6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)



Alberta



Quick facts on Muslims in Alberta



Alberta 2015 population 4121700



est Muslim Population 195240



CNMM Networks: Calgary and Edmonton



It is estimated that Calgary has 82000 Muslims and Edmonton another 50000 .

Alberta may have a total as high as 195240 today.

Calgary is notable as the first Canadian city with a Muslim mayor. It's

become a prominent place of Islamic fundamentalism.

Edmonton's Muslim population is very diverse, with the largest group

coming from Tanzania, followed by Somalia, and then North African countries

such as Egypt, Morocco, etc.

Muslims are coming to faith in Jesus! They overcome huge spiritual,

emotional and cultural hurdles to follow Christ. Yet their challenges still

continue, especially in growing in discipleship. They often fell lost in our

Western congregations, and equally lost trying to find a church body with whom

they can identify. some are even being lured into Christian cult groups.



Please join us in praying for:

- The church to reach out to the growing Muslim populations in Alberta.

- for Canadian churches to start contextualised discipleship ministries to

Muslim-background believers.

- for Muslm-background believers to be well grounded spiritually and socially

in their faith and the Church.

- and for Muslim-background believers to share their faith with their

not-yet-believing family and friendship networks.

- for Farsi and Arabic fellowships to grow in spiritual maturity and outreach.

- for current and new workers among Muslims in these growing Muslim

in these growing Muslim population centres.

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



Under the Keep Praying page



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

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

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

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

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

decorated and festivals will be held.



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

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

Islam.



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

which means Blessed Eid!"



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

know, and Muslims around the world:



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

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

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

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

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

relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.

Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,

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

your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.

18 Even on My menservants and maidservants

I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.

19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:

blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,

and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.

21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]



Footnotes

Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.

- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective

discipleship movements among Muslim people.

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

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

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

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

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

house."



Ideas for prayer



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

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

Christ among Muslim people -

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

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

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



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

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

(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, ...) .

Pray for the direction you take to the Ever lasting loving God

Leviticus 4

[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[2] Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin through

ignorance against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things

which ought not to be done, and shall do against any of them:

[3] If the priest that is anointed do sin according to the sin of the

people; then let him bring for his sin, which he hath sinned, a young

bullock without blemish unto the LORD for a sin offering.

[4] And he shall bring the bullock unto the door of the tabernacle of the

congregation before the LORD; and shall lay his hand upon the bullock's

head, and kill the bullock before the LORD.

[5] And the priest that is anointed shall take of the bullock's blood, and

bring it to the tabernacle of the congregation:

[6] And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the

blood seven times before the LORD, before the vail of the sanctuary.

[7] And the priest shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar

of sweet incense before the LORD, which is in the tabernacle of the

congregation: and shall pour all the blood of the bullock at the bottom of

the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of

the congregation.

[8] And he shall take off from it all the fat of the bullock for the sin

offering; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon

the inwards,

[9] And the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the

flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away,

[10] As it was taken off from the bullock of the sacrifice of peace

offerings: and the priest shall burn them upon the altar of the burnt

offering.

[11] And the skin of the bullock, and all his flesh, with his head, and with

his legs, and his inwards, and his dung,

[12] Even the whole bullock shall he carry forth without the camp unto a

clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn him on the wood with

fire: where the ashes are poured out shall he be burnt.

[13] And if the whole congregation of Israel sin through ignorance, and the

thing be hid from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done somewhat

against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which should

not be done, and are guilty;

[14] When the sin, which they have sinned against it, is known, then the

congregation shall offer a young bullock for the sin, and bring him before

the tabernacle of the congregation.

[15] And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands upon the head

of the bullock before the LORD: and the bullock shall be killed before the

LORD.

[16] And the priest that is anointed shall bring of the bullock's blood to

the tabernacle of the congregation:

[17] And the priest shall dip his finger in some of the blood, and sprinkle

it seven times before the LORD, even before the vail.

[18] And he shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar which is

before the LORD, that is in the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall

pour out all the blood at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering,

which is at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

[19] And he shall take all his fat from him, and burn it upon the altar.

[20] And he shall do with the bullock as he did with the bullock for a sin

offering, so shall he do with this: and the priest shall make an atonement

for them, and it shall be forgiven them.

[21] And he shall carry forth the bullock without the camp, and burn him as

he burned the first bullock: it is a sin offering for the congregation.

[22] When a ruler hath sinned, and done somewhat through ignorance against

any of the commandments of the LORD his God concerning things which should

not be done, and is guilty;

[23] Or if his sin, wherein he hath sinned, come to his knowledge; he shall

bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a male without blemish:

[24] And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat, and kill it in the

place where they kill the burnt offering before the LORD: it is a sin

offering.

[25] And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his

finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall

pour out his blood at the bottom of the altar of burnt offering.

[26] And he shall burn all his fat upon the altar, as the fat of the

sacrifice of peace offerings: and the priest shall make an atonement for him

as concerning his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.

[27] And if any one of the common people sin through ignorance, while he

doeth somewhat against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things

which ought not to be done, and be guilty;

[28] Or if his sin, which he hath sinned, come to his knowledge: then he

shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a female without blemish, for

his sin which he hath sinned.

[29] And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay

the sin offering in the place of the burnt offering.

[30] And the priest shall take of the blood thereof with his finger, and put

it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out all the

blood thereof at the bottom of the altar.

[31] And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat is taken away

from off the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn it upon

the altar for a sweet savour unto the LORD; and the priest shall make an

atonement for him, and it shall be forgiven him.

[32] And if he bring a lamb for a sin offering, he shall bring it a female

without blemish.

[33] And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay

it for a sin offering in the place where they kill the burnt offering

[34] And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his

finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall

pour out all the blood thereof at the bottom of the altar:

[35] And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat of the lamb is

taken away from the sacrifice of the peace offerings; and the priest shall

burn them upon the altar, according to the offerings made by fire unto the

LORD: and the priest shall make an atonement for his sin that he hath

committed, and it shall be forgiven him.

Be Careful! Alyson Kieda



James 4:1-10



Friendship With the World



1 (Ro 7:23; 1Pe 2:11) Where do wars and fights among you come from?

Do they not come from your lusts that war in your body?

2 You lust and do not have, so you kill.

You desire to have and cannot obtain. You fight and war.

Yet you do not have, because you do not ask.

3 (1Jn 5:14; 3:22) You ask, and do not receive, because you ask amiss,

that you may spend it on your passions.

4 (Jn 15:19; Ro 8:7) You adulterers and adulteresses, do you not know

that the friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore

will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

5 Do you think that the Scripture says in vain, "He yearns jealously

for the spirit that lives in us"(The source of this quotation is uncertain.)?

6 (Pr 3:34; 1Pe 5:5) But He gives more grace. For this reason it says:

"God resists the proud,

but gives grace to the humble."(Pr 3:34.)

7 (Eph 4:27; 1Pe 5:8-9) Therefore submit yourselves to God.

Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

8 (2Ch 15:2; Jas 1:8) Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.

Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

9 (Lk 6:25; Pr 14:13) Grieve and mourn and weep.

Let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to ­dejection.

10 (Mt 23:12) Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord,

and He will lift you up.



[1] From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even

of your lusts that war in your members?

[2] Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain:

ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.

[3] Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it

upon your lusts.

[4] Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the

world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world

is the enemy of God.

[5] Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth

in us lusteth to envy?

[6] But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud,

but giveth grace unto the humble.

[7] Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee

from you.

[8] Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye

sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

[9] Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to

mourning, and your joy to heaviness.

[10] Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.



After years of struggle and crying out in prayer, Frank quit drinking. He

attributes his continued sobriety to God's work in his life. But he also made

some important changes. He no longer kept alcohol in the house, watched for

warning signs in his thinking and moods, and was wary of certain situations.

He leaned on God and knew not to leave an opening for temptation or sin.



"Be alert and of sober mind," the apostle Peter warned. "Your enemy the devil

prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour"

(1 Peter 5:8). Peter knew we needed to be watchful because the devil's attacks

are often unexpected—when it seems like our life couldn’t be better, or we

think we'd never be tempted in a certain area.



James too warned his readers to submit to God and "resist the devil." When we

do, our enemy "will flee" (James 4:7). The best way to resist him is to stay

close to God through prayer and time in Scripture. When we do, God comes near

to us (v. through His Spirit (Romans 5:5). James also offered this

encouragement: "Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up"

(James 4:10).



We all face challenging moments in life when we're tempted and struggle.

We can rest knowing that God wants us to succeed and overcome.

He is with us in our troubles.



Reflect & Pray



When do you seem to be more susceptible to temptation?

How has God helped you in those times?



Dear God, please help me draw near to You instead

of pulling away. I need Your daily guidance to keep me on the right path.



Learn how the Spirit fights on your behalf.

Week 6 Showing Grace to Others - Day 6 Reconciliation



2 Cor 5:18-19



18 All this is from God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ

and has given to us the ministry of reconciliation,

19 that is, that God was

in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their sins

against them, and has entrusted to us the message of reconciliation.



18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus

Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

19 to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself,

not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us

the word of reconciliation.



When Paul writes in 2 Cor 5:17 that we become a "new creation" in Christ

Jesus, the story does not end there. The verses following give us direction

for tht new life in Christ. "All This", Paul says, referring to the miracle of

new life in Christ, "is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ

and gave us the ministry of reconciliation."

Reconciliation means to bring back together what was once separated. Man was

separated from God by sin, and God took the initiative to reconcile man to

himself. Our "ministry of reconciliation" as Christians is twofold: to draw

others to the Lord and to work for reconciliation between individuals.

Reconciliation is the ultimate goal of forgiveness. God, through his grace ,

extends forgiveness to us when we are still sinners, unrepentant,

undeserving. When we respond, we come into reconciliation with him

and are brought back into oneness. Likewise, when we extend the grace

of forgiveness to another, we are set free by the act of forgiving, but we

hope that the ultimate outcome will be reconciliation.

God shows us the pattern: he is the wronged party, yet he does not wait for

the offender to come to him, hat in hand. He takes a bold initiative, offering

forgiveness freely with out regard to merit. The pattern applies to us;

as the new life in Christ takes hold of us, we must reach out, and reach,

and keep on reaching, breaking down the barriers, taking the risk of

rejection so that we may come to reconciliation.



Application



a) What barriers stand between me and reconciliation with another person?



b) How can I take a risk and reach out to offer forgiveness and

reconciliation to them?



c) What kind of attitude do I need to be a "minister of reconciliation"?

2 Chr 31:21



21 And in every deed that he undertook in the service of the house

of God and with the law and commandment to seek out his God,

he did this with all his heart, and he found success.



21 And in every work that he began in the service of the house

of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God,

he did it with all his heart, and prospered.

God's Protection in Times of Trouble



Ps 27:1-6



PSALMS 27



A Psalm of David.



1 The Lord is my light and my salvation;

whom will I fear?

The Lord is the strength of my life;

of whom will I be afraid?

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) When the wicked came against me

to eat my flesh -

my enemies and my foes -

they stumbled and fell.

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) Though an army should encamp against me,

my heart will not fear;

though war should rise against me,

in this will I be confident.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) One thing I have asked from the Lord,

that will I seek after -

for me to dwell in the house of the Lord

all the days of my life,

to see the beauty of the Lord,

and to inquire in His temple.

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) For in the time of trouble

He will hide me in His pavilion;

in the shelter of His tabernacle He will hide me;

He will set me up on a rock.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8 - 9) Now my head will be lifted up

above my enemies encircling me;

therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle;

I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.



1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?

The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes,

came upon me to eat up my flesh,

They stumbled and fell.

3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear:

Though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.

4 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after;

That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life,

To behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.

5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion:

In the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me;

he shall set me up upon a rock.

6 And now shall mine head be lifted up,

Above mine enemies round about me:

Therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy;

I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.

your dwellings, that ye eat neither fat nor blood.



LEVITICUS 4



The Sin Offering



1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 (Lev 4:27; Ps 19:12) Speak to the children of Israel, saying:

When a person sins unintentionally against any of the commandments

of the Lord that should not be done, and he violates one of them,

3 (Lev 4:14; 9:2) if the anointed priest sins, so as to bring guilt

on the people, he shall bring for his sin that he has committed

a bull without blemish to the Lord for a sin offering.

4 (Lev 1:3-4) He shall bring the bull to the opening of the tent

of meeting before the Lord, and he shall lay his hand on the bull's head

and slaughter the bull before the Lord.

5 (Lev 16:14; 4:16-17) The anointed priest shall take some

of the bull's blood and bring it into the tent of meeting.

6 The priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle

some of the blood seven times before the Lord in front of the veil

of the sanctuary.

7 (Lev 8:15; 9:9; 16:18) Then the priest shall put some of the blood

on the horns of the altar of fragrant incense before the Lord

which is in the tent of meeting, and shall pour the rest of the blood

of the bull at the base of the altar of the burnt offering which is

at the door of the tent of meeting.

8 (Lev 3:3-5) Then he shall remove all the fat of the bull that is

for the sin offering - the fat that covers the entrails - and all the fat

that is on the entrails,

9 (Lev 3:4) and the two kidneys with the fat that is above them,

which is on the loins, and the appendage on the liver

which he shall remove with the kidneys,

10 just as these are removed from the bull of the peace sacrifice,

and the priest shall burn them on the altar of the burnt offering.

11 (Nu 19:5; Ex 29:14) The skin of the bull, and all its flesh,

with its head, its legs, its entrails, and its dung,

12 (Heb 13:11; Ex 29:14) all the rest of the bull,

he shall bring outside the camp to a ritually clean

("Clean: and "unclean" refer to ceremonial aspects of places,

objects, or people.) place at the ash pile and burn it on wood

with fire. It shall be burned on the ash heap.

13 (Lev 5:17; 5:2-5) If the whole congregation of Israel

commits an unintentional sin, and the matter is hidden

from the eyes of the assembly, and they do any one of the things

that by the commandments of the Lord should not be done,

and they are found guilty,

14 (Lev 4:3; 4:23) and the sin that they committed

against the commandment becomes known,

the congregation shall offer a bull for a sin offering,

and they will bring it before the tent of meeting.

15 (Lev 1:4) The elders of the congregation shall lay

their hands on the head of the bull before the Lord,

and the bull will be slaughtered before the Lord.

16 (Lev 4:5-12) The anointed priest shall bring

some of the bull's blood to the tent of meeting.

17 And the priest shall dip his finger in some of the blood

and sprinkle it seven times before the Lord in front of the veil.

18 He shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar that is before

the Lord, which is in the tent of meeting, and he shall pour all the rest

of the blood at the base of the altar of the burnt offering that is

at the opening of the tent of meeting.

19 He shall remove all the fat from it and burn it on the altar.

20 (Nu 15:25; Heb 10:10-12) He shall do to this bull just

as he did to the bull of the sin offering;

this is what he will do to it.

And the priest shall make atonement for them, and they shall be forgiven.

21 (Lev 16:15) He shall bring the bull outside the camp,

and he shall burn it just as he burned the first bull.

It is the sin offering of the congregation.

22 (Lev 4:2; 4:13) Whenever a leader sins,

and he does unintentionally any one of the things that

by the commandments of the Lord his God should not be done

and is found guilty,

23 (Lev 4:14) or his sin that he committed was made known to him,

he shall bring as his offering a male goat without blemish,

24 and he shall lay his hand on the head of the goat,

and he shall slaughter it in the place where they slaughter

the burnt offering before the Lord. It is a sin offering.

25 (Lev 4:7; 4:18) The priest shall take some of the blood

of the sin offering on his finger and put it on the horns

of the altar of the burnt offering, and he shall pour out its blood

at the base of the altar of the burnt offering.

26 (Lev 4:20; 3:5) And he shall burn all its fat on the altar,

like the fat of the peace sacrifice, and the priest shall make

atonement for him for his sin, and he shall be forgiven.

27 (Lev 4:2; Nu 15:27; Lev 4:13) If any one of the common people

should sin unintentionally by doing one of the things

that by the commandments of the Lord should not be done,

and is found guilty,

28 (Lev 4:23; 4:3; 4:32) or his sin that he committed

was made known to him, he shall bring as his offering

a female goat without blemish, for his sin that he committed.

29 (Lev 4:4; 4:24) He shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering,

and he shall slaughter the sin offering in the place of the burnt offering.

30 (Lev 4:7; 4:25) The priest shall take some of its blood on his finger

and put it on the horns of the altar of the burnt offering,

and he shall pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar.

31 (Lev 4:26; 4:35; 1:9) And he shall remove all its fat,

just as the fat is removed from the peace sacrifice,

and the priest shall burn it on the altar for a pleasing aroma to the Lord,

and the priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be forgiven.

32 (Lev 4:28; 1Pe 2:22; 3:18) And if he brings a sheep for a sin offering,

he shall bring a female without blemish,

33 and lay his hand on the head of the sin offering, and he shall

slaughter it for a sin offering in the place where they slaughter

the burnt offering.

34 (Lev 4:7; 4:25) The priest shall take some of the blood

of the sin offering on his finger and put it on the horns

of the altar of the burnt offering, and all the rest of its blood

he shall pour out at the base of the altar.

35 (Lev 4:26; 4:20) And he shall remove all the fat, just as

the fat of the sheep is removed from the peace sacrifice,

and the priest shall burn it on the altar as a food offering

to the Lord made by fire. And the priest shall make atonement

for his sin that he committed, and he shall be forgiven.

To implement Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) on FreeBSD using OpenSSL 3.5+, you are moving into the realm of Hybrid Key Exchange. This uses a combination of classical algorithms (like X25519) and PQ algorithms (like ML-KEM/Kyber) to ensure security even if one of the methods is later compromised.1. Generating Post-Quantum CertificatesOpenSSL 3.5/3.6 supports the OQS (Open Quantum Safe) provider logic. We will generate a ML-KEM (formerly Kyber) certificate.Bash# 1. Generate a Post-Quantum Private Key (using ML-KEM-768)

openssl genpkey -algorithm mlkem768 -out pq_server.key



# 2. Generate a CSR

openssl req -new -key pq_server.key -out pq_server.csr -subj "/CN=wayfinders.coop"



# 3. Sign the certificate (Self-signed for this example)

openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in pq_server.csr -signkey pq_server.key -out pq_server.crt

Note: Ensure your OpenSSL build has the oqs provider enabled in openssl.cnf.2. Nginx "Dual-Stack" ConfigurationNginx supports multiple certificate files.

[32] Thus was all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation

finished: and the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD

commanded Moses, so did they.

[33] And they brought the tabernacle unto Moses, the tent, and all his

furniture, his taches, his boards, his bars, and his pillars, and his

sockets,

[34] And the covering of rams' skins dyed red, and the covering of badgers'

skins, and the vail of the covering,

[35] The ark of the testimony, and the staves thereof, and the mercy seat,

[36] The table, and all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread,

[37] The pure candlestick, with the lamps thereof, even with the lamps to be

set in order, and all the vessels thereof, and the oil for light,

[38] And the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and

the hanging for the tabernacle door,

[39] The brasen altar, and his grate of brass, his staves, and all his

vessels, the laver and his foot,

[40] The hangings of the court, his pillars, and his sockets, and the

hanging for the court gate, his cords, and his pins, and all the vessels of

the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of the congregation,

[41] The cloths of service to do service in the holy place, and the holy

garments for Aaron the priest, and his sons' garments, to minister in the

priest's office.

[42] According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of

Israel made all the work.

[43] And Moses did look upon all the work, and, behold, they have done it as

the LORD had commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses blessed them.



EXODUS 40



The Tabernacle Erected



1 Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 (Ex 13:4; 26:30) On the first day of the first month you shall set up

the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.

3 (Nu 4:5; Ex 35:12) You shall put the ark of the testimony in it

and screen the ark with the veil.

4 You shall bring in the table

and arrange the things that are to be arranged on it,

and you shall bring in the lampstand and set up its lamps.

5 You shall set the gold altar of incense before the ark of the testimony

and put the curtain for the entrance to the tabernacle.

6 (Ex 40:29) You shall set the altar of the burnt offering in front

of the entrance of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.

7 You shall set the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar

and put water in it.

8 You shall set up the courtyard around it and hang up the curtain

at the courtyard gate.

9 (Lev 8:10) You shall take the anointing oil

and anoint the tabernacle and all that is in it and shall consecrate

it and all its furnishings, and it shall be holy.

10 (Ex 29:36 - 37) Then you shall anoint the altar of the burnt offering

and all its utensils, and consecrate the altar, and the altar shall be

most holy.

11 You shall anoint the basin and its stand, and consecrate it.

12 (Lev 8:1 - 13) Then you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance

of the tent of meeting and wash them with water.

13 (Ex 28:41) You shall put the holy garments on Aaron and anoint him

and consecrate him, so that he may minister to Me as a priest.

14 You shall bring his sons and clothe them with tunics.

15 (Nu 25:13) Then you shall anoint them just as you anointed their father,

so that they may minister to Me as priests, for their anointing will

surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.

16 Thus Moses did. According to all that the Lord commanded him, so he did.

17 (Nu 7:1) In the first month of the second year,

on the first day of the month, the tabernacle was erected.

18 Moses erected the tabernacle and fastened its sockets,

and set up its boards, and inserted its bars, and erected its pillars.

19 Then he spread the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering

of the tent on top of it, just as the Lord commanded Moses.

20 (Ex 16:34) He took the testimony and put it into the ark,

attached the poles to the ark, and put the mercy seat on top of the ark.

21 (Ex 26:33; 40:3) And he brought the ark into the tabernacle,

and set up the veil of the screening, and screened the ark of the testimony,

just as the Lord commanded Moses.

22 (Ex 26:35) Then he put the table in the tent of meeting on the north side

of the tabernacle outside the veil.

23 (Ex 25:30; 40:4) He set the bread in order on it before the Lord,

just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

24 And he put the lampstand in the tent of meeting, opposite the table,

on the south side of the tabernacle.

25 (Ex 25:37; 40:4 ) He lighted the lamps before the Lord,

just as the Lord commanded Moses.

26 (Ex 40:5) Then he put the gold altar in the tent

of meeting before the veil.

27 (Ex 30:7) And he burned fragrant incense on it,

just as the Lord commanded Moses.

28 (Ex 40:5) Then he set up the curtain at the entrance of the tabernacle.

29 (Ex 40:6) He put the altar of burnt offering by the entrance

of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting and offered

on it the burnt offering and the grain offering,

just as the Lord commanded Moses.

30 (Ex 40:7) Then he set the basin between the tent of meeting

and the altar and put water in it for washing.

31 It was there Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands

and their feet.

32 Whenever they went into the tent of meeting,

and whenever they came near the altar, they washed,

just as the Lord commanded Moses.

33 (Ex 40:8; 27:9 - 16) He erected the courtyard

all around the tabernacle and the altar,

and set up the curtain of the courtyard gate.

So Moses finished the work.



Exodus 40

[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[2] On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of

the tent of the congregation.

[3] And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and cover the ark

with the vail.

[4] And thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order the things that are

to be set in order upon it; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick, and

light the lamps thereof.

[5] And thou shalt set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of

the testimony, and put the hanging of the door to the tabernacle.

[6] And thou shalt set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of

the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.

[7] And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of the congregation and

the altar, and shalt put water therein.

[8] And thou shalt set up the court round about, and hang up the hanging at

the court gate.

[9] And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and

all that is therein, and shalt hallow it, and all the vessels thereof: and

it shall be holy.

[10] And thou shalt anoint the altar of the burnt offering, and all his

vessels, and sanctify the altar: and it shall be an altar most holy.

[11] And thou shalt anoint the laver and his foot, and sanctify it.

[12] And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle

of the congregation, and wash them with water.

[13] And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments, and anoint him, and

sanctify him; that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.

[14] And thou shalt bring his sons, and clothe them with coats:

[15] And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that

they may minister unto me in the priest's office: for their anointing shall

surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.

[16] Thus did Moses: according to all that the LORD commanded him, so did

he.

[17] And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first

day of the month, that the tabernacle was reared up.

[18] And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and fastened his sockets, and set

up the boards thereof, and put in the bars thereof, and reared up his

pillars.

[19] And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering

of the tent above upon it; as the LORD commanded Moses.

[20] And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the staves on

the ark, and put the mercy seat above upon the ark:

[21] And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the vail of the

covering, and covered the ark of the testimony; as the LORD commanded Moses.

[22] And he put the table in the tent of the congregation, upon the side of

the tabernacle northward, without the vail.

[23] And he set the bread in order upon it before the LORD; as the LORD had

commanded Moses.

[24] And he put the candlestick in the tent of the congregation, over

against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.

[25] And he lighted the lamps before the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.

[26] And he put the golden altar in the tent of the congregation before the

vail:

[27] And he burnt sweet incense thereon; as the LORD commanded Moses.

[28] And he set up the hanging at the door of the tabernacle.

[29] And he put the altar of burnt offering by the door of the tabernacle of

the tent of the congregation, and offered upon it the burnt offering and the

meat offering; as the LORD commanded Moses.

[30] And he set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the

altar, and put water there, to wash withal.

[31] And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet

thereat:

[32] When they went into the tent of the congregation, and when they came

near unto the altar, they washed; as the LORD commanded Moses.

[33] And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar,

and set up the hanging of the court gate. So Moses finished the work.



The Glory of the Lord



34 (Nu 9:15 - 23; Rev 15:8) Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting,

and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.

35 (1Ki 8:11) Moses was not able to enter into the tent of meeting

because the cloud settled on it,

and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.

36 (Ne 9:19; Nu 9:17) When the cloud was lifted up from over the tabernacle,

the children of Israel would set out in all their journeys.

37 (Nu 9:19 - 22) But if the cloud was not lifted up,

then they did not set out until the day that it was lifted.

38 (Ex 13:21; Nu 9:15) For the cloud of the Lord was on the tabernacle by day,

and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel,

throughout all their journeys.



[34] Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the

LORD filled the tabernacle.

[35] And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation,

because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the LORD filled the

tabernacle.

[36] And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children

of Israel went onward in all their journeys:

[37] But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the

day that it was taken up.

[38] For the cloud of the LORD was upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was

on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all

their journeys.

A Nonanxious Presence by John Blase



Psalm 4



PSALMS 4

For the Music Director. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.

1 Hear me when I call,

O God of my righteousness!

You have given me relief when I was in distress;

have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) O people, how long will you turn my glory into shame?

How long will you love vanity and seek after lies? Selah

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) Know that the Lord set apart the faithful for Himself;

the Lord hears when I call to Him.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) Tremble in awe, and do not sin.

Commune with your own heart on your bed,

and be still. Selah

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) Offer sacrifices of righteousness,

and trust in the Lord.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) Many are saying, "Who will show us any good?"

Lift up the light of Your face over us.

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) You have placed gladness in my heart

that is better than when their corn and their new wine abound.

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) I will both lie down in peace and sleep;

for You, Lord,

make me dwell safely and securely.



Psalms 4

[1] Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me

when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.

[2] O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long

will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.

[3] But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the

LORD will hear when I call unto him.

[4] Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed,

and be still. Selah.

[5] Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.

[6] There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up

the light of thy countenance upon us.

[7] Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their

corn and their wine increased.

[8] I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest

me dwell in safety.



In his 1985 book Generation to Generation, family therapist and Rabbi Edwin

Friedman introduced the phrase "a nonanxious presence." Friedman's thesis,

later articulated in A Failure of Nerve, is that "the climate of contemporary

America has become so chronically anxious that our society has gone into an

emotional regression that is toxic to well-defined leadership." Friedman

focused on how chronic anxiety spreads within a system - a family,

a workplace, a congregation. Yet in the same way, a leader can offer a

nonanxious presence that will spread through a system, becoming a person

of peace in the middle of a storm.



Psalm 4 is a psalm of David, written in the middle of one of life's storms.

David was in the grip of anxiety. So he cried out to God, "Give me relief

from my distress; have mercy on me and hear my prayer" (v. 1). While he was

fearful for his life, he was also aware that his followers were fearful too:

"Many, Lord, are asking, 'Who will bring us prosperity?'" (v. 6).



David's decision to trust God created a nonanxious presence in the presence

of anxiety! "In peace I will lie down and sleep," he said. David could rest

because "you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety" (v. .



We too can rest in the nonanxious presence God provides.

We can spread His peace wherever we go.



Reflect & Pray



What's a current situation causing you anxiety?

What would it look like to lead with a nonanxious presence?



You alone, God of peace, are my safety. May my

trust in You encourage others to do the same.

Week 6 Showing Grace to Others - Day 5 When you pray



Mark 11:25



25 And when you stand praying, forgive if you have anything against anyone,

so that your Father who is in heaven may also forgive you your sins.



25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any:

that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.



"My prayer don't seem to be very effective," a man told his pastor." I try

to make contact with God, but my prayers seem to hit the ceiling and bounce

back."

The pastor thought for a moment, then gently suggested,

"Is there someone in your life you haven't forgiven?"

"What do you mean?" The man's face flushed; the pastor has obviuosly struck

a nerve. "Well, I guess I've had some struggles with my mother ... and then,

my wife, and I ... ." The hidden truth came to light: the man was bound in

unforgiving relationships with five of the closest people to him.

Forgiveness is an essential element in prayer. For a very good reason,

worship services in liturgical churches place the confession of sin and the

absolution near the beginning of the service, before the reading of God's

Word, prayer, and the sermon. Forgiveness - both the Lord's forgiveness

of us and our forgiveness of others - clears the way for unhindered

communication between God and his people.

When we carry anger and bitterness, or even deeply buried, well-subliminated

unforgiveness, into the presence of God, our prayers will be affected. We can,

however, free the Holy Spirit to work in our lives and the lives of others

through forgiveness. We can choose to forgive in light of God's forgiveness

of us. And when we do, the channels are re-established;

we can pray in power and open ourselves to an awareness of his activity

in our lives.



Application



a) Have my prayers ever been affected by unforgiveness in my life?



b) Is there someone in my life whom I need to forgive,

whether or not I can work toward?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



2 Cor 9:8,11



8 God is able to make all grace abound toward you,

so that you, always having enough of everything,

may abound to every good work.

11 So you will be enriched in everything to all bountifulness,

which makes us give thanks to God.



8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having

all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:

11 being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through

us thanksgiving to God.



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



When you are Facing Pain and Suffering



Ps 9:9-12



9 The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed,

a refuge in times of trouble.

10 Those who know Your name will put their trust in You,

for You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.

11 Sing praises to the Lord who dwells in Zion;

declare His deeds among the people.

12 He who avenges deaths remembers them;

He does not forget the cry of the humble.

9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed,

10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee:

For thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

11 Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion:

Declare among the people his doings.

12 When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them:

He forgetteth not the cry of the humble.



Remember God's promises when You pray



The Lord's prayer



Matthew 6:9-13





9 "Therefore pray in this manner:

Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.

12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,

as we forgive our debtors.

13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."



6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)



Alberta



Quick facts on Muslims in Alberta



Alberta 2015 population 4121700



est Muslim Population 195240



CNMM Networks: Calgary and Edmonton



It is estimated that Calgary has 82000 Muslims and Edmonton another 50000 .

Alberta may have a total as high as 195240 today.

Calgary is notable as the first Canadian city with a Muslim mayor. It's

become a prominent place of Islamic fundamentalism.

Edmonton's Muslim population is very diverse, with the largest group

coming from Tanzania, followed by Somalia, and then North African countries

such as Egypt, Morocco, etc.

Muslims are coming to faith in Jesus! They overcome huge spiritual,

emotional and cultural hurdles to follow Christ. Yet their challenges still

continue, especially in growing in discipleship. They often fell lost in our

Western congregations, and equally lost trying to find a church body with whom

they can identify. some are even being lured into Christian cult groups.



Please join us in praying for:

- The church to reach out to the growing Muslim populations in Alberta.

- for Canadian churches to start contextualised discipleship ministries to

Muslim-background believers.

- for Muslm-background believers to be well grounded spiritually and socially

in their faith and the Church.

- and for Muslim-background believers to share their faith with their

not-yet-believing family and friendship networks.

- for Farsi and Arabic fellowships to grow in spiritual maturity and outreach.

- for current and new workers among Muslims in these growing Muslim

in these growing Muslim population centres.

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



Under the Keep Praying page



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

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

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

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

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

decorated and festivals will be held.



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

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

Islam.



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

which means Blessed Eid!"



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

know, and Muslims around the world:



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

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

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

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

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

relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.

Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,

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

your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.

18 Even on My menservants and maidservants

I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.

19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:

blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,

and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.

21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]



Footnotes

Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.

- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective

discipleship movements among Muslim people.

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

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

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

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

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

house."



Ideas for prayer



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

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

Christ among Muslim people -

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

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

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



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

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

(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, ...) .

Day 43, 12 Feb 2026



1) Exodus 39 , Exodus 40





EXODUS 39



Making the Priestly Garments



1 (Ex 31:10; 35:19; 35:23) Now from the blue, purple, and scarlet

they made woven garments for serving in the holy place and made

the holy garments for Aaron, just as the Lord commanded Moses.





[1] And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made cloths of service,

to do service in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron; as

the LORD commanded Moses.



Making the Ephod

Ex 28:6-14



2 (Ex 28:6-12 ) He made the ephod of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet,

and fine twisted linen.

3 Then they hammered the gold into thin sheets and cut it into threads

to work them into the blue, the purple, the scarlet, and the fine linen,

with skillful work.

4 They made shoulder pieces for it, in order to attach it together.

It was joined by the two edges together.

5 The skillfully woven waistband of his ephod that was on it was like it,

of the same material, of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet,

and fine twisted linen, just as the Lord commanded Moses.

6 (Ex 28:9) They set the onyx stones enclosed in gold filigree settings;

they were engraved like the engravings of a signet, according to the names

of the children of Israel.

7 (Ex 28:12; Jos 4:7) And he put them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod,

to be stones for a memorial to the children of Israel,

just as the Lord commanded Moses.



[2] And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine

twined linen.

[3] And they did beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to

work it in the blue, and in the purple, and in the scarlet, and in the fine

linen, with cunning work.

[4] They made shoulderpieces for it, to couple it together: by the two edges

was it coupled together.

[5] And the curious girdle of his ephod, that was upon it, was of the same,

according to the work thereof; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and

fine twined linen; as the LORD commanded Moses.

[6] And they wrought onyx stones inclosed in ouches of gold, graven, as

signets are graven, with the names of the children of Israel.

[7] And he put them on the shoulders of the ephod, that they should be

stones for a memorial to the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded

Moses.



Making the Breastplate

Ex 28:15-28



8 He made the breastplate, the work of a skillful workman,

like the workmanship of the ephod: of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet,

and fine twisted linen.

9 It was square. They made the breastplate folded double, a span

(About 9 inches, or 23 centimeters.)

long and a span wide when doubled.

10 They set in it four rows of stones. A row of sardius, topaz,

and carbuncle was the first row;

11 the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond;

12 the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;

13 and the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper.

They were enclosed in settings of gold filigree.

14 (Rev 21:12) The stones were corresponding to

the names of the children of Israel, twelve,

corresponding to their names,

like the engravings of a signet,

each with its name,

corresponding to the twelve tribes.

(Reminders and Memorials)

15 They made on the breastplate braided chains like cords of pure gold.

16 They made two gold filigree settings and two gold rings

and put the two rings in the two ends of the breastplate.

17 They put the two braided chains of gold in

the two rings on the ends of the breastplate.

18 The other two ends of the two braided chains they fastened

in the two filigree settings and put them on the shoulder pieces

of the ephod at the front of it.

19 They made two rings of gold and put them on

the two ends of the breastplate,

on the edge of it which was on the inner side of the ephod.

20 They made two other golden rings and put them on the two sides

of the ephod underneath, toward the front of it,

over against where it joined,

above the waistband of the ephod.

21 They bound the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod

with a blue cord, so that it might be above the waistband of the ephod,

and that the breastplate might not come loose from the ephod,

just as the Lord commanded Moses.



[8] And he made the breastplate of cunning work, like the work of the ephod;

of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.

[9] It was foursquare; they made the breastplate double: a span was the

length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, being doubled.

[10] And they set in it four rows of stones: the first row was a sardius, a

topaz, and a carbuncle: this was the first row.

[11] And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.

[12] And the third row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.

[13] And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: they were inclosed

in ouches of gold in their inclosings.

[14] And the stones were according to the names of the children of Israel,

twelve, according to their names, like the engravings of a signet, every one

with his name, according to the twelve tribes.

[15] And they made upon the breastplate chains at the ends, of wreathen work

of pure gold.

[16] And they made two ouches of gold, and two gold rings; and put the two

rings in the two ends of the breastplate.

[17] And they put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings on the

ends of the breastplate.

[18] And the two ends of the two wreathen chains they fastened in the two

ouches, and put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod, before it.

[19] And they made two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the

breastplate, upon the border of it, which was on the side of the ephod

inward.

[20] And they made two other golden rings, and put them on the two sides of

the ephod underneath, toward the forepart of it, over against the other

coupling thereof, above the curious girdle of the ephod.

[21] And they did bind the breastplate by his rings unto the rings of the

ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be above the curious girdle of the

ephod, and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod; as the

LORD commanded Moses.



Making Other Priestly Garments

Ex 28:31 - 43



22 Then he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.

23 There was an opening in the middle of the robe,

like the opening of a coat of mail,

with a band all around the opening so that it should not be torn.

24 They made on the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, purple,

and scarlet, and twisted linen.

25 They made bells of pure gold and put the bells between

the pomegranates all around on the hem of the robe.

26 There was a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate,

all around about the hem of the robe to be used in service,

just as the Lord commanded Moses.

27 (Eze 44:18) They made tunics of finely woven linen

for Aaron and his sons,

28 (Ex 28:4) and the turban of fine linen,

and the decorated caps of fine linen,

and linen breeches of fine twisted linen.

29 The sash was of fine twisted linen and blue, purple, and scarlet,

the work of an embroiderer, just as the Lord commanded Moses.

30 They made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold

and wrote on it an inscription, like the engravings of a signet:

HOLINESS TO THE LORD.

31 They attached to it a blue cord, to fasten it to the turban above,

just as the Lord commanded Moses.



[22] And he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.

[23] And there was an hole in the midst of the robe, as the hole of an

habergeon, with a band round about the hole, that it should not rend.

[24] And they made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, and

purple, and scarlet, and twined linen.

[25] And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the

pomegranates upon the hem of the robe, round about between the pomegranates;

[26] A bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, round about the hem

of the robe to minister in; as the LORD commanded Moses.

[27] And they made coats of fine linen of woven work for Aaron, and for his

sons,

[28] And a mitre of fine linen, and goodly bonnets of fine linen, and linen

breeches of fine twined linen,

[29] And a girdle of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet,

of needlework; as the LORD commanded Moses.

[30] And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote upon

it a writing, like to the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD.

[31] And they tied unto it a lace of blue, to fasten it on high upon the

mitre; as the LORD commanded Moses.



The Work Completed

Ex 35:10-19



32 (Ex 39:42-43; 25:40) Thus all the work of the tabernacle of the tent

of meeting was finished, and the children of Israel did according to all

that the Lord commanded Moses - so they did.

and the holy garments for Aaron the priest and his sons' garments,

to minister as priests.

42 (Ex 35:10) The children of Israel did all the work according

to all that the Lord commanded Moses.

43 (Lev 9:22 - 23; Nu 6:23 - 27) Moses looked over all the work,

and indeed they had done it; as the Lord had commanded,

so they had done. Then Moses blessed them.

Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools



Week 6 Showing Grace to Others - Day 4 "Formula" for Forgiveness



Luke 17:3 - 4



3 (Lev 19:17; Mt 18:21)"Take heed to yourselves."

"If your brother sins against you, rebuke him. And if he repents,

forgive him.

4 (Mt 18:21-22) If he sins against you seven times in a day,

and seven times in a day turns to you, saying,

'I repent,' you must forgive him."



3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him;

and if he repent, forgive him.

4 And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day,

and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent;

thou shalt forgive him.



The context of these verses give us an interesting perspective of Jesus'

disciples. In a corollary passage in Matthew 18, the disciples (through

Peter, the designated mouthpiece) ask Jesus,

21 (Mt 18:15; Lk 17:3-4) Then Peter came to Him and said,

"Lord, how often shall I forgive my brother who sins against me?

Up to seven times?" (Matthew 18:21)

The disciples wanted a "formula" for forgiveness: they wanted to be able to

develop a checklist. Once, twice, maybe three times a brother could be

forgiven, but after that, you could write him off. After all, if

he keeps on offending over and over again, he doesn't deserve to be forgiven!

But Jesus says, " Rebuke him - let him know his fault; if he repents,

forgive him - even seven times in the same day!"

And the disciplines' response is predictable: "Lord, increase our faith!" They

were more comfortable with their own formula for forgiveness than with the

outrageous demands of the love that Christ imposed upon them.

We are so like the disciples. We want to draw a line and say. "This far

- no more. I'll forgive you once, but don't do it again. Now that you're

forgiven, you'd better shape up!". Yet God's love doesn't recognise "again".

He forgives, and no matter how often we come to him in repentance

for repeated offenses, his arms of forgiveness are open to us.

That is the way God wants us to forgive. He wants us to lay aside our

checklists, put away our suspicions, abandon our scoreboards, and forgive.

Seven times, or seventy times seven, as often as we have sinned against God

and been forgiven, we are to forgive.



Application



a) Have I ever kept a "scorecard" of performance on someone I

have forgiven ? Why?



b) Why do I need "increased faith" to be able to forgive as

Jesus calls me to?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Hebrews 7:8



8 In the one case mortal men receive tithes,

but in the other he of whom it is witnessed

that he is alive receives them.



8 And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them,

of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.



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



When you are Facing Pain and Suffering



2 Cor 12:7-10



7 And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance

of revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan,

to torment me, lest I be exalted above measure.

8 I asked the Lord three times that this thing might depart from me.

9 But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made

perfect in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will boast in my weaknesses,

that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

10 So I take pleasure in weaknesses, in reproaches, in hardships,

in persecutions, and in distresses for Christ's sake.

For when I am weak, then I am strong.



7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of

the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh,

the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.

8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.

9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is

made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my

infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities,

in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak,

then am I strong.



Remember God's promises when You pray



The Lord's prayer



Matthew 6:9-13



9 "Therefore pray in this manner:

Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.

12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,

as we forgive our debtors.

13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."



9 After this manner therefore pray ye:

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.



6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)



Alberta



Quick facts on Muslims in Alberta



Alberta 2015 population 4121700



est Muslim Population 195240



CNMM Networks: Calgary and Edmonton



It is estimated that Calgary has 82000 Muslims and Edmonton another 50000 .

Alberta may have a total as high as 195240 today.

Calgary is notable as the first Canadian city with a Muslim mayor. It's

become a prominent place of Islamic fundamentalism.

Edmonton's Muslim population is very diverse, with the largest group

coming from Tanzania, followed by Somalia, and then North African countries

such as Egypt, Morocco, etc.

Muslims are coming to faith in Jesus! They overcome huge spiritual,

emotional and cultural hurdles to follow Christ. Yet their challenges still

continue, especially in growing in discipleship. They often fell lost in our

Western congregations, and equally lost trying to find a church body with whom

they can identify. some are even being lured into Christian cult groups.



Please join us in praying for:

- The church to reach out to the growing Muslim populations in Alberta.

- for Canadian churches to start contextualised discipleship ministries to

Muslim-background believers.

- for Muslm-background believers to be well grounded spiritually and socially

in their faith and the Church.

- and for Muslim-background believers to share their faith with their

not-yet-believing family and friendship networks.

- for Farsi and Arabic fellowships to grow in spiritual maturity and outreach.

- for current and new workers among Muslims in these growing Muslim

Adding further



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



Under the Keep Praying page



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

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

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

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

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

decorated and festivals will be held.



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

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

Islam.



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

which means Blessed Eid!"



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

know, and Muslims around the world:



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

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

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

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

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

relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.

Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,

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

your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.

18 Even on My menservants and maidservants

I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.

19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:

blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,

and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.

21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]



Footnotes

Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.

- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective

discipleship movements among Muslim people.

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

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

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

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

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

house."



Ideas for prayer



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

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

Christ among Muslim people -

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

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

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



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

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

(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, ...) .

The Inventory of the Tabernacle



21 (Nu 1:50; 1:53) This is the inventory of the tabernacle,

the tabernacle of testimony, as it was counted according

to the commandment of Moses for the service of the Levites

by the hand of Ithamar, son of Aaron the priest.

22 Bezalel, the son of Uri the son of Hur of the tribe of Judah,

made all that the Lord commanded Moses.

Honouring Jesus by Arthur Jackson



Matthew 26:6-13



The Anointing at Bethany

Mk 14:3-9; Jn 12:1-8



6 (Mt 21:17) When Jesus was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper,

7 a woman came to Him having an alabaster jar of very expensive ointment

and poured it on His head as He sat at supper.

8 When His disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, "For what purpose

is this waste?

9 This ointment might have been sold for a large sum and given to the poor."

10 When Jesus perceived it, He said to them, "Why do you trouble the woman?

She has done a good work for Me.

11 (Dt 15:11; Mk 14:7) For you have the poor always with you,

but you do not always have Me.

12 In pouring this ointment on My body, she did it for My burial.

13 (Mt 24:14; Mk 14:9) Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel shall

be preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will be told

in memory of her."



[6] Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,

[7] There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious

ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.

[8] But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what

purpose is this waste?

[9] For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.

[10] When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman?

for she hath wrought a good work upon me.

[11] For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.

[12] For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my

burial.

[13] Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the

whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a

memorial of her.



A twenty-dollar bill and two leaflets with messages about Jesus. That's what

was inside an envelope labeled "John Daniels Sr, Random Act of Kindness Day."

A woman gave it to me while I was on my walk at the community college campus.

A year earlier, John had been fatally struck by a car after helping a

homeless man and sharing words about Christ's love with him. John's legacy of

witnessing through words and deeds lives on through the woman I met that day,

along with John's other family members.



In Matthew 26:13, one woman was memorialised by Jesus with these words:

"Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel shall

be preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will be told

in memory of her." The woman's tender heart for Christ compelled her to anoint

Him with expensive ointment (v. 7). What was misunderstood and criticised by

others as wasteful (vv. 8-9) was commended by Jesus as "a beautiful thing"

(v. 10). The woman's costly devotion was used by God in a unique way,

just as He uses our deeds today for His purposes.



The envelope I received reinforced my desire to distribute resources

to those on the street corners in my city, but honoring Jesus can happen in a

variety of ways. Let's tell others about Him and demonstrate His love

practically.



Reflect & Pray



Who has inspired you to honour Jesus in practical ways?

What acts of kindness might your love for Him compel you to do?



Heavenly Father, the lives of other

believers in Jesus inspire me to love You more.

Please help me to see ways to share my love for You.



Jesus teaches us how to be in

right relationship with Him. Check out Joy to the Full to learn more.

1) Exodus 36, Exodus 37, Exodus 38



EXODUS 36



1 (Ex 28:3; 25:8) So Bezalel and Oholiab, and every skilled person,

in whom the Lord has put skill and understanding to know how to do

all manner of work for the service of the sanctuary, are to do the work

according to all that the Lord has commanded.

2 (Ex 31:6; 1Ch 29:5 ) Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab and every skilled

person in whom the Lord had put wisdom, everyone whose heart stirred him

to come to the work to do it.

3 (Ex 35:29) They received from Moses all the offerings which the children

of Israel had brought to do the work of the service of the sanctuary,

and they continued to bring to him freewill offerings every morning.

4 And all the skilled men who were doing all the work of the sanctuary

came from the work they were doing,

5 (2Ch 24:14; 2Co 8:2-3) and they said to Moses,

"The people are bringing much more than is needed

for the service of the work which the Lord commanded us to do."

6 So Moses issued a command, and they circulated a proclamation

throughout the camp, saying, "Let no man or woman do any more work

for the offering of the sanctuary.- So the people were restrained

from bringing any more.

7 For the material they had was sufficient for all the work

and more than enough to do it.



[1] Then wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whom

the LORD put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all manner of work

for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that the LORD had

commanded.

[2] And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in

whose heart the LORD had put wisdom, even every one whose heart stirred him

up to come unto the work to do it:

[3] And they received of Moses all the offering, which the children of

Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make it

withal. And they brought yet unto him free offerings every morning.

[4] And all the wise men, that wrought all the work of the sanctuary, came

every man from his work which they made;

[5] And they spake unto Moses, saying, The people bring much more than

enough for the service of the work, which the LORD commanded to make.

[6] And Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed

throughout the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work

for the offering of the sanctuary. So the people were restrained from

bringing.

[7] For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and

too much.



Construction of the Tabernacle



Ex 26:1-37



8 Every skilled man among those who were doing the work made

the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twisted linen,

and blue, and purple, and scarlet,

with cherubim that were the work of skillful workmen.

9 The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits,

and the width of each curtain four cubits.

(About 9 inches, or 23 centimeters.)

All of the curtains were the same size.

10 He joined the five curtains to one another,

and the other five curtains he joined to one to another.

11 He made loops of blue on the edge of the outermost

curtain in the first set. He did likewise along the edge

of the outermost curtain in the second set.

12 (Ex 26:5) He made fifty loops in the one curtain

and made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain

which was in the second set. The loops were opposite one another.

13 He made fifty gold clasps and joined the curtains

to one another with the clasps, so that the tabernacle was a unit.

14 (Ex 26:7-13) He made curtains of goats' hair for a tent

over the tabernacle. He made eleven curtains in all.

15 The length of each curtain was thirty cubits,

and the width of each curtain was four cubits.

(About 45 feet long and 6 feet wide, or 14 meters long and 1.8 meters wide.)

The eleven curtains were all the same size.

16 He joined five curtains by themselves and six curtains by themselves.

17 He made fifty loops on the outermost edge of the curtain in the first

set, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain which joined

the second set.

18 He made fifty bronze clasps to join the tent together,

so that it would be one unit.

19 He made a covering for the tent out of rams' skins

dyed red and a covering of porpoise skins above.

20 (Ex 25:5) Then he made boards for the tabernacle out of acacia wood,

standing upright.

21 The length of each board was ten cubits, and the width of each board

was one and a half cubits.

(About 15 feet long and 2 1/4 feet wide, or 4.5 meters long

and 68 centimeters wide.)

22 Each board had two tenons, equally distant from each other.

He did this for all the boards of the tabernacle.

23 He made boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards for the south side.

24 He made forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards;

two sockets under one board for its two tenons

and two sockets under another board for its two tenons.

25 For the other side of the tabernacle,

which is toward the north corner,

he made twenty boards,

26 and their forty sockets of silver: two sockets under one board,

and two sockets under another board.

27 For the back of the tabernacle westward he made six boards.

28 He made two boards for the corners of the tabernacle at the back.

29 They were doubled beneath and joined together at the top in one ring.

He did this with both of them in both the corners.

30 There were eight boards with their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets,

two under every board.

31 (Ex 26:26-29) He made bars of acacia wood,

five for the boards of one side of the tabernacle,

32 and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle,

and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the back to the west.

33 He made the middle bar to pass through

the boards from the one end to the other.

34 He overlaid the boards with gold,

and made their rings of gold to be places for the bars,

and overlaid the bars with gold.

35 (Mt 27:51) He made a veil of blue, and purple,

and scarlet, and fine twined linen. He made cherubim,

the work of a skillful designer.

36 He made four pillars of acacia wood and overlaid them

with gold with their hooks of gold,

and he cast four sockets of silver for them.

37 He made a hanging for the tabernacle

entrance of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen,

the work of an embroiderer.

38 And he made its five pillars with their hooks,

and he overlaid their tops and their bands with gold,

but their five sockets were of bronze.



[8] And every wise hearted man among them that wrought the work of the

tabernacle made ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and

scarlet: with cherubims of cunning work made he them.

[9] The length of one curtain was twenty and eight cubits, and the breadth

of one curtain four cubits: the curtains were all of one size.

[10] And he coupled the five curtains one unto another: and the other five

curtains he coupled one unto another.

[11] And he made loops of blue on the edge of one curtain from the selvedge

in the coupling: likewise he made in the uttermost side of another curtain,

in the coupling of the second.

[12] Fifty loops made he in one curtain, and fifty loops made he in the edge

of the curtain which was in the coupling of the second: the loops held one

curtain to another.

[13] And he made fifty taches of gold, and coupled the curtains one unto

another with the taches: so it became one tabernacle.

[14] And he made curtains of goats' hair for the tent over the tabernacle:

eleven curtains he made them.

[15] The length of one curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits was the

breadth of one curtain: the eleven curtains were of one size.

[16] And he coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by

themselves.

[17] And he made fifty loops upon the uttermost edge of the curtain in the

coupling, and fifty loops made he upon the edge of the curtain which

coupleth the second.

[18] And he made fifty taches of brass to couple the tent together, that it

might be one.

[19] And he made a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a

covering of badgers' skins above that.

[20] And he made boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood, standing up.

[21] The length of a board was ten cubits, and the breadth of a board one

cubit and a half.

[22] One board had two tenons, equally distant one from another: thus did he

make for all the boards of the tabernacle.

[23] And he made boards for the tabernacle; twenty boards for the south side

southward:

[24] And forty sockets of silver he made under the twenty boards; two

sockets under one board for his two tenons, and two sockets under another

board for his two tenons.

[25] And for the other side of the tabernacle, which is toward the north

corner, he made twenty boards,

[26] And their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two

sockets under another board.

[27] And for the sides of the tabernacle westward he made six boards.

[28] And two boards made he for the corners of the tabernacle in the two

sides.

[29] And they were coupled beneath, and coupled together at the head

thereof, to one ring: thus he did to both of them in both the corners.

[30] And there were eight boards; and their sockets were sixteen sockets of

silver, under every board two sockets.

[31] And he made bars of shittim wood; five for the boards of the one side

of the tabernacle,

[32] And five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and

five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the sides westward.

[33] And he made the middle bar to shoot through the boards from the one end

to the other.

[34] And he overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold to

be places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.

[35] And he made a vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined

linen: with cherubims made he it of cunning work.

[36] And he made thereunto four pillars of shittim wood, and overlaid them

with gold: their hooks were of gold; and he cast for them four sockets of

silver.

[37] And he made an hanging for the tabernacle door of blue, and purple, and

scarlet, and fine twined linen, of needlework;

[38] And the five pillars of it with their hooks: and he overlaid their

chapiters and their fillets with gold: but their five sockets were of brass.
