at something good-justice for all.

"Let justice roll on like a river!" Amos exclaimed (v. 24). When we get into

good trouble (the kind of righteous, nonviolent trouble justice requires),

the goal is always goodness and healing.



By: Winn Collier





Reflect & Pray



Where do you sense the Holy Spirit might be prompting you to make some

good trouble? How can you discern the godly way to do just that?



Heavenly Father, if I'm left to myself, I'll likely play it safe,

stay comfortable, keep quiet. But I know that You might ask

something different. Help me discern what to do to honor You.



3) From The Billy Graham Evangelical Ministry Association



Words in Season - Scripture Memory Tools



Week 3 - Saved Now and Forever - Day 1 - Bought Back



Eph 1:7



7 (Ro 3:24; Ac 2:38; 20:28) In Him we have redemption through His blood

and the forgiveness of sins according to the riches of His grace



In the opening scenes of The Glenn Miller Story, Glenn Miller, then a

struggling musician trying to find an audience for his music, enters

a pawn shop. He has hocked his trombone for rent money, and has come

to redeem it. Paying the pawn broker the money, he buys back his own

instrument and leaves the shop, indicating that he will probably

be back again.

In Eph 1:7. Paul says that in Christ "we have redemption through

His blood and the forgiveness of sin according to the riches of His grace."

We belonged to God from the beginning; he made us and stamped

his image upon us. But through sin we were lost, pawned to the

world's system and the Enemy of our souls.

But God redeemed us; he "bought us back" with the most valuable

currency in the universe - the blood of his own Son, Jesus Christ.

He did not resent the bargain, or question whether we were worth

such a price. He freely gave Jesus in trade to ransom the souls

of the people he created and loved.

Sometimes in Christian circles we get so caught up in religious

jargon that we forget what redemption really means. Gog did not have

to "get us out of hock." He was not compelled to buy us back when we

had sold ourselves to sin. But because of his love, and with no

deserving on our part, he chose to pay an enormous price to set us free.

We are redeemed, bought back, by the One who owned us in the first place.



Application



a) In what ways have I been "in hock" to sin in my life?



b) What does it mean, in pratical terms, that God "redeemed" me from that sin?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Gen 26:12-14





12 (Ge 26:3; 24:1) Then Isaac sowed in that land

and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; the Lord blessed him.

13 The man became rich and continued to prosper until he became very wealthy.

14 (Ge 37:11; Ecc 4:4) For he had possessions of flocks and herds

and a great number of servants so that the Philistines envied him.



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



God's Unfailing Love



Ps 36:5-9



5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) Your mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens,

and Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) Your righteousness is like the great mountains,

Your judgments like the great deep;

O Lord, You preserve man and beast.

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) How excellent is Your lovingkindness, O God!

Therefore mankind

seeks refuge in the shadow of Your wings.

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) They will drink their fill from the abundance of Your house,

and You will cause them to drink from the river of Your pleasures.

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) For with You is the fountain of life;

in Your light we see light.



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.

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?)



New Brunswick



Total population 753900

Muslim population (est.) 4543



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

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

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

also has a Muslim studentt association hosting prayer services, fellowship

getherings, and outreaches on campus.

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

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

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

and between 300 to 400 university students.

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

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

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

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

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

been primarily for university students moving into the area.



Pray for Muslims and New Brunswick

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

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

to sharing God's love in JEsus Christ with them



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

areas of concentration



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

and equip believers to lovingly reach Muslims in this province.

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, ...) .
