Isaiah 30:12-33:9, Galatians 5:1-12, Psalms 63:1-11, Proverbs 23:22
Today is the 19th day of September welcome to the Daily Audio Bible I am Brian it is wonderful to be here with you every day, but on these days when we’re starting a brand-new week together we can think about all that hasn’t happened yet, and it's…I mean you can do this every day, every month, but it’s a fresh start and we get to choose what this week is going to look like. And let’s choose wisely by continuing our journey together around the Global Campfire and taking the next step forward together. That leads us back to the book of Isaiah. Today Isaiah chapter 30 verse 12 through 33 verse 9. And we will read from the EHV, the Evangelical Heritage Version this week.
Prayer:
Thank You, Father for Your word. Thank You for bringing us this far. Eight and half months now. And every day You have been faithful, every day You been patient and kind, every day You have walked with us through all of the things that we get ourselves into and all of the things that come our way, that were unexpected. You are always present, and we are grateful. And, so, come Holy Spirit as we begin this brand-new shiny sparkly week. Lead us into all truth. Lead us on the narrow path that leads to life. Be a lamp to our feet and a light to our path, we ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Community Prayer and Praise:
Hey, DABbers this is Micah in Awe Kansas City. Today I was watching this show about mothers in jail and it really had made claustrophobic feeling for them and just felt this pressure and pain they had of not being able to do anything in there and it got me thinking about believers that could be locked up unright…unjustly and just everybody in jail but especially our brothers and sisters in jail, how much of a mental struggle that would be. And I remembered there was a scripture that said we should be praying for our brothers and sisters in jail. I found it. I want to read it real quick. It’s Hebrews 13:1-3. Well…this isn’t the exact __ spot but anyway. Keep on loving one another as brother and sister. Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers for by doing…so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it. Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison period and those who are mistreated as if those of you yourselves were suffering. So, today I just want to ask all of you to join me in a movement to pray for our brothers and sisters in jail and even for unbelievers in jail, that God would draw them to himself. And I believe with many prayers going up God can…God will move some things around and maybe we can get some of these people set free. Let’s pray particularly for that. Lord we ask this morning or whatever time it is for all these people, we ask that you see these people’s cause and see their plight, see what they’ve done. And we ask for mercy Lord. If they’re innocent or if they’re not deserving to be in jail for this longer a period, we ask for you to set them free spiritually, supernaturally, send a way that they can be set free and encourage them over their Lord. In Jesus name we pray…
Hello, my beautiful family this is Suzanne calling from Albuquerque. I am calling because I heard Victor from Nigeria call and for whatever reason your plea to be able to come back to the Lord really touched me. You have found the right place. We are home and I just wanted to encourage you to keep listening. This has been one of the most beautiful things that’s happened. I mean it’s really transformed my life listening to Daily Audio Bible. I had been around for well over 10 years. I lost count after seven years. And I just…it has helped me become so grounded and helped my…my confused mind just to have a much clearer direction. And just to be able to listen to this when I get up in the morning and I’m getting ready for the day and sometimes I’ll go back and listen to the certain things later. Sometimes I miss it but then I just try to listen to two the next day or…but I just…it’s been such a blessing. And, so, you have found home and we are opening our arms for you. Just know that we are supporting you and listening and loving you. And I know that Jesus is so…there was no accident you found us. So, welcome home brother, Victor in Nigeria.
This is __ from __ again. I just wanted to call in with a praise report. My wife contracted COVID. I’ve been through a lot of health issues. I have COPD bad. I’m on the highest dose of Trelegy before oxygen. And ss soon as she contracted COVID, found out she was positive she got her brother, and she was crying. Shes’…tell her brother we’ve been married 32 years and that she was gonna lose me, and the whole family thought that they were going to lose me. And everybody prayed about it, and I ended up not having it as bad as she did. I just think that the Lord works in mysterious ways and I think He’s got something for me planned. I don’t know what it is yet but whatever it is I’m more than willing to do it. And then her, my wife’s father has COPD really bad too and we really prayed for him. He…he went into the hospital but now he’s out of the hospital and he’s doing well. I just…I just think that’s great and that’s just a…the way the world works because. He takes good such good care of us. I just wanted to share that this morning. And I wanted to everyone to know I’m praying for ‘em and I love my DAB family.
Good morning, everyone actually afternoon, or it could be evening where you are at. This is Christy from Kentucky. I wanted to call and share something that happened today that was so beautiful. ASnd I’m like Lord I just want to share this with people who will understand, and I know that my family will understand. I’ve been having a rough couple days. I guess I’ve got just kind of the Blues a little bit from wondering, is this ever going to end? I’m one of those older individuals that have chosen to isolate and really just try to spend time with the Lord and use this time like turning lemons into lemonade. And but the last couple of days I’ve kind of been weary. Well, this morning when I got up I went in to make myself a cup of coffee and all the sudden the most beautiful fragrance filled the kitchen and I looked around to see if maybe my husband had, you know, lit a candle or just trying to figure out where this beautiful fragrance was coming from and there was no answer. And then I knew. I knew what was going on. I had the most beautiful moment and it had something playing on my phone and I turned that off and I asked my little Google home hub just to play some worship music. All the sudden this music came on. It was called “back to the altar” __ worship __ and I had the most beautiful moment in the presence of God. And that fragrance, that fragrance, so beautiful. And I just wanted to call and thank the Lord for that moment. I needed to be refreshed. He’s so faithful.
Good evening family this is Penelope on Louisville KY and I’m calling this evening to ask for prayer for a dear friend’s son. He was shot on Labor Day weekend during a road rage incident, and he is in critical condition in the ICU, and he is an induced coma as they try and allow the swelling in his brain to go down. He was shot through the eye and the bullet passed through his eye and out the back of his brain. And they of course don’t know the extent of damage. His skull will need to be reconstructed but he’s definitely lost that eye. And it’s one of those situations where you are really not sure what to pray. And, so, I’m asking for prayer for miraculous healing and for restoration and for redemption and for the…for his whole family, for my friend who is his stepdad but who has raised him since he was a toddler, for his mother, for his younger brother, and for his grandparents, just for the whole family. They are just all devastated as you can imagine. And…but especially for Rob. He was raised in church as a young child, but I don’t know what his relationship with the Lord has been like over the last decade or so. I don't…I don’t know. But my prayer is that if he has not accepted Christ as a savior that that will happen. Thank you, family.
