Ezekiel 33:1-34:31, Hebrews 13:1-25, Psalms 115:1-18, Proverbs 27:21-22
Today is the 16th day of November. Welcome to the Daily Audio Bible. I am Brian. It is a pleasure and an honor to be here with you today. And locked and loaded here. I’ve got some steamy windfarm coffee to my left and, of course, some screens in front of me and a microphone in my face. So, I guess this is what it’s like from the cockpit. And off we can go into our reading for today, which will be our next step forward. And we’ll be concluding the book of Hebrews today when we get to the New Testament reading. But first, we’re reading from the Voice translation this week, Ezekiel chapter 33 verse 1 through 34 verse 31.
Prayer:
Father, we thank You for Your beautiful word, this holy gift that we partake of every day. And we are grateful for the rhythm and for the gift because it transforms us from within. It is continually challenging the postures and intents of our hearts. And it goes deep, and we thank You for giving us the truth that can go so deep into our lives. And as we conclude the book of Hebrews today, we thank You for such a vision of the gospel that we have and for the opportunity to look at it through Your Hebrew eyes. And we ask, Holy Spirit, that You would plant the word of God deep into our hearts so that it may affect our hearts, our mind, our will, the shape of our entire lives. Come Holy Spirit we pray. In Jesus’ mighty name we ask. Amen.

Community Prayer and Praise:
Hello Daily Audio Bible community, my name is Scott, I’m a nurse in Michigan. It’s been a few years since I’ve called then. I have a burden, heaviness on my heart that I need to share that I’ve been prompted to share by the Holy Spirit. I’m a nurse here, I work in an ICU and the ICU is also a trauma unit and I’ve just seen some pretty bad things happening lately and I think the cumulative effect has had a real impact on me, maybe even more than I’ve realized where I had a just a little mini meltdown last week. I feel like I’m better with prayer and talking with God but I just wanted to share that with the community and have you, not only pray for me but, when you pray for loved ones her family and friends that are dealing with serious illnesses or cancers or something like that, if you can pray for the nurses, the doctors, anybody else in the medical field there because it does take a toll on us too. We are human, and we want people to get better and it’s tough, especially where I’m at where you see a lot of people and no matter what you do, besides a miracle from God there’s not going to be a good outcome. So, again, if you could pray for me and again those in medical field, thank you.
Hey DAB brothers and sisters this is Abiding in Him. I want to pray for Brave in New Jersey. Lord, we lift up brave to You. She’s a first-time caller, calling with an urgent need for her daughter. She’s willing to save that she can go to college and she’s taken all of her retirement and placed it into this home, heavenly Father, an extra home to provide income so this girl can go through school. And Lord she’s overcome to fears and brought this before the community Lord and presented to us Lord and we take up the burden and we lift up her arms before You heavenly Father and we just ask for Your blessing to be on this situation Lord, for this mother who loves her daughter so much that she would sacrifice her on needs to her go forward, planting that seed of faith into the future Lord. Honor that. Remove the barriers from constructing this house Lord. Start moving in the heart of the person that You want to take up residence there, heavenly Father Lord. Open up the doors for that income to flow Lord, for that so needs can be provided Lord and open up all other assets and opportunities heavenly Father that she has even thought about Lord, enabling her daughter to be able to the school, to be able to get the education heavenly Father. We just pray Lord that You show up for Your children and You take care of Your family Lord. For You are our provision, our source and our provider Lord and we give You glory. We thank You Lord that You’ve never let us down and that You’ve taken care of us every single day Lord. We realize that You bless us each day. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
Hello Daily Audio Bible family this is Jay from Nashville. So, day three here of this 30-day challenge. I guess I wouldn’t really call it a challenge, I’m just calling in to talk to guys and love on you. I want to pray for the DAB today because it’s such an amazing platform for us to communicate and to pray and to seek prayer for each other. So, join me in this prayer. Most gracious God, heavenly Father, wonderful Holy Spirit, and Christ our Lord, we come to You this morning lifting up the Daily Audio Bible, the Daily Audio Bible team, the Daily Audio Bible infrastructure, the Daily Audio Bible family. Lord, this has been a life-changing way to interact to with Your word, to come closer to You in Scripture, to meet new people around the world who love You, and it’s also been a doorway, an opportunity for those who don’t know You to learn about You. Father, I pray that You will continue to bless the Daily Audio Bible its finances, its infrastructure, Brian and Jill and the entire Daily Audio Bible team. Without them I would not have had the relationship with You that I have today. So, in that Father we pray for everything that is needed by this group to continue to spread the word of God. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
Hi DAB family this is Dash from Indiana. I wanted to reach out to Karen from St. Louis. I just…I heard your…I heard you on the Daily Audio Bible a couple days ago in it was just…it was heartbreaking and I was just really…I’ve been praying for you and I really…really am praying that your 60th birthday is gonna just surprise you and it’s just going to be one of the happiest and most memorable birthdays you’ve had. You know, I love you, God loves you and just hang in there, sister. We don’t know what God has in store for us. I’d also like to put in a prayer request for my brother in Christ out here in Indiana, Cliff. He’s an older fella and he fell off his son’s porch onto some flag stones and broke his hip and he’s just been…it’s been pretty miserable for him. And, you know, he’s been kind of a mentor to me. So, I just pray that…I just ask that you guys will pray that he can get through this pain and recover quickly. And I just thank you guys so much for being here and for hearing our prayers, and for passing them along to God. God bless you all. Thank you, Brian and family for all that you do. Love you guys. Bye.
