Numbers 33:40-35:34, Luke 5:12-28, Psalm 65:1-13, Proverbs 11:23
Today is the 22nd day of March, welcome to the Daily Audio Bible. I’m Brian, it’s great to be here with you today. Like it always is as a come around the Global Campfire and take the next step forward together through the Scriptures. And we are rounding the corner on the Book of Numbers, we’ll be concluding Numbers tomorrow, but today we have a little ground to cover so that that can happen. Numbers chapter 33 verse 40 through 35 verse 34 today.
Prayer:
Father, we thank You for Your word and we have reached our last full day in the Book of Numbers and we’ll finish Numbers and transition tomorrow and so there’s plenty to talk about then but we see regulations, statutes being implemented, being given to this next generation, the one that had to grow up in the wilderness, wandering for 40 years, things that they’re going to need to know and establish in the Promised Land when they have the cities, things that pull the people forward into a more cohesive civilized people under You, under God.
And then once again, we flip over into the Gospel of Luke and we see a chasm between the religious leaders trying to steward these rules and statutes. And Jesus, which lets us know that things got sideways and upside down somewhere and that somewhere was not You. And so, once again we can see that, left to our own devices trying to be in control and power, we end up corrupting ourselves, operating in contrary ways to You while thinking we’re doing You a favor, which yet again, like most every day, gives us pause and an opportunity to simply reflect. Is what we say and do represent You and Your will and Your ways? Or does it represent what we think You want or what we’ve been told here after because it’s pretty clear in the Scriptures that what You want is our hearts, You want us, You want us to give ourselves to You unreservedly, naked and unashamed, after the same fashion that You have given Yourself to us. You aren’t demanding our loyalty or demanding our love, You have loved us first, and Your love compels us and sometimes it compels us to self-reflection. So, come Holy Spirit, we pray, in the name of Jesus, we ask. Amen.

Prayer and Encouragements:
Hello, this is Angel Heart. I just have a prayer request. I was in the hospital last night having problems with my voices and I met this gentleman his name was Michael. He had been in the military and he was having problems. I overheard his conversation with his mom and I guess he had jumped out of the car while it was moving and he went down a cliff. And he’s okay but after he got off the phone, I waited a little bit and then I said Michael, and Michael drew the curtains and he said yes ma’am, and I said maybe you should give Jesus a chance and he said, yeah but I’m a heathen though. And I said, God even gives heathens a chance. And then we stopped and he started pacing the floor and he talked to me for a little bit and then he started pacing the floor again and when he got to my bed he went back to the desk and he asked the people for a bible and they didn’t have one. So, I told him he could have my bible and he took my bible and started reading it and he got through a lot of the, I told him to start, well, I didn’t know where to tell him to start but he started in Proverbs. I don’t know if that was the right chapter to say or not but I did tell him to start in Proverbs. I would just like you guys to pray for him if you could. And hope that he can give God a chance. Thank you.
My name is Santiago calling, I consider myself a Beloved Child of God. Calling from Maryland and I just heard a prayer request by sister Grace about her bullies. It broke my heart sister and I want to pray. Heavenly Father, please help this poor woman and the desperation, the pain in her heart was so evident Father God. And I believe that You have a purpose in this confrontation that she’s experiencing, this suffering Father God, that she’s expressing. Father God, please give this woman the strength, be beside her, accompany her, Father God. Strengthen her, give her that peace that’s beyond understanding, give her that strength that will help her maintain the course. And Father God, should she lose her employment, I pray that there would be something else available for her. Father God, please help this woman. Now, help her and help her in the future and give her the strength to proceed with whatever plans You have for her, Father God. I know that You love her, we feel Your love for her through us, Father God as we feel compassion for her, Father God, and trust that You will provide. And we pray Father God, that You will be with her. In Your Sons precious name, Jesus Christ. Please mighty Father, please Lord Jesus, help this poor woman. Amen.
Hi everyone, this is Karen in St. Louis. Diane Olive Brown, you are such a sweet woman. I love you so much and so grateful for your comment and your prayers for me. I just cried when I heard your message. So grateful that you have a loving husband that’s like Jesus with skin on and that you’ll be celebrating 50 years of marriage. What an incredible testimony to God’s faithfulness, thank you so much for praying for me. And Grace, I heard your prayer hon. I, just my heart goes out to you. I’ve been there. I, about 30 years ago was persecuted relentlessly. When I was a newer believer and eventually lost that job, they let me go and I met with my pastor, it was just so hard. I met with him several times throughout the, I don’t know how many years I worked there but I know what it’s like to be in that fire and I am just wanted to pray for you. Father God, I just pray that You would strengthen Grace, that You would help her to put on her armor each day, Father, that she would keep that breastplate of righteousness on and the helmet of salvation, the sword of the Spirit Lord, put that shield of faith out in front of her and the sandals of peace and the belt of truth that holds everything altogether, Lord, as she goes into the battle each day. I pray Father God, that You would open the door to another opportunity for a place for her to work Lord, that You would, in the meantime, give her, just help her to be basically walking in Your spirit and I pray that You would encourage her heart. Give her strength and help her to know that she is loved so much more by You. That she is the daughter of the King and Jesus
Hi Daily Audio Bible family, my names Michael and I would like it if y'all could please pray for my autistic brother named Elijah. My brother has been going through a lot of stress recently and I found out from my cousin today that he has been cussing in school, that he’s been, he’s been shouting in class and scaring away all the other special needs children that are in the classes with him. That he’s been quoting a bunch of like emotional, like a bunch of scenes from movies that cause emotional like uproar. Like, he would quote like, I am bolted to the wall from Beauty and the Beast. I think Beauty and the Beast II, it was but yeah, he’s been quoting a bunch of those sort of quotes. He loves the emotional stark that he gets from movies like that but we’re trying to help teach him right to not cuss. And so, if you could all please pray for my brother. I would really appreciate it. And if you could also please pray for my family so, me, my cousin, niece and my brother. We’re all the ones that are living together and so we’ve kind of been going through a lot of stress recently because my cousins being overwhelmed with so much work to help keep a roof over our heads since my mom had passed away and my dad is in Kansas. Please pray for us.
Hi everyone, this is Rob from Alabama. This message is for Halo from Colorado. Just wanted to say I heard your request for prayer the other day when one of your friends was not being a good influence on you and I just want to say how proud of you I am, for having the wisdom at such a young age and the courage to stand up to someone who’s not really looking out for your best interest. I’ve had many friends that were not doing things they should’ve been doing and I didn’t just write them off, I tried to stay friends with them. But I did not let them influence my life. I tried to stay on the narrow path as God has instructed and it was very hard but years later at a high school reunion, some people came up to me and one of them actually came to our reunion just because of me and it really shocked me because he said you were my friend and he was doing things that negatively influenced my life but I tried to just be there, I didn’t hang out with him that much but I tried to at least, you know, not just totally isolate myself from him but it really was shocking that he said I was a positive influence on his life that maybe what Emma is is a little upset because you may be one of the positive influences in her life and she may not want to let you go. So maybe you can reconcile one day but you surely want to just stand up for what’s right and I am again so proud of you and will be praying for you. Stay strong, little one. Everything is going to be okay. Don’t let the devil make you feel bad for doing what is right.
Be done, Be done, Let Your will Oh Lord, be done.
Be done, Be done, Let Your will Oh Lord, be done.
Let it be on earth as it is in Heaven.
Let Your will Oh Lord, be done.
Let it be on earth as it is in Heaven.
Let Your will Oh Lord, be done.
