Who is the Holy Spirit?
A) He was involved In Creation
1) Genesis chapters 1 to 3
The Creation
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was
formless and void,[a] darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the
Spirit of God was moving[b] over the surface of the water.
(God came into being on his own please note)
3 God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.
4 God saw that the light was good,
and God separated the light from the darkness.
5 God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night.
So the evening and the morning were the first day.
6 Then God said, "Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters,
and let it separate the waters from the waters." 7 So God made the expanse
and separated the waters which were under the expanse from the waters
which were above the expanse. And it was so. 8 God called the expanse Heaven.
So the evening and the morning were the second day.
9 Then God said, "Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together
into one place, and let the dry land appear." And it was so.
10 God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters
He called Seas. Then God saw that it was good.
11 Then God said, "Let the earth produce vegetation:[c] plants yielding seed
and fruit trees on the earth yielding fruit after their kind with seed in them.
" And it was so. 12 The earth produced vegetation, plants yielding seed after
their kind and trees yielding fruit with seed in them after their kind. And God
saw that it was good. 13 So the evening and the morning were the third day.
14 And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate
the day from the night, and let them be signs to indicate seasons, and days,
and years. 15 Let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light
on the earth." And it was so. 16 God made two great lights: the greater light
to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also.
17 Then God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth,
18 to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the
darkness. Then God saw that it was good. 19 So the evening and the morning
were the fourth day.
20 Then God said, "Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures
and let the birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the heavens."
21 So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves,
with which the waters swarmed, according to their kind, and every winged
bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
22 Then God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill
the waters in the seas, and let the birds multiply on the earth."
23 So the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
24 Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to
their kinds: livestock, and creeping things, and beasts of the earth
according to their kinds." And it was so.
25 So God made the beasts of the earth according to their kind,
and the livestock according to their kind, and everything that
creeps on the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness,
and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds
of the air, and over the livestock, and over all the earth,
and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."
27 So God created man in His own image;
in the image of God He created him;
male and female He created them.
28 God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish
the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds
of the air and over every living thing that moves on the earth."
29 Then God said, "See, I have given you every plant yielding seed which is
on the face of all the earth and every tree which has fruit yielding seed.
It shall be food for you. 30 To every beast of the earth and to every bird
of the air and to everything that creeps on the earth which has the breath
of life in it, I have given every green plant for food." And it was so.
31 God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good.
So the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Genesis 1
[1] In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
[2] And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face
of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
[3] And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
[4] And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from
the darkness.
[5] And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the
evening and the morning were the first day.
[6] And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and
let it divide the waters from the waters.
[7] And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the
firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
[8] And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning
were the second day.
[9] And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto
one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
[10] And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the
waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
[11] And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed,
and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself,
upon the earth: and it was so.
[12] And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his
kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind:
and God saw that it was good.
[13] And the evening and the morning were the third day.
[14] And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to
divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons,
and for days, and years:
[15] And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light
upon the earth: and it was so.
[16] And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and
the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
[17] And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the
earth,
[18] And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light
from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
[19] And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
[20] And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature
that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament
of heaven.
[21] And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth,
which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every
winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
[22] And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the
waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
[23] And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
[24] And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his
kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and
it was so.
[25] And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after
their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and
God saw that it was good.
[26] And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let
them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air,
and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing
that creepeth upon the earth.
[27] So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he
him; male and female created he them.
[28] And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and
multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the
fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing
that moveth upon the earth.
[29] And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which
is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit
of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
[30] And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to
every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have
given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
[31] And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very
good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

and Abi-ezer was gathered after him.

6 (Jdg 3:10; 13:25) Then the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon him,

would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand: but he told not his
father or his mother what he had done.

out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.

and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh,
and I will give you an heart of flesh.

28 (Eze 39:29; Isa 32:15) And it will be that, afterwards,

your old men will dream dreams,
and your young men will see visions.
29 (1Co 12:13; Gal 3:28) Even on the menservants and maidservants
in those days I will pour out My Spirit.
28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon
all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall
dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
29 and also upon the servants and upon the handmaids
in those days will I pour out my spirit.

and the power of the Highest will overshadow you.
Therefore the Holy One who will be born will be called the Son of God. "
35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon
thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that
holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

NUMBERS 27
Laws of Inheritance
Nu 36:1-12
1 (Nu 26:33) Then came near the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher,
the son of Gilead, the son of Makir, the son of Manasseh,
of the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and these are
the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milkah, and Tirzah.
2 They stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest,
and before the leaders and all the assembly by the door of the tent
of meeting, saying,
3 (Nu 26:64-65; 14:35) "Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not
in the company of them that gathered against the Lord, in the company
of Korah, but died in his own sin and had no sons.
4 (Jos 17:4) Why should the name of our father diminish from among
his family, because he has no son? Give to us a possession
among the brothers of our father."
5 Moses brought their case before the Lord.
6 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
7 The daughters of Zelophehad speak right.
You will certainly give them an inheritance among their father's brothers,
and you will cause the inheritance of their father to pass on to them.
8 You will speak to the children of Israel, saying, "If a man dies,
and has no son, then you will cause his inheritance
to pass on to his daughter.
9 If he has no daughter, then you will give his inheritance to his brothers.
10 If he has no brothers, then you will give his inheritance
to his father's brothers.
11 (Nu 35:29; Ru 4:3-6) If his father has no brothers, then you will give
his inheritance to his closest kinsman in his family, and he will possess it.
And it will be for the children of Israel a statute of judgment,
as the Lord commanded Moses."
Joshua to Succeed Moses
12 (Nu 33:47-48) The Lord said to Moses, "Go up into this mountain of Abarim,
and see the land which I have given to the children of Israel.
13 (Nu 31:2; Dt 10:6_ When you have seen it, you also will be gathered
to your people as Aaron your brother was gathered.
14 (Ex 17:7; Nu 20:24) For you rebelled against My commandment in
the Wilderness of Zin when the congregation argued against Me.
You did not show My holiness at the waters before their eyes." (
These are the waters of Meribah in Kadesh in the Wilderness of Zin.)
15 Moses spoke to the Lord, saying,
16 (Nu 16:22) "Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh,
appoint a man over the assembly
17 (Dt 31:2; 1Ki 22:17) who will go out before them,
and who will go in before them, and who will lead them out,
and who will bring them in, so the assembly of the Lord
will not be like sheep who do not have a shepherd."
18 (Dt 34:9; Ge 41:38; Nu 27:23) The Lord said to Moses,
"Take Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit,
and lay your hand on him,
19 (Dt 3:28) and cause him to stand before Eleazar the priest
and before all the assembly, and command in their sight.
20 (Jos 1:16-18) You will put some of your majesty on him,
in order that all the assembly of the children of Israel will listen.
21 (Ex 28:30; Jos 9:14) He will stand before Eleazar the priest,
who will ask for him about the judgment of the Urim before the Lord.
At his word will they go out, and at his word they will come in, both
he and all the children of Israel with him, even all the assembly."
22 Moses did as the Lord commanded him, and he took Joshua,
and he caused him to stand before Eleazar the priest
and before all the assembly.
23 (Nu 27:19) And he laid his hands on him
and commanded him as the Lord spoke by the hand of Moses.

12 (Nu 33:47-48) The Lord said to Moses, "Go up into this mountain of Abarim,

appoint a man over the assembly
17 (Dt 31:2; 1Ki 22:17) who will go out before them,
and who will go in before them, and who will lead them out,
and who will bring them in, so the assembly of the Lord
will not be like sheep who do not have a shepherd."
18 (Dt 34:9; Ge 41:38; Nu 27:23) The Lord said to Moses,
"Take Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit,
and lay your hand on him,
19 (Dt 3:28) and cause him to stand before Eleazar the priest
and before all the assembly, and command in their sight.
20 (Jos 1:16-18) You will put some of your majesty on him,

who will ask for him about the judgment of the Urim before the Lord.
At his word will they go out, and at his word they will come in, both
he and all the children of Israel with him, even all the assembly."
22 Moses did as the Lord commanded him, and he took Joshua,
and he caused him to stand before Eleazar the priest
and before all the assembly.

and commanded him as the Lord spoke by the hand of Moses.

aroma to Me, you will guard to offer to Me at their time.

will bring near to the Lord: two male lambs in their first year,
without blemish, day by day, as a regular burnt offering.
4 The one lamb you will offer in the morning, and the other lamb
you will offer at evening,
5 (Lev 2:1; Ex 16:36) and one-tenth of an ephah

of flour as a grain offering, mingled with one-fourth of a hin
(About 3,000 feet, or 900 meters.) of beaten oil.
6 (Am 5:25) It is a regular burnt offering, which was ordained
at Mount Sinai as a pleasing aroma, a sacrifice made by fire to the Lord.
7 (Ex 29:42) Its drink offering will be one-fourth of a hin for the one lamb.
In a holy place you will pour the strong wine
to the Lord as a drink offering.

and its drink offering, you will offer it as an offering made by fire,
a pleasing aroma to the Lord.
Sabbath Offerings

and two-tenths of an ephah

You will not do any ordinary work,
19 (Dt 15:21; Lev 22:20) but you will offer a sacrifice made
by fire as a burnt offering to the Lord: two young bulls, and one ram,
and seven lambs in their first year. Be sure they are without blemish.
20 And their grain offering will be of flour mixed with oil. 3/10ths
of an ephah you will offer for a bull, and 2/10ths of an ephah for a ram.
21 1/10th of an ephah you will offer for each of the seven lambs,
22 and one goat as a sin offering, to make an atonement for you.
23 (Nu 28:3) You will offer these in addition to the burnt offering
in the morning, which is for a regular burnt offering.
24 The same way you will offer daily, throughout the seven days,
the food of the sacrifice made by fire, as a pleasing aroma to the Lord.
It will be offered in addition to the regular burnt offering and its drink offering.

for one bull, 2/10 of an ephah for one ram,
29 1/10th of an ephah for each of the seven lambs;

You will offer them with their drink offerings,
besides the regular burnt offering and its grain offering.
Numbers 28
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[2] Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, My offering, and my
bread for my sacrifices made by fire, for a sweet savour unto me, shall ye
observe to offer unto me in their due season.
[3] And thou shalt say unto them, This is the offering made by fire which ye
shall offer unto the LORD; two lambs of the first year without spot day by
day, for a continual burnt offering.
[4] The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb shalt
thou offer at even;
[5] And a tenth part of an ephah of flour for a meat offering, mingled with
the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil.
[6] It is a continual burnt offering, which was ordained in mount Sinai for
a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD.
[7] And the drink offering thereof shall be the fourth part of an hin for
the one lamb: in the holy place shalt thou cause the strong wine to be
poured unto the LORD for a drink offering.
[8] And the other lamb shalt thou offer at even: as the meat offering of the
morning, and as the drink offering thereof, thou shalt offer it, a sacrifice
made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
[9] And on the sabbath day two lambs of the first year without spot, and two
tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, and the drink
offering thereof:
[10] This is the burnt offering of every sabbath, beside the continual burnt
offering, and his drink offering.
[11] And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a burnt offering
unto the LORD; two young bullocks, and one ram, seven lambs of the first
year without spot;
[12] And three tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil,
for one bullock; and two tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled
with oil, for one ram;
[13] And a several tenth deal of flour mingled with oil for a meat offering
unto one lamb; for a burnt offering of a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by
fire unto the LORD.
[14] And their drink offerings shall be half an hin of wine unto a bullock,
and the third part of an hin unto a ram, and a fourth part of an hin unto a
lamb: this is the burnt offering of every month throughout the months of the
year.
[15] And one kid of the goats for a sin offering unto the LORD shall be
offered, beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.
[16] And in the fourteenth day of the first month is the passover of the
LORD.
[17] And in the fifteenth day of this month is the feast: seven days shall
unleavened bread be eaten.
[18] In the first day shall be an holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of
servile work therein:
[19] But ye shall offer a sacrifice made by fire for a burnt offering unto
the LORD; two young bullocks, and one ram, and seven lambs of the first
year: they shall be unto you without blemish:
[20] And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil: three tenth
deals shall ye offer for a bullock, and two tenth deals for a ram;
[21] A several tenth deal shalt thou offer for every lamb, throughout the
seven lambs:
[22] And one goat for a sin offering, to make an atonement for you.
[23] Ye shall offer these beside the burnt offering in the morning, which is
for a continual burnt offering.
[24] After this manner ye shall offer daily, throughout the seven days, the
meat of the sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD: it
shall be offered beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink
offering.
[25] And on the seventh day ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do
no servile work.
[26] Also in the day of the firstfruits, when ye bring a new meat offering
unto the LORD, after your weeks be out, ye shall have an holy convocation;
ye shall do no servile work:
[27] But ye shall offer the burnt offering for a sweet savour unto the LORD;
two young bullocks, one ram, seven lambs of the first year;
[28] And their meat offering of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals
unto one bullock, two tenth deals unto one ram,
[29] A several tenth deal unto one lamb, throughout the seven lambs;
[30] And one kid of the goats, to make an atonement for you.
[31] Ye shall offer them beside the continual burnt offering, and his meat
offering, (they shall be unto you without blemish) and their drink
offerings.

2) Our Daily Bread for 6 March 2022
https://odb.org/CA/2022/03/06/tongue-tied
entitled Tongue-Tied in Prayer
Romans 8:22-27
22 (Jer 12:11; 12:4) We know that the whole creation groans
and travails in pain together until now.
23 (Ro 7:24; 8:19) Not only that, but we also, who have the first fruits
of the Spirit, groan within ourselves while eagerly waiting for adoption,
the redemption of our bodies.
24 (1Th 5:8; Heb 11:1) For we are saved through hope, but hope that is
seen is not hope, for why does a man still hope for what he sees?
25 (1Th 1:3) But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it
with patience.
26 (Eph 6:18; Mt 20:22; Zec 12:10) Likewise, the Spirit helps us
in our weaknesses, for we do not know what to pray for as we ought,
but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.
27 (Ro 8:34; Rev 2:23) He who searches the hearts knows what the mind
of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according
to the will of God.
[22] For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain
together until now.
[23] And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of
the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the
adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
[24] For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a
man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
[25] But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for
it.
[26] Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what
we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession
for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
[27] And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the
Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will
of God.
When my baby brother underwent surgery, I was concerned. My mother explained
that "tongue-tie" (ankyloglossia) was a condition he was born with and that
without help, his ability to eat and eventually to speak would be hindered.
Today we use the term tongue-tied to describe being at a loss for words or too
shy to speak.
Sometimes we can be tongue-tied in prayer, not knowing what to say. Our
tongues tie up in spiritual clichés and repetitive phrases. We arrow our
emotions heavenward, wondering if they will reach God’s ears. Our thoughts
zigzag along an unfocused path.
Writing to first-century Roman believers in Christ, the apostle Paul addressed
what to do when we struggle to know how to pray, inviting us to find help from
the Holy Spirit. "Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we
know not what
we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession
for us with groanings which cannot be uttered." (Romans 8:26). The concept
of "help" here is to carry a heavy load. And "wordless groans" indicates
an interceding presence as the Spirit carries our needs to God.
When we're tongue-tied in prayer, God's Spirit helps shape our confusion,
pain, and distraction into the perfect prayer that moves from our hearts to
God's ears. He listens and answers, bringing the exact kind of comfort
we may not have known we needed until we asked Him to pray for us.

3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation
Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools
Week 1 Knowing God's Word Day 1 - God's Perspective
Philip 4:13
13 (2Co 12:9-10; Eph 3:16) I can do all things because
of Christ who strengthens me.
13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
Many of us live out self-fulfilling prophecies. We believe
what we tell ourselves - or what we have been told by others:
"You're stupid", "You're ugly", "You'll never amount to anything,"
"You can't do anything right."
We programme ourselves for spiritual failure as well.
"I just can't memorise Scripture," we say. "It comes and goes,
and I can't seem to get it to stay." Yet daily we memorise
volumes of information that is less significant than the
Scriptures - telephone numbers, identification codes,
songs lyrics, advertising jingles.
The answer to the dilemma of negativism is not positive
thinking, but right thinking - biblical thinking, according
to what the Bible reveals of God's perspective. God says,
"You are worthwhile. You are valued. You are loved. I created you
just as you are, and whatever I call you to do,
I will give you the strength to do it.
The context of Phillipians 4:13 shows that Paul had learned
this important secret of spiritual strength. Paul had known
poverty and plenty, trouble and victory. But he also knew
he did not have to let circumstances determine his response to God's will.
We need not be controlled by the negative messages life throws in our paths
- even those self-defeating pronouncements we make to ourselves.
Rather, we can respond according to God's perspective, with the
conviction that God has given us strength we need to meet the
challenges we face.
Application
a) What challenges do I face that make me realise my own insufficiencies?
IS memorising Scripture one of those challenges for me?
b) How does today's memory verse help me face those challenges?
4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland
Mark 4:20-25
20 (Mk 4:8; Jn 15:4–5) "Still others are seed sown on good ground,
those who hear the word, and receive it, and bear fruit:
thirty, sixty, or a hundred times as much."
A Light Under a Basket
Lk 8:16-18
21 (Mt 5:15; Lk 8:16) He said to them, "Is a candle brought to be put
under a basket or under a bed and not to be set on a candlestick?
22 (Lk 8:17) For there is nothing hidden except to be revealed;
neither is anything kept secret except to be proclaimed.
23 (Mk 4:9; Mt 11:15)If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear."
24 (Mt 7:2) He said to them, "Take heed what you hear.
The measure you give will be measured for you,
and to you who hear will more be given.
25 (Mt 13:12; Lk 8:18) For to him who has will more be given.
And from him who has not will be taken, even what he has."
20 And these are they which are sown on good ground;
such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit,
some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.
21 And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put
under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?
22 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested;
neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.
23 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
24 And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete,
it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.
25 For he that hath, to him shall be given:
and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.
5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:
God's Help in Times of Temptation
Hebrews 4:14-16
Jesus the Great High Priest
14 (Heb 6:20; 1:2-3) Since then we have a great High Priest
Who has passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God,
let us hold firmly to our confession.
15 (2Co 5:21; Jn 8:46) For we do not have a High Priest
who cannot sympathise with our weaknesses,
but One who was in every sense tempted like we are, yet without sin.
16 (Eph 3:12; Php 4:6-7) Let us then come with confidence
to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy
and find grace to help in time of need.
14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest,
that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God,
let us hold fast our profession.
15 For we have not an high priest
which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities;
but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
16 Let us therefore come boldly
unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy,
and find grace to help in time of need.
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."
9 After this manner therefore pray ye:
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)
Saskatchewan
Quick facts on Muslims in Saskatchewan
Saskatchewan 2015 population 1125400
est Muslim Population 17279
CNMM Networks: Saskatoon
Saskatoon has seen quick growth in its Muslim population over the past
5 years, which maybe as high as 5000 today. Islamic leaders have
focused specifically on this city , having twice already sent cohorts
of about 70 families to start mosques. There are now 7 Islamic centres
of worship and an ISlamic madrassah (school) located right next to a
Christian school.
Of particular concern recently is the number of young adults who grew up
in evangelical churches and converted to Islam. Most of these are young
women whowere wooed by Muslim man and became emotionally bonded.
Both prior to and after marrying, these women are known to convert to ISlam.
Agree in prayer with us for:
- entire congregations and individual believers to catch God's heart
and passion for reaching Muslims in Saskatoon and the other growing
Muslim population centres of Saskatchewan.
- for the eyes and understanding of Canadian youth to be opened to the
spiritual reality of Islam, and not deceived nor manipulated into
converting to a religion which cannot offer assurance of salvation.
- for the few workers among Muslims now engaged there, and for many more
to be raised up into effective witness.
- for prayer and training events that are starting in Saskatoon
to spread and grow to other cities.
Adding further
30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020
Under the Keep Praying page
When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month
and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days
of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that
usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,
of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be
decorated and festivals will be held.
For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the
distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of
Islam.
You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
which means Blessed Eid!"
Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you
know, and Muslims around the world:
- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions
in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about
unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such
movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three
decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim
relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,
"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
18 Even on My menservants and maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:
blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]
Footnotes
Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.
- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective
discipleship movements among Muslim people.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for
Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.
Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a
hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under
a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the
house."
Ideas for prayer
- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you
- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving
Christ among Muslim people -
Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."
- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims
throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!

Matt 5:13-16
13 (Lev 2:13; Lk 14:34-35) "You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt
loses its saltiness, how shall it be made salty? It is from then on good for

14 (Jn 8:12; Pr 4:18) "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a
hill cannot be hidden.
15 (Mk 4:21; Lk 8:16) Neither do men light a candle and put it under a basket,
but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the house.
16 (1Pe 2:12; Mt 9:8; Jn 15:8) Let your light so shine before men that they
may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour,
wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing,
but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set
on an hill cannot be hid.
15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on
a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works,
and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Who is the Holy Spirit?
A) He was involved In Creation
1) Genesis chapters 1 to 3
The Creation
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was
formless and void,[a] darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the
Spirit of God was moving[b] over the surface of the water.
(God came into being on his own please note)
3 God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.
4 God saw that the light was good,
and God separated the light from the darkness.
5 God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night.
So the evening and the morning were the first day.
6 Then God said, "Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters,
and let it separate the waters from the waters." 7 So God made the expanse
and separated the waters which were under the expanse from the waters
which were above the expanse. And it was so. 8 God called the expanse Heaven.
So the evening and the morning were the second day.
9 Then God said, "Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together
into one place, and let the dry land appear." And it was so.
10 God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters
He called Seas. Then God saw that it was good.
11 Then God said, "Let the earth produce vegetation:[c] plants yielding seed
and fruit trees on the earth yielding fruit after their kind with seed in them.
" And it was so. 12 The earth produced vegetation, plants yielding seed after
their kind and trees yielding fruit with seed in them after their kind. And God
saw that it was good. 13 So the evening and the morning were the third day.
14 And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate
the day from the night, and let them be signs to indicate seasons, and days,
and years. 15 Let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light
on the earth." And it was so. 16 God made two great lights: the greater light
to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also.
17 Then God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth,
18 to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the
darkness. Then God saw that it was good. 19 So the evening and the morning
were the fourth day.
20 Then God said, "Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures
and let the birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the heavens."
21 So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves,
with which the waters swarmed, according to their kind, and every winged
bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
22 Then God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill
the waters in the seas, and let the birds multiply on the earth."
23 So the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
24 Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to
their kinds: livestock, and creeping things, and beasts of the earth
according to their kinds." And it was so.
25 So God made the beasts of the earth according to their kind,
and the livestock according to their kind, and everything that
creeps on the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness,
and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds
of the air, and over the livestock, and over all the earth,
and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."
27 So God created man in His own image;
in the image of God He created him;
male and female He created them.
28 God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish
the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds
of the air and over every living thing that moves on the earth."
29 Then God said, "See, I have given you every plant yielding seed which is
on the face of all the earth and every tree which has fruit yielding seed.
It shall be food for you. 30 To every beast of the earth and to every bird
of the air and to everything that creeps on the earth which has the breath
of life in it, I have given every green plant for food." And it was so.
31 God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good.
So the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Genesis 1
[1] In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
[2] And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face
of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
[3] And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
[4] And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from
the darkness.
[5] And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the
evening and the morning were the first day.
[6] And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and
let it divide the waters from the waters.
[7] And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the
firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
[8] And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning
were the second day.
[9] And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto
one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
[10] And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the
waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
[11] And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed,
and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself,
upon the earth: and it was so.
[12] And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his
kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind:
and God saw that it was good.
[13] And the evening and the morning were the third day.
[14] And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to
divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons,
and for days, and years:
[15] And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light
upon the earth: and it was so.
[16] And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and
the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
[17] And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the
earth,
[18] And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light
from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
[19] And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
[20] And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature
that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament
of heaven.
[21] And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth,
which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every
winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
[22] And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the
waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
[23] And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
[24] And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his
kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and
it was so.
[25] And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after
their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and
God saw that it was good.
[26] And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let
them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air,
and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing
that creepeth upon the earth.
[27] So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he
him; male and female created he them.
[28] And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and
multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the
fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing
that moveth upon the earth.
[29] And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which
is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit
of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
[30] And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to
every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have
given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
[31] And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very
good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that
holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

Laws of Inheritance
Nu 36:1-12
1 (Nu 26:33) Then came near the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher,
the son of Gilead, the son of Makir, the son of Manasseh,
of the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and these are
the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milkah, and Tirzah.
2 They stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest,
and before the leaders and all the assembly by the door of the tent
of meeting, saying,
3 (Nu 26:64-65; 14:35) "Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not
in the company of them that gathered against the Lord, in the company
of Korah, but died in his own sin and had no sons.
4 (Jos 17:4) Why should the name of our father diminish from among
his family, because he has no son? Give to us a possession
among the brothers of our father."
5 Moses brought their case before the Lord.
6 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
7 The daughters of Zelophehad speak right.
You will certainly give them an inheritance among their father's brothers,
and you will cause the inheritance of their father to pass on to them.
8 You will speak to the children of Israel, saying, "If a man dies,
and has no son, then you will cause his inheritance
to pass on to his daughter.
9 If he has no daughter, then you will give his inheritance to his brothers.
10 If he has no brothers, then you will give his inheritance
to his father's brothers.
11 (Nu 35:29; Ru 4:3-6) If his father has no brothers, then you will give
his inheritance to his closest kinsman in his family, and he will possess it.
And it will be for the children of Israel a statute of judgment,
as the Lord commanded Moses."
Joshua to Succeed Moses
12 (Nu 33:47-48) The Lord said to Moses, "Go up into this mountain of Abarim,
and see the land which I have given to the children of Israel.
13 (Nu 31:2; Dt 10:6_ When you have seen it, you also will be gathered
to your people as Aaron your brother was gathered.
14 (Ex 17:7; Nu 20:24) For you rebelled against My commandment in
the Wilderness of Zin when the congregation argued against Me.
You did not show My holiness at the waters before their eyes." (
These are the waters of Meribah in Kadesh in the Wilderness of Zin.)
15 Moses spoke to the Lord, saying,
16 (Nu 16:22) "Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh,
appoint a man over the assembly
17 (Dt 31:2; 1Ki 22:17) who will go out before them,
and who will go in before them, and who will lead them out,
and who will bring them in, so the assembly of the Lord
will not be like sheep who do not have a shepherd."
18 (Dt 34:9; Ge 41:38; Nu 27:23) The Lord said to Moses,
"Take Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit,
and lay your hand on him,
19 (Dt 3:28) and cause him to stand before Eleazar the priest
and before all the assembly, and command in their sight.
20 (Jos 1:16-18) You will put some of your majesty on him,
in order that all the assembly of the children of Israel will listen.
21 (Ex 28:30; Jos 9:14) He will stand before Eleazar the priest,
who will ask for him about the judgment of the Urim before the Lord.
At his word will they go out, and at his word they will come in, both
he and all the children of Israel with him, even all the assembly."
22 Moses did as the Lord commanded him, and he took Joshua,
and he caused him to stand before Eleazar the priest
and before all the assembly.

and commanded him as the Lord spoke by the hand of Moses.

My offering, My bread for My sacrifices made by fire, as a pleasing
aroma to Me, you will guard to offer to Me at their time.
3 (Lev 6:9) You will say to them: This is the fire offering which you
will bring near to the Lord: two male lambs in their first year,
without blemish, day by day, as a regular burnt offering.
4 The one lamb you will offer in the morning, and the other lamb
you will offer at evening,
5 (Lev 2:1; Ex 16:36) and one-tenth of an ephah

of flour as a grain offering, mingled with one-fourth of a hin
(About 3,000 feet, or 900 meters.) of beaten oil.
6 (Am 5:25) It is a regular burnt offering, which was ordained
at Mount Sinai as a pleasing aroma, a sacrifice made by fire to the Lord.

Numbers 28
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[2] Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, My offering, and my
bread for my sacrifices made by fire, for a sweet savour unto me, shall ye
observe to offer unto me in their due season.
[3] And thou shalt say unto them, This is the offering made by fire which ye
shall offer unto the LORD; two lambs of the first year without spot day by
day, for a continual burnt offering.
[4] The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb shalt
thou offer at even;
[5] And a tenth part of an ephah of flour for a meat offering, mingled with
the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil.
[6] It is a continual burnt offering, which was ordained in mount Sinai for
a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD.
[7] And the drink offering thereof shall be the fourth part of an hin for
the one lamb: in the holy place shalt thou cause the strong wine to be
poured unto the LORD for a drink offering.
[8] And the other lamb shalt thou offer at even: as the meat offering of the
morning, and as the drink offering thereof, thou shalt offer it, a sacrifice
made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
[9] And on the sabbath day two lambs of the first year without spot, and two
tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, and the drink
offering thereof:
[10] This is the burnt offering of every sabbath, beside the continual burnt
offering, and his drink offering.
[11] And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a burnt offering
unto the LORD; two young bullocks, and one ram, seven lambs of the first
year without spot;

for one bullock; and two tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled
with oil, for one ram;

unto one lamb; for a burnt offering of a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by
fire unto the LORD.
[14] And their drink offerings shall be half an hin of wine unto a bullock,
and the third part of an hin unto a ram, and a fourth part of an hin unto a
lamb: this is the burnt offering of every month throughout the months of the
year.
[15] And one kid of the goats for a sin offering unto the LORD shall be
offered, beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.
[16] And in the fourteenth day of the first month is the passover of the
LORD.
[17] And in the fifteenth day of this month is the feast: seven days shall
unleavened bread be eaten.
[18] In the first day shall be an holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of
servile work therein:

the LORD; two young bullocks, and one ram, and seven lambs of the first
year: they shall be unto you without blemish:
[20] And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil: three tenth
deals shall ye offer for a bullock, and two tenth deals for a ram;
[21] A several tenth deal shalt thou offer for every lamb, throughout the
seven lambs:
[22] And one goat for a sin offering, to make an atonement for you.
[23] Ye shall offer these beside the burnt offering in the morning, which is
for a continual burnt offering.
[24] After this manner ye shall offer daily, throughout the seven days, the
meat of the sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD: it
shall be offered beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink
offering.
[25] And on the seventh day ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do
no servile work.
[26] Also in the day of the firstfruits, when ye bring a new meat offering
unto the LORD, after your weeks be out, ye shall have an holy convocation;
ye shall do no servile work:
[27] But ye shall offer the burnt offering for a sweet savour unto the LORD;
two young bullocks, one ram, seven lambs of the first year;
[28] And their meat offering of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals
unto one bullock, two tenth deals unto one ram,
[29] A several tenth deal unto one lamb, throughout the seven lambs;
[30] And one kid of the goats, to make an atonement for you.
[31] Ye shall offer them beside the continual burnt offering, and his meat
offering, (they shall be unto you without blemish) and their drink
offerings.

2) Our Daily Bread for 6 March 2022
https://odb.org/CA/2022/03/06/tongue-tied
entitled Tongue-Tied in Prayer
Romans 8:22-27
22 (Jer 12:11; 12:4) We know that the whole creation groans
and travails in pain together until now.
23 (Ro 7:24; 8:19) Not only that, but we also, who have the first fruits
of the Spirit, groan within ourselves while eagerly waiting for adoption,
the redemption of our bodies.
24 (1Th 5:8; Heb 11:1) For we are saved through hope, but hope that is
seen is not hope, for why does a man still hope for what he sees?
25 (1Th 1:3) But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it
with patience.
26 (Eph 6:18; Mt 20:22; Zec 12:10) Likewise, the Spirit helps us
in our weaknesses, for we do not know what to pray for as we ought,
but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.
27 (Ro 8:34; Rev 2:23) He who searches the hearts knows what the mind
of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according
to the will of God.
[22] For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain
together until now.
[23] And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of
the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the
adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
[24] For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a
man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
[25] But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for
it.
[26] Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what
we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession
for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
[27] And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the
Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will
of God.
When my baby brother underwent surgery, I was concerned. My mother explained
that "tongue-tie" (ankyloglossia) was a condition he was born with and that
without help, his ability to eat and eventually to speak would be hindered.
Today we use the term tongue-tied to describe being at a loss for words or too
shy to speak.
Sometimes we can be tongue-tied in prayer, not knowing what to say. Our
tongues tie up in spiritual clichés and repetitive phrases. We arrow our
emotions heavenward, wondering if they will reach God’s ears. Our thoughts
zigzag along an unfocused path.
Writing to first-century Roman believers in Christ, the apostle Paul addressed
what to do when we struggle to know how to pray, inviting us to find help from
the Holy Spirit. "Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we
know not what
we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession
for us with groanings which cannot be uttered." (Romans 8:26). The concept
of "help" here is to carry a heavy load. And "wordless groans" indicates
an interceding presence as the Spirit carries our needs to God.
When we're tongue-tied in prayer, God's Spirit helps shape our confusion,
pain, and distraction into the perfect prayer that moves from our hearts to
God's ears. He listens and answers, bringing the exact kind of comfort
we may not have known we needed until we asked Him to pray for us.

3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation
Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools
Week 1 Knowing God's Word Day 1 - God's Perspective
Philip 4:13
13 (2Co 12:9-10; Eph 3:16) I can do all things because
of Christ who strengthens me.
13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
Many of us live out self-fulfilling prophecies. We believe
what we tell ourselves - or what we have been told by others:
"You're stupid", "You're ugly", "You'll never amount to anything,"
"You can't do anything right."
We programme ourselves for spiritual failure as well.
"I just can't memorise Scripture," we say. "It comes and goes,
and I can't seem to get it to stay." Yet daily we memorise
volumes of information that is less significant than the
Scriptures - telephone numbers, identification codes,
songs lyrics, advertising jingles.
The answer to the dilemma of negativism is not positive
thinking, but right thinking - biblical thinking, according
to what the Bible reveals of God's perspective. God says,
"You are worthwhile. You are valued. You are loved. I created you
just as you are, and whatever I call you to do,
I will give you the strength to do it.
The context of Phillipians 4:13 shows that Paul had learned
this important secret of spiritual strength. Paul had known
poverty and plenty, trouble and victory. But he also knew
he did not have to let circumstances determine his response to God's will.
We need not be controlled by the negative messages life throws in our paths
- even those self-defeating pronouncements we make to ourselves.
Rather, we can respond according to God's perspective, with the
conviction that God has given us strength we need to meet the
challenges we face.

4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland
Mark 4:20-25
20 (Mk 4:8; Jn 15:4–5) "Still others are seed sown on good ground,
those who hear the word, and receive it, and bear fruit:
thirty, sixty, or a hundred times as much."
A Light Under a Basket
Lk 8:16-18
21 (Mt 5:15; Lk 8:16) He said to them, "Is a candle brought to be put
under a basket or under a bed and not to be set on a candlestick?
22 (Lk 8:17) For there is nothing hidden except to be revealed;
neither is anything kept secret except to be proclaimed.
23 (Mk 4:9; Mt 11:15)If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear."
24 (Mt 7:2) He said to them, "Take heed what you hear.
The measure you give will be measured for you,
and to you who hear will more be given.
25 (Mt 13:12; Lk 8:18) For to him who has will more be given.
And from him who has not will be taken, even what he has."
20 And these are they which are sown on good ground;
such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit,
some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.
21 And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put
under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?
22 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested;
neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.
23 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
24 And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete,
it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.
25 For he that hath, to him shall be given:
and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.
5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:
God's Help in Times of Temptation
Hebrews 4:14-16
Jesus the Great High Priest
14 (Heb 6:20; 1:2-3) Since then we have a great High Priest
Who has passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God,
let us hold firmly to our confession.
15 (2Co 5:21; Jn 8:46) For we do not have a High Priest
who cannot sympathise with our weaknesses,
but One who was in every sense tempted like we are, yet without sin.
16 (Eph 3:12; Php 4:6-7) Let us then come with confidence
to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy
and find grace to help in time of need.
14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest,
that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God,
let us hold fast our profession.
15 For we have not an high priest
which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities;
but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
16 Let us therefore come boldly
unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy,
and find grace to help in time of need.

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."
9 After this manner therefore pray ye:
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)
Saskatchewan
Quick facts on Muslims in Saskatchewan
Saskatchewan 2015 population 1125400
est Muslim Population 17279
CNMM Networks: Saskatoon
Saskatoon has seen quick growth in its Muslim population over the past
5 years, which maybe as high as 5000 today. Islamic leaders have
focused specifically on this city , having twice already sent cohorts
of about 70 families to start mosques. There are now 7 Islamic centres
of worship and an ISlamic madrassah (school) located right next to a
Christian school.
Of particular concern recently is the number of young adults who grew up
in evangelical churches and converted to Islam. Most of these are young
women whowere wooed by Muslim man and became emotionally bonded.
Both prior to and after marrying, these women are known to convert to ISlam.
Agree in prayer with us for:
- entire congregations and individual believers to catch God's heart
and passion for reaching Muslims in Saskatoon and the other growing
Muslim population centres of Saskatchewan.
- for the eyes and understanding of Canadian youth to be opened to the
spiritual reality of Islam, and not deceived nor manipulated into
converting to a religion which cannot offer assurance of salvation.
- for the few workers among Muslims now engaged there, and for many more
to be raised up into effective witness.
- for prayer and training events that are starting in Saskatoon
to spread and grow to other cities.
Adding further
30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020
Under the Keep Praying page
When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month
and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days
of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that
usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,
of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be
decorated and festivals will be held.
For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the
distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of
Islam.
You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
which means Blessed Eid!"
Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you
know, and Muslims around the world:
- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions
in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about
unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such
movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three
decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim
relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,
"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
18 Even on My menservants and maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:
blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]
Footnotes
Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.
- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective
discipleship movements among Muslim people.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for
Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.
Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a
hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under
a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the
house."
Ideas for prayer
- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you
- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving
Christ among Muslim people -
Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."
- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims
throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!
My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further
call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity
(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, ...) .

understanding people."

16 (1Pe 2:12; Mt 9:8; Jn 15:8) Let your light so shine before men that they
may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour,
wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing,
but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set
on an hill cannot be hid.
