Day 35 of My 4th Bible Study Journey

[The Doctor]

Day 35, 4 February 2024

today at <a href="https://www.calvarycommunity.ca"> Calvary Community Church
</a> Pastor Barry Regier spoke on Countering the emeny in our heart.

Romans 15:4

Acts 4:36-37 (A good example of a Good Example)

36 (1Co 9:6; Mk 3:17) Joseph, whom the apostles called Barna­bas
(which means, Son of Encouragement), a Levite from the land of Cyprus,
37 sold a field he owned, and brought the money
and placed it at the apostles' feet.

[36] And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being
interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of
Cyprus,
[37] Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the
apostles' feet.

Acts 5

Ananias and Sapphira (A good example of a Bad Example)

1 Now a man named Ananias, with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property.
2 (Ac 4:37) He kept back part of the proceeds with his wife's knowledge,
and brought a part of it and placed it at the apostles' feet.
3 (Jn 13:2; 13:27) Then Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled
your heart to deceive the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the proceeds
of the land?
4 (Ac 5:3) While it remained unsold, was it not your own?
And when it was sold, was it not under your authority?
Why have you conceived this deed in your heart? You did not lie to men,
but to God."
5 (Ac 5:10-11; 2:43) On hearing these words, Ananias fell down and died.
And great fear came on all those who heard these things.
6 (Jn 19:40) The young men rose and wrapped him up
and carried him out and buried him.
7 About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.
8 Peter said to her, "Tell me whether you sold the land for this amount?"
She said, "Yes, for that much."
9 (Ac 5:3-4; 1Co 10:9) Peter said to her, "How is it that you have agreed
together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look! The feet of those who have
buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out."
10 At once she fell down at his feet and died. Upon entering,
the young men found her dead and carried her out and buried her beside
her husband.
11 (Ac 5:5; 19:17) Great fear came on the entire church
and on all those who heard these things.

[1] But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a
possession,
[2] And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and
brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet.
[3] But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the
Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
[4] Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it
not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart?
thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.
[5] And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and
great fear came on all them that heard these things.
[6] And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried
him.
[7] And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not
knowing what was done, came in.
[8] And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so
much? And she said, Yea, for so much.
[9] Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to
tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy
husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.
[10] Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost:
and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth,
buried her by her husband.
[11] And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard
these things.

Wanting to appear spiritual

1 Now a man named Ananias, with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property.
2 (Ac 4:37) He kept back part of the proceeds with his wife's knowledge,
and brought a part of it and placed it at the apostles' feet.

[1] But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a
possession,
[2] And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and
brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet.

...yet thinking out sin is private,

God sees throught it...

Acts 5:3-4

3 (Jn 13:2; 13:27) Then Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled
your heart to deceive the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the proceeds
of the land?
4 (Ac 5:3) While it remained unsold, was it not your own?
And when it was sold, was it not under your authority?
Why have you conceived this deed in your heart? You did not lie to men,
but to God."

[3] But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the
Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
[4] Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it
not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart?
thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.

1 Peter 5:8

8 (Job 2:2; Eph 6:11) Be sober and watchful, because your adversary
the devil walks around as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

[8] Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring
lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

...and will judge us for it

Acts 5:5-10

5 (Ac 5:10-11; 2:43) On hearing these words, Ananias fell down and died.
And great fear came on all those who heard these things.
6 (Jn 19:40) The young men rose and wrapped him up
and carried him out and buried him.
7 About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.
8 Peter said to her, "Tell me whether you sold the land for this amount?"
She said, "Yes, for that much."
9 (Ac 5:3-4; 1Co 10:9) Peter said to her, "How is it that you have agreed
together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look! The feet of those who have
buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out."
10 At once she fell down at his feet and died. Upon entering,
the young men found her dead and carried her out and buried her beside
her husband.

[5] And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and
great fear came on all them that heard these things.
[6] And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried
him.
[7] And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not
knowing what was done, came in.
[8] And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so
much? And she said, Yea, for so much.
[9] Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to
tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy
husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.
[10] Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost:
and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth,
buried her by her husband.

Psalm 145:8-9

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) The Lord is gracious and full of compassion,
slow to anger, and great in mercy.
9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) The Lord is good to all,
and His compassion is over all His works.

[8] The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of
great mercy.
[9] The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.

Deuteronomy 32:4

4 (Dt 32:18; Ps 92:15) He is the Rock; His work is perfect;
for all His ways are just.
He is a God of faithfulness and without injustice;
righteous and upright is He.
[4] He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment:
a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.

Hosea 2:19

19 (Jer 3:14-15; 2Co 11:2) I will take you for My wife forever.
I will take you for My wife in righteousness and in justice,
in mercy and in compassion.

[19] And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto
me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies.

In His death, Christ showcases God's Justice and Mercy

Titus 3:4-6

4 (Titus 2:10-11) But when the kindness and the love of God our Saviour
toward mankind appeared,
5 (Ro 12:2; 1Pe 3:21) not by works of righteousness which we have done,
but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of rebirth
and the renewal of the Holy Spirit,
6 (Ro 5:5; Joel 2:28) whom He poured out on us abundantly through
Jesus Christ our Saviour,

[4] But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man
appeared,
[5] Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his
mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy
Ghost;
[6] Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

Romans 3:26

26 to prove His righteousness at this present time so that He might
be just and be the justifier of him who has faith in Jesus.

[26] To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be
just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

Hebrews 12:5-13

5 (Pr 3:11-12) And you have forgotten the exhortation addressed
to you as sons:
"My son, do not despise the discipline from the Lord,
nor grow weary when you are rebuked by Him;
6 (Rev 3:19; Ps 119:75; Pr 3:12) for whom the Lord loves He disciplines,
and scourges every son whom He receives."
7 (Pr 13:24; 19:18) Endure discipline; God is dealing with you as with sons.
For what son is there whom a father does not discipline?
8 If you are without discipline, of which everyone has partaken,
then you are illegitimate children and not sons.
9 (Nu 16:22; 27:16) Furthermore, we have had human fathers,
and they corrected us, and we gave them reverence.
Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live?
10 (2Pe 1:4) For they indeed disciplined us for a short time according
to their own judgment, but He does so for our profit, that we may partake
of His holiness.
11 (Isa 32:17; Jas 3:17-18) Now no discipline seems to be joyful at the time,
but grievous. Yet afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness
in those who have been trained by it.
12 (Isa 35:3; Job 4:3-4) Therefore lift up your tired hands,
and strengthen your weak knees.
13 (Gal 6:1; Pr 4:26-27) Make straight paths for your feet,
lest that which is lame go out of joint, but rather be healed.

[5] And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto
children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint
when thou art rebuked of him:
[6] For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he
receiveth.
[7] If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son
is he whom the father chasteneth not?
[8] But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are
ye bastards, and not sons.
[9] Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we
gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the
Father of spirits, and live?
[10] For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure;
but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
[11] Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous:
nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto
them which are exercised thereby.
[12] Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;
[13] And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be
turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.

1 Corinthians 5:4-5

4 (Jn 20:23; 2Co 13:3) in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
When you are assembled, along with my spirit,
in the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
5 (1Ti 1:20; 1Co 1:8) deliver him to Satan for the destruction of the flesh,
so that the spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord Jesus.

[4] In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and
my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
[5] To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that
the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

1 Corinthians 11:27-32

Partaking of the Supper Unworthily

27 (Nu 9:10; 9:13) Therefore whoever eats this bread and drinks this cup
of the Lord unworthily will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
28 (2Co 13:5; Gal 6:4) Let a man examine himself,
and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup.
29 For he who eats and drinks unworthily, eats and drinks damnation
to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
30 For this reason many are weak and unhealthy among you, and many die.
31 (1Jn 1:9) If we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged.
32 But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord,
so that we would not be condemned with the world.

[27] Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the
Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
[28] But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and
drink of that cup.
[29] For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh
damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
[30] For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
[31] For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
[32] But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should
not be condemned with the world.

1 Corinthians 4:5

5 (Ro 2:16; 2:1; 2:29) Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time
until the Lord comes. He will bring to light the hidden things of darkness
and will reveal the purposes of the hearts. Then everyone will have
commendation from God.

[5] Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both
will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest
the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.

2 Corinthians 10:5

5 (Isa 2:11-12; 1Co 1:19) casting down imaginations and every high thing that
exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into
captivity to the obedience of Christ,

[5] Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself
against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to
the obedience of Christ;

EXODUS 16

Bread and Quail

1 (Nu 33:10-12) Then they set out from Elim, and all the congregation of
the children of Israel came to the Wilderness of Sin, which is between
Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their
departing out of the land of Egypt.
2 (Ex 15:24; 1Co 10:10) The whole congregation of the children of Israel
murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness.
3 (La 4:9; Ex 17:3) Now the children of Israel said to them, "Would to
God we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt,
when we sat by the pots of meat, when we ate bread to the full,
for you have brought us forth into this wilderness to kill this whole
assembly with hunger." (Whine and Cry impatiently)
4 (Ex 15:25; Ps 78:24-25) Then the Lord said to Moses,
"Indeed, I will rain bread from heaven for you. And the people shall
go out and gather a certain amount every day, that I may test them,
whether they will walk in My law or not.
5 And it shall come to pass that on the sixth day they shall prepare
that which they bring in, and it will be twice as much as they gather daily."
6 (Ex 6:7; 16:12-13) So Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel,
"At evening, you shall know that the Lord has brought you out from
the land of Egypt.
7 (Nu 16:11; Ex 16:10) And in the morning you shall see the glory of the Lord,
because He hears your murmurings against the Lord. And what are
we that you murmur against us?"
8 (1Sa 8:7; Ro 13:2) Then Moses said, "This will happen when the Lord
gives you meat to eat in the evening and bread in the morning to satisfy,
for the Lord hears your murmurings which you murmur against Him.
And what are we? Your murmurings are not against us, but against the Lord."
9 (Nu 16:16) Then Moses said to Aaron, "Say to all the congregation
of the children of Israel, 'Come near before the Lord, for He has
heard your murmurings.'"
10 (Ex 16:7; Nu 16:19) So as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation
of the children of Israel, they looked toward the wilderness,
and indeed, the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud.
11 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
12 (Ex 6:7; Joel 3:17) "I have heard the murmurings
of the children of Israel. Speak to them, saying, 'In the evening
you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread.
And you shall know that I am the Lord your God.' "
13 (Nu 11:9; Ps 78:27-28) So in the evening the quail came up
and covered the camp, and in the morning a layer of dew
was surrounding the camp.
14 (Nu 11:7-9; Ps 105:40) When the layer of dew evaporated,
on the surface of the wilderness there lay a small flaky thing,
as fine as the frost on the ground.
15 (Ex 16:4; Dt 8:3) When the children of Israel saw it, they said one
to another, "What is it?" For they did not know what it was.
And Moses said to them, "This is the bread which the Lord has
given you to eat.
16 (Ex 16:36) This is what the Lord has commanded, 'Every man is
to gather of it according to what he will eat, an omer
(About 9 inches, or 23 centimeters. )
for every man, according to the number of your people.
Every man should take for them for whoever lives in his tent.'"
17 The children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less.
18 When they measured it with an omer, he that gathered much had
nothing left over, and he that gathered little had no lack.
They gathered every man according what he could eat.
19 (Ex 12:10; 23:18) Moses said to them,
"Let no man leave any of it until the morning."
20 However, they did not listen to Moses, and some of them left part of it
until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank,
and Moses was angry with them.
21 So they gathered it every morning, every man according
to what he could eat. And when the sun got hot, it melted.
22 (Ex 16:5) Now on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread,
two omers (Likely about 6 pounds, or 2.8 kilograms.) per man,
and then all the leaders of the congregation came and told Moses.
23 (Lev 23:3; Ex 20:8-11) He said to them, "This is what the Lord has said,
'Tomorrow is the Sabbath, a holy Sabbath to the Lord.
Bake that which you will bake today, and boil that you will boil,
and all that which remains over lay up for yourselves to be kept
until the morning.'"
24 (Ex 16:20) So they laid it up until the morning, just as Moses commanded,
and it did not stink, nor was there any worm in it.
25 (Ex 16:23) Moses said, "Eat it today, for today is a Sabbath to the Lord.
Today you will not find it in the field.
26 Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day,
the Sabbath, there will be none."
27 It happened that some of the people went out on
the seventh day to gather, but they found nothing.
28 (Ps 78:10; 2Ki 17:14) Then the Lord said to Moses,
"How long will you refuse to keep My commandments and My instructions?
29 See, the Lord has given you the Sabbath;
therefore He gives you bread for two days
on the sixth day. Every man remain in his place.
Let no man go out of his place on the seventh day."
30 So the people rested on the seventh day.
31 (Ex 16:15) The house of Israel named it manna, and it was
like coriander seed and was white,
and its taste was like wafers made with honey.
32 Then Moses said, "This is what the Lord has commanded,
'Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations to come,
so that they may see the bread that I fed you in the wilderness,
when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.'"
33 (Heb 9:4) Moses said to Aaron, "Take a pot
and put an omer full of manna in it, and place it before the Lord,
to be kept for generations to come."
34 (Ex 25:16; 25:21) As the Lord commanded Moses, so Aaron placed it
before the testimony, to be kept.
35 (Jos 5:12; Ne 9:20-21) The children of Israel ate manna forty years,
until they came to an inhabited land.
They ate the manna until they came to the border of the land of Canaan.
36 (Ex 16:16) Now an omer is one-tenth of an ephah.

Exodus 16
[1] And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the
children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim
and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing
out of the land of Egypt.
[2] And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against
Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:
[3] And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by
the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots,
and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into
this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.
[4] Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for
you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I
may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no.
[5] And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that
which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.
[6] And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At even, then
ye shall know that the LORD hath brought you out from the land of Egypt:
[7] And in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the LORD; for that he
heareth your murmurings against the LORD: and what are we, that ye murmur
against us?
[8] And Moses said, This shall be, when the LORD shall give you in the
evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the
LORD heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we?
your murmurings are not against us, but against the LORD.
[9] And Moses spake unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the
children of Israel, Come near before the LORD: for he hath heard your
murmurings.
[10] And it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the whole congregation of the
children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the
glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud.
[11] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[12] I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them,
saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled
with bread; and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God.
[13] And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and covered the
camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the host.
[14] And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the
wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the
ground.
[15] And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is
manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the
bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.
[16] This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, Gather of it every man
according to his eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of
your persons; take ye every man for them which are in his tents.
[17] And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less.
[18] And when they did mete it with an omer, he that gathered much had
nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every
man according to his eating.
[19] And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning.
[20] Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of
it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and Moses was wroth with
them.
[21] And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating:
and when the sun waxed hot, it melted.
[22] And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much
bread, two omers for one man: and all the rulers of the congregation came
and told Moses.
[23] And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath said, To morrow
is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye will bake
to day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up
for you to be kept until the morning.
[24] And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not
stink, neither was there any worm therein.
[25] And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath unto the LORD:
to day ye shall not find it in the field.
[26] Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the
sabbath, in it there shall be none.
[27] And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the
seventh day for to gather, and they found none.
[28] And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my
commandments and my laws?
[29] See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth
you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place,
let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.
[30] So the people rested on the seventh day.
[31] And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it was like
coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.
[32] And Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD commandeth, Fill an
omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread
wherewith I have fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from
the land of Egypt.
[33] And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna
therein, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for your generations.
[34] As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony,
to be kept.
[35] And the children of Israel did eat manna forty years, until they came
to a land inhabited; they did eat manna, until they came unto the borders of
the land of Canaan.
[36] Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.

EXODUS 17

Water From the Rock

1 (Ex 16:1; 19:2)All the congregation of the children of Israel
journeyed from the Wilderness of Sin, from place to place,
according to the commandment of the Lord, and pitched in Rephidim,
but there was no water for the people to drink.
2 (Dt 6:16; Ps 78:18) Therefore the people contended with Moses and said,
"Give us water so that we may drink."
And Moses said to them,
"Why do you contend with me? Why do you test the Lord?"
3 (Ex 16:2-3) But the people thirsted there for water,
and the people murmured against Moses, and said,
"Why is it that you have brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us
and our children and our livestock with thirst?"
4 (Nu 14:10; 1Sa 30:6) Then Moses cried out to the Lord, saying,
"What shall I do to this people? They are almost ready to stone me."
5 The Lord said to Moses, "Pass over before the people,
and take with you some of the elders of Israel.
And take in your hand your rod with which you struck the Nile, and go.
6 (Ps 114:8; 1Co 10:4) Indeed, I will stand before you there on the rock
in Horeb, and you shall strike the rock,
and there water shall come out of it, so that the people may drink."
Then Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
7 (Nu 20:13; Ps 81:7) He called the name of the place Massah,
and Meribah, because of the contending of the children of Israel,
and because they tested the Lord, saying, "Is the Lord among us, or not?"

[1] And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the
wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the commandment of the
LORD, and pitched in Rephidim: and there was no water for the people to
drink.
[2] Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, and said, Give us water that
we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why chide ye with me? wherefore do
ye tempt the LORD?
[3] And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against
Moses, and said, Wherefore is this that thou hast brought us up out of
Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?
[4] And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, What shall I do unto this people?
they be almost ready to stone me.
[5] And the LORD said unto Moses, Go on before the people, and take with
thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river,
take in thine hand, and go.
[6] Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou
shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people
may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
[7] And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the
chiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the LORD,
saying, Is the LORD among us, or not?

The Amalekites Defeated

8 (Ge 36:12; 1Sa 15:2) Then Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
9 (Ex 4:20; 24:13) So Moses said to Joshua, "Choose men for us and go out,
fight against Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with
the rod of God in my hand."
10 (Ex 24:14) So Joshua did as Moses had said to him
and fought against Amalek. And Moses, Aaron,
and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
11 (1Ti 2:8; Jas 5:16) Now when Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed,
but when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
12 (Isa 35:3) But Moses' hands became heavy. So they took a stone,
and put it under him, and he sat on it.
And Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side,
and the other on the other side.
And his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
(Support is always great to have)
13 So Joshua laid low Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
14 (Ex 34:27; 1Sa 30:17) Then the Lord said to Moses, "Write this as
a memorial in a book and rehearse it to Joshua,
for I will utterly wipe out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven."
15 (Ge 22:14; Jdg 6:24) Then Moses built an altar and called the name of it,
The Lord Is My Banner;
16 for he said, "For the Lord has sworn that the Lord will have
war with Amalek from generation to generation."

[8] Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
[9] And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with
Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in
mine hand.
[10] So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and
Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
[11] And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel
prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
[12] But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under
him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on
the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady
until the going down of the sun.
[13] And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the
sword.
[14] And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and
rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the
remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.
[15] And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovah-nissi:
[16] For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn that the LORD will have war
with Amalek from generation to generation.

EXODUS 18

Jethro Counsels Moses

1 (Ex 2:16; 3:1) Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses' father-in-law,
heard of all that God had done for Moses, and for Israel His people,
and that the Lord had brought Israel out of Egypt.
2 (Ex 2:21) Then Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, took Zipporah, Moses' wife,
after he had sent her back,
3 (Ex 2:22; Ac 7:29; Ex 4:20) and her two sons, one of whom was named Gershom;
for he said, "I have been a sojourner in a foreign land."
4 And the name of the other was Eliezer, for he said, "The God of my father
was my help, and He delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh."
5 (Ex 3:1; 3:12) Then Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, came with his sons
and his wife to Moses in the wilderness, where he camped at the mountain
of God.
6 And he said to Moses, "I, your father-in-law, Jethro, am coming to you,
and your wife, and her two sons with her."
7 (Ge 29:13; 14:17) Then Moses went out to meet his father-in-law,
and bowed down and kissed him; and they asked each other of the other's
welfare, and then they went into the tent.
8 (Nu 20:14; Ne 9:9-15) Moses told his father-in-law all that the Lord
had done to Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake,
and all the hardships that had come on them along the way,
and how the Lord delivered them.
9 Jethro rejoiced because of all the goodness which the Lord had
done for Israel, whom He had delivered out of the hand of the Egyptians.
10 (Ge 14:20; 2Sa 18:28) Jethro said, "The Lord be blessed, who has delivered
you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh, who
has delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians.
11 (2Ch 2:5; Lk 1:51) Now I know that the Lord is greater than all gods,
for in the matter in which they treated the people insolently,
He was above them."
12 (Ge 31:54; Dt 12:7) Then Jethro, Moses' father-in-law,
took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God,
and Aaron and all the elders of Israel came to eat bread with
Moses' father-in-law before God.
13 On the next day, Moses sat to judge the people, and the people stood
around Moses from the morning until the evening.
14 When Moses' father-in-law saw all that he was doing for the people,
he said, "What is this thing that you are doing for the people?
Why are you sitting by yourself while all the people stand
around you from morning until evening?"
15 (Nu 15:34; 27:5) Then Moses said to his father-in-law,
"Because the people come to me to inquire of God.
16 (Ex 24:14; Dt 4:5) When they have a dispute, it comes to me,
and I judge between a man and his neighbor,
and I make known the statutes of God and His laws."
17 Moses' father-in-law said to him, "What you are doing is not good.
18 You will surely wear yourself out, both you,
and these people who are with you,
for this thing is too heavy for you.
You are not able to do it by yourself.
19 (Nu 27:5; Ex 3:12) Now listen to me, I will advise you,
and may God be with you:
You be a representative for the people to God
so that you may bring their disputes to God.
20 (Dt 1:18; Ps 143:8) And you shall teach them the statutes and laws
and shall show them the way in which they must walk and the work
that they must do.
21 (2Ch 19:5-10; Ac 6:3) Moreover, you shall choose out of all the people
capable men who fear God, men of truth, hating dishonest gain,
and place these men over them, to be rulers of thousands,
rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.
22 (Nu 11:17; Ex 18:26) Let them judge the people at all times,
and let it be that every difficult matter they shall bring to you,
but every small matter they shall judge, so that it will be easier for you,
and they will bear the burden with you.
23 (Ex 18:18) If you shall do this thing and God commands you so,
then you will be able to endure,
and all these people also will go to their place in peace."
(And so start a justice system of elders)
24 So Moses listened to his father-in-law
and did everything that he had said.
25 (Dt 1:15; Ex 18:21) Moses chose capable men out of all Israel
and made them heads over the people, rulers of thousands,
rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.
26 (Ex 18:22) They judged the people at all times.
They brought the difficult cases to Moses,
but they judged every small matter themselves.
27 (Nu 10:29-30) Moses sent out his father-in-law,
and he went his way to his own land.

Exodus 18
[1] When Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses' father in law, heard of all
that God had done for Moses, and for Israel his people, and that the LORD
had brought Israel out of Egypt;
[2] Then Jethro, Moses' father in law, took Zipporah, Moses' wife, after he
had sent her back,
[3] And her two sons; of which the name of the one was Gershom; for he said,
I have been an alien in a strange land:
[4] And the name of the other was Eliezer; for the God of my father, said
he, was mine help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh:
[5] And Jethro, Moses' father in law, came with his sons and his wife unto
Moses into the wilderness, where he encamped at the mount of God:
[6] And he said unto Moses, I thy father in law Jethro am come unto thee,
and thy wife, and her two sons with her.
[7] And Moses went out to meet his father in law, and did obeisance, and
kissed him; and they asked each other of their welfare; and they came into
the tent.
[8] And Moses told his father in law all that the LORD had done unto Pharaoh
and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake, and all the travail that had come
upon them by the way, and how the LORD delivered them.
[9] And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which the LORD had done to
Israel, whom he had delivered out of the hand of the Egyptians.
[10] And Jethro said, Blessed be the LORD, who hath delivered you out of the
hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh, who hath delivered
the people from under the hand of the Egyptians.
[11] Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods: for in the thing
wherein they dealt proudly he was above them.
[12] And Jethro, Moses' father in law, took a burnt offering and sacrifices
for God: and Aaron came, and all the elders of Israel, to eat bread with
Moses' father in law before God.
[13] And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses sat to judge the people:
and the people stood by Moses from the morning unto the evening.
[14] And when Moses' father in law saw all that he did to the people, he
said, What is this thing that thou doest to the people? why sittest thou
thyself alone, and all the people stand by thee from morning unto even?
[15] And Moses said unto his father in law, Because the people come unto me
to inquire of God:
[16] When they have a matter, they come unto me; and I judge between one and
another, and I do make them know the statutes of God, and his laws.
[17] And Moses' father in law said unto him, The thing that thou doest is
not good.
[18] Thou wilt surely wear away, both thou, and this people that is with
thee: for this thing is too heavy for thee; thou art not able to perform it
thyself alone.
[19] Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and God shall be
with thee: Be thou for the people to Godward, that thou mayest bring the
causes unto God:
[20] And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, and shalt shew them the
way wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do.
[21] Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as
fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be
rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers
of tens:
[22] And let them judge the people at all seasons: and it shall be, that
every great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small matter they
shall judge: so shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear the
burden with thee.
[23] If thou shalt do this thing, and God command thee so, then thou shalt
be able to endure, and all this people shall also go to their place in
peace.
[24] So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father in law, and did all that
he had said.
[25] And Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over
the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and
rulers of tens.
[26] And they judged the people at all seasons: the hard causes they brought
unto Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.
[27] And Moses let his father in law depart; and he went his way into his
own land.

(THank you Jethro for your wisdom and passing on the Moses)

Psalm 103:1-8,17

1 Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and all that is within me, bless His holy name.
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and forget not all His benefits,
3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) who forgives all your iniquities,
who heals all your diseases,
4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) who redeems your life from the pit,
who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,
5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) who satisfies your mouth with good things,
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) The Lord does righteousness
and justice for all who are oppressed.
7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) He made known His ways to Moses,
His acts to the people of Israel.
8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) The Lord is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.
17 But the mercy of the Lord
is from everlasting to everlasting
upon those who fear Him,
and His righteousness to children's children,

[1] Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy

lovingkindness and tender mercies;
[5] Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed
like the eagle's.

oppressed.

mercy.

that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;

After being diagnosed with a brain tumour, Christina Costa noticed how much
of the talk around facing cancer is dominated by the language of fighting.
She found that this metaphor quickly started to feel exhausting.
She "didn't want to spend over a year at war with [her] own body." Instead,
what she found most helpful were daily practices of gratitude-for the team
of professionals caring for her and for the ways her brain and body were
showing healing. She experienced firsthand that no matter how difficult
the struggle, practices of gratitude can help us resist depression
and "wire our brains to help us build resilience."

Costa's powerful story reminded me that practicing gratitude isn't just
something believers do out of duty. Although it's true that God deserves
our gratitude, it's also profoundly good for us. When we lift up our hearts
to say, "Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits"
(Psalm 103:2), we're reminded of the countless ways God's at work-assuring
us of forgiveness, working healing in our bodies and hearts, letting us
experience "love and compassion" and countless "good things"
in His creation (vv. 3–5).

While not all suffering will find complete healing in this lifetime,
our hearts can always be renewed by gratitude, for God's love is with us
"from everlasting to everlasting" (v. 17).

Week 5 Rejoice in Grace - Day 1 Call to the Lord - 2 Samuel 22:3-4

3 (Ge 15:1; Ps 9:9) the God of my strength, in whom I will trust;
my shield and the horn of my salvation,
my fortress and my sanctuary;
my Savior, You save me from violence.
4 (Ps 48:1; 96:4) I call upon the Lord, who is praiseworthy,
and I am saved from my enemies.

3 The God of my rock; in him will I trust:
He is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge,
My saviour; thou savest me from violence.
4 I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised:
So shall I be saved from mine enemies.

In the old Days of Television Western, we could always tell who the enemy was.
The bad guys wore black hats; the evil villain had a scar across
his cheek or a patch over one eye. But real life is
not quite so simple . Enemies come in many forms, and often are not easy to
recognise. Sin is an enemy; even those we love can seek
to undermine our faith;
modern materialism and distorted values lead us away from biblical principles.
These enemies may not seek our death in a physical sense,
but their influence results in spiritual death or, at the very least,
immaturity.
Yet God promises to rescue us from our enemies. David describes the Lord as a
"rock", a "shield", a "stronghold", and a "refuge". God provides a stable
foundation for our faith; he products us from the attacks of the enemy;
he offers a place of rest in battle.
Our battles are usually not physical ones, but rather spiritual
and emotional wars.
We struggle with difficult relationships, the burdens of the past,
the subtle accusations of the devil.
But these enemies can be overcome. David says,
"I call to the Lord, who is worthy of praise" .
When we turn to the Lord, trust his Word, acknowledge his
worthiness, we put our own problems and difficulties in perspective.
We see that God is able to rescue us, and has promised to do so.
And as we respond to his grace by focusing
on him, we abandon trust in ourselves and allow him to do what he promised.

Application

a) What kinds of enemies do I face?

b) How have I tried to deal with those enemies by myself?

c) How can today's verses help me turn to the sources of my rescue?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland

Proverbs 22:7

7 The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.

7 The rich ruleth over the poor, And the borrower is servant to the lender.

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

When you are Saddened by Loss

John 14:1 - 7

1 "Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God. Believe also in Me.
2 In My Father's house are many dwelling places.
If it were not so, I would have told you.
I am going to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again
and receive you to Myself,
that where I am, you may be also.
4 You know where I am going, and you know the way."
5 Thomas said to Him, "Lord, we do not know
where You are going. How can we know the way?"
6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth,
and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
7 If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also.
From now on you do know Him and have seen Him."

1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so,
I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again,
and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest;
and how can we know the way?
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also:
and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

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
in these growing Muslim population centres.


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, ...) .
