One Year Bible Intercessors...

Transcription

1 One Year Bible Intercessors... This past week I had the pleasure of watching over three small children who truly love the Lord with all of their heart! On Thursday, 9-11, their Bible verse to share was Galatians 5: The Fruits of the Spirit...and the "Word for the Day" was Love... "But the fruit of the Sprit is love, joy, peace longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law." ("Walking in the Spirit" Galatians 5:22-23 NKJV) The oldest son, Josiah, asked me several times throughout the day how the terrorists could do what they did on And I explained to him that their actions showed the opposite meaning of Love, and what they did was hate... They hated God. They hated themselves, and they hated others who did not worship their false god. We prayed along with his little sister, that the sons and daughters of Ishmael would be saved unto Jesus and that America would never be attacked like this again. I thank God for giving His wisdom and insight to the very young. It gives renewed hope for America! What a Great God we love and serve. Amen. Tragic News...The continued suffering this world is experiencing is horrendous... Despite his family's pleas for his life, British subject and humanitarian worker David Cawthorne Haines, was murdered Saturday by the islamic state. We pray comfort for David's wife, two daughters and family. May

2 God Himself stop and bring these lawless murderers to justice. May His Shalom rule and overrule throughout the Middle East, Israel, America, Great Britain, and throughout the whole earth and universe that He has created. May His promise to David in Psalm 9 come true. Amen. "The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. For the needy shall not always be forgotten; the expectation of the poor shall not perish forever. Arise, O Lord, do not let man prevail; let the nations be judged in Your sight. Put them in fear, O Lord, that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah." ("Prayer and Thanksgiving for the Lord's Righteous Judgments" A Psalm of David. Psalm 9:17-20 NKJV) Prayers for America... May God save this country that was given birth by Him to help Israel and the earth and universe that He has created. May America no longer selfishly and silently stand by doing nothing, while allowing

3 death, murder and mayhem to overtake the world that God has asked her to help. May our mighty God remove those in leadership that do not follow Him and His Commandments and replace them with His children. May He bless and keep those like this veteran who cares about Him, and His America. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen.

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.

10 For Those New to Our One Year Bible and Readings...Welcome! 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, over four years ago, we added into the existing "One Year Bible" weekly letter, the traditional Shabbat Torah/Old Testament and Haftarah/Prophets Readings read by 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!

11 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... May many be added to His flock daily, for His Glory, until Jesus Returns! In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen.
