1 One Year Bible Intercessors... This Sunday Is Sanctity of Human Life Sunday! And, this Thursday is the 42nd March for Life for the Unborn in Washington, DC. For more information and how to participate, please go to: A young girl holds up her Pro-Life sign in 2013 at the 40th March for Life in Washington, DC. 650,000 attendees marched to show their support for overturning the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion in This 7-2 vote has resulted in over 55 million babies being aborted since January 22, In my relatively short lifetime, I have never met one woman or man who was glad that they had, or participated in an abortion...

2 In His Word, we find out why an abortion is such a vicious, condemning and unrelenting sin that only child-like faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ can heal. We ask that His Holy Spirit will intercede for all affected by abortion, and will eternally meet their special needs. May all affected know that they are truly loved by their Heavenly Father who will never leave them or let them go! We find in God's Magnificent Word comfort, forgiveness and answers to post abortion regret, so that all survivors can live life with His healing and forgiveness, and hope for a reunion in Heaven with their beloved little ones. We pray for all affected by the pain of abortion to once more "Choose Life" for their lives, so that they can be led to Him for forgiveness, to receive healing, and to live without pain and regret... We ask for more and more to Choose Life! In Jesus' Mighty and Loving Name we pray. Amen. "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." ("Jesus Gives True Rest" Matthew 11:28-30 NKJV) Prayers for America... President Reagan with Dr. King's widow, Coretta, as he signs legislation creating "Martin Luther King, Jr. Day" at a ceremony in the Rose Garden, on November 2, Creator of America, You knew the heartache that our nation would face due to racial and abortion strife, two heart wrenching concerns Americans face this week. May You be honored, blessed and

3 recognized in all activities surrounding Martin Luther King, Jr. Day this Monday, as well as the 42nd March for the Unborn on Thursday. May these events lead to healing and reconciliation for all Americans, no matter their race or gender. May all of us affected, throughout America and the world that God has created; be freed from pain resulting from racial divide and pro-abortion legislation. May these demonically indwelled destroyers, racial discrimination and abortion, be conquered and destroyed for our Creator's Glory! In Jesus' Matchless Name we pray. Amen. "I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; that you may love the Lord your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them." ("The Choice of Life or Death" Deuteronomy 30:19-20 NKJV) Thank you for continuing to pray the Lord's Prayer for His Blessings... to be upon our nation, Israel and for the Whole World that He has created...

4 Our Father, who art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done, on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the Kingdom, and the Power and the Glory forever and ever. Amen. "The Lord's Prayer" (Watercolor by James Jacques Tissot, circa , Brooklyn Museum) Kenya is among the few blessed nations, including France last November, that have honored God with a National Day of Repentance... Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta called for a National Day of Repentance last June 23, 2014 and declared Kenya to be a Christian nation in the spring of Prior to Kenya's presidential election in February, 2013, a

5 three-day National Day of Repentance was called and presidential candidates attended and prayed along with the intercessors... "As we come before the Almighty God in prayer, I call upon Kenyans to seek forgiveness and repent for our wrong doing. Let us also forgive one another and pray for reconciliation and healing in our country. I urge Kenyans to remember that we are all equal in the eyes of God, and we must forge ahead as one, united people." -Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta May other African nations including Cameroon, Liberia, Niger, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone; who recently have suffered terrorism and atrocities against Christians, plus the devastating Ebola virus, seek God and honor Him with a National Day of Repentance... Through His help, may their enemies be destroyed and may they nationally have eternal healing and salvation for their land! May all nations of the world seek their Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen. "The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, a broken and a contrite heart--these, O God, You will not despise." ("A Prayer of Repentance" A Psalm of David when Nathan the prophet went to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba. Psalm 51:17 NKJV)

6 Prayers for Israel and the Middle East... New Moon/Rosh Chodesh Shevat This week Tuesday, January 20th at sundown, through sundown Wednesday, January 21st; God has given us a new Jewish month, Shevat, through His monthly New Moon Feast called Rosh Chodesh. Rosh Chodesh or "New Moon" is this Week... Sundown, Tuesday, January 20th through Sundown, Wednesday, January 21st A New Moon always announces the beginning of a new month in the Jewish Calendar. This new moon or Rosh Chodesh will be the ending of the Jewish month called Kislev, and the beginning of the Jewish month of Tevet... Note: The the first day of the Jewish month of Shevat, 1 Shevat, is traditionally thought to be the day that Moses began his 37-day review of Torah for the Israelites before his death on 7 Adar, and resting with his Creator. In the Book of Numbers, God speaks of the celebration of the new moon to Moses:

7 "Also in the day of your gladness, in your appointed feasts, and at the beginning of your months, you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; and they shall be memorial for your before your God: I am the Lord your God." ("Two Silver Trumpets" Numbers 10:10 NKJV) The Sanhedrin, as depicted in the Second Temple... The occurrence of Rosh Chodesh was originally based on the testimony of witnesses observing the new moon. Two reliable witnesses appeared before the Jewish ruling body called the Sanhedrin, and the day that the new moon was sighted, was declared as Rosh Chodesh, either making the month a full month or a defective, 29-day month. After declaring the new month, news of it would then be communicated, originally by lit torches, throughout Israel; and much later, throughout the Diaspora, into the other lands in which Jews now reside. In modern times, a Jewish custom was developed in which an additional day could be added to the month to ensure that certain holidays (such as Yom Kippur) did not fall on the days before or after Shabbat. To learn more about the monthly Jewish Feast of Rosh Chodesh please go to: sing_the_new_moon.shtml And, we thank HaShem for Prime Minister Netanyahu announcing that

8 all French Jews are welcome to make Aliyah, and to come home and live in Israel! PM Calls on French Jews: Come Home to Israel Ari Soffer Apostle Paul and Moses wrote about YHVH's great love for the Israelites. Because of the recent religious and politically motivated murders in France, His love is still being showed today to the Jews. May they thank HaShem for His love, and if He calls them to make Aliyah, may His anointed return home to Israel, soon! "For He says to Moses, 'I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.' Therefore He has mercy on whom He wills, and whom He wills He hardens." ("Israel's Rejection and God's Purpose" Romans 9:15 and 18; and Exodus 33:19 NKJV) May Israel be saved unto her Creator. May Israel, the Middle East and the whole world and universe that He has created, as much as is possible, come to know Yeshua as their HaMashiach (Savior.) We ask this prayer knowing that if one becomes a new man in Yeshua, his sins are forgiven, and he is a new man, indeed! Amen.

For our faithful intercessors and readers, we have developed a "One Year Bible and Torah Readings Letter," with an attached amplified weekly Sunday-Saturday "One Year Bible" Word document that includes One Year Bible Scripture references, as well as their chapter headings. Our history is that to learn more about our Judeo-Christian roots, approximately five-years ago, we added into the existing "One Year Bible" weekly letter, the traditional Shabbat Torah/Old Testament and Haftarah/Prophets Readings read by

13 observant Jews worldwide. We have also included the Brit Chadashah or New Testament Readings read by Messianic Jews. This easy-to-use format gives us a "heads-up" for daily Scripture readings, and tells us what the weekly Shabbat Torah readings are for Friday and Saturday. We can read and pray through the Bible and Torah readings, and compare their teachings to world, national, state and local headlines; as well as to situations in our daily personal and business lives! Again, attached to this letter is this week's "Word" document of One Year Bible Readings amplified with chapter headings. As the Lord leads, I have highlighted key verses in purple...his color of royalty. God Is So Good! In closing, I pray that you will be blessed as you read God's Word in His "Amplified One Year Bible" and in His Messianic Torah, Haftarah/Prophets and Brit Chadashah/New Testament Readings. I pray that our combined prayers, covering America, Israel and the Whole World that He has Created, will help establish God's Kingdom on earth as it is in Heaven! I ask that God will richly bless all who read and pray with God's Word. I ask God to bless the faithful who pray for America, Israel and the Whole World that He has Created, in the Day and Night Watches! And I pray, that God will bless all who follow His Leading and His Word...

14 May many be added to His flock daily, for His Glory, until Jesus Returns! In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen. Susan Turner, Scribe Amplified One Year Bible and Torah Readings P.S.
