2 Chronicles 24:1-25:28, Romans 12:1-21 , Psalms 22:19-31, Proverbs 20:8-10
Today is the 29th day of July. Welcome to the Daily Audio Bible. I’m Brian. It is a pleasure, it is a joy to be here with you as we turn the knob and step through the threshold into this brand-new week. And, of course, with the new week we have a tradition that’s as long-running as the Daily Audio Bible, we’ll read from a new translation. This week we’ll be reading from the New English Translation, the NET Bible. And, of course, we’ll pick up where we left off, 2 Chronicles chapter 24 verse 1 to 25 verse 28 today.
Prayer:
Father, we thank You for Your word and we thank You for Your faithfulness to us in Your kindness and patience with us. Father, before this week is out we will have changed into a new month and these lines of demarcation show us that we’re moving forward and we want every step we take in the Scriptures,
in our lives, in our relationships, in our workplaces, in our communities to be moving forward with You. May we be a catalyst for this a living sacrifice, which is our reasonable service as the apostle Paul spoke today in the book of Romans. Come, Holy Spirit we pray. In Jesus’ name we ask. Amen.

Community Prayer and Praise:
Good morning. This is Cheryl from Arkansas and today is July the 25th. And happy birthday to Ezekiel. I’m calling because I just heard Brian’s retelling of Ezekiel’s story. And I just can’t believe it’s been six years already. But I just wanted to thank you Brian for that because it took me all the way back __ . And I listened to the whole story __ and I just can’t believe that that little fellows six years already.. Thank you again for telling us that story and he is such a blessing. He’s been such a blessing to all of us. Have a good day. And I ask you to pray for me and my strength as I go for my treatments. And I love all of you guys. Have a good day everyone. And again, this is Cheryl from Arkansas. Bye-bye.
Hi guys. This is Cindy in Birmingham. I’m very nervous. I love you guys and I’ve listened every day for years. I just really need prayer right now. My daughter, my only child, has been addicted to drugs were about 15 years and she has just gone to prison two weeks ago. She’s terrified as well as we are. And we just really need prayers for peace and that God will surround her with peace and a hedge of protection. This disease is just destructive. But I’m hoping that she can use this time to really get involved in things and continue with her sobriety that she’s been sober now offer not for a while. She had __ court date to get sober. So, anyway her name is Arin and any prayers you all could give would be wonderful. We’ve been doing this with her for 15 years and is just horrible. So, please ask God whose got his arms around her. Bring all of us peace Father. I thank you all and I’m praying for all of you all and what you all need. I love you all and thank you.
Hi family. This is Melody Faith from Canada. I mentioned last time that I called that I would call back again when I figured out how to word this request. Our son Jared was in a terrible accident six years ago that left him scarred with PTSD, guilt, and pain. And at a time when we prayed that he would come back to God he dove headlong into a life of drugs. Six months after that he was in another freak accident that resulted in a traumatic brain injury. He died and was resuscitated. God brought him through a risky surgery and he recovered well but his addictions became his lifeline. Despite all this he was able to secure a great job which he recently lost. He came home for a few days and we learned that he was fighting an addiction to meth. He wants to clean up that he is fighting with the demons and he is fighting suicidal thoughts. I found notes in his room to support this. I will put into the sentence two words, but God. I can say this because God has given us tremendous promises regarding this child. Those of you who have called in and prayed for him, we repeat the prayers you pray often. It strengthens our faith. Prophetic Intercessor, we repeat the words God gave you over and over because they line up the promises that God has put in our heart. Thank you Rich for your update on your journey to sobriety. It also gives us hope. Several phrases in Psalm 116 stand out – the chords of death entangled me, the anguish of the grave came over me then I called on the name of the Lord. Lord, save me for You Lord have delivered me from death. You have freed me from my chain. Please, family, continue to speak life over Jared. Take authority over the enemy and declare deliverance. Thank you so much. We love you all. Thank you DAB.
