pray for us!

Dan. 10:13
"But the Prince of the Persian Kingdom resisted me 21 days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, because I was detained there with the king of Persia."
This comment made by the angel of the Lord to Daniel gives us some insight into what happens when we pray. We know from this passage that the Lord responds to our prayers. In this case, he sent His angel to Daniel. But notice that the answer to this prayer was delayed because of the work of the enemy, the Prince of Persia. It may take much regular prayer before the Lord breaks through the spiritual darkness. Will you be one who prays until the Lord is victorious?

pray: Father, show me if I am to be one who continues to pray for the peoples we lifted up this month.

Dan.7:9, 10
"As I looked, thrones were set in place, and the Ancient of Days took His seat. The court was seated, and the books were opened."
Daniel was given a glimpse of the end times, and in particular, as seen in these verses, of the Great White Throne judgment seat. (See also Revelation 20:11-15.) The dead will then stand before the Father's throne and be judged according to what they have done. What an awesome vision for Daniel to behold! As he continued to watch, the Son of Man was led into the Father's presence and "was given authority, glory, and sovereign power; all peoples, nations and men of every language worshiped him" (7:14). How glorious and how comforting! God has not given us an impossible commission. It will be accomplished as we yield ourselves to Him.

pray:Lord, we thank You for this glimpse of the future. Hasten the day, when through us, some from every nation will sing Your praises.

pray for us!

Dan. 2:44
"In the time of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever."
What a note of assurance, of triumph, of victory! God's unchangeable kingdom will last forever. These words of certain victory should encourage and strengthen us in the task of world evangelization. We do not yet see the Kingdom in its glory and power, but the Kingdom is here. It is among us. It is growing, pulsating with power as God calls and fills his people with the power of His Spirit. It is growing as God thrusts his people into a worldwide harvest, calling those from every nation to share in the glory of eternal fellowship with the Heavenly King.

pray: O great King of Kings and Lord of Lords, strengthen our hands, quicken our minds, and encourage our hearts with a vision of Your victorious Kingdom.

- met @ bus stop. rather than isolate myself & sit/stand alone waiting for the bus [as i have done so much before!] sat next to Fred, introduced myself, exchanged pleasantries & got on the bus together. gave him an IQ test, after going through it with him, he *seems* to be "christian", yet lacks assurance he's saved. *sigh* ... all tragically too common these days :( .. ended our conversation encouraging him to read 1 John to get assured whether he's truly saved or not! [for anyone else reading this blog & unsure of your salvation, why not read through the book of 1 John yourself?] see: http://www.biblegateway.com/quicksearch/?quicksearch=1+John&qs_version=51
[different language versions avaialable at www.biblegateway.com!!]
:D PRAISE! :D
:D there is a way to be definitely, certainly assurred of salvation because God has spoken!
[unlike all other man-made "religions" where you try, strive, labour & sacrifice in vain with zero assurance of ever being saved! :]
*PRAY!*
* drive Fred & others like hIm into His Word, to receive revalation of Christ & all He's done so that they might know they have eternal life!
* in receiving assurance of salvation, Fred & others like hIm would go on to spread gospel blessings to very creature! [Jesus told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone. Mark 16:15

pray for us!

Dan. 1:1
"In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it."
Dr. Ralph Winter has observed that throughout history when the people of God have failed to share the gospel with the peoples around them, He has often brought the peoples to the gospel-sometimes even with great force. Israel's idolatry and selfish failure to take the good news to their neighbors led to the siege of Jerusalem. Today's church has failed to take the gospel to all the peoples of the world, and so God has brought the peoples to the church's shores, most often not as military conquerors but as refugees, students, and businessmen. Are we willing to share with them our spiritual and material abundance?

pray: Father, help us to respond to wonderful opportunities for ministry to "newcomers" in our own communities.

Jer. 45:4, 5
"...'I will overthrow what I have built and uproot what I have planted... Should you then seek great things for yourself? Seek them not.'"
God's Word, when delegated to His people, powerfully influences the rise and fall of nations and kingdoms of the earth. God intends to "overthrow" and "uproot" as well as to "build" and "plant." Therefore, He admonishes us, as He did Jeremiah's scribe Baruch, to abandon a selfish ambition which is not only futile but is also irrelevant. It is nothing less than tragic when we chase personal aspirations to the ignorance or neglect of the clearly-revealed purposes of God. In light of what God is doing and wants to do among the nations, can we possibly justify seeking great things for ourselves? "Seek them not."

pray: Father, we yield to You our aspirations, our ambitions, and our dreams. Do with them as You will.

pray for us!

Jer. 1:9, 10
"'Now, I have put my words in your mouth. See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant.'"
The young prophet Jeremiah had protested to the God who commissioned him by saying, "I do not know how to speak; I am only a child" (1:6). God responded by extending His hand, touching Jeremiah's mouth, and making him a channel of the very words of God. Since we too have the delegated authority of the Word of God, let's exercise it! As we pray, let's confidently ask God to accomplish His revealed will among the nations and resist the evil one's activity among these people groups. Above all, let's ask the Lord Jesus to "plant" and "build" His church within each human society.
pray:Lord Jesus, we ask that You establish Your church within every one of the unreached peoples.

Is. 58:10
"If you spend yourselves on behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday."
There is significant overlap between the 10,000 "unreached people groups" without a church in their midst and the "hungry half" of the world without adequate physical and material resources. Isaiah reminds us that the people of God are called not only to spend their money to feed the hungry, but also to spend themselves, to pour out their lives in sacrificial service. That service cannot be a mere token. It must "satisfy the needs" of the oppressed. Isaiah also points out that those who serve receive the fruits of service: healing, answered prayer, guidance, personal provision, and joy.

Gracious Father, teach us to "spend ourselves" on behalf of those who are desperately hungry both for bread and the Bread of Life

Is. 25:7-9
"The Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears from all faces.... In that day they will say, 'Surely this is our God; we trusted in Him, and He saved us.'"
The book of Isaiah has been called "the Bible in miniature," and rightfully so, for its 66 chapters present the person, work, and commission of Christ in a manner representative of the 66 books of the Bible. Isaiah here portrays the heavenly banquet in which men and women from every nation will rejoice in the goodness of God. Though Christ's death has conquered the power of death for all who put their trust in Him, His return will banish the presence of death from the redeemed of every nation. How tenderly the Sovereign Lord will wipe away tears from faces upturned in joyful praise!

Pray: Wonderful Savior, we eagerly look forward to that day. Lead us on until we see You face-to-face!

Song 6:3
"I am my lover's and my lover is mine."
When we gaze upon the beauty of our Savior, who loves us with an everlasting love, the significance of Solomon's words comes home to us: He is ours and we are His. He claimed us as His "bride" before we claimed Him as our "groom." We did not choose Him, but He chose us and loved us, and then set us free to love Him in return. He chose us "to go and bear (lasting) fruit" (John 15:16). Unlike the love between a man and his wife, the love between Jesus and His disciple is meant to be shared with many others. This way His love can spread throughout the earth.

pray:Father, may Christ's beauty be in us so that those who don't know Him may come to know Him intimately.

Song 1:1-2
"Solomon's Song of Songs. Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth-for your love is more delightful than wine."
Commentators have long sought to fully understand and interpret the meaning of this beautiful love story. Although the story is primarily a celebration of the exquisite love between a man and a woman, it also illustrates the eternal love of the Savior for His lovely bride. Do we love the Lord Jesus Christ, our heavenly bridegroom, with the passion and purity of the love a bride that has for her husband? Do we truly regard His love as the most precious of all forms of pleasure and satisfaction? Do we honor His longing for a bride who is both beautiful and complete?

pray: Lord Jesus, fill our hearts with love in response to Your great love for us. Give us the vision You have for a bride from every people, tribe, tongue, and nation.

Ecc. 11:1-2
"Cast your bread upon the waters, for after many days you will find it again. Give portions to seven, yes to eight, for you do not know what disaster may come upon the land."
Solomon's exhortation for us to share our blessings carries with it the reiteration of a major biblical theme: we receive when we give, we are blessed as we bless others, and we experience real life as we experience daily death to self and sin. How difficult it is for us to really believe the truth of such a paradox! How easy it is instead to clutch at our possessions and opportunities so that they won't slip through our fingers. Yet God honors the man or woman willing to take Him at His word. Jesus said, "Only those who throw away their lives for My sake and the gospel's will ever know what it means to really live" (Mark 8:35 LB).

Ecc. 1:2
"'Meaningless! Meaningless!' says the Teacher. 'Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless!'"
If anyone could ever affirm the truth of this statement, it was the author, Solomon, King of Israel. He had it all-power, wealth, honor, glory, wisdom, and a large family! Yet he proclaimed it all worthless. Why? Solomon had forfeited the enjoyment of God's blessings by his disobedience. Even though he was used of God to bless the Queen of Sheba, Solomon encumbered God's plan to bless "all the families of the world" because of his sin of idolatry. With the channel of blessing diverted to personal pleasure, Solomon evaluated life as vain, empty, and futile. We, too, only enjoy God's gifts as we share them with others out of holiness and love.

Prov. 29:18
"Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; but blessed is he who keeps the law."
Murder. Robbery. Homosexuality. Assassinations. Child abuse. Drug abuse. This litany of horrors sounds like the front pages of our world's newspapers, doesn't it? The Bible gives the explanation: Where there is no revelation of God's law, people cast off the restraints that govern social behavior. Where God's Word and Christ's Church are not resident, the uninhibited forces of sin and selfishness ravage peoples and societies. But where messengers of good news have come to proclaim and demonstrate the way of love, and where men and women have congregated in believing fellowships, salt and light combat the decay and darkness.

pray: Lord Jesus, we hear and obey Your command to take the revelation of Your holiness and grace to the 10,000 unreached peoples.

PRAISE !! THE FATHER REMEMBERS OUR SINS *NO MORE!!**!!!

Isa 43:25 But I wipe away your sins because of who I am. And so, I will forget the wrongs you have done.

- a favourite memory verse of mine yet it's truth never hit home clearer than it just did now!

i had a dream last night of confessing my failure to love & be good to my parents .. woke up knowing i most certainly had to ask for their forgiveness!

so i confessed my sin to my dad, of the many times & many ways i was not as good to him as he was to me, said sorry & asked for his forgiveness.

... his reply: "its alright"

"no it's not alright! i need you to forgive me!"

... "OK, I FORGIVE YOU :) I DON'T REMEMBER THOSE THINGS AT ALL"

i thought to myself, "then how stupid of me to still remember all my wrongs?!"

truly beyond a shadow of a doubt Papa knew what he was doing when He gave me my earthly papa =D a man who, in spite of his human failings, still reflects the glory of The Father =D

another beautiful, sweet revelation of The Father's glory who "wipes away my sins because of who He is. And so, He will forget the wrongs I have done."

***THIS IS A GOD WE NEED TO TELL EVERY LIVING CREATURE ABOUT!! :)***

REMEMBER YOUR CHAINS by Steven Curtis chapman

1. I couldn't help but wonder what he was thinking As he stared out the window through the sky It seemed he was taking his last look at freedom From the hopeless longing look in his eyes There were chains on his hands and chains on his feet And as I passed him by the thought came to me

(Chorus) Remember your chains Remember the prison that once held you Before the love of God broke through Remember the place you were without grace When you see where you are now Remember your chains And remember you chains are gone

2. There's no one more thankful to sit at the table Than the one who best remembers hunger's pain And no heart loves greater than the one that is able To recall the time when all it knew was shame The wings of forgiveness can take us to heights never seen But the wisest ones, they will never lose sight of where they were set free Love set them free

(Chorus) Remember your chains Remember the prison that once held you Before the love of God broke through Remember the place you were without grace When you see where you are now Remember your chains And remember you chains are gone

Bridge And in the light of all that we've been forgiven of We will find our hearts fuller and freer
To give and receive God's love

(Chorus) Remember your chains Remember the prison that once held you Before the love of God broke through Remember the place you were without grace When you see where you are now Remember your chains And remember you chains are gone

pray for us!

Prov. 24:11, 12
"Rescue those being led away to death.... If you say, 'But we knew nothing about this,' does not He who weighs the heart perceive it?"
This verse was quoted by Hudson Taylor for the recruiting of workers in the early days of the China Inland Mission. Today millions of people in thousands of unreached people groups continue to be "led away" to death by the evil one. How will we respond? Will we pretend ignorance when we meet Jesus face-to-face? Or, recognizing that He knows our hearts and guards our lives from destruction, will we seek to rescue unreached peoples from a Christless eternity?

pray:Lord Jesus, we remember that we must all appear before Your judgment seat. We commit ourselves again today to "holding back" the unreached peoples by our prayers, our funds, and the missionaries we send. source: www.global-prayer-digest.org <-- GO HERE & pray EVERYDAY!!GO HERE & pray for an unreached people group EVERY HOUR!! www.prayerguard.net

~thanks~! GOD WORKS WHEN WE PRAY~!!*** ETERNITY WILL SHOW THE FULL FRUIT OF OUR PRAYERS***

may this principle rule our lives everyday in this blessed new year!

"I will place no value on anything I have or may possess except in relation to the Kingdom of God. If anything I have will advance that Kingdom, it shall be given away or kept only as by giving or keeping it I may advance the Kingdom of Him I love."

this principle David Livingstone [missionary to Africa] followed all his life.

Ps. 147:19, 20
"He has revealed His Word to Jacob, His laws and decrees to Israel. He has done this for no other nation; they do not know His laws."
Israel's highest privilege was her stewardship of the Word of God. Yahweh revealed His commands and precepts, His laws and ordinances, His judgments and decrees to Jacob's descendants. He ordained the nation as a "kingdom of priests," responsible to mediate His Word to those around them. God entrusted no other nation with such a privilege and related responsibility. Today we are surrounded by numerous translations of the Bible. Do we recognize that this privilege carries with it the same awesome responsibility to bless the nations?
Pray:
Father, we have such abundant access to Your Word that we easily take it for granted. Give us a new compassion for those without the Scriptures and without the knowledge of Christ.
