Ps. 105:1

"Give thanks to the Lord, call upon His Name; make known among the nations what He has done"

If you want to know what God has done, read the Bible through! Next, reflect upon His creation surrounding you. Then look at history, and see His hand moving upon men and nations to fulfill His purposes. Read books and periodicals to marvel at those new things He is revealing to men from His treasures of wisdom. Finally, search your heart and meditate upon His work in you. You should find within yourself a threefold response to what you have seen and learned-the same threefold response the psalmist gave: gratitude, prayer, and a passion that these things be proclaimed to all. Do not be disobedient to the heavenly vision. Go and make Him known. Join His host of prayer warriors. Praise Him without ceasing. SOURCE: http://www.global-prayer-digest.org/ <-- GO HERE EVERYDAY!!

Jn. 1:1
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God"
God is a missionary God who carries within His heart the desire to communicate His "Word." Not only is He the great Creator, He is also the great Communicator. Amid this week's preparations for Christmas, let's reverently recall the great passages in Scripture which anticipate and describe the birth of Jesus Christ. Then, let's allow the drama of the great event to give focus to our prayers for the unreached peoples. Christmas is the most "missionary" time of the year!
Father, we long to know You better as the missionary God. Give us a new zeal to make You known among the unreached peoples. source: http://www.global-prayer-digest.org<--GO HERE EVERYDAY!

me :D providing a holiday �responsibility� to invest even more treasures in heaven!

Ps. 24:1

"The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it"

Because He created us, we "belong" to the Lord. He also claims us for His own by the right of redemption (Heb. 2:9). We who acknowledge Christ as Savior and Lord know we are not our own. We are "bought with a price" (I Cor. 6:20). How were you informed of this? Who told you of His claim upon you? Today there are well over two billion individuals who have no one to tell them.
Dear Lord, burden our hearts for thousands of peoples still without a witness. Prepare the hearts of individuals in those people groups to hear and respond to Your Word. Send out laborers into this harvest. source: www.global-prayer-digest.org <-- GO HREE EVERYDAY!!

Global Recordings Network--10K Challenge


* MUCH MORE about this people group at the JOSHUA PROJECT

What is invisible, untouchable, but capable of reaching the most remote and isolated people around the globe in any language? Radio broadcasting! As the gospel is translated in more languages, Global Recordings Network (GRN) Australia is broadcasting these recordings over the radio. As of April this year, GRN's existing library of 5,600 vernacular recordings has inspired this group to aim even higher. Their new challenge is to add another 4,400 languages and dialects equaling 10,000 by the year 2020. Thus, the 10K Challenge!

Many people don't have access to the gospel because of illiteracy. These people can hear the gospel through GRN's efforts. There are also many people groups that can't accept the gospel because of their religious background. It is by way of the cross GRN hopes to win Muslims for Christ, encouraging us to pray fervently and frequently that "God will give us love for our Muslim neighbors and the opportunity and ability to share God's love and truth with them."

Pray that radios will be available for the unreached to hear the gospel, and that they will tune in to these broadcasts. Other GRN workers ask for prayer for good health and help to finish their translations. Pray for the Lord to give them wisdom and reliable resources. Pray that GRN workers will be sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit as they produce their recordings.-JC source: http://www.global-prayer-digest.org <-- GO HERE EVERYDAY!!

The Widow�s Mite
Are you grateful for Calvary? Do you look at the cross with tears in your eyes? Then show God your gratitude. Give Him the "widow's mite" of your evangelistic witness. The incident of the poor widow giving her last two coins to God shows us that only the gift that costs, counts. God knows what it costs you to stand up for the Gospel. Perhaps for you to give a tract to an unsaved person may be equivalent (on a "courage level") to some other Christian standing up and preaching in the open air. Don't let fear stop you. You can do it. Don't listen to your fears. Say, "If God is for me, nothing can be against me. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Then do it. Civil law is still on our side-you'll not be thrown to the lions. Let the devil eat dust.
There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.

* make me less & less dependent on myself & more & more dependent on Him!
* keep me focussed on the glory of the Son! * help me give Him all I am & all I have! * give me a true hunger & thirst after righteousness!
* give me a hearing ear and a receptive heart! * my life would exalt Christ as the centre & focus of all things!
* help me become a Person of the Cross, experiencing the Death of the Lord that I may have the Life of the Lord.
* help me follow His instruction and allow Him to become my ONLY Desire!

"What then is this bleating of the sheep in my ears?" 1 Sam 15:14
Have you ever tried to justify a sin by citing "spiritual" reasons? That was Saul's tactic. He had been commanded to kill all the Amalekites and all their flocks, but in disobedience Saul saved a few of the best of each. When questioned by Samuel, he insisted that he had disobeyed with the best of motives-"to sacrifice to the Lord." How do we today often seek to evade the clarity of the Great Commission? By citing family obligations? personal ambitions? the absence of a "call"?
Pray: Dear Lord, You have been so good to us. Forgive our rationalizations for not obeying You fully, and lead us into service to unreached peoples.Source: www.global-prayer-digest.org� GO HERE everyday!!

more awesome lyrics - may we stay forever captive to the Merciful Stealer of our guilty souls! Ben Glover - Stolen By Mercy

1. Father of the sunlight Father of a cold rainy day | Listen to a dark heart | listen to my prayer today |
See I am quite deceitful but I am quite forgiven anyway | This puzzling redemption leaves me in a wordless disarray | science thought they ruled You out | reason had You reasoned out | There was nothing more that I could say | All the proof I could give was a guilty conscience stolen away!

Chorus:
Burglar of my soul defeat me | robber of my poison heart! | Break into this callous core | and make me a victim of a thief who�s stolen by mercy! | Cos I�m stolen by mercy!

2. Father of the heavens, stealer of my yesterdays | Who was I before You a past without the Saviours grace | O and justice should�ve ruled me out | a guilty verdict beyond reasonable doubt | There was no defence I could make | All the proof that was against me You stole & washed away! | Chorus:

Bridge: How great is the love of the Saviour that You would rob me of all my shame | and how far have You come to just to reach me | You have held out Your hand | You have called out my name!

Burglar of my soul defeat me, robber of my poison heart! | Break into this callous core & make me a victim of a thief | make me a victim of a thief | O make me a victim of a thief who�s stolen by mercy!
| I�m stolen by mercy! |

1 Sam.28:16, 18

"Samuel said, 'Why do you consult me, now that the Lord has turned away from you and become your enemy? .... Because you did not obey the Lord...the Lord has done this to you today.'"

Saul was so desperate for advice that he bade a spirit medium call up Samuel from the dead. But Samuel reminded Saul that it was his own disobedience, not lack of advice, that had caused God to reject him. Remember that Saul's catastrophic disobedience had seemed to him to be merely incomplete obedience. God has also given us certain commands, and Christ's last command was the Great Commission. Many Christian leaders today are reaffirming the scriptural truth that unless we who are spiritually and materially blessed are more completely obedient in reaching the unreached peoples, God may take His hand of blessing from us, just as He did from Saul.
Forgive us, Lord, and give us joy as we learn to obey Your commands completely. source: global-prayer-digest.org <-- GO HERE EVERYDAY!!

awesome lyrics -! May we keep running after the Saviour who keeps running after us!
Running After Me - Ben Glover
1. Here I am again | Oh the same old-fashioned sin | And the same old-fashioned shame | I�m as dirty as the rug | In a darkened alley pub | And I am sick and tired of this old-fashioned game | Will I ever truly understand? | I can hide but you know where I am | And you pursue my heart before I ever get | Too far away from you

CHORUS:
And I�ve come so close | But you�ve come so close | And I�ve fought so hard | But you grab me and you pull me back again | And I�ve run away | But you keep on running after me | Running after me

Should I keep falling down? | And make friends with the ground? | And the mud that�s on my face | Do I like my disarray | And the way my edges fray | As I disregard this discomfort and dismay | Will I truly ever understand? | I�m not always the seeker in you plan | �Cause you pursued my heart before I ever Started chasing after you
CHORUS:

Chase me down and capture all I am | �Cause I�m fighting off the will to wander again
Be my retreat, my sweet release, my remedy CHORUS:

[John] (Bougainville)
:D the encounter with the gospel, me & brother Dave as he was walking thru the mall the night before he retuned home!

:D He sees my every sin yet chooses to look on me with love & watches me rise again!
:D stripping me of things to rely on in myself that I�d rely on Him more fully!
* I�d Let Jesus be INSEPARABLE from me! * I�d Let Jesus CONSUME you!
* He�d change me at any cost to become what His Word says I ought to be!
