Jeremiah 14-17



Jeremiah 14



Drought, Famine, and Sword



1 (Jer 17:8) The word of the Lord which came to Jeremiah

concerning the drought:

2 (Isa 3:26; 1Sa 5:12) Judah mourns,

and the gates languish;

they sit on the ground while mourning,

and the cry of Jerusalem has gone up.

3 (2Sa 15:30; 2Ki 18:31) Their nobles have sent their servants for water;

they came to the cisterns and found no water.

They returned with their vessels empty;

they were ashamed and humiliated,

and covered their heads.

4 (Jer 3:3; Joel 1:11) Because the ground is chapped,

for there was no rain in the earth,

the plowmen were ashamed;

they have covered their heads.

5 (Ps 29:9) Indeed, the hind also calved in the field

and abandoned her young

because there was no grass.

6 (Jer 2:24; Job 39:5-6) The wild donkeys stand in the high places;

they pant for air like jackals;

their eyes fail

because there is no grass.

7 (Ps 25:11; Jer 5:6) O Lord, though our iniquities testify against us,

do it for Your name['s sake.

Indeed, our backslidings are many;

we have sinned against You.

8 (Jer 17:13; Ps 9:9) O the Hope of Israel,

its Savior in time of trouble,

why should You be as a stranger in the land,

and as a wayfaring man who turns aside to pitch his tent for a night?

9 (Isa 59:1; 63:19) Why should You be as a man dismayed,

as a mighty man who cannot save?

Yet You, O Lord, are in our midst,

and we are called by Your name.

Do not forsake us!

10 (Hos 8:13; 9:9) Thus says the Lord to this people:

Even so they have loved to wander;

they have not restrained their feet.

Therefore, the Lord does not accept them;

He will now remember their iniquity

and punish their sins.

11 (Jer 7:16; 11:14) Then the Lord said to me: Do not pray for the good

of this people.

12 (Jer 6:20; Pr 1:28) When they fast, I will not hear their cry. And when

they offer a burnt offering and an oblation, I will not accept them.

But I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine,

and by the pestilence.



False Prophets



13 (Jer 6:14; 4:10) Yet I said, "Ah, Lord God! Here the prophets say to them,

'You shall not see the sword nor shall you have famine,

but I will give you assured peace in this place.' "

14 (Jer 27:9–10; 29:8-9) Then the Lord said to me: The prophets prophesy lies

in My name. I have not sent them no- have I commanded them

nor have I spoken to them. They prophesy to you a false vision and divination,

and emptiness, and the deceit of their heart.

15 (Jer 5:12-13; Eze 14:10) Therefore thus says the Lord concerning

the prophets who prophesy in My name though I did not send them,

yet they say, "Sword and famine will not be in this land."

By sword and famine those prophets will be consumed.

16 (Pr 1:31; Jer 7:33) The people to whom they prophesy

will be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine

and the sword. And they will have no one to bury them, not them,

nor their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters.

For I will pour out their wickedness upon them.

17 (Jer 8:21; 9:1) Therefore you will say this word to them:

Let my eyes run down with tears

night and day, and let them not cease;

for the virgin daughter of my people

has been broken with a great blow,

with a very infected wound.

18 (Eze 7:15; Jer 5:31) If I go out into the field,

I see those slain with the sword!

And if I enter the city,

I see those who are sick with famine!

Indeed, both the prophet and the priest

go about into a land that they do not know.



The People Ask for Mercy



19 (Jer 8:15; La 5:22) Have You utterly rejected Judah?

Has Your soul loathed Zion?

Why have You stricken us

so that there is no healing for us?

We looked for peace,

but there was nothing good;

and for the time of healing,

but there is trouble!

20 (Ne 9:2; Ps 32:5) We acknowledge, O Lord, our wickedness

and the iniquity of our fathers,

for we have sinned against You.

21 (Ps 106:45; Jer 14:7) Do not abhor us. For Your name's sake,

do not disgrace Your glorious throne.

Remember and do not break

Your covenant with us.

22 (Dt 32:21; Isa 30:23 ) Are there any among the idols of the nations

that can cause rain?

Or can the heavens give showers?

Is it not You, O Lord our God?

Therefore, we will wait upon You,

for You have done all these things.



Jeremiah 15



The Lord Will Not Relent



1 (1Sa 7:9; Ps 99:6) Then the Lord said to me: Even though Moses

and Samuel were to stand before Me, yet My heart would not be

with this people. Cast them out of My sight and let them go!

2 (Jer 14:12; 43:11) It shall come to pass if they say to you,

"Where should we go?" then you shall tell them: Thus says the Lord:

Those destined for death, to death;

and those destined for the sword, to the sword;

and those destined for the famine, to the famine;

and those destined for the captivity, to the captivity.

3 (Lev 26:16; 26:22) I will appoint over them four kinds of disaster,

says the Lord: the sword to slay, the dogs to tear, the birds

of the heaven, the beasts of the earth to devour and destroy.

4 (Jer 24:9; 29:18) I will cause them to be removed into

all kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah

king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem.

5 (Isa 51:19; Na 3:7) For who shall have pity on you, O Jerusalem?

Or who shall bemoan you?

Or who shall go aside to ask how you are doing?

6 (Jer 7:24; Zep 1:4) You who have forsaken Me, says the Lord,

you keep going backward.

Therefore I will stretch out My hand against you and destroy you.

I am weary of relenting!

7 (Isa 9:13; Jer 18:21) I will winnow them with a winnowing fork

in the gates of the land;

I will bereave them of children. I will destroy My people,

since they did not repent from their ways.

8 (Isa 3:25-4:1 ) Their widows will increase before Me

more than the sand of the seas;

I will bring against them, against the mother of a young man,

a destroyer at noonday;

I will suddenly bring down on her

sorrow and terrors.

9 (1Sa 2:5; Isa 47:9) She who has borne seven sons languishes;

she has given up the spirit;

her sun has gone down while it was yet day;

she has been ashamed and humiliated.

And the rest of them I will deliver to the sword

before their enemies,

says the Lord.



Jeremiah's Sorrow



10 (Ex 22:25; Ps 15:5) Woe is me, my mother, that you have borne me

as a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth!

I have not lent with usury, nor have men lent to me on usury,

yet every one of them curses me!

11 The Lord said:

Truly I will set you free for good purposes.

Truly I will cause the enemy to entreat you

in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.

12 Can anyone break the northern iron

or the bronze?

13 (Ps 44:12; Jer 17:3) Your wealth and your treasures

I will give to the destroyer without price,

and that for all your sins,

even within all your borders.

14 (Dt 32:22; Jer 16:13) I will make you to pass with your enemies

into a land which you do not know;

for a fire is kindled in My anger,

which shall burn upon you.

15 (Jer 12:3; Ps 69:7-9 ) O Lord, You who know, remember me,

and take notice of me,

and take vengeance on my persecutors.

Because of your longsuffering, do not take me away.

Know that for Your sake I have suffered rebuke.

16 (Jer 14:9; Job 23:12 ) Your words were found and I ate them.

And Your word became to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart,

for I am called by Your name,

O Lord God of Hosts.

17 (Ps 1:1; La 3:28 ) I did not sit in the assembly of mockers,

nor did I rejoice;

I sat alone because of Your hand,

for You have filled me with indignation.

18 (Jer 30:15; Job 34:6) Why is my pain perpetual

and my wound incurable, which refuses to be healed?

Shall You be altogether to me as a deceptive stream

and as waters that fail?



The Lord Reassures Jeremiah



19 (Jer 15:1; Zec 3:7) Therefore thus says the Lord:

If you return, then I will bring you back,

and you shall stand before Me;

and if you take out the precious from the worthless,

you will be My spokesman.

Let them return to you,

but do not return to them.

20 (Jer 1:18-19; Ps 46:7) I will make you to this people

a fortified bronze wall;

and they shall fight against you,

but they shall not prevail against you;

for I am with you

to save you and to deliver you,

says the Lord.

21 (Ge 48:16; Ps 37:40) I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked,

and I will redeem you out of the hand of the violent.



Jeremiah 16



The Day of Disaster



1 The word of the Lord came also to me, saying:

2 (1Co 7:26-27) You shall not take a wife, nor shall you have sons

or daughters in this place.

3 For thus says the Lord concerning the sons and concerning the daughters

who are born in this place, and concerning their mothers who bore them,

and concerning their fathers who fathered them in this land:

4 (Jer 25:33; Ps 83:10; Jer 9:22) They will die of deadly diseases.

They will not be lamented, nor shall they be buried. But they will be as dung

upon the face of the ground. And they will be consumed by the sword

and by famine. And their carcasses will be food for the fowl of heaven

and for the beasts of the earth.

5 (Eze 24:16-23; Isa 27:11) For thus says the Lord: Do not enter a house

of mourning, nor go to lament or bemoan them; for I have taken away

My peace from this people, says the Lord, even loving­kindness and mercy.

6 (Lev 19:28; Dt 14:1) Both the great and the small will die in this land.

They will not be buried; neither will men lament for them, cut themselves,

nor make themselves bald for them.

7 (Eze 24:17; Hos 9:4) Neither will men tear themselves for them in mourning,

to comfort them for the dead; nor will men give them the cup of consolation

to drink for their father or for their mother.

8 (Ecc 7:2-4; Jer 15:17) Also you shall not go into the house of feasting,

to sit with them to eat and to drink.

9 (Jer 7:34; Eze 26:13) For thus says the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel:

I will cause to cease out of this place, before your eyes and in your days,

the voice of laughter and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom

and the voice of the bride.

10 (Jer 5:19; 13:22)And when you tell this people all these words,

and they say to you, "Why has the Lord pronounced all this great disaster

against us? Or what is our iniquity? Or what is our sin that we have committed

against the Lord our God?"

11 (Ps 106:35-41; Dt 29:25-26) then you shall say to them:

Because your fathers have forsaken Me, says the Lord,

and have walked after other gods and have served them

and have worshipped them, but have forsaken Me and have not kept My law.

12 (Jer 13:10; 7:26; Ecc 9:3) And you have done worse than your fathers,

for here you are, each one walking after the imaginations of his evil heart

so that they do not listen to Me.

13 (Dt 28:36; Jer 17:4; Dt 4:26-28) Therefore I will cast you out of this land

into a land that you do not know, neither you nor your fathers;

and there you will serve other gods day and night because

I will not show you favour.



God Will Restore Israel



14 (Dt 15:15; Jer 23:7-8) Therefore, surely the days are coming,

says the Lord, that it will no longer be said, "As the Lord lives,

who brought up the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt,"

15 (Jer 24:6; 3:18) but, "As the Lord lives, who brought up the sons

of Israel from the land of the north and from all the lands wherever

He had driven them." And I will bring them again into their land that

I gave to their fathers.

16 (Am 4:2; 1Sa 26:20) Now, I will send for many fishermen, says the Lord,

and they shall fish for them; andafterwards I will send for many hunters,

and they will hunt them from every mountainand from every hill

and out of the holes of the rocks.

17 (Pr 15:3; 2Ch 16:9) For My eyes are upon all their ways; they are not

hidden from My face, nor is their iniquity hidden from My eyes.

18 (Isa 40:2; Jer 2:7) First I will doubly recompense their iniquity

and their sin, because they have defiled My land; they have filled

My inheritance with the carcasses of their detestable and abominable things.

19 (Isa 25:4; Ps 18:1-2) O Lord, my strength and my fortress,

and my refuge in the day of affliction,

the nations will come to You

from the remote parts of the earth, and will say:

Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity,

and things in which there is no profit.

20 (Isa 37:19; Ps 115:4-8) Shall a man make gods for himself,

which are not gods?

21 (Jer 33:2; Ps 9:16) "Therefore, surely I will this once cause them to know,

I will cause them to know

My hand and My might;

and they shall know

that My name is the Lord."



Jeremiah 17



Judah's Sin and Punishment



1 (Pr 3:3; 2Co 3:3) The sin of Judah is written with an iron pen

and with a diamond point;

it is engraved on the tablet of their heart

and on the horns of their altars;

2 (2Ch 24:18; Jer 2:20) as they remember their children,

so they remember their altars

and their groves by the green trees

on the high hills.

3 (Jer 15:13; 2Ki 24:13) O My mountain in the field,

I will give your wealth

and all your treasures to the destroyer,

and your high places

for sin throughout all your borders.

4 (Jer 15:14; 7:20; 16:13) You, even yourself, will discontinue

from your heritage that I gave you;

and I will cause you to serve your enemies

in the land which you do not know;

for you have kindled a fire in My anger

which will burn forever.

5 (2Ch 32:8; Isa 2:22) Thus says the Lord:

Cursed is the man who trusts in man

and makes flesh his strength,

and whose heart departs from the Lord.

6 (Dt 29:23; Jer 48:6) For he will be like a bush in the desert

and will not see when good comes,

but will inhabit the parched places in the wilderness,

in a salt land and not inhabited.

7 (Ps 34:8; 2:12) Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,

and whose hope is the Lord.

8 (Ps 1:3; Eze 47:12) For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters,

and that spreads out its roots by the river,

and shall not fear when heat comes,

but its leaf shall be green,

and it shall not be anxious in the year of drought,

neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

9 (Ecc 9:3; Mk 7:21-22) The heart is more deceitful than all things

and desperately wicked;

who can understand it?

10 (Jer 32:19; 1Sa 16:7; Ps 62:12) I, the Lord, search the heart,

I test the mind,

even to give to every man according to his ways,

and according to the fruit of his deeds.

11 (Lk 12:20; Ps 55:23) As the partridge sits on eggs which it has not laid,

so is he who gets riches, but not justly;

it will forsake him in the midst of his days,

and in the end he will be a fool.

12 (Jer 3:17; 14:21) A glorious high throne from the beginning

is the place of our sanctuary.

13 (Isa 1:28; Jer 14:8 ) O Lord, the Hope of Israel,

all who forsake You will be ashamed.

"Those who depart from Me in the earth will be written down,

because they have forsaken the Lord,

the fountain of living waters."



Jeremiah Prays for Deliverance



14 (Dt 10:21; Ps 109:1) Heal me, O Lord, and I will be healed;

save me, and I will be saved,

for You are my praise.

15 (Isa 5:19) See how they say to me,

"Where is the word of the Lord?

Let it come now!"

16 As for me, I have not hurried away from being a shepherd after You,

nor have I desired the woeful day;

You Yourself know that which came out of my lips was in Your presence.

17 (Jer 16:19; Na 1:7) Do not be a terror to me;

You are my hope in the day of disaster.

18 (Ps 35:4; 35:8) Let those who persecute me be humiliated,

but let me not be humiliated;

let them be dismayed,

but let me not be dismayed.

Bring upon them the day of evil,

and destroy them with double destruction.



Keep the Sabbath Day Holy



19 (Jer 7:2; 26:2) Thus the Lord said to me: Go and stand in the gate

of the sons of the people whereby the kings of Judah come in

and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem.

20 (Jer 19:3; Ps 49:1-2) And say to them: Hear the word of the Lord,

kings of Judah, and all Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem

who enter by these gates.

21 (Nu 15:32-36; Ne 13:15-21) Thus says the Lord: Take heed to yourselves,

and do not bear any load on the Sabbath day nor bring anything in

by the gates of Jerusalem.

22 (Eze 20:12; Ex 20:8-10) You shall not carry a load out of your houses

on the Sabbath day, nor do any work, but keep the Sabbath day holy,

as I commanded your fathers.

23 (Jer 11:10; 19:15) But they did not obey or incline their ears,

but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear nor receive instruction.

24 (Jer 17:21-22; Ex 15:26) It shall come to pass, if you diligently listen

to Me, says the Lord, to bring in no load through the gates of this city

on the Sabbath day, but sanctify the Sabbath day to do no work in it,

25 (Jer 22:4; Isa 9:7) then there shall enter by the gates of this city kings

and officials sitting on the throne of David,

riding in chariots and on horses,

they, and their officials, the men of Judah,

and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And this city will be inhabited forever.

26 (Jer 32:44; 33:13) They will come from the cities of Judah

and from the places about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin,

and from the plain, and from the mountains, and from the Negev,

bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and grain offerings,

and incense, and bringing sacrifices of praise to the house of the Lord.

27 (2Ki 25:9; Jer 7:20) But if you will not listen to Me to sanctify

the Sabbath day and not to bear a load, even entering in

at the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day,

then I will kindle a fire in the gates and it will devour the palaces

of Jerusalem and it will not be quenched.



2) Our Daily Bread for 10 August 2021

https://odb.org/CA/2021/08/10/love-that-disciplines

entitled Love That Disciplines



Proverbs 3:11-12



11 (Job 5:17) My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord,

nor be weary of His correction;

12 (Dt 8:5) for whom the Lord loves He corrects,

even as a father the son in whom he delights.



When I took a family studies class in college, we were asked to write

a "family history"-a record of the key events that make up one's childhood.

This included the patterns that characterized typical family life

and the methods of discipline we experienced. We all had at least one instance

of a parent misapplying discipline and leaving an emotional or physical scar.

Understandably, traumatic experiences like these may affect the way

we interpret our heavenly Father’s discipline.



In Proverbs 3:11-12, the wise teacher invites readers to accept God's discipline.

The word discipline could be translated "correction." As a good

and loving Father, God speaks through His Spirit and the Scriptures

to correct self-destructive behavior. God's discipline is relational-rooted

in His love and His desire for what's best for us. Sometimes it looks

like consequences. Sometimes God prompts someone to point out

our blind spots. Often, it’s uncomfortable, but God's discipline is a gift.



But we don't always see it that way. The wise man cautioned,

"Do not despise the Lord’s discipline" (v. 11). Sometimes we fear God's

discipline. At other times we misinterpret bad things in our lives

as God's discipline. This is far from the heart of a loving Father

who disciplines because He delights in us and corrects because He loves us.



Instead of fearing God's discipline, may we learn to accept it. When we hear

God's voice of correction in our hearts or experience conviction

when reading Scripture, may we thank God that He delights in us enough

to lead us to what's best.



By: Daniel Ryan Day



Reflect & Pray



How do you recognize God’s discipline?

How do you sense the love of God in the midst of it?



God, help me to recognize Your discipline so that

I can discover the freedom You offer.



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



Romans 8:38-39



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

neither angels nor principalities nor powers, neither things present

nor things to come,

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

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

which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.



Separation is a fact of human life. Relationships disintegrate,

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

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

but we must deal with them nevertheless.

Separation sometimes is a natural result of growth and development;

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

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

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

secret in her husband's past.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

tomorrow.

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

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

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

from that love.



Application



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



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

the present or the future?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Genesis 39:2-3 : 2 (Ge 21:22; 26:24) The Lord was with Joseph,

so that he became a prosperous man. He was in the house of his master,

the Egyptian.

3 (Ps 1:3; Ge 21:22) His master saw that the Lord was with him

and that the Lord made all that he did to prosper.



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



When you are anxious



Romans 8:28-30



28 (Gal 1:15; Ge 50:20) We know that all things work together

for good to those who love God,

to those who are called according to His purpose.

29 (Ro 11:2; 1Co 15:49; Eph 1:11) For those whom He foreknew,

He predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son,

so that He might be the firstborn among many brothers.

30 (1Co 6:11; Heb 9:15) And those whom He predestined, He also called;

and those whom He called, He also justified; and those whom He justified,

He also glorified.





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?)



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.



Adding further



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



Under the Keep Praying page



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

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

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

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

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

decorated and festivals will be held.

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

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

Islam.

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

which means Blessed Eid!"

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

know, and Muslims around the world:

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

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

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

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

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

relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.



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

"What does this mean?"

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



Peter's Speech at Pentecost



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

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

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

15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose,

since it is the third hour of the day.

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

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

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

your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

your young men shall see visions,

and your old men shall dream dreams.'



- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective

discipleship movements among Muslim people.



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

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



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

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

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

house."



Ideas for prayer



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

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

Christ among Muslim people -



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

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

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



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

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



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