Day 305 of My 6th Bible Study Journey
Day 305, 1 November 2025
Today at Calvary Community
Church, Pastor Barry and Lori-Anne Regier on Why is Marriage so hard?
A) Honour the shared dignity God gave us.
Genesis 1:27
[27] So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he
him; male and female created he them.
Genesis 5:1-2
1 This is the book of the generations of Adam.
In the day when God created man, He made him in the likeness of God.
2 He created them male and female. He blessed them and called them Mankind
in the day when they were created
[1] This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created
man, in the likeness of God made he him;
[2] Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name
Adam, in the day when they were created.
B) Embrace the difference God designed
Genesis 2
Adam and Eve
18 Then the Lord God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone.
I will make him a helper suitable for him."
[18] And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I
will make him an help meet for him.
19 Out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every
bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them.
Whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name.
20 The man gave names to all the livestock, to the birds of the sky,
and to every beast of the field, but for Adam[f] there was not found a helper
suitable for him.
[19] And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and
every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call
them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name
thereof.
[20] And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to
every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for
him.
21 So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept.
Then He took one of his ribs and closed up the place with flesh.
22 Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man,
He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.
[21] And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam and he slept:
and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
[22] And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman,
and brought her unto the man.
23 Then Adam said,
"This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she will be called Woman,
for she was taken out of Man."
[23] And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she
shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
Ephesians 5:23
23 (Eph 1:22-23; Col 1:18) For the husband is the head of the wife,
just as Christ is the head and Savior of the church, which is His body.
[23] For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of
the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
C) Cultivate the one-flesh union God established.
Genesis 2:24-25
24 Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother
and be joined to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
[24] Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave
unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
25 They were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
[25] And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
(Just before going on I would like to preface the Serpent aka Satan
/ Lucifer;
From Isaiah 14
12 How are you fallen from heaven,
O Lucifer, son of the morning!
(- Please note Son of the Morning NOT Morning Star )
How you are cut down to the ground,
you who weaken the nations!
13 For you have said in your heart,
"I will ascend into heaven,
I will exalt my throne
above the stars of God;
I will sit also on the mount of the congregation,
in the recesses of the north;
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds,
I will be like the Most High."
15 Yet you shall be brought down to Hell,
to the sides of the pit.
Satan created a rebellion in Heaven
and From Jesus himself Luke 10:18 He said to them, "
I saw Satan as lightning fall from heaven." And so the spiritual war begins)
Philippians 4:8
8 (Ac 6:3; 10:22) Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever
things are honest, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure,
whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report,
if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think on these things.
[8] Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are
honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever
things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any
virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
4) Build a legacy that reflects God's purposes.
Genesis 1:28
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."
[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.
Philippians 1:6
A heart of Assurance
6 (1Co 1:8; Jn 6:29) I am confident of this very thing, that He who began
a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ.
[6] Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work
in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
1)John 13:31-38, Mark 14:27-31, Matthew 26:31-35 , Luke 22:31-38,
John 14 , John 15:1-17
John 13:31-38
The New Commandment
31 (Jn 7:39; 14:13) When he had gone out, Jesus then said,
"Now is the Son of Man glorified, and in Him God is glorified.
32 (Jn 12:23; 17:1) If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him
in Himself and will immediately glorify Him.
33 (Jn 7:33-34; 1Jn 2:1) "Little children, yet a little while I am with you.
You will seek Me. And as I said to the Jews, so now I tell you,
'Where I am going, you cannot come.'
34 (Lev 19:18; Eph 5:2) "A new commandment I give to you,
that you love one another, even as I have loved you,
that you also love one another.
35 (Jn 17:21) By this all men will know that you are My disciples,
if you have love for one another."
Peter's Denial Foretold
Mt 26:31-35; Mk 14:27-31; Lk 22:31-34
36 (2Pe 1:14; Jn 13:33) Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, where are You going?"
Jesus answered him, "Where I am going, you cannot follow Me now.
But you shall follow Me afterward."
37 Peter said to Him, "Lord, why can I not follow You now?
I will lay down my life for Your sake."
38 (Mk 14:30) Jesus answered Him, "Will you lay down your life for My sake?
Truly, truly I say to you, the rooster shall not crow until you have denied Me
three times."
[31] Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world
be cast out.
[32] And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
[33] This he said, signifying what death he should die.
[34] The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ
abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who
is this Son of man?
[35] Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you.
Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that
walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
[36] While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children
of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from
them.
[37] But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed
not on him:
[38] That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he
spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the
Lord been revealed?
Mark 14:27-31
Peter's Denial Foretold
Mt 26:31-35; Lk 22:31-34; Jn 13:36-38
27 (Zec 13:7; Mt 26:31) Jesus said to them,
"All of you will fall away on account of Me this night, for it is written:
'I will strike the shepherd,
and the sheep will be scattered.' (Zec 13:7).
28 (Mt 28:16; Mk 16:7) But after I have risen,
I will go before you to Galilee."
29 Peter said to Him, "Even if all fall away, I will not."
30 (Mk 14:66-72; Jn 13:38) Jesus said to him, "Truly, I say to you that
this day, during the night, before the rooster crows twice,
you will deny Me three times."
31 But he said more vehemently, "If I must die with You, I will not deny You."
They all said the same thing.
[27] And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this
night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be
scattered.
[28] But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.
[29] But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I.
[30] And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this day, even
in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice.
[31] But he spake the more vehemently, If I should die with thee, I will not
deny thee in any wise. Likewise also said they all.
Matthew 26:31-35
Peter's Denial Foretold
Mk 14:27-31; Lk 22:31-34; Jn 13:36-38
31 (Zec 13:7; Jn 16:32) Then Jesus said to them,
"All of you will fall away on account of Me this night,
for it is written:
'I will strike the shepherd,
and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered.' (Zec 13:7).
32 (Mt 28:10; 28:16) But after I have risen, I will go before you to Galilee."
33 (Lk 22:33) Peter answered, "Though all men will fall away on account
of You, yet I will never fall away."
34 (Jn 13:38; Mt 26:75) Jesus said to him, "Truly I say to you, this night,
before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times."
35 (Jn 13:37) Peter said to Him, "Though I should die with You, yet I will
not deny You." And all the disciples spoke in this manner.
[31] Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this
night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the
flock shall be scattered abroad.
[32] But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.
[33] Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended
because of thee, yet will I never be offended.
[34] Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before
the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
[35] Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny
thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.
Luke 22:31-38
Peter's Denial Foretold
31 (Am 9:9; Job 1:6-12) Then the Lord said, "Simon, Simon, listen!
Satan has demanded to have you to sift you as wheat.
32 (Jn 21:15-17; Ro 8:34) But I have prayed for you that your faith
may not fail. And when you have repented, strengthen your brothers."
33 (Mt 26:33-35; Mk 14:29) He said to Him, "Lord, I am ready to go
with You to prison and to death."
34 (Mt 26:34; Mk 14:30) He said, "I tell you, Peter, before the rooster
crows today, you will deny three times that you know Me."
[31] And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have
you, that he may sift you as wheat:
[32] But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art
converted, strengthen thy brethren.
[33] And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into
prison, and to death.
[34] And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day,
before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.
Purse, Bag, and Sword
35 (Lk 9:3; Mt 10:9-10) Then He said to them, "When I sent you without purse
or bag or sandals, did you lack anything?"
They said, "Nothing."
36 He said to them, "But now, let him who has a purse take it and also a bag.
And let him who has no sword sell his garment and buy one.
37 (Isa 53:12) For I tell you, what is written must yet be accomplished in Me,
'And He was numbered with the transgressors.'(Isa 53:12.)
Indeed, what is written concerning Me has a fulfillment."
38 They said, "Lord, look, here are two swords."
He said to them, "It is enough."
[35] And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and
shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.
[36] Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it,
and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment,
and buy one.
[37] For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished
in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things
concerning me have an end.
[38] And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto
them, It is enough.
John 14
John 14
Jesus the Way to the Father
1 (Jn 12:44; 16:22-23) "Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God.
Believe also in Me.
2 (Jn 13:33; 13:36) In My Father's house are many dwelling places. If it were
not so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you.
3 (Jn 12:26; 14:28) And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again
and receive you to Myself, that where I am, you may be also.
4 You know where I am going, and you know the way."
5 (Jn 11:16) Thomas said to Him, "Lord, we do not know where You are going.
How can we know the way?"
6 (Jn 10:9; 1:14; Ac 4:12) Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth,
and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
7 (Jn 8:19) If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also.
From now on you do know Him and have seen Him."
8 Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father,
and that is sufficient for us."
9 (Heb 1:3; Jn 12:45; Col 1:15) Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you
such a long time, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen
Me has seen the Father. So how can you say, 'Show us the Father'?
10 (Jn 5:19; 10:38) Do you not believe that I am in the Father
and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak
on My own authority. But the Father who lives in Me does the works.
11 (Jn 5:36; 10:38) Believe Me that I am in the Father, and the Father
is in Me. Or else believe Me on account of the works themselves.
12 (Mt 21:21; Jn 14:28) Truly, truly I say to you, he who believes in Me
will do the works that I do also. And he will do greater works than these,
because I am going to My Father.
13 (Mt 7:7; Jn 13:31) I will do whatever you ask in My name, that the Father
may be glorified in the Son.
14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.
[1] Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
[2] In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would
have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
[3] And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and
receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
[4] And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
[5] Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how
can we know the way?
[6] Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man
cometh unto the Father, but by me.
[7] If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from
henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
[8] Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
[9] Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet
hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the
Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
[10] Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me?
the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father
that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
[11] Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else
believe me for the very works' sake.
[12] Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works
that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do;
because I
go unto my Father.
[13] And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father
may be glorified in the Son.
[14] If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
The Promise of the Spirit
15 (Eph 6:24) "If you love Me, keep My commandments.
16 (Jn 15:26; 14:26; 1Jn 2:1) I will pray the Father, and He will give you
another Counselor, that He may be with you forever:
17 (Jn 15:26; 16:13; 1Co 2:14) the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot
receive, for it does not see Him, neither does it know Him. But you know Him,
for He lives with you, and will be in you.
18 (Jn 14:3) I will not leave you fatherless. I will come to you.
19 (Jn 7:33; 16:16) Yet a little while and the world will see Me no more.
But you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also.
20 (Jn 10:38; 14:10) On that day you will know that I am in My Father,
and you are in Me, and I am in you.
21 (Jn 14:15; 16:27) He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one
who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father. And I will love
him and will reveal Myself to him."
22 (Lk 6:16; Ac 1:13) Then Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, "Lord, how is it
that You will reveal Yourself to us, but not to the world?"
23 (Jn 14:15; 14:21) Jesus answered him, "If a man loves Me, he will keep
My word. My Father will love him, and We will come to him, and make Our home
with him.
24 (Jn 7:16; 14:10) He who does not love Me does not keep My words.
The word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father's who sent Me.
25 "I have spoken these things to you while I am still with you.
26 (Jn 15:26; 16:7) But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father
will send in My name, will teach you everything and remind you of all that
I told you.
27 (Jn 16:33; Php 4:7; Col 3:15) Peace I leave with you.
My peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you.
Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
28 (Jn 14:12; 14:18) "You have heard Me say to you, 'I am going away
and am returning to you.' If you loved Me, you would rejoice
because I said, 'I am going to the Father,' for My Father is greater than I.
29 (Jn 13:19) Now I have told you before it happens so that, when it happens,
you may believe.
30 (Jn 12:31; 2Co 4:4; Heb 4:15) After this I will not speak much with you,
for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over Me.
31 (Jn 10:18; 12:49) But I do as the Father has commanded Me
so that the world may know that I love the Father.
"Rise, let us go from here.
[15] If ye love me, keep my commandments.
[16] And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter,
that he may abide with you for ever;
[17] Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it
seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with
you, and shall be in you.
[18] I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
[19] Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me:
because I live, ye shall live also.
[20] At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I
in you.
[21] He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth
me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him,
and will manifest myself to him.
[22] Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt
manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
[23] Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my
words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our
abode with him.
[24] He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye
hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.
[25] These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.
[26] But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send
in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your
remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
[27] Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world
giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be
afraid.
[28] Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you.
If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for
my Father is greater than I.
[29] And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come
to pass, ye might believe.
[30] Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world
cometh, and hath nothing in me.
[31] But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father
gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
John 15:1-17
Jesus the True Vine
1 (Isa 5:1-7; 1Co 3:9) "I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.
2 (Mt 3:10; 13:12) Every branch in Me that bears no fruit, He takes away.
And every branch that bears fruit, He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.
3 (Jn 13:10; 17:17) You are already clean through the word
which I have spoken to you.
4 (1Jn 2:6; Jn 6:56; Gal 2:20) Remain in Me, as I also remain in you.
As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it remains in the vine,
neither can you, unless you remain in Me.
5 (Php 4:13; Jn 15:16) "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who remains
in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit. For without Me you can do nothing.
6 (Mt 13:41; Jn 15:2) If a man does not remain in Me, he is thrown out
as a branch and withers. And they gather them and throw them into the fire,
and they are burned.
7 (Jn 14:13; 15:16) If you remain in Me, and My words remain in you,
you will ask whatever you desire, and it shall be done for you.
8 (Mt 5:16; Jn 8:31) My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit;
so you will be My disciples.
9 (Jn 17:26) "As the Father loved Me, I also loved you. Remain in My love.
10 (Jn 14:15; 8:29; 17:4) If you keep My commandments, you will remain
in My love, even as I have kept My Father's commandments
and remain in His love.
11 (Jn 17:13; 16:24) I have spoken these things to you, that My joy
may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.
12 (Jn 13:34; 1Jn 3:23) This is My commandment: that you love one another,
as I have loved you.
13 (Jn 10:11; 10:15) Greater love has no man than this: that a man lay down
his life for his friends.
14 (Mt 12:50; Lk 12:4) You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.
15 (Jn 8:26; 15:20) I no longer call you servants, for a servant does
not know what his master does. But I have called you friends,
for everything that I have heard from My Father have I made known to you.
16 (Jn 13:18; 6:70You did not choose Me, but I chose you, and appointed you,
that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain,
that the Father may give you whatever you ask Him in My name.
17 (Jn 15:12) This I command you: that you love one another.
[1] I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
[2] Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every
branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
[3] Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
[4] Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself,
except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
[5] I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him,
the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
[6] If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered;
and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
[7] If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will,
and it shall be done unto you.
[8] Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be
my disciples.
[9] As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
[10] If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have
kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
[11] These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you,
and that your joy might be full.
[12] This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
[13] Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for
his friends.
[14] Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
[15] Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what
his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have
heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
[16] Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye
should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that
whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
[17] These things I command you, that ye love one another.

Radiating God's Goodness
Romans 12:16-21
Rules of the Christian Life
16 (Ro 11:25; 15:5) Be of the same mind toward one another.
Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly.
Do not pretend to be wiser than you are.
17 (Pr 20:22; Mt 5:39) Repay no one evil for evil. Commend what is
honest in the sight of all men.
18 (Mk 9:50; Ro 14:19; Mt 5:9) If it is possible, as much as it depends
on you, live peaceably with all men.
19 (Dt 32:35; Pr 24:29) Beloved, do not avenge yourselves,
but rather give place to God's wrath, for it is written:
"Vengeance is Mine. I will repay,"(Dt 32:35.) says the Lord.
20 (Pr 25:21-22; Mt 5:44) Therefore
"If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him a drink;
for in doing so you will heap coals of fire on his head."(Pr 25:21-22.)
21 (1Pe 3:9) Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
[16] Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but
condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
[17] Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight
of all men.
[18] If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all
men.
[19] Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto
wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
[20] Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him
drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
[21] Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
Where were the packages? An inner-city church was having problems receiving
deliveries. Although its office staff requested that online orders be dropped
off inside the building, the goods were regularly left outside on the street,
and some items were never received.
Church workers were understandably vexed, but instead of griping on the
company's customer service hotline, the church's employees created a snack
station inside the building and invited the delivery people to stop in for
food and water. Before long, packages began to show up at the right place at
the right time, and the church was able to "deliver' a message to the
couriers: We care about you as people, not just service providers.
Often, we can change distressing situations through kindness. Although our
natural response might be to find fault and hold on to anger, the apostle
Paul challenges us to let God's goodness radiate through us, even when we feel
it's undeserved. Through the Holy Spirit's power and with His wisdom, we can
show kindness by being hospitable, thoughtful, and helpful (Romans 12:13-14).
Even if this seems ineffective, we know it pleases God because the Bible
encourages us, "If it is possible, as far as it depends on you,
live at peace with everyone" (v. 18).
By: Jennifer Benson Schuldt
Reflect & Pray
When was the last time you traded anger for love?
How might caring for others show the world God's true nature?
Dear God, You've been so kind to me. Please show me how
to change my corner of the world by passing Your love on to others.

Week 4 - The Blessings of Grace Day 1 - The Joy of Confessing Christ
Romans 10:9-10
9 (Lk 12:8; Php 2:11)that if you confess with your mouth
Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from
the dead, you will be saved,
10 for with the heart one believes unto righteousness,
and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation
[9] That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt
believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be
saved.
[10] For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth
confession is made unto salvation.
Teena, a college freshman, has just committed her life to Christ,
but she was apprehensive about telling anyone - until Bill appeared
on the scene. He plunked his coffee cup down on the table and smiled.
"I heard something exciting happened to you yesterday, Teena"
"Yeah", Teena paused and looked around, as if seeking an escape route.
"I , uh, well, I did it"
"Did what?"
"Well, I, ah, gave my life to God."
"That's wonderful!" Bill exclaimed.
He was still talking with Teena and encouraging he in her decision
when Maria walked by.
"Maria!" Bill called. "Teena wants to tell you something!"
Teena gasped , open-mouthed, then stammered,
" I - I committed my life to Christ."
Maria , similarly enthuasiatic, encouraged Teena in her commitment,
and within half an hour Teena was stopping her friends to tell them,
"Guess what? I've become a Christian! I belng to Jesus now!"
Teena had already surrendered her heart to Christ.
But when she confessed her decision aloud to others,
the truth of that transformation was confirmed by her.
Many of us have been raised to believe that 'faith is a private matter',
not to be discussed in polite company. Yet Paul makes clear the connection
between heart commitment and verbal confession. Just as my love for family
and friends deepens as I tell them I love them, so a person's love
for Christ is confirmed and stabilised
by speaking of that commitment to others.
Application
a) Have I been reluctant to tell others of my faith in Christ? Why?
b) What happens within me when I do tell others of my love for the Lord?
4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland
2 Cor 8:9
9 (Mt 20:28; 2Co 6:10; 13:14) For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor,
that through His poverty you might be rich.
9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich,

God's Freeing Forgiveness
Eph 1:3-8a

our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual
blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,
4 (Eph 5:27; Col 1:22) just as He chose us in Him
before the foundation of the world, to be holy
and blameless before Him in love;
5 (Ro 8:29-30; Eph 1:11) He predestined us to adoption as sons
to Himself through Jesus Christ according to the good pleasure
of His will,
6 (Mt 3:17; Eph 1:12) to the praise of the glory of His grace
which He graciously bestowed on us in the Beloved.

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.

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.

6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)
Newfoundland & Labrador
Total population 527000
Muslim population (est.) 2065
As of Autumn 2014, St. John's does not have a local CNMM network. Pray with us
for God's people to come together in prayer
and cooperative efforts to reach Muslims with the Good News.
St. John's has one mosque and 2 more musallas , or prayer locations, which
may grow into mosques of their own. The mosque is called Masjid an Noor,
The Mosque of the Light, and mosque historical documents record a trip in 1986
to Saudi Arabia to raise funds for the land purchase and construction costs.
A small number of Muslim families had come prior to 1964, but moved on to
other places after a short time. After this date, a small community began
to remain and grow , reaching about 25 families in the 1980s. A number
of international students also join the community annually
ranging from 25 to 60.
In 2014 the mosque website reports the community is made up of some 200
families and many university students attending Memorial University. A
small number of native Newfoundlanders have also converted to the Islamic
faith, one saying of this religion in Newfoundland, "Islam is a growing face".
With the growth of the community, the current challenge is lack of space
in the mosque, which they are now looking at expanding.
Pray for
- The true Light of life, Jesus Christ, to be revealed to Muslims
in Newfoundland through the word, dreams, visions and answers to prayer.
- Christians to be as "wise as serpents and harmless as doves" regarding
Islam and reaching out in loving witness to Muslims in St. John's.
- for a dedicated, intentional witness to the growing number of Muslim
students on the university, college and trade school campuses.
Adding further
30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020
Under the Keep Praying page
When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month
and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days
of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that
usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,
of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be
decorated and festivals will be held.
For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the
distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of
Islam.
You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
which means Blessed Eid!"
Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you
know, and Muslims around the world:
- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions
in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about
unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such
movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three
decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim
relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 : 17 12 They were all amazed and perplexed, saying to each other,
"What does this mean?"
13 (1Co 14:23) Others mocking said, "These men are full of new wine."
Peter's Speech at Pentecost
14 (Ac 1:26) But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice
and said to them, "Men of Judea and all you who dwell in Jerusalem,
let this be known to you, and listen to my words.
15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose,
since it is the third hour of the day.
16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17 (Isa 44:3; Ac 10:45) 'In the last days it shall be,' says God,
'that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your young men shall see visions,
and your old men shall dream dreams.'
- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective
discipleship movements among Muslim people.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for
Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.
Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a
hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under
a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the
house."
Ideas for prayer
- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you
- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving
Christ among Muslim people -
Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."
- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims
throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!
My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further
call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity
(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, atheists, secular humanists, ...)

Today at Calvary Community
Church, Pastor Barry and Lori-Anne Regier on Why is Marriage so hard?
A) Honour the shared dignity God gave us.
Genesis 1:27
[27] So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he
him; male and female created he them.
Genesis 5:1-2
1 This is the book of the generations of Adam.
In the day when God created man, He made him in the likeness of God.
2 He created them male and female. He blessed them and called them Mankind
in the day when they were created
[1] This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created
man, in the likeness of God made he him;
[2] Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name
Adam, in the day when they were created.
B) Embrace the difference God designed
Genesis 2
Adam and Eve
18 Then the Lord God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone.
I will make him a helper suitable for him."
[18] And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I
will make him an help meet for him.
19 Out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every
bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them.
Whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name.
20 The man gave names to all the livestock, to the birds of the sky,
and to every beast of the field, but for Adam[f] there was not found a helper
suitable for him.
[19] And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and
every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call
them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name
thereof.
[20] And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to
every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for
him.
21 So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept.
Then He took one of his ribs and closed up the place with flesh.
22 Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man,
He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.
[21] And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam and he slept:
and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
[22] And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman,
and brought her unto the man.
23 Then Adam said,
"This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she will be called Woman,
for she was taken out of Man."
[23] And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she
shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
Ephesians 5:23
23 (Eph 1:22-23; Col 1:18) For the husband is the head of the wife,
just as Christ is the head and Savior of the church, which is His body.
[23] For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of
the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
C) Cultivate the one-flesh union God established.
Genesis 2:24-25
24 Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother
and be joined to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
[24] Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave
unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
25 They were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
[25] And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
(Just before going on I would like to preface the Serpent aka Satan
/ Lucifer;
From Isaiah 14
12 How are you fallen from heaven,
O Lucifer, son of the morning!
(- Please note Son of the Morning NOT Morning Star )
How you are cut down to the ground,
you who weaken the nations!
13 For you have said in your heart,
"I will ascend into heaven,
I will exalt my throne
above the stars of God;
I will sit also on the mount of the congregation,
in the recesses of the north;
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds,
I will be like the Most High."
15 Yet you shall be brought down to Hell,
to the sides of the pit.
Satan created a rebellion in Heaven
and From Jesus himself Luke 10:18 He said to them, "
I saw Satan as lightning fall from heaven." And so the spiritual war begins)
Philippians 4:8
8 (Ac 6:3; 10:22) Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever
things are honest, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure,
whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report,
if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think on these things.
[8] Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are
honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever
things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any
virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
4) Build a legacy that reflects God's purposes.
Genesis 1:28
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."
[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.
Philippians 1:6
A heart of Assurance
6 (1Co 1:8; Jn 6:29) I am confident of this very thing, that He who began
a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ.
[6] Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work
in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
1)John 13:31-38, Mark 14:27-31, Matthew 26:31-35 , Luke 22:31-38,
John 14 , John 15:1-17
John 13:31-38
The New Commandment
31 (Jn 7:39; 14:13) When he had gone out, Jesus then said,
"Now is the Son of Man glorified, and in Him God is glorified.
32 (Jn 12:23; 17:1) If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him
in Himself and will immediately glorify Him.
33 (Jn 7:33-34; 1Jn 2:1) "Little children, yet a little while I am with you.
You will seek Me. And as I said to the Jews, so now I tell you,
'Where I am going, you cannot come.'
34 (Lev 19:18; Eph 5:2) "A new commandment I give to you,
that you love one another, even as I have loved you,
that you also love one another.
35 (Jn 17:21) By this all men will know that you are My disciples,
if you have love for one another."
Peter's Denial Foretold
Mt 26:31-35; Mk 14:27-31; Lk 22:31-34
36 (2Pe 1:14; Jn 13:33) Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, where are You going?"
Jesus answered him, "Where I am going, you cannot follow Me now.
But you shall follow Me afterward."
37 Peter said to Him, "Lord, why can I not follow You now?
I will lay down my life for Your sake."
38 (Mk 14:30) Jesus answered Him, "Will you lay down your life for My sake?
Truly, truly I say to you, the rooster shall not crow until you have denied Me
three times."
[31] Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world
be cast out.
[32] And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
[33] This he said, signifying what death he should die.
[34] The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ
abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who
is this Son of man?
[35] Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you.
Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that
walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
[36] While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children
of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from
them.
[37] But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed
not on him:
[38] That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he
spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the
Lord been revealed?
Mark 14:27-31
Peter's Denial Foretold
Mt 26:31-35; Lk 22:31-34; Jn 13:36-38
27 (Zec 13:7; Mt 26:31) Jesus said to them,
"All of you will fall away on account of Me this night, for it is written:
'I will strike the shepherd,
and the sheep will be scattered.' (Zec 13:7).
28 (Mt 28:16; Mk 16:7) But after I have risen,
I will go before you to Galilee."
29 Peter said to Him, "Even if all fall away, I will not."
30 (Mk 14:66-72; Jn 13:38) Jesus said to him, "Truly, I say to you that
this day, during the night, before the rooster crows twice,
you will deny Me three times."
31 But he said more vehemently, "If I must die with You, I will not deny You."
They all said the same thing.
[27] And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this
night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be
scattered.
[28] But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.
[29] But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I.
[30] And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this day, even
in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice.
[31] But he spake the more vehemently, If I should die with thee, I will not
deny thee in any wise. Likewise also said they all.
Matthew 26:31-35
Peter's Denial Foretold
Mk 14:27-31; Lk 22:31-34; Jn 13:36-38
31 (Zec 13:7; Jn 16:32) Then Jesus said to them,
"All of you will fall away on account of Me this night,
for it is written:
'I will strike the shepherd,
and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered.' (Zec 13:7).
32 (Mt 28:10; 28:16) But after I have risen, I will go before you to Galilee."
33 (Lk 22:33) Peter answered, "Though all men will fall away on account
of You, yet I will never fall away."
34 (Jn 13:38; Mt 26:75) Jesus said to him, "Truly I say to you, this night,
before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times."
35 (Jn 13:37) Peter said to Him, "Though I should die with You, yet I will
not deny You." And all the disciples spoke in this manner.
[31] Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this
night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the
flock shall be scattered abroad.
[32] But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.
[33] Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended
because of thee, yet will I never be offended.
[34] Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before
the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
[35] Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny
thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.
Luke 22:31-38
Peter's Denial Foretold
31 (Am 9:9; Job 1:6-12) Then the Lord said, "Simon, Simon, listen!
Satan has demanded to have you to sift you as wheat.
32 (Jn 21:15-17; Ro 8:34) But I have prayed for you that your faith
may not fail. And when you have repented, strengthen your brothers."
33 (Mt 26:33-35; Mk 14:29) He said to Him, "Lord, I am ready to go
with You to prison and to death."
34 (Mt 26:34; Mk 14:30) He said, "I tell you, Peter, before the rooster
crows today, you will deny three times that you know Me."
[31] And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have
you, that he may sift you as wheat:
[32] But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art
converted, strengthen thy brethren.
[33] And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into
prison, and to death.
[34] And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day,
before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.
Purse, Bag, and Sword
35 (Lk 9:3; Mt 10:9-10) Then He said to them, "When I sent you without purse
or bag or sandals, did you lack anything?"
They said, "Nothing."
36 He said to them, "But now, let him who has a purse take it and also a bag.
And let him who has no sword sell his garment and buy one.
37 (Isa 53:12) For I tell you, what is written must yet be accomplished in Me,
'And He was numbered with the transgressors.'(Isa 53:12.)
Indeed, what is written concerning Me has a fulfillment."
38 They said, "Lord, look, here are two swords."
He said to them, "It is enough."
[35] And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and
shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.
[36] Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it,
and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment,
and buy one.
[37] For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished
in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things
concerning me have an end.
[38] And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto
them, It is enough.
John 14
John 14
Jesus the Way to the Father
1 (Jn 12:44; 16:22-23) "Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God.
Believe also in Me.
2 (Jn 13:33; 13:36) In My Father's house are many dwelling places. If it were
not so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you.
3 (Jn 12:26; 14:28) And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again
and receive you to Myself, that where I am, you may be also.
4 You know where I am going, and you know the way."
5 (Jn 11:16) Thomas said to Him, "Lord, we do not know where You are going.
How can we know the way?"
6 (Jn 10:9; 1:14; Ac 4:12) Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth,
and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
7 (Jn 8:19) If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also.
From now on you do know Him and have seen Him."
8 Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father,
and that is sufficient for us."
9 (Heb 1:3; Jn 12:45; Col 1:15) Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you
such a long time, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen
Me has seen the Father. So how can you say, 'Show us the Father'?
10 (Jn 5:19; 10:38) Do you not believe that I am in the Father
and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak
on My own authority. But the Father who lives in Me does the works.
11 (Jn 5:36; 10:38) Believe Me that I am in the Father, and the Father
is in Me. Or else believe Me on account of the works themselves.
12 (Mt 21:21; Jn 14:28) Truly, truly I say to you, he who believes in Me
will do the works that I do also. And he will do greater works than these,
because I am going to My Father.
13 (Mt 7:7; Jn 13:31) I will do whatever you ask in My name, that the Father
may be glorified in the Son.
14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.
[1] Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
[2] In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would
have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
[3] And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and
receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
[4] And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
[5] Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how
can we know the way?
[6] Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man
cometh unto the Father, but by me.
[7] If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from
henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
[8] Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
[9] Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet
hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the
Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
[10] Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me?
the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father
that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
[11] Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else
believe me for the very works' sake.
[12] Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works
that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do;
because I
go unto my Father.
[13] And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father
may be glorified in the Son.
[14] If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
The Promise of the Spirit
15 (Eph 6:24) "If you love Me, keep My commandments.
16 (Jn 15:26; 14:26; 1Jn 2:1) I will pray the Father, and He will give you
another Counselor, that He may be with you forever:
17 (Jn 15:26; 16:13; 1Co 2:14) the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot
receive, for it does not see Him, neither does it know Him. But you know Him,
for He lives with you, and will be in you.
18 (Jn 14:3) I will not leave you fatherless. I will come to you.
19 (Jn 7:33; 16:16) Yet a little while and the world will see Me no more.
But you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also.
20 (Jn 10:38; 14:10) On that day you will know that I am in My Father,
and you are in Me, and I am in you.
21 (Jn 14:15; 16:27) He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one
who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father. And I will love
him and will reveal Myself to him."
22 (Lk 6:16; Ac 1:13) Then Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, "Lord, how is it
that You will reveal Yourself to us, but not to the world?"
23 (Jn 14:15; 14:21) Jesus answered him, "If a man loves Me, he will keep
My word. My Father will love him, and We will come to him, and make Our home
with him.
24 (Jn 7:16; 14:10) He who does not love Me does not keep My words.
The word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father's who sent Me.
25 "I have spoken these things to you while I am still with you.
26 (Jn 15:26; 16:7) But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father
will send in My name, will teach you everything and remind you of all that
I told you.
27 (Jn 16:33; Php 4:7; Col 3:15) Peace I leave with you.
My peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you.
Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
28 (Jn 14:12; 14:18) "You have heard Me say to you, 'I am going away
and am returning to you.' If you loved Me, you would rejoice
because I said, 'I am going to the Father,' for My Father is greater than I.
29 (Jn 13:19) Now I have told you before it happens so that, when it happens,
you may believe.
30 (Jn 12:31; 2Co 4:4; Heb 4:15) After this I will not speak much with you,
for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over Me.
31 (Jn 10:18; 12:49) But I do as the Father has commanded Me
so that the world may know that I love the Father.
"Rise, let us go from here.
[15] If ye love me, keep my commandments.
[16] And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter,
that he may abide with you for ever;
[17] Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it
seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with
you, and shall be in you.
[18] I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
[19] Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me:
because I live, ye shall live also.
[20] At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I
in you.
[21] He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth
me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him,
and will manifest myself to him.
[22] Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt
manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
[23] Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my
words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our
abode with him.
[24] He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye
hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.
[25] These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.
[26] But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send
in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your
remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
[27] Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world
giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be
afraid.
[28] Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you.
If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for
my Father is greater than I.
[29] And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come
to pass, ye might believe.
[30] Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world
cometh, and hath nothing in me.
[31] But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father
gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
John 15:1-17
Jesus the True Vine
1 (Isa 5:1-7; 1Co 3:9) "I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.
2 (Mt 3:10; 13:12) Every branch in Me that bears no fruit, He takes away.
And every branch that bears fruit, He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.
3 (Jn 13:10; 17:17) You are already clean through the word
which I have spoken to you.
4 (1Jn 2:6; Jn 6:56; Gal 2:20) Remain in Me, as I also remain in you.
As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it remains in the vine,
neither can you, unless you remain in Me.
5 (Php 4:13; Jn 15:16) "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who remains
in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit. For without Me you can do nothing.
6 (Mt 13:41; Jn 15:2) If a man does not remain in Me, he is thrown out
as a branch and withers. And they gather them and throw them into the fire,
and they are burned.
7 (Jn 14:13; 15:16) If you remain in Me, and My words remain in you,
you will ask whatever you desire, and it shall be done for you.
8 (Mt 5:16; Jn 8:31) My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit;
so you will be My disciples.
9 (Jn 17:26) "As the Father loved Me, I also loved you. Remain in My love.
10 (Jn 14:15; 8:29; 17:4) If you keep My commandments, you will remain
in My love, even as I have kept My Father's commandments
and remain in His love.
11 (Jn 17:13; 16:24) I have spoken these things to you, that My joy
may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.
12 (Jn 13:34; 1Jn 3:23) This is My commandment: that you love one another,
as I have loved you.
13 (Jn 10:11; 10:15) Greater love has no man than this: that a man lay down
his life for his friends.
14 (Mt 12:50; Lk 12:4) You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.
15 (Jn 8:26; 15:20) I no longer call you servants, for a servant does
not know what his master does. But I have called you friends,
for everything that I have heard from My Father have I made known to you.
16 (Jn 13:18; 6:70You did not choose Me, but I chose you, and appointed you,
that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain,
that the Father may give you whatever you ask Him in My name.
17 (Jn 15:12) This I command you: that you love one another.
[1] I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
[2] Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every
branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
[3] Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
[4] Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself,
except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
[5] I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him,
the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
[6] If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered;
and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
[7] If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will,
and it shall be done unto you.
[8] Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be
my disciples.
[9] As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
[10] If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have
kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
[11] These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you,
and that your joy might be full.
[12] This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
[13] Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for
his friends.
[14] Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
[15] Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what
his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have
heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
[16] Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye
should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that
whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
[17] These things I command you, that ye love one another.

Radiating God's Goodness
Romans 12:16-21
Rules of the Christian Life
16 (Ro 11:25; 15:5) Be of the same mind toward one another.
Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly.
Do not pretend to be wiser than you are.
17 (Pr 20:22; Mt 5:39) Repay no one evil for evil. Commend what is
honest in the sight of all men.
18 (Mk 9:50; Ro 14:19; Mt 5:9) If it is possible, as much as it depends
on you, live peaceably with all men.
19 (Dt 32:35; Pr 24:29) Beloved, do not avenge yourselves,
but rather give place to God's wrath, for it is written:
"Vengeance is Mine. I will repay,"(Dt 32:35.) says the Lord.
20 (Pr 25:21-22; Mt 5:44) Therefore
"If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him a drink;
for in doing so you will heap coals of fire on his head."(Pr 25:21-22.)
21 (1Pe 3:9) Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
[16] Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but
condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
[17] Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight
of all men.
[18] If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all
men.
[19] Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto
wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
[20] Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him
drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
[21] Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
Where were the packages? An inner-city church was having problems receiving
deliveries. Although its office staff requested that online orders be dropped
off inside the building, the goods were regularly left outside on the street,
and some items were never received.
Church workers were understandably vexed, but instead of griping on the
company's customer service hotline, the church's employees created a snack
station inside the building and invited the delivery people to stop in for
food and water. Before long, packages began to show up at the right place at
the right time, and the church was able to "deliver' a message to the
couriers: We care about you as people, not just service providers.
Often, we can change distressing situations through kindness. Although our
natural response might be to find fault and hold on to anger, the apostle
Paul challenges us to let God's goodness radiate through us, even when we feel
it's undeserved. Through the Holy Spirit's power and with His wisdom, we can
show kindness by being hospitable, thoughtful, and helpful (Romans 12:13-14).
Even if this seems ineffective, we know it pleases God because the Bible
encourages us, "If it is possible, as far as it depends on you,
live at peace with everyone" (v. 18).
By: Jennifer Benson Schuldt
Reflect & Pray
When was the last time you traded anger for love?
How might caring for others show the world God's true nature?
Dear God, You've been so kind to me. Please show me how
to change my corner of the world by passing Your love on to others.

Week 4 - The Blessings of Grace Day 1 - The Joy of Confessing Christ
Romans 10:9-10
9 (Lk 12:8; Php 2:11)that if you confess with your mouth
Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from
the dead, you will be saved,
10 for with the heart one believes unto righteousness,
and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation
[9] That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt
believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be
saved.
[10] For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth
confession is made unto salvation.
Teena, a college freshman, has just committed her life to Christ,
but she was apprehensive about telling anyone - until Bill appeared
on the scene. He plunked his coffee cup down on the table and smiled.
"I heard something exciting happened to you yesterday, Teena"
"Yeah", Teena paused and looked around, as if seeking an escape route.
"I , uh, well, I did it"
"Did what?"
"Well, I, ah, gave my life to God."
"That's wonderful!" Bill exclaimed.
He was still talking with Teena and encouraging he in her decision
when Maria walked by.
"Maria!" Bill called. "Teena wants to tell you something!"
Teena gasped , open-mouthed, then stammered,
" I - I committed my life to Christ."
Maria , similarly enthuasiatic, encouraged Teena in her commitment,
and within half an hour Teena was stopping her friends to tell them,
"Guess what? I've become a Christian! I belng to Jesus now!"
Teena had already surrendered her heart to Christ.
But when she confessed her decision aloud to others,
the truth of that transformation was confirmed by her.
Many of us have been raised to believe that 'faith is a private matter',
not to be discussed in polite company. Yet Paul makes clear the connection
between heart commitment and verbal confession. Just as my love for family
and friends deepens as I tell them I love them, so a person's love
for Christ is confirmed and stabilised
by speaking of that commitment to others.
Application
a) Have I been reluctant to tell others of my faith in Christ? Why?
b) What happens within me when I do tell others of my love for the Lord?

before the foundation of the world, to be holy
and blameless before Him in love;
5 (Ro 8:29-30; Eph 1:11) He predestined us to adoption as sons
to Himself through Jesus Christ according to the good pleasure
of His will,
6 (Mt 3:17; Eph 1:12) to the praise of the glory of His grace
which He graciously bestowed on us in the Beloved.

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,

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.

6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)
Newfoundland & Labrador
Total population 527000
Muslim population (est.) 2065
As of Autumn 2014, St. John's does not have a local CNMM network. Pray with us
for God's people to come together in prayer
and cooperative efforts to reach Muslims with the Good News.
St. John's has one mosque and 2 more musallas , or prayer locations, which
may grow into mosques of their own. The mosque is called Masjid an Noor,
The Mosque of the Light, and mosque historical documents record a trip in 1986
to Saudi Arabia to raise funds for the land purchase and construction costs.
A small number of Muslim families had come prior to 1964, but moved on to
other places after a short time. After this date, a small community began
to remain and grow , reaching about 25 families in the 1980s. A number
of international students also join the community annually
ranging from 25 to 60.
In 2014 the mosque website reports the community is made up of some 200
families and many university students attending Memorial University. A
small number of native Newfoundlanders have also converted to the Islamic
faith, one saying of this religion in Newfoundland, "Islam is a growing face".
With the growth of the community, the current challenge is lack of space
in the mosque, which they are now looking at expanding.
Pray for
- The true Light of life, Jesus Christ, to be revealed to Muslims
in Newfoundland through the word, dreams, visions and answers to prayer.
- Christians to be as "wise as serpents and harmless as doves" regarding
Islam and reaching out in loving witness to Muslims in St. John's.
- for a dedicated, intentional witness to the growing number of Muslim
students on the university, college and trade school campuses.

30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020
Under the Keep Praying page
When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month
and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days
of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that
usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,
of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be
decorated and festivals will be held.
For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the
distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of
Islam.
You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
which means Blessed Eid!"
Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you
know, and Muslims around the world:
- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions
in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about
unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such
movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three
decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim
relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 : 17 12 They were all amazed and perplexed, saying to each other,
"What does this mean?"
13 (1Co 14:23) Others mocking said, "These men are full of new wine."
Peter's Speech at Pentecost
14 (Ac 1:26) But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice
and said to them, "Men of Judea and all you who dwell in Jerusalem,
let this be known to you, and listen to my words.
15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose,
since it is the third hour of the day.
16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17 (Isa 44:3; Ac 10:45) 'In the last days it shall be,' says God,
'that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your young men shall see visions,
and your old men shall dream dreams.'
- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective
discipleship movements among Muslim people.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for
Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.
Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a
hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under
a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the
house."
Ideas for prayer
- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you
- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving
Christ among Muslim people -
Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."
- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims
throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!
