   and allow him to work within us, he is able both to forgive us and to cleanse   
   us from unrighteousness.   
      
   Application   
      
   a) In what ways have I bartered with God and tried to "Clean up my act"   
   in order to deserve his forgiveness?   
      
   b) What is my part in confession? What is God's response?   
   Why it is important for me to recognize God's part in my   
   confession and forgiveness?   
      
   4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland   
      
   Joshua 1:5   
      
   5 (Dt 7:24; 31:6-8) No man will be able to stand against you all the days   
   of your life. As I was with Moses, I will be with you. I will not   
   abandon you. I will not leave you.   
      
   5 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy   
   life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee,   
   nor forsake thee.   
      
   5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:   
      
   God's Help in Times of Temptation   
      
   1 Cor 10:1-13   
      
   1 Corinthians 10   
      
   Warning Against Idolatry   
      
   1 (Ex 14:29; Ps 66:6) I would not want you to be unaware that   
   all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea,   
   2 and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea;   
   3 (Ex 16:35; Dt 8:3) all ate the same spiritual food;   
   4 (Ex 17:6; Nu 20:11) and all drank the same spiritual drink,   
   for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them,   
   and that Rock was Christ.   
   5 (Heb 3:17; Jude 1:5) But with many of them God was not well pleased,   
   and they were overthrown in the wilderness.   
   6 (Nu 11:4; 1Co 10:11) Now these things were our examples to the intent   
   that we should not lust after evil things as they lusted.   
   7 (Ex 32:19; 32:4) Neither be idolaters as were some of them.   
   As it is written,   
   "The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to revel." (Ex 32:6. )   
   8 (Nu 25:1-9; 1Co 6:18) Neither let us commit sexual immorality as some   
   of them committed, when 23000 fell in one day.   
   9 (Nu 21:5-6; Ex 17:2) Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them   
   also tempted and were destroyed by serpents.   
   10 (Ex 12:23; Nu 16:41) Neither murmur, as some of them also murmured   
   and were destroyed by the destroyer.   
   11 (Ro 13:11) Now all these things happened to them for examples.   
   They are written as an admonition to us,   
   upon whom the end of the ages has come.   
   12 (Ro 11:20) Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed,   
   lest he fall.   
   13 (1Co 1:9; 2Pe 2:9) No temptation has taken you except what is common   
   to man. God is faithful, and He will not permit you to be tempted above   
   what you can endure, but will with the temptation also make a way   
   to escape, that you may be able to bear it.   
      
   1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all   
   our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;   
   2 and were all baptised unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;   
   3 and did all eat the same spiritual meat;   
   4 and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that   
   spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.   
   5 But with many of them God was not well pleased:   
   for they were overthrown in the wilderness.   
   6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust   
   after evil things, as they also lusted.   
   7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written,   
   The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.   
   8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed,   
   and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.   
   9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted,   
   and were destroyed of serpents.   
   10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured,   
   and were destroyed of the destroyer.   
   11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples:   
   and they are written for our admonition,   
   upon whom the ends of the world are come.   
   12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.   
   13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man:   
   but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted   
   above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also   
   make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.   
      
   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 2023 edition?)   
      
   The Northern Territories of Canada   
      
   Yukon   
      
   Yukon Total population (2015) 36500 Muslim (est) 69   
      
   In Whitehorse the Muslim population grew from 2 families   
   in 2001 to more than 60 people in 2014. Originally meeting in a church,   
   they now meet for prayer service in a former office space.   
      
   Pray for Muslims and believers in Whitehorse to come together,   
   and for Muslims to find faith in Jesus Christ.   
      
   Northwest Territories (NWT)   
      
   NWT population (2015) 43600 Muslim (est) 473   
      
   The Muslim community of Yellowknife has grown from 275 to 330 un the past year.   
   To replace their inadequate facility, they are planning a C$2 to C$2.5 million   
   Islamic Centre.   
      
   Pray that the Muslims in Yellowknife and all of the NWT will awaken to   
   spiritual hunger and be open to saving faith in Jesus Christ.   
      
   Nunavut (NU)   
      
   NU total population (2015) 36600 Muslim (est) 86   
      
   The Islamic Centre of Iqaluit now claim about 100 Muslims and have surpassed   
   80 % of their funding goal to building the first mosque in this territory.   
   Their stated goal is "To spread the message of Islam   
   in the far northern reaches of Canada."   
      
   Pray that believers in Iqaluit take up Jesus' command to love and reach   
   their Muslim neighbours with the Gospel.   
      
   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
