      [continued from previous message]              8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) Make me to hear joy and gladness,       that the bones that You have broken may rejoice.       9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) Hide Your face from my sins,       and blot out all my iniquities.       10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) Create in me a clean heart, O God,       and renew a right spirit within me.       11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) Do not cast me away from Your presence,       and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.       12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation,       and uphold me with Your willing spirit.       13 Then I will teach transgressors Your ways,       and sinners will return to You.              To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet       came unto him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba.              1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness:       According unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.       2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity,       And cleanse me from my sin.       3 For I acknowledge my transgressions:       And my sin is ever before me.       4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight:       That thou mightest be justified when thou speakest,       and be clear when thou judgest.       5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity;       And in sin did my mother conceive me.       6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts:       And in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.       7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean:       Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.       8 Make me to hear joy and gladness;       That the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.       9 Hide thy face from my sins,       And blot out all mine iniquities.       10 Create in me a clean heart, O God;       And renew a right spirit within me.       11 Cast me not away from thy presence;       And take not thy holy spirit from me.       12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation;       And uphold me with thy free spirit.       13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways;       And sinners shall be converted unto thee.              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?)              Prince Edward Island              Total population 146300       Muslim population (est.) 1127              Charlottetown does not currently (fall 2014) have a local CNMM network.       Pray with us for God's people to come together in reaching Muslims       cooperatively across denominational and organisational lines.              More than 200 attended the Eid festival at the end of Ramadan, the Islamic       month of fasting during daylight hours and the reading of the Qur'an, at       the Dar as-Salam mosque in 2014. This second mosque established       in Charlottetown, the other being the Muslims Association of PEI.       As of mid-2014,there are between 250 to 300 families, mostly in Charlottetown.              The Muslims of Charlottetown see their community as symbolically important       for this nation since this is known as the "birthplace of Canada". Yet we were       established as the "Dominion of Canada" with an appeal not only to       monarchial authority, but even more to God's higher Biblical authority as       shown in Psalm 72:8, "May he have dominion from sea to sea,       and from the River to the ends of the earth."       Let us intercede together for:              - the growing Muslim population of Charlottetown and spreading       outward through PEI to encounter the Prince of Peace.       - believers to have faith and vision to reach out to the Muslim Community       in contextual ways to share the Gospel       - churches and ministries to rise up in wisdom, knowledge and understanding,       giving and training, coaching and encouragement to believers reaching       out to Muslims locally.       - a prayer movement to be established, feeding a growing move of Yahweh's       Spirit in His churches and people , and an awakening an openness       and spiritual hunger in Muslims for relationship with the Father       through the Son.              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 12 They were all amazed and perplexed, saying to each other,       "What does this mean?"       13 (1Co 14:23) Others mocking said, "These men are full of new wine."              Peter's Speech at Pentecost              14 (Ac 1:26) But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice       and said to them, "Men of Judea and all you who dwell in Jerusalem,       let this be known to you, and listen to my words.       15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose,       since it is the third hour of the day.       16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:       17 (Isa 44:3; Ac 10:45) '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.'              - 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."              [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
