2 Kings 20:1-22:2, Acts 21:18-36, Psalm 150:1-6, Proverbs 18:9-10
Today is the 2nd day of July, welcome to the Daily Audio Bible. I am Brian and it is wonderful to be here with you. Now we’ve crossed the threshold into a new month. And here we are crossing the threshold into a brand-new week. So, welcome to all things new here. Our first full week of this 7th month of the year and we will do what we always do, gather together around the Global Campfire, find a place, get comfy, release the cares of this life, allow them to go away for this moment in time, where we allow God to speak directly to us through His word. So, let’s launch into our new week by doing what we also do, picking up where we left off, and that happens to be the book of Second Kings. And today we will read chapter 20 verse 1 through 22 verse 2, and we will read from the Evangelical Heritage Version the EHV this week.
Prayer:
Father, we thank You for Your word and we thank You that Your name is a strong tower and we run to it and are protected. We thank You for that as we get ourselves moved into this new month and begin launching this brand-new week out in front of us. Those are words that we will take with us. Your name is a strong tower, the righteous person runs inside and is protected. Holy Spirit come as we continue this journey forward into month number seven, day-by-day, step-by-step, we invite Your Holy Spirit, here in the second half of the year, that You would lead us into all truth, that You would show us the narrow path that leads to life, that You would lead us on the pathways of peace and that the fruit of Your spirit might be bountiful in our hearts, spilling out into the world. As we get the grand adventure of collaborating with You and revealing You to the world. Come, Holy Spirit, we pray, in the name of Jesus, we ask. Amen.
Prayer and Encouragements:
What’s up, DAB family, this is TAC from Atlanta, son of Pray Without Ceasing. And you know, I heard some interesting calls today on June 27th podcast. But that kind of led me to tell a story. The second time that I met my father-in-law, he, I’m in the car with him alone and he slams on the breaks. And I’m like, on my phone as I look up. And I look in the rearview, you know the passenger rearview mirror to see what happened behind us and I saw nothing. So, now I turn to the left and I see my father-in-law, he was not my father-in-law at the time, but father-in-law staring at me. Right, and then he proceeds to cuss me out. This is the second time I met him. I’m on a family vacation with him and his family. He’s going in. This was the first incident of many for six years and counting of disrespectful interactions between me and my father-in-law. But I heard, I heard, I believe her name was Without a Dove [Eyes of a Dove], and I know her name, I hear her all the time, so forgive me for, forgive me for forgetting right now. But you know, she said you know, she was just livid and you would have never thought it was her, how upset she was at her son. That’s how you would have thought of me, if you would have saw how I interacted the last time I interacted with my father-in-law. But, but as far as me and my spirit, I’m cool, I’m okay. But I wanted to call because I wanted to pray for him. You know, you know, sometimes when stuff happens, and when people lash out at you constantly and pick at you constantly, yeah, it could be of the enemy but at the same time it could not be about you. And it could be a bigger picture. And I would just ask you guys for your prayers and encouragement for my father-in-law to get better.
Hello, my DAB family, this is Mark Street from Sydney, Australia. Today, is Tuesday, the 27th of June. And I am just calling in to ask for prayer for me. I’m about to put my resignation in for my job that I’ve been there for 10 years. I have had prophetic word, saying God will look after me. What I’m doing is probably not, may not make any human sense to me to do but I’m gonna be starting my own business and I think that is what God is calling me to do. But I also know that it may be my own human thinking. So, I’m asking you to pray for me to God that if that’s not His will for me that He will reveal to me what He wants me to do. And that I will be sensitive to His calling and change directions without feeling anxiety and there is definitely fear there. So, please pray for the fear I have of what I’m doing. But I feel, definitely compelled to leave cause of issues as well. I love you all family. Mark Street from Sydney, Australia. Bye.
Hello Daily Audio Bible Family, it’s Jay from Clarkesville, Tennessee. Just calling in for prayer today. You know, the Lord’s been good, he’s really blessed me. He’s given me my degree, He’s given me my job, He’s given me my home. These are all things that I prayed for. And now, I’m faced with having all of these things and being single. And it’s been a challenge because you know, years and years ago, there was no such thing as dating apps. So, you, you, you had to physically talk to somebody, get to know them, meet them in person. You know, today it’s, you know, it’s all digital, so you’re spending all of your time on these apps with people who present themselves in a way that’s not necessarily what they are. So, I’m praying for myself and I’m praying for any brother or sister out there that is single and that has dedicated themselves to the Lord, mind, body and spirit. And I just wanna, I want to thank the Lord for the time that He is blessed me through the power of the Holy Spirit to truly find with Him, with my body, because that has been the struggle of my life. And so, for me to stand here today and not be giving myself to other people physically, it’s a miracle. So, I thank the Lord for that. And so, let’s pray. Father, in the precious name of Jesus Christ, we are so grateful for Your strength and Your will and the power that comes in the name of Jesus Christ. So, we call upon You know oh God, to hear our hearts, hear our desires for a good wife, a good husband, a God-fearing wife, a God-fearing husband. Lord, and just continue to strengthen us to resist temptation during this time as we are prepared for our future spouse. We pray this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
This is Candace from Oregon. This call is about my grandson, my daughter’s teenage son. He started having a lot of problems and he’s only had mild problems, ADHD and such. But a month ago, it got, it started getting really strange, intermittently. By the time we got, as I speak to you, it’s Tuesday, 10pm. By the time it got to last Saturday, I, she needed help. I came over to stay overnight with them. He, he’s just not making any sense at all. Long story short, we tried to get him into a hospital, actually earlier on Saturday. I must have come over there early Saturday. And anyway, it was an arduous thing. Because he turned 18 Sunday night, I think was part of the problem. One hospital couldn’t keep him because he wasn’t 18 yet and the next hospital that they referred us to wouldn’t keep him for no discernable reason. He got worse. Then we realized we would have to get help that we couldn’t safely transport him ourselves because he was getting worse. He got to where he didn’t recognize his mom anymore, did not know who she was. Please pray. Please pray. He’s in the hospital, he’s not getting better yet. Thank you.
