      [continued from previous message]              27 Who among you by taking thought can add a cubit       (A cubit is about half a meter.) to his stature?       28 (Mt 6:25; 6:31) "Why take thought about clothing?       Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow:       They neither work, nor do they spin.       29 (1Ki 10:4-7; 2Ch 9:4-6) Yet I say to you that even Solomon       in all his glory was not dressed like one of these.       30 (Mt 8:26; 14:31) Therefore, if God so clothes the grass of the field,       which today is here and tomorrow is thrown into the oven,       will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?       31 (1Pe 5:7) Therefore, take no thought, saying, 'What shall we eat?'       or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'       32 (Mt 6:8; Lk 12:30) (For the Gentiles seek after all these things.)       For your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things.       33 (1Ti 4:8; 1Ki 3:11-13) But seek first the kingdom of God       and His righteousness, and all these things shall be given to you.       34 (Mt 6:25) Therefore, take no thought about tomorrow,       for tomorrow will take thought about the things of itself.       Sufficient to the day is the trouble thereof.              True Wisdom              24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one,       and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other.       Ye cannot serve God and mammon.       25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat,       or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not       the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?       26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor       gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much       better than they?       27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?       28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field,       how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:       29 and yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed       like one of these.       30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is,       and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you,       O ye of little faith?       31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat?       or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?       32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek       for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.       33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God,       and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.       34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow:       for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.       Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.              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.'                     [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
