      [continued from previous message]              22 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested;       neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.       23 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.       24 And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete,       it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.       25 For he that hath, to him shall be given:       and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.              5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:              God's Help in Times of Temptation              Hebrews 4:14-16              Jesus the Great High Priest              14 (Heb 6:20; 1:2-3) Since then we have a great High Priest       Who has passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God,       let us hold firmly to our confession.       15 (2Co 5:21; Jn 8:46) For we do not have a High Priest       who cannot sympathise with our weaknesses,       but One who was in every sense tempted like we are, yet without sin.       16 (Eph 3:12; Php 4:6-7) Let us then come with confidence       to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy       and find grace to help in time of need.              14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest,       that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God,       let us hold fast our profession.       15 For we have not an high priest       which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities;       but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.       16 Let us therefore come boldly       unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy,       and find grace to help in time of need.              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."       - 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, atheists, secular humanists, ...)                     [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
