Day 133, 12 May 2024
Today at
Calvary Community Church , Pastor Nathan Zieber spoke on
Beyond Normal - Hope in Healing
Acts 9:32-42
The Healing of Aeneas
32 (Ac 9:13; 8:25) As Peter passed through every region,
he came down also to the saints who lived in Lydda.
33 There he found a man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden for eight years
and was paralyzed.
34 (Ac 3:6; 3:16) Peter said to him, "Aeneas, Jesus the Christ heals you.
Rise up and make your bed." And immediately he rose up.
35 (1Ch 5:16; Ac 11:21) All those who lived in Lydda and Sharon saw him
and turned to the Lord.
[32] And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quarters, he came
down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.
[33] And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, which had kept his bed
eight years, and was sick of the palsy.
[34] And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise,
and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.
[35] And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to the Lord.
Dorcas Restored to Life
36 (2Ch 2:16; Ezr 3:7) In Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha,
which is translated Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and almsgiving.
37 (Ac 1:13; 20:8) In those days she became ill and died. And when they had
washed her, they placed her in an upper room.
38 (Ac 9:36) Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter
was there, sent two men to him, pleading, "Do not delay to come to us."
39 Peter rose up and went with them. When he arrived, they led him into
the upper room. All the widows stood by him weeping,
and showing the tunics and garments
which Dorcas had made while she was with them.
40 (Mt 9:25; Ac 7:60) Peter put them all outside and knelt down and prayed.
And turning to the body he said, "Tabitha, arise." She opened her eyes,
and when she saw Peter she sat up.
41 (Ac 6:1) He gave her his hand and lifted her up. And when he had called
the saints and widows, he presented her alive.
42 (Jn 11:45; 12:11) It became known throughout all Joppa,
and many believed in the Lord.
43 (Ac 10:6; 10:32) He remained in Joppa for many days with Simon, a tanner.
[36] Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by
interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and
almsdeeds which she did.
[37] And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom
when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber.
[38] And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard
that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would
not delay to come to them.
[39] Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him
into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing
the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.
[40] But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning
him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she
saw Peter, she sat up.
[41] And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the
saints and widows, presented her alive.
[42] And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord.
[43] And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon
a tanner.
1)Psalms 32, 86, 122
PSALMS 32
A Psalm of David. A Contemplative Maskil.
1 Blessed is he
whose transgression is forgiven,
whose sin is covered.
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) Blessed is the man
against whom the Lord does not count iniquity,
and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) When I kept silent,
my bones wasted away
through my groaning all day long.
4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) For day and night
Your hand was heavy on me;
my strength was changed
into the drought of summer. Selah
5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) I acknowledged my sin to You,
and my iniquity I did not conceal.
I said, "I will confess
my transgressions to the Lord,"
and You forgave
the iniquity of my sin. Selah
6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) For this cause everyone who is godly will pray to You
in a time when You may be found;
surely in the floods of great waters
they will not reach him.
7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) You are my hiding place;
You will preserve me from trouble;
You will surround me with shouts of deliverance. Selah
8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) I will instruct you and teach you
in the way you should go;
I will counsel you with my eye on you.
9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) Do not be as the horse or as the mule
that are without understanding,
that must be restrained with bit and bridle,
or they will not come near you.
10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) Many sorrows come to the wicked,
but lovingkindness will surround
the man who trusts in the Lord.
11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, you righteous one;
and shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart!
Psalm 32
[1] Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
[2] Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in
whose spirit there is no guile.
[3] When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day
long.
[4] For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into
the drought of summer. Selah.
[5] I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I
said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the
iniquity of my sin. Selah.
[6] For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when
thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not
come nigh unto him.
[7] Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou
shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.
[8] I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I
will guide thee with mine eye.
[9] Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding:
whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto
thee.
[10] Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD,
mercy shall compass him about.
[11] Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all
ye that are upright in heart.

and shall glorify Your name.
10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) For You are great and do wondrous deeds;
You are God alone.
11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) Teach me Your way, O Lord,
that I will walk in Your truth;
bind my heart
to fear Your name.
12 I will give You thanks, O Lord my God, with all my heart,
and I will glorify Your name forever.
13 For great is Your mercy toward me,
and You have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.
14 O God, insolent men have risen against me,
and bands of violent men have sought my life;
they have not set You before them.
15 But You, O Lord, are a God full of compassion and gracious,
slow to anger, and abundant in mercy and truth.
16 Turn to me and have mercy on me;
give Your strength to Your servant,
and save the humble son of Your female servant.
17 Show me a sign of Your favor,
that those who hate me may see it and be ashamed
because You, Lord, have helped and comforted me.
Psalms 86
[1] Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.
[2] Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that
trusteth in thee.
[3] Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.
[4] Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my
soul.
[5] For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy
unto all them that call upon thee.
[6] Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my
supplications.
[7] In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.
[8] Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there
any works like unto thy works.
[9] All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O
Lord; and shall glorify thy name.
[10] For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.
[11] Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to
fear thy name.
[12] I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will
glorify thy name for evermore.
[13] For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from
the lowest hell.
[14] O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent
men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them.
[15] But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious,
longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
[16] O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy
servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
[17] Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be
ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.
PSALMS 122

1 I was glad when they said to me,
"Let us go into the house of the Lord."
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) Our feet shall stand
within your gates, O Jerusalem.
3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) Jerusalem is built as a city
that is designed for a multitude,

Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.
[5] For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of
David.
[6] Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.
[7] Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.
[8] For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within
thee.
[9] Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.
2) Our Daily Bread for 12 May 2024 titled
Leaving a Spiritual Legacy
2 Timothy 1:3-5
3 (Ro 1:8-9; Ac 23:1) I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience as my
forefathers did, as I continually remember you in my prayers night and day,
4 (2Ti 4:9; 4:21) greatly desiring to see you, remembering your tears,
that I may be filled with joy,
5 (Ac 16:1; 1Ti 1:5) remembering the genuine faith that first lived
in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and that I am persuaded
lives in you also.
[3] I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that
without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day;
[4] Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be
filled with joy;
[5] When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which
dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am
persuaded that in thee also.
As teens, my sister and I didn't understand my mom's decision to receive
Jesus as her Savior, but we couldn't deny the changes we saw in her.
She had more peace and joy and began faithfully serving at church.
She had such a hunger for studying the Bible that she attended
and graduated from seminary. A few years after my mom's decision,
my sister accepted Christ and started serving Him. And a few years
after that, I also placed my trust in Jesus and started serving Him.
Many years later, my father joined us in believing in Him as well.
My mom's decision for Christ created a life-changing ripple effect
among our immediate and extended family.
When the apostle Paul wrote his final letter to Timothy and encouraged
him to persevere in his faith in Jesus, he noted Timothy's spiritual heritage.
"I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother
Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also"
(2 Timothy 1:5).
Moms and grandmoms, your decisions can affect generations.
How beautiful that Timothy's mom and grandmom helped nurture
his faith so he could become the man God was calling him to be.
On this Mother's Day and beyond,
let's honour mothers who've made a decision to follow Jesus.
Let's also leave a spiritual legacy for our loved ones.
By: Nancy Gavilanes
Reflect & Pray
Which godly women can you honor today?
What kind of spiritual legacy would you like to leave for others?
Father God, thank You for godly mothers.
Please help me to also leave a spiritual legacy for others.
3) From The Billy Graham Evangelical Ministry Association
Words in Season - Scripture Memory Tools
Week 3 - Saved Now and Forever - Day 1 - Bought Back
Eph 1:7
7 (Ro 3:24; Ac 2:38; 20:28) In Him we have redemption through His blood
and the forgiveness of sins according to the riches of His grace
[7] In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins,
according to the riches of his grace;
In the opening scenes of The Glenn Miller Story, Glenn Miller, then a
struggling musician trying to find an audience for his music, enters
a pawn shop. He has hocked his trombone for rent money, and has come
to redeem it. Paying the pawn broker the money, he buys back his own
instrument and leaves the shop, indicating that he will probably
be back again.
In Eph 1:7. Paul says that in Christ "we have redemption through
His blood and the forgiveness of sin according to the riches of His grace."
We belonged to God from the beginning; he made us and stamped
his image upon us. But through sin we were lost, pawned to the
world's system and the Enemy of our souls.
But God redeemed us; he "bought us back" with the most valuable
currency in the universe - the blood of his own Son, Jesus Christ.
He did not resent the bargain, or question whether we were worth
such a price. He freely gave Jesus in trade to ransom the souls
of the people he created and loved.
Sometimes in Christian circles we get so caught up in religious
jargon that we forget what redemption really means. Gog did not have
to "get us out of hock." He was not compelled to buy us back when we
had sold ourselves to sin. But because of his love, and with no
deserving on our part, he chose to pay an enormous price to set us free.
We are redeemed, bought back, by the One who owned us in the first place.
Application
a) In what ways have I been "in hock" to sin in my life?
b) What does it mean, in practical terms, that God "redeemed" me
from that sin?
4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland
Proverbs 10:22
22 The blessing of the Lord makes rich ,and He adds no sorrow with it.
22 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, And he addeth no sorrow with it.
5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:
When you are Saddened by Loss
1 Cor 15:35-38,51-57
35 But someone will say, "How are the dead raised up?
With what body do they come?"
36 You fool! What you sow is not made alive unless it dies.
37 When you sow, you do not sow the body that shall be, but a bare kernel,
perhaps of wheat or of some other grain.
38 Then God gives it a body as He pleases, and to each seed its own body.
51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall
all be changed.
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet,
for the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised incorruptible,
and we shall be changed.
53 For tis corruptible will put on incorruption,
and this mortal will put on immortality.
54 When this corruptible will have put on incorruption,
and this mortal will have put on immortality,
then the saying that is written shall come to pass:
"Death is swallowed up in victory."
55 "O death, where is your sting?
O grave, where is your victory?"
56 The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law.
57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through
our Lord Jesus Christ!
35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up?
and with what body do they come?
36 Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
37 and that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be,
but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:
38 but God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him,
and to every seed his own body.
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall
all be changed,
52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump:
for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible,
and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption,
and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption,
and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought
to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through
our Lord Jesus Christ.
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 2022 edition?)
Ontario
Quick facts on Muslims in Ontario
Ontario 2015 population 13 687 7000
est Muslim Population 1 001 542
CNMM Networks: Ottawa, Durham, York, Toronto, Mississauga, Halton, Hamilton,
Niagara, Kitchener, London, Windsor
Ontario has 55% of all of Canada's entire Muslim population. This means that
the whole of the Muslim world is represented somewhere in this province. Most
Muslims are understandably located along the southern border stretching
from Windsor eastward all the way up to Ottawa. Yet Muslims are constantly
resettling in more and more suburban and even small towns of Ontario. Mosques
are springing up, and where there are enough gathered, Islamic schools
are starting.
And they're not complacent, either. Many Islamic leaders are energetic in their
advancement of Islam in Canadian society. Recently in the Niagara Region,
the local mosque distributed via Canada Post as many as 50000 full-colour
brochures on Islam. An that mosque's Facebook page proudly show pictures of
"reverts", or white Canadians who have converted to Islam as a result of
receiving the flier and engaging with the mosque community. Another town
reports Muslims going door-to-door evangelism.
Agree in prayer for:
- net network leaders - the need is great
- the development of network leadership teams
- good connections with local pastors, congregations and individuals
whom God is calling into this ministry.
- wisdom facilitating outreach and training activities for mobilising
believers
- new full and part-time workers among Muslims throughout all these areas
- for pastors and churches to respond not in fear, but full of faith and love
towards Muslims, sharing Jesus with them.
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!
And
Thank you for praying through the
5 Days of Prayer for Sikhs.
"My name is Kam. I'm 29 years of age, and I grew up Sikh. As a teenager,
I struggled with depression, brokenness, and addiction to
cannabis. I didn't know how to stop or how to get help.
Then a friend invited me to church. As I spent time with Christians
and heard the message of the Gospel, I experienced the
love of Jesus Christ, and it was like nothing I'd known before.
One night I had a dream where I saw Him - a figure surrounded by
light who I knew was Jesus, the light of the world.
As I began to understand the gospel message, I encountered a reassuring and
confident solution to the problem of sin. I knew that I needed a solution
to my sin problem, and I gave my life to Christ.
Slowly, God began to heal my broken heart and my addiction.
Nine years have passed, and I am a devoted husband and a father
to two beautiful boys. I grow deeper in love with Jesus each day.
I ask you to continue praying with me, and others around the world, for Sikhs.
God is the only one who can draw people to Himself. He works in and through
the prayers of His people. I want Sikhs to know the freedom
and healing that is only available through Jesus Christ."
13 (Ro 14:17; 12:12) Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy
and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope,
through the power of the Holy Spirit.
[13] Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that
ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
ROMANS 15:13
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, ...) .

Beyond Normal - Hope in Healing
Acts 9:32-42
The Healing of Aeneas
32 (Ac 9:13; 8:25) As Peter passed through every region,
he came down also to the saints who lived in Lydda.
33 There he found a man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden for eight years
and was paralyzed.
34 (Ac 3:6; 3:16) Peter said to him, "Aeneas, Jesus the Christ heals you.
Rise up and make your bed." And immediately he rose up.
35 (1Ch 5:16; Ac 11:21) All those who lived in Lydda and Sharon saw him
and turned to the Lord.
[32] And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quarters, he came
down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.
[33] And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, which had kept his bed
eight years, and was sick of the palsy.
[34] And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise,
and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.
[35] And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to the Lord.
Dorcas Restored to Life
36 (2Ch 2:16; Ezr 3:7) In Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha,
which is translated Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and almsgiving.
37 (Ac 1:13; 20:8) In those days she became ill and died. And when they had
washed her, they placed her in an upper room.
38 (Ac 9:36) Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter
was there, sent two men to him, pleading, "Do not delay to come to us."
39 Peter rose up and went with them. When he arrived, they led him into
the upper room. All the widows stood by him weeping,
and showing the tunics and garments
which Dorcas had made while she was with them.
40 (Mt 9:25; Ac 7:60) Peter put them all outside and knelt down and prayed.
And turning to the body he said, "Tabitha, arise." She opened her eyes,
and when she saw Peter she sat up.
41 (Ac 6:1) He gave her his hand and lifted her up. And when he had called
the saints and widows, he presented her alive.
42 (Jn 11:45; 12:11) It became known throughout all Joppa,
and many believed in the Lord.
43 (Ac 10:6; 10:32) He remained in Joppa for many days with Simon, a tanner.
[36] Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by
interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and
almsdeeds which she did.
[37] And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom
when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber.
[38] And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard
that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would
not delay to come to them.
[39] Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him
into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing
the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.
[40] But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning
him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she
saw Peter, she sat up.
[41] And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the
saints and widows, presented her alive.
[42] And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord.
[43] And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon
a tanner.

PSALMS 32
A Psalm of David. A Contemplative Maskil.
1 Blessed is he
whose transgression is forgiven,
whose sin is covered.
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) Blessed is the man
against whom the Lord does not count iniquity,
and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) When I kept silent,
my bones wasted away
through my groaning all day long.
4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) For day and night
Your hand was heavy on me;
my strength was changed
into the drought of summer. Selah
5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) I acknowledged my sin to You,
and my iniquity I did not conceal.
I said, "I will confess
my transgressions to the Lord,"
and You forgave
the iniquity of my sin. Selah
6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) For this cause everyone who is godly will pray to You
in a time when You may be found;
surely in the floods of great waters
they will not reach him.
7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) You are my hiding place;
You will preserve me from trouble;
You will surround me with shouts of deliverance. Selah
8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) I will instruct you and teach you
in the way you should go;

that are without understanding,

and shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart!
Psalm 32
[1] Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
[2] Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in
whose spirit there is no guile.
[3] When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day
long.
[4] For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into
the drought of summer. Selah.
[5] I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I
said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the
iniquity of my sin. Selah.
[6] For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when
thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not
come nigh unto him.
[7] Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou
shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.
[8] I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I
will guide thee with mine eye.
[9] Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding:
whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto
thee.

mercy shall compass him about.
[11] Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all
ye that are upright in heart.

trusteth in thee.

soul.

unto all them that call upon thee.
[6] Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my
supplications.
[7] In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.
[8] Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there
any works like unto thy works.

Lord; and shall glorify thy name.

[11] Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to
fear thy name.
[12] I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will
glorify thy name for evermore.
[13] For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from
the lowest hell.
[14] O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent
men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them.
[15] But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious,
longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
[16] O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy
servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
[17] Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be
ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.

2) Our Daily Bread for 12 May 2024 titled
Leaving a Spiritual Legacy
2 Timothy 1:3-5
3 (Ro 1:8-9; Ac 23:1) I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience as my
forefathers did, as I continually remember you in my prayers night and day,
4 (2Ti 4:9; 4:21) greatly desiring to see you, remembering your tears,
that I may be filled with joy,
5 (Ac 16:1; 1Ti 1:5) remembering the genuine faith that first lived
in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and that I am persuaded
lives in you also.
[3] I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that
without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day;
[4] Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be
filled with joy;
[5] When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which
dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am
persuaded that in thee also.
As teens, my sister and I didn't understand my mom's decision to receive
Jesus as her Savior, but we couldn't deny the changes we saw in her.
She had more peace and joy and began faithfully serving at church.
She had such a hunger for studying the Bible that she attended
and graduated from seminary. A few years after my mom's decision,
my sister accepted Christ and started serving Him. And a few years
after that, I also placed my trust in Jesus and started serving Him.
Many years later, my father joined us in believing in Him as well.
My mom's decision for Christ created a life-changing ripple effect
among our immediate and extended family.
When the apostle Paul wrote his final letter to Timothy and encouraged
him to persevere in his faith in Jesus, he noted Timothy's spiritual heritage.
"I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother
Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also"
(2 Timothy 1:5).
Moms and grandmoms, your decisions can affect generations.
How beautiful that Timothy's mom and grandmom helped nurture
his faith so he could become the man God was calling him to be.
On this Mother's Day and beyond,
let's honour mothers who've made a decision to follow Jesus.
Let's also leave a spiritual legacy for our loved ones.
By: Nancy Gavilanes
Reflect & Pray
Which godly women can you honor today?
What kind of spiritual legacy would you like to leave for others?
Father God, thank You for godly mothers.
Please help me to also leave a spiritual legacy for others.

Words in Season - Scripture Memory Tools
Week 3 - Saved Now and Forever - Day 1 - Bought Back
Eph 1:7
7 (Ro 3:24; Ac 2:38; 20:28) In Him we have redemption through His blood
and the forgiveness of sins according to the riches of His grace
[7] In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins,
according to the riches of his grace;
In the opening scenes of The Glenn Miller Story, Glenn Miller, then a
struggling musician trying to find an audience for his music, enters
a pawn shop. He has hocked his trombone for rent money, and has come
to redeem it. Paying the pawn broker the money, he buys back his own
instrument and leaves the shop, indicating that he will probably
be back again.
In Eph 1:7. Paul says that in Christ "we have redemption through
His blood and the forgiveness of sin according to the riches of His grace."
We belonged to God from the beginning; he made us and stamped
his image upon us. But through sin we were lost, pawned to the
world's system and the Enemy of our souls.
But God redeemed us; he "bought us back" with the most valuable
currency in the universe - the blood of his own Son, Jesus Christ.
He did not resent the bargain, or question whether we were worth
such a price. He freely gave Jesus in trade to ransom the souls
of the people he created and loved.
Sometimes in Christian circles we get so caught up in religious
jargon that we forget what redemption really means. Gog did not have
to "get us out of hock." He was not compelled to buy us back when we
had sold ourselves to sin. But because of his love, and with no
deserving on our part, he chose to pay an enormous price to set us free.
We are redeemed, bought back, by the One who owned us in the first place.
Application
a) In what ways have I been "in hock" to sin in my life?
b) What does it mean, in practical terms, that God "redeemed" me
from that sin?
4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland
Proverbs 10:22
22 The blessing of the Lord makes rich ,and He adds no sorrow with it.
22 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, And he addeth no sorrow with it.
5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:
When you are Saddened by Loss
1 Cor 15:35-38,51-57
35 But someone will say, "How are the dead raised up?
With what body do they come?"
36 You fool! What you sow is not made alive unless it dies.
37 When you sow, you do not sow the body that shall be, but a bare kernel,
perhaps of wheat or of some other grain.
38 Then God gives it a body as He pleases, and to each seed its own body.
51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall
all be changed.
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet,
for the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised incorruptible,
and we shall be changed.
53 For tis corruptible will put on incorruption,
and this mortal will put on immortality.
54 When this corruptible will have put on incorruption,
and this mortal will have put on immortality,
then the saying that is written shall come to pass:
"Death is swallowed up in victory."
55 "O death, where is your sting?
O grave, where is your victory?"
56 The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law.
57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through
our Lord Jesus Christ!
35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up?
and with what body do they come?
36 Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
37 and that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be,
but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:
38 but God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him,
and to every seed his own body.
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall
all be changed,
52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump:
for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible,
and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption,
and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption,
and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought
to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through
our Lord Jesus Christ.
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 2022 edition?)
Ontario
Quick facts on Muslims in Ontario
Ontario 2015 population 13 687 7000
est Muslim Population 1 001 542
CNMM Networks: Ottawa, Durham, York, Toronto, Mississauga, Halton, Hamilton,
Niagara, Kitchener, London, Windsor
Ontario has 55% of all of Canada's entire Muslim population. This means that
the whole of the Muslim world is represented somewhere in this province. Most
Muslims are understandably located along the southern border stretching
from Windsor eastward all the way up to Ottawa. Yet Muslims are constantly
resettling in more and more suburban and even small towns of Ontario. Mosques
are springing up, and where there are enough gathered, Islamic schools
are starting.
And they're not complacent, either. Many Islamic leaders are energetic in their
advancement of Islam in Canadian society. Recently in the Niagara Region,
the local mosque distributed via Canada Post as many as 50000 full-colour
brochures on Islam. An that mosque's Facebook page proudly show pictures of
"reverts", or white Canadians who have converted to Islam as a result of
receiving the flier and engaging with the mosque community. Another town
reports Muslims going door-to-door evangelism.
Agree in prayer for:
- net network leaders - the need is great
- the development of network leadership teams
- good connections with local pastors, congregations and individuals
whom God is calling into this ministry.
- wisdom facilitating outreach and training activities for mobilising
believers
- new full and part-time workers among Muslims throughout all these areas
- for pastors and churches to respond not in fear, but full of faith and love
towards Muslims, sharing Jesus with them.
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!
And
Thank you for praying through the
5 Days of Prayer for Sikhs.
"My name is Kam. I'm 29 years of age, and I grew up Sikh. As a teenager,
I struggled with depression, brokenness, and addiction to
cannabis. I didn't know how to stop or how to get help.
Then a friend invited me to church. As I spent time with Christians
and heard the message of the Gospel, I experienced the
love of Jesus Christ, and it was like nothing I'd known before.
One night I had a dream where I saw Him - a figure surrounded by
light who I knew was Jesus, the light of the world.
As I began to understand the gospel message, I encountered a reassuring and
confident solution to the problem of sin. I knew that I needed a solution
to my sin problem, and I gave my life to Christ.
Slowly, God began to heal my broken heart and my addiction.
Nine years have passed, and I am a devoted husband and a father
to two beautiful boys. I grow deeper in love with Jesus each day.
I ask you to continue praying with me, and others around the world, for Sikhs.
God is the only one who can draw people to Himself. He works in and through
the prayers of His people. I want Sikhs to know the freedom
and healing that is only available through Jesus Christ."
13 (Ro 14:17; 12:12) Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy
and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope,
through the power of the Holy Spirit.
[13] Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that
ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
