we address Psalm 103:1-5



Psalms 103

A Psalm of David.



1 Bless the Lord, O my soul,

and all that is within me, bless His holy name.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) Bless the Lord, O my soul,

and forget not all His benefits,

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) who forgives all your iniquities,

who heals all your diseases,

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) who redeems your life from the pit,

who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) who satisfies your mouth with good things,

so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.



Six reasons To Praise The lord



1) Forgiver of sins ... who forgives all your sins.



Praise the Lord Because He forgives All your Sins

Like the prodigal son og Luke 15:18-24



17 "When he came to himself, he said, 'How many of my father's hired

servants have an abundance of bread, and here I am perishing with hunger!

18 (Lk 15:21; 18:13) I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him,

"Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you.

19 (Lk 7:6-7) I am no longer worthy to be called your son.

Make me like one of your hired servants." '

20 (Ac 20:37; Ge 45:14) So he arose and came to his father.

“But while he was yet far away, his father saw him and was moved

with compassion, and ran and embraced his neck and kissed him.

21 (Ps 51:4; Lk 15:18-19) "The son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned

against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.'

22 (Ge 41:42; Rev 6:11) "But the father said to his servants,

'Bring out the best robe and put it on him. And put a ring on his hand

and shoes on his feet.

23 Bring here the fattened calf and kill it, and let us eat and be merry.

24 (Lk 15:32; Eph 2:1) For this son of mine was dead, and is alive again;

he was lost, and is found.' So they began to be merry."



Mark 2:5



5 (Mt 9:2; 9:22) When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic,

"Son, your sins are forgiven you."



2) Healer .. who heals all your diseases.



Healed from sickness - our faith is built



Healed through sickness - our faith is refined



Healed by sickness - into eternity - our faith is perfected



3) Redeemer ... who crowns you with tender mercies.



Praise the Lord because he redeems your life from death



4) Blesser .. who crowns you with tender mercies.



5) Satisfier ... who fills your life with good things.



6) Renewer ... who renews your strength like the eagles.



Jeremiah 32-24



Jeremiah 32



Jeremiah Buys a Field



1 (2Ki 25:1-2; Jer 39:1-2) The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord

in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year

of Nebuchadnezzar.

2 (Ne 3:25; Jer 37:21) For then the king of Babylon's army besieged Jerusalem,

and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison,

which was in the house of the king of Judah.

3 (Jer 34:2-3; 21:4-7) For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying,

"Why do you prophesy? You say: Thus says the Lord: I am about to give this

city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it,

4 (Jer 38:18; 38:23) and Zedekiah king of Judah will not escape

out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but will surely be delivered into the hand

of the king of Babylon, and will speak with him face to face and see him

eye to eye.

5 (Jer 27:22; 33:5) And he will lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there he will be

until I visit him, says the Lord. Though you fight against the Chaldeans,

you will not succeed."

6 So Jeremiah said, The word of the Lord came to me, saying:

7 (Jer 1:1; Lev 25:25) Hanamel the son of Shallum your uncle will come to you,

saying, "Buy my field that is in Anathoth. For the right of redemption

is yours to buy it."

8 (Jer 32:2; 32:7) So Hanamel my uncle's son came to me in the court

of the prison according to the word of the Lord and said to me, "Please buy

my field, that is in Anathoth, which is in the country of Benjamin;

for the right of inheritance and the redemption is yours.

Buy it for yourself."

Then I knew that this was the word of the Lord.

9 I bought the field of Hanamel my uncle's son, that was in Anathoth,

and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels

[About 7 ounces, or 200 grams.] of silver.

10 (Jer 32:44; 32:12; Dt 32:34) I signed and sealed the deed, and summoned

witnesses, and weighed the money from him in the balances.

11 (Lk 2:27) So I took the deed of purchase, both that which was sealed

according to the law and custom, and that which was open.

12J (Jer 32:16; 51:59) And I gave the deed of purchase to Baruch

the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the sight of Hanamel

my uncle's son, and in the presence of the witnesses

who signed the deed of purchase, before all the Jews

who sat in the court of the prison.

13 I charged Baruch in their presence, saying,

14 Thus says the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel: Take these deeds,

this sealed deed of purchase and this deed which is open, and put them

in an earthen vessel that they may last many days.

15 (Jer 30:18; 32:43-44) For thus says the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel:

Houses and fields and vineyards shall be possessed again in this land.



Jeremiah Prays for Understanding



16 (Ge 32:9-12; Jer 12:1) Now when I had delivered the deed of purchase

to Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed to the Lord, saying:

17 (Ge 18:14; 2Ki 19:15) Ah Lord God! Truly, You have made the heavens

and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm,

and there is nothing too hard for You.

18 (Jer 10:16; Ex 34:7) You show lovingkindness to thousands,

and recompense the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom

of their children after them, O great and mighty God.

The Lord of Hosts is His name,

19 (Isa 28:29; Jer 17:10) great in counsel and mighty in deed,

whose eyes are open to all the ways of the sons of men,

to give to everyone according to his ways

and according to the fruit of his deeds.

20 (Ne 9:10; Ex 9:16) You have set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt,

even to this day, and in Israel, and among other men, and have made Yourself

a name, as it is today.

21 (Ex 6:6; Dt 26:8) And You have brought your people Israel out of the land

of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand,

and with a stretched-out arm, and with great terror.

22 (Ex 3:8; 13:5) And You have given them this land, which You swore

to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey.

23 (Ezr 9:7; Ps 78:54-55) And they entered and possessed it.

But they did not obey Your voice or walk in Your law.

They have done nothing of all that You commanded them to do;

therefore You have caused all this calamity to come upon them.

24 (Dt 4:26; Jos 23:15-16) See, the siege ramps have come to the city

to take it. And the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans

who fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine,

and of the pestilence, and what You have spoken has come to pass,

as You can see.

25 (Jer 32:24) O Lord God, You have said to me,

"Buy the field for money and call in witnesses,"

although the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.



God Promises the People's Return



26 Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying:

27 (Nu 16:22; 27:16) Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh.

Is anything too hard for Me?

28 (Jer 32:3; 19:7-12) Therefore thus says the Lord: I will give this city

into the hand of the Chaldeans and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar

king of Bab­ylon, and he shall take it.

29 (Jer 19:13; 21:10) And the Chaldeans who fight against this city

will come and set this city on fire and burn it with the houses,

upon whose roofs they have offered incense to Baal

and poured out drink offerings to other gods, to provoke Me to anger.

30 (Dt 9:7-12; Isa 63:10) Indeed the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah

have only done evil before Me from their youth.

For the sons of Israel have only provoked Me to anger with the work

of their hands, says the Lord.

31 (2Ki 23:27; 1Ki 11:7-8) Indeed this city has been to Me a provocation

of My anger and My fury from the day that they built it, even to this day,

so that I should remove it from before My face,

32 (Isa 1:4-6; Jer 2:26) because of all the evil of the sons of Israel

and of the sons of Judah which they have done to provoke Me to anger,

they, their kings, their officials, their priests, and their prophets,

and the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

33 (Jer 2:27; 7:13) They have turned their back to Me and not their face.

Though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have

not listened nor received instruction.

34 (Jer 7:30; 2Ki 21:4-7) But they set their abominations in the house

which is called by My name, to defile it.

35 (Jer 7:31; Lev 18:21; 20:2-5) They built the high places of Baal

which are in the Valley of Ben Hinnom to cause their sons and their daughters

to pass through the fire to Molek, which I had not commanded them,

nor did it come into My mind that they should do this abomination,

to cause Judah to sin.

36 (Jer 32:24; 32:3) Now therefore, thus says the Lord, the God of Israel,

concerning this city of which you say, "It shall be delivered

into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by famine,

and by pestilence":

37(Jer 23:3; 23:6) See, I will gather them out of all countries wherever

I have driven them in My anger, and in My fury, and in great wrath;

and I will bring them again to this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely.

38 (Jer 24:7; 30:22) And they shall be My people, and I will be their God.

39 (Dt 11:18-21; 2Ch 30:12) And I will give them one heart and one way,

that they may fear Me forever, for their good and for their children

after them.

40 (Isa 55:3; Jer 50:5) And I will make an everlasting covenant with them

that I will not turn away from them, to do them good. But I will put My fear

in their hearts so that they shall not depart from Me.

41 (Jer 24:6; Dt 30:9) Indeed, I will rejoice over them to do them good,

and I will plant them in this land assuredly with My whole heart

and with My whole soul.

42 (Jer 31:28; Zec 8:14-15) For thus says the Lord: Just as I have brought

all this great calamity upon this people, so I will bring upon them

all the good that I have promised them.

43 (Jer 32:15; Eze 37:11-14) Fields will be bought in this land of which you

say, It is desolate, without man or beast. It is given

into the hand of the Chaldeans.

44 (Jer 17:26; 33:7) Men will buy fields for money, sign and seal deeds,

and call in witnesses in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about

Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the mountains,

and in the cities of the valley, and in the cities of the Negev;

for I will restore their fortunes, says the Lord.



Jeremiah 33

The Promise of Restoration

1 (Jer 37:21; 38:28) Moreover the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah

the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison,

saying:

2 (Ex 6:3; 15:3) Thus says the Lord, the Maker of the earth, the Lord

who formed it to establish it; the Lord is His name:

3 (Jer 29:12; Ps 91:15) Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you

great and mighty things which you do not know.

4 (Jer 32:24; Eze 4:2) For thus says the Lord God of Israel concerning

the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah,

which are thrown down to make a defense against the siege mounds

and against the sword:

5 (Isa 8:17; Jer 21:4-7) They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but it is

to fill them with the dead bodies of men whom I have slain in My anger

and in My fury, all for whose wickedness I have hidden My face from this city.

6 (Isa 30:26; 66:12) I will bring it health and healing, and I will heal them;

and I will reveal to them the abundance of peace and truth.

7 (Isa 1:26; Jer 30:3) I will restore the fortunes of Judah and the fortunes

of Israel, and will build them as at the first.

8 (Ps 51:2; Jer 31:34) I will cleanse them from all their iniquity whereby

they have sinned against Me. And I will pardon all their iniquities whereby

they have sinned and whereby they have transgressed against Me.

9 (Jer 13:11; Isa 60:5) It will be to Me a name of joy, praise,

and honor before all the nations of the earth which shall hear of all the good

that I do to them; and they will fear and tremble for all the goodness and for

all the prosperity that I procure for it.

10 (Jer 32:43) Thus says the Lord: Again there shall be heard in this place

of which you say, "It is desolate, without man and without beast,"

even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem,

that are desolate, without man and without inhabitant, and without beast,

11 (1Ch 16:34; 16:8) the voice of joy, and the voice of gladness,

the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of those

who shall say,

"Give thanks to the Lord of Hosts,

for the Lord is good;

for His mercy endures forever,"

and of those who bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the Lord.

For I will restore the fortunes of the land as at the first, says the Lord.

12 (Isa 65:10; Jer 31:24) Thus says the Lord of Hosts: Again in this place

which is desolate, without man and without beast, and in all the cities,

will be a habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down.

13 (Lev 27:32; Jer 17:26) In the cities of the mountains, in the cities

of the vale, and in the cities of the Negev, and in the land of Benjamin,

and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah,

shall the flocks pass again under the hands of him who numbers them,

says the Lord.



The Davidic Covenant



14 (Jer 29:10; 23:5) Surely, the days are coming, says the Lord, when

I will perform that good word which I have promised to the house of Israel

and to the house of Judah:

15 (Isa 4:2; 11:1-5) In those days and at that time,

I will cause a righteous Branch to spring up for David;

and he shall execute justice and righteousness in the earth.

16 (Jer 23:6; Isa 45:17; 1Co 1:30) In those days Judah will be saved,

and Jerusalem will dwell safely.

And this is the name by which she will be called:

THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

17 (1Ki 2:4; Ps 89:29-37) For thus says the Lord: David shall never lack

a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel;

18 nor shall the Levitical priests lack a man before Me to offer burnt

offerings, to kindle grain offerings, and to sacrifice continually.

19 The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying:

20 (Ge 8:22; Ps 89:37) Thus says the Lord: If you can break

My covenant of the day and My covenant of the night so that there

should not be day and night in their season,

21 (2Ch 7:18; Ps 89:34) then also My covenant may be broken

with David My servant, that he should not have a son to reign on his throne,

and with the Levitical priests, My ministers.

22 (Ge 15:5; 22:17) As the host of heaven cannot be numbered

nor the sand of the sea measured, so I will multiply the seed of David

My servant and the Levites that minister to Me.

23 Moreover the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying:

24 (Ne 4:2-4; Ps 44:13-14) Have you not considered what this people

have spoken, saying, "The two families which the Lord has chosen,

He has cast them off"? Thus they have despised My people, that they should be

no more a nation before them.

25 (Ps 74:16-17; Jer 31:35-36) Thus says the Lord: If My covenant for day

and night does not stand, and if I have not appointed the ordinances

of heaven and earth,

26 (Isa 14:1; Jer 31:37) then I would cast away the seed of Jacob

and David My servant, so that I would not take any of his seed to be rulers

over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Yet I will restore their fortunes

and have mercy on them.



Jeremiah 34



Zedekiah to Die in Exile



1 (Jer 1:15; 32:2) The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord

when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army

and all the kingdoms of the earth of his dominion

and all the people fought against Jerusalem and against all the cities,

saying:

2 (Jer 21:10; 34:22) Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Go and speak

to Zed­ekiah king of Judah and tell him: Thus says the Lord: I will give

this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will burn it with fire.

3 (Jer 32:4; 21:7) And you will not escape out of his hand, but will surely

be taken and delivered into his hand. And you will see the king of Babylon

eye to eye, and he will speak with you face to face,

and you will go to Babylon.

4 Yet hear the word of the Lord, O Zedekiah king of Judah!

Thus says the Lord concerning you: You will not die by the sword.

5 (2Ch 16:14; Jer 22:18) But you will die in peace; and as spices

were burned for your fathers, the former kings who were before you,

so they burn spices for you. And they will lament for you, saying,

"Alas, lord!" For I have pronounced the word, says the Lord.

6 (1Sa 3:18; 15:16-24) Then Jeremiah the prophet spoke all these words

to Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem,

7 (Jos 10:3; 15:35) when the king of Babylon's army fought against Jerusalem,

and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish and Azekah,

for these fortified cities remained of the cities of Judah.



Slaves to be Free



8 (Lev 25:10; 2Ki 11:17) This is the word that came to Jeremiah

from the Lord after the king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people

who were in Jerusalem to proclaim liberty to them:

9 (Ge 14:13; Ex 2:6) that every man should let his male slave and every man

his female slave, being a Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman, go free so that

no one should keep them, a Jew his brother, in bondage.

10 (Jer 26:10; 26:16) Now when all the officials and all the people who had

entered into the covenant heard that everyone should let his male slave

and everyone his female slave go free, so that no one should keep them

any more in bondage, then they obeyed and let them go.

11 But afterward they turned around and caused the male slaves

and the female slaves whom they had set free to return, and brought

them into subjection for male slaves and female slaves.

12 Therefore the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying:

13 (Jos 24:17; Jdg 6:8) Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: I made

a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them out of the land

of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, saying:

14 (Dt 15:12; 1Sa 8:7-8) "At the end of seven years, each of you shall set

free his Hebrew brother who has been sold to you; and when he has served

you six years, you shall let him go free from you." But your fathers did not

obey Me nor incline their ear.

15 (Jer 34:8; 2Ki 23:3; Ne 10:29) You recently turned and did what was right

in My sight by proclaiming liberty, every man to his neighbour; and you made

a covenant before Me in the house that is called by My name.

16 (Lev 19:12; Ex 20:7) But then you turned around and profaned My name

when every one of you took back his male and female slaves,

whom you had set free, at their pleasure, and you brought them

into subjection to be your slaves.

17 (Mt 7:2; Dt 28:25) Therefore thus says the Lord: You have not obeyed Me

in proclaiming liberty, everyone to his brother and every man

to his neighbor. I proclaim a liberty to you, says the Lord, to the sword,

to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you a terror to all

the kingdoms of the earth.

18 (Ge 15:10; Dt 17:2) I will give the men who have transgressed My covenant,

who have not performed the words of the covenant which they had made

before Me, when they cut the calf in two and passed between the parts,

19 (Zep 3:3-4; Jer 29:2) the officials of Judah and the officials of Jerusalem,

the court officers, and the priests, and all the people of the land,

who passed between the parts of the calf,

20 (Jer 7:33; 11:21) I will even give them into the hand of their enemies

and into the hand of those who seek their life; and their dead bodies

shall be food to the fowl of heaven and to the beasts of the earth.

21 (Jer 39:6; 52:24-27) Zedekiah king of Judah and his officials I will give

into the hand of their enemies and into the hand of those who seek

their life and into the hand of the king of Babylon's army,

which has gone away from you.

22 (Jer 9:11; 39:1-2) I will command, says the Lord, and cause them

to return to this city, and they will fight against it and take it

and burn it with fire; and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation

without an inhabitant.

entitled Extending Grace to Others



Acts 4:32-35



32 (2Ch 30:12; Php 1:27) All the believers were of one heart and one soul,

and no one said that what he possessed was his own. But to them all things

were in common.

33 (Ac 1:8; 1:22) With great power the apostles testified to the resurrection

of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was on them all.

34 (Ac 2:45) There was no one among them who lacked, for all those

who were owners of land or houses sold them,

and brought the income from what was sold,

35 (Ac 5:2; 2:45) and placed it at the apostles' feet. And it was distributed

to each according to his need.



Our son spent the early years of his life in a children's home prior

to our adopting him. Before leaving the cinderblock building together

to go home, we asked to collect his belongings. Sadly, he had none.

We exchanged the clothes he was wearing for the new items we'd brought

for him and also left some clothing for the other children.

Even though I was grieved by how little he had, I rejoiced that we could

now help meet his physical and emotional needs.



A few years later, we saw a person asking for donations for families in need.

My son was eager to donate his stuffed animals and a few coins to help them.

Given his background, he might have (understandably) been more

inclined to hold tightly to his belongings.



I'd like to think the reason for his generous response was the same

as that of the early church: "God’s grace was so powerfully at work

in them all" that nobody in their midst had need (Acts 4:33–34).

The people willingly sold their own possessions to provide

for one another's needs.



When we become aware of the needs of others, whether material

or intangible, may God's grace be so powerfully at work in us that

we respond as they did, willingly giving from our hearts to those

in need. This makes us vessels of God's grace as fellow believers

in Jesus, "one in heart and mind" (v. 32).

Week 4 - The Blessings of Grace Day 1 - The Joy of Confessing Christ



Romans 10:9-10







9 (Lk 12:8; Php 2:11)that if you confess with your mouth

Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from

the dead, you will be saved,

10 for with the heart one believes unto righteousness,

and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation



Teena, a college freshman, has just committed her life to Christ,

but she was apprehensive about telling anyone - until Bill appeared

on the scene. He plunked his coffee cup down on the table and smiled.

"I heard something exciting happened to you yesterday, Teena"

"Yeah", Teena paused and looked around, as if seeking an escape route.

"I , uh, well, I did it"

"Did what?"

"Well, I, ah, gave my life to God."

"That's wonderful!" Bill exclaimed.

He was still talking with Teena and encouraging he in her decision

when Maria walked by.

"Maria!" Bill called. "Teena wants to tell you something!"

Teena gasped , open-mouthed, then stammered,

" I - I committed my life to Christ."

Maria , similarly enthuasiatic, encouraged Teena in her commitment,

and within half an hour Teena was stopping her friends to tell them,

"Guess what? I've become a Christian! I belng to Jesus now!"

Teena had already surrendered her heart to Christ.

But when she confessed her decision aloud to others,

the truth of that transformation was confirmed by her.

Many of us have been raised to believe that 'faith is a private matter',

not to be discussed in polite company. Yet Paul makes clear the connection

between heart commitment and verbal confession. Just as my love for family

and friends deepens as I tell them I love them, so a person's love

for Christ is confirmed and stabilised by speaking of that commitment to others.



Application



a) Have I been reluctant to tell others of my faith in Christ? Why?



b) What happens within me when I do tell others of my love for the Lord?





4) Prosperity verses from Kenneth Copeland



Joshua 1:8



8 (Ps 19:14; 119:15) This Book of the Law must not depart from your mouth.

Meditate on it day and night so that you may act carefully according to all

that is written in it. For then you will make your way successful,

and you will be wise.



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



When you are discouraged or Depressed



Matthew 11: 25-30



25 (Ps 8:2; Jn 11:41) At that time Jesus said, "I thank You, O Father,

Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things

from the wise and prudent and revealed them to infants.

26 Even so, Father, for it seemed good in Your sight.

27 (Jn 10:15; Mt 28:18; Jn 1:18) "All things are delivered to Me

by My Father, and no one knows the Son, except the Father.

And no one knows the Father, except the Son and he to whom

the Son will reveal Him.

burdened, and I will give you rest.

29 (Jer 6:16; Jn 13:15) Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me.

For I am meek and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.(Jer 6:16).

30 (1Jn 5:3) For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light."

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, ...) .
