2 Kings 15:1-16:20, Acts 19:13-41, Psalms 147:1-20, Proverbs 18:4-5

Today is the 29th day of June. Welcome to the Daily Audio Bible. I’m Brian. It’s great to be here with you as we reach the conclusion of another one of our weeks together. And we only have one more day left. We’ll start our week in the month of June and end our week in the month of July coming up. So, we are here at the center of the year together. Well done. So, we’ve been reading from the Contemporary English Version this week and it’s still this week. So, we’ll continue to do that today. And we’re continuing working our way through the book of second Kings. Today, second Kings, chapters 15 and 16.

Prayer:

Father, we thank You for another week in Your word, we thank You for bringing us here to the center of the year. And as we move forward we’ll be moving out of this month and into the seventh month of the year. So, we look with anticipation for all that You will do but we also stand here quietly and reflect about all that You have already done, as You’ve brought us this far, day by day step-by-step. Your word has counseled and spoken to us and has shifted so many things from within. Come Holy Spirit and continue the work that You’ve begun in us. I pray these things in the name of Jesus, our beloved. Amen.

Daily Audio Bible long walk is coming up a week from tomorrow. The 7th of July is our Daily Audio Bible holiday as a community. It’s like our own thing and we’ve doing it for over a decade. It’s just a day set aside. This happens to be on a Sunday this year. So, it’s relatively easy to do. Set aside the whole day. Go out somewhere beautiful, whether you’re just walking down the street or whether you’re driving across town or across your state or wherever…wherever you find compelling and beautiful and spend the day with God just walking. Remember when you fall in love and you can just go for these walks for hours and it’s like five minutes has gone by and you’re just so into each other and what each other is saying? Yeah, that’s what we’re talking about. It’s the middle of the year. Have you ever spent a day like that with God where you are uninterrupted, and nothing was distracting you, when you got to say everything you needed to say, you could actually fully pour out your heart, and you gave space and time, your phone wasn’t blowing up, your inbox wasn’t blowing up, your obligations, you weren’t running behind all day or in life, it was a day that didn’t have time and you set aside the space for God to pour out his heart to you too? What a way to regroup and get ready for the second half of the year. So, Make plans for that. That’s coming up next Sunday and it’ll be…you know…you might be like, “what…where…how do I do this?” It’s an individual process. Like this is between you and God. So, go wherever you want to go and spend that day. What makes it a community experience is that you can just take pictures. Like, take a picture or shoot a little video with your phone or whatever, wherever you go, whatever you’re doing, and you can post that to our Facebook page. It’s facebook.com/dailyaudiobible. All the sudden, then we are each able to look into a glimpse of where you are and what the beauty of the world looks like in your part of the world. It’s a beautiful thing. It’s a wonderful tradition and it’s always rewarding because it is a reset as we move into the second half of the year. So, plan for that long. The long walk, a week from tomorrow, next Sunday the 7th of July.

Community Prayer and Praise:

Hi family, it’s Marylynn calling from New Brunswick and I have a couple of prayer requests. A little bit along the serious line but not for myself. Our church family here in Milton has been made aware of the fact that there seems to be some spiritual darkness, spiritual attacks, not happening now but possibly pending. We had community prayer this morning with our pastor who is wise beyond anything I have ever seen. His name is Pastor Joel and he commissioned everybody a community prayer this morning under the authority of Jesus Christ to have authority over these spirits. So, I’m asking this community, particularly the warriors that I hear regularly, asking you to lift up our church. We prayed around the perimeter of the building this morning, the whole property inside and out. We prayed in front of all the entrances and we just really…I just really feel is that this is a legitimate concern that has been brought before us and I would really covet the community joining us in this. Also, I have a new client. They are wonderful people. They are nonbelievers. They are educators and they are very much…kind of worshipers of knowledge and intellect but they’re wonderful people and they both suffer from some health issues, but when I am there one of the items in their house…they have a lot oh __  stuff in their house but on their wall in the dining room they have an encircled pentagram with a sculpture and it really bothers me. I don’t see any evidence that there is Satanic activity in his family, but I have been praying that that thing would fall off the wall and break. So, if you would join me in that as well I would appreciate that. Know that you are all loved, and your prayers are appreciated, and you are lifted up. Thank you so much family for listening to all of this…

Hi family this is His lLttle Cherry in Canada. I am so grateful for everyone who prayed for my daughter’s wedding, which was this past Saturday, June 22nd. I have been talking about this wedding for probably a year and gearing up for it and I had requested prayer specifically for the weather. My daughter Joy had her heart set on having an outdoor wedding. And, so, we chose the venue for that reason. There was rain in the forecast the whole week of her wedding. And, so, thank you for praying for whether specifically. The day before the wedding was torrential rain. The day after the wedding was rainy as well. But miraculously the day of the wedding was beautiful and apparently there was rain all around us that day, but we had lovely blue skies and Joy was able to have her wedding outside in the trees and it was…it was gorgeous, it was a beautiful wedding. I’ve posted a picture on the DAB friends page. There were so many miracles that happened the weekend of the wedding I’m so grateful that you prayed. I specifically was fairly well, and my health is a big issue, but I was feeling well the weekend of the wedding as if I was 20 years younger and able to run around and do all the organizing that I needed to do. And, so, thank you family. I am so grateful. I am absolutely grateful. I wish I had a better way to say it. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I love you guys. Bless you. Bye for now.
