   Rom 8:1-2   
      
   Life in the Spirit   
      
   1 (1Co 1:30; 2Co 5:17) There is therefore now no condemnation   
   for those who are in Christ Jesus,   
   who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.   
   2 (1Co 15:45; Ro 6:18; Jn 8:32) For the law of the Spirit of life   
   in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death.   
      
   The Spirit of God Within You   
   1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus,   
   who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.   
   2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free   
   from the law of sin and death.   
      
   In the classic movie, I want to live! actress Susan Hayward   
   plays a woman convicted of murder and sentenced to be executed.   
   The suspense builds; the execution is delayed as the officials   
   wait for a word of pardon. Finally, the woman in executed;   
   the call comes, and the pardon has been granted, but it is too late.   
   When no pardon is granted, condemnation leads to death. Our sin   
   marks us as "guilty" before God, and we deserve the wages of sin,   
   which is death. But in Jesus Christ, the pardon does come - and   
   it comes in time. Our sin deserves condemnation by God, and yet   
   he forgives us because Christ paid the penalty for us,   
   But we face other kinds of condemnation as well - self-condemnation,   
   that internal accusation that we still, somehow, must pay the price   
   of our own sin. Others often condemn us as well, offering much less   
   forgiveness and mercy than God does. And the Enemy of our souls condemns   
   us, trying to convince us that we don't, after all, have real freedom   
   from sin.   
   Yet Paul tells us in Romans 8, "There is therefore now no condemnation   
   for those who are in Christ Jesus". God has forgiven us freely; he has   
   granted his pardon. And in light of his forgiveness, how can we live   
   under the condemnation of others - or even of ourselves?   
   We are free, Paul says - free from the "law of sin and death,"   
   free to live in the liberty of the Spirit. The stay of execution   
   has come: the pardon has been granted. Never again can we tried   
   for the same crimes: never again must we live under the burden   
   of condemnation.   
      
   Application   
      
   a) Have I ever lived under the burden of condemnation from myself   
   or others? Why?   
      
   b) How can Romans 8:1-2 help me live in freedom of such condemnation?   
      
      
   c) What kind of attitude do I need to be a "minister of reconciliation"?   
      
   4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland   
      
   Hebr 11:6   
      
   6 (1Ch 28:9; Jer 29:13-14) And without faith it is impossible to please God,   
   for he who comes to God must believe that He exists   
   and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.   
      
   6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh   
   to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them   
   that diligently seek him.   
      
   5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:   
      
   When you are Burdened by Doubt   
      
   Matt 7:7-11   
      
   Ask, Seek, Knock   
      
   Lk 11:9-13   
      
   7(Mt 21:22; Mk 11:24) "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find;   
   knock and it will be opened to you.   
   8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds,   
   and to him who knocks, it will be opened.   
   9 "What man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread,   
   will give him a stone?   
   10 Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a snake?   
   11 (Ge 6:5; 8:21) If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts   
   to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give   
   good things to those who ask Him!   
      
   7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock,   
   and it shall be opened unto you:   
   8 for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth;   
   and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.   
   9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread,   
   will he give him a stone?   
   10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?   
   11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children,   
   how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things   
   to them that ask 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 2022 edition?)   
      
   Nova Scotia   
      
   Total population 942700   
   Muslim population (est.) 14629   
      
   With 6 of the Nova Scotia's 10 universities located in Halifax, there is   
   a high concentration of Muslin international students in the area,   
   a harvest field in itself.   
   Pray for Nova Scotia and her Muslim populations   
      
   - in and around Halifax and other cities   
      
   - on university campuses   
      
   - for new workers among Muslims   
      
   - for pastors and churches to be bold in vision, passion and outreach   
   to Muslims in their areas.   
      
   - for Muslims who are searching for a better way to find a Christian friend   
   to share Jesus with and disciple them   
      
   - for Muslim-background believers to be both wise and bold in sharing their   
   new faith in Jesus with other Muslims   
      
   Halifax is the centre of Muslim activity for the Province of Nova Scotia   
   with at least 10 Islamic centres (mosques) and musallas   
   (prayer locations, especially for Friday prayer). And there are other mosques   
   in Chebucto, Kearney Lake, Dartmouth, Bedford and Truro.   
      
   Though the original community of Muslims was primarily composed of   
   newcomers from Turkey, Pakistan, Bangladesh and India, continued immigration   
   has further diversified this community. Anf it is said thay Arabic   
   is the second most spoken language in Halifax.   
      
   while conservative estimates place the number of Muslims at almost 15000   
   in 2014, the Imama of a primary Halifax mosque estimates their population   
   somewhere between 25000 to 30000.   
      
   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:
