Deuteronomy 2:1-3:29, Luke 6:12-38, Psalms 67:1-7, Proverbs 11:27
Today is the 24th day of March. Welcome to the Daily Audio Bible. I’m Brian and it is a joy to be here with you. Let’s all reach out together and twist the knob and push it open and walk through the threshold into a brand-new shiny, sparkly week together. And this will be the last full week in the third month of the year 2019. Next week we’ll be into the fourth month if you can believe it. So, this week we’ll be reading from the God’s Word Translation and we just began the book of Deuteronomy yesterday. The book of Deuteronomy is three discourses from Moses. These are the final things that he had to say. And kinda as we talked about that yesterday, some of this is review but generational changes are happening. Moses is about to recede and depart into history, while Joshua is about to take the children of Israel across the Jordan River into the promised land and lead them forward. Now there on the east side of the Jordan River and this book Deuteronomy is the last of what Moses has to tell to the people before that break, before he becomes a part of the past, a part of their history and they move forward into their future. So, today Deuteronomy chapter 2 and 3.
Prayer:
Father, we thank You for another day in Your word and we thank You for a new week opening up before us and we are eager for all that You will speak to us through Your word each and every day of this new week. And Father time…time is such an interesting porous thing. Sometimes it seems like it’s taking forever and moving like sludge, sometimes it feels like we can’t even get our feet on the ground we’re spinning so fast because things are moving so quickly and one of the things that roots us to now is this daily rhythm of coming and allowing Your word to speak into our lives what we need for today. And, so, we thank You for this and as we live into this, the last full week of this third month of the year, as we prepare to finish the first quarter of the year already, we thank You, we thank You for all that You have spoken into our lives and all that You have transformed inside of us and all that is yet to be done as You continue the work of sanctification in our lives. Come, Holy Spirit we pray. In Jesus’ name we ask. Amen.

Community Prayer and Praise:
Hello everybody, hey this is Annette from Oklahoma City. Things are going pretty good, thank you all for praying. Okay, so I’m riding my motorcycle, me and a husband there - old man…that’s so rotten - but I have a certain route that I really like to take and it’s from Midwest City which is just east of Oklahoma City and it’s kind of some back roads up to 66 and makes a little circle around over from Luther Oklahoma to Pop’s. It’s kind of a stop that all the motorcycle community likes to stop that. It’s a lot of fun, but anyways, it’s kind of funny because even though I take this route the same kind of every time, it’s funny because I listen to the Community Prayer a lot of times because it’s on the weekend and three times in a row I have heard people at different locations in the same spot, like a Christie from Kentucky, my sister, I hear you every time right before I get to this certain barbecue place and it’s this really sharp corner right before I get to one of these places. But Lee from New Jersey, it is hilarious. I have heard your exact phone calls in three different times in the exact same place in the place that I took the picture at and I think it is 174th and the Hogback road, which I think is hilarious since your praying for gluttony. I’m like oh my gosh it is the hilarious, but thank you for praying for gluttony because, you know, you stopped me from buying ice cream the other day and here I am trying to, you know, get in shape after the winter. And, yeah, I think…I think your prayer for gluttony has struck a lot of chords with a bunch of us…
Hi everybody this is Candace from Oregon. Let’s pray. Lord, we thank you, we thank you so much for a place where we can all share in each other’s joys and burdens and be interceding for each other and hear the word together every day. Thank you, Lord. Thank you. Please bless Brian Hardin and the entire team. So, I want to ask everyone, if you’re alone please raise your hand up before the Lord or if you’re not alone just turn your palm upward as we agree in this prayer. Lord we bring to You those who have debilitating fatigue. Lord I pray that these people who have become very, very weak would discover the secrets in their each individual case, the secrets about what they should eat or drink and when and how to really listen to their body, get the right sleep the same time every day, and exercise, and fresh air. Thank You that winter is finally backing off. We can get outside Lord and receive all the healing that You have for us. I rebuke all foul spirits that are harassing anyone of these people and Lord I thank You that Your Holy Spirit is here and that Your strength is made perfect in weakness. This is no obstacle to You. Lord, shine Your glory through these very people Lord in Jesus’ name we pray. And thank You that we belong to You and You belong to us. In Jesus’ name.
Hello my name is Ruth and I’m calling from Australia. My husband and I are retired pastors and a friend of our family, he’s a married man, I would say his wife and children are not Christian’s either. He has been suffering from obsessive compulsive disorder for 20 years. He has three young beautiful little girls and the wife has managed to get therapy etc for years but he’s getting increasingly worse. He is suicidal, wanting to kill himself and our family member that knows them well has appealed for prayer. He is now gone out of state had a bad episode over there. He is wanting to kill himself and now contacted his wife yesterday in Australia and said he’s not coming home. So, we’re appealing for our family Daily Audio Bible to pray. I’ve been listening to this audio Bible series for only a few months and I am so impressed. I am putting a lot of people in contact with it and I’ve been really blessed. Please thank you for praying for Benjamin, his wife, and children and especially they’ll come to know Jesus. Thank you.
Hello, my name is Lily, I’m from Charlotte North Carolina and this is my very first I’m calling. I’ve been listening to Daily Audio Bible for about two years just recently heard my husband Zee on the prayer request section of March 20th and he mentioned how thankful he is for me and how he bought me the More Gathering ticket. I was so surprised to hear his voice on this app. Literally, I’m so thankful to God for him. I’ve been married to him for almost 5 years. I’m 25 years old and every day just so grateful for every year that I…that I get to spend with Zee. He’s so incredible and so encouraging. I’m calling because I have two prayer requests. First, I’m a nurse at the medical intensive care unit, absolutely love my job, but I pray that God just continues to use me for His kingdom and that those who feel like that they just don’t have hope they can find total dependence in Jesus. I don’t know what my next steps are in this career but this ties into my second prayer request, which is so important and could be completely life changing. In about two weeks we will be finding out about something that is basically an answer, a yes or no answer, and I just pray that this will, this answer will be Gods will for our lives and we can just feel absolute peace about it. It’s so important and it could be so pivotal to our marriage, to our life and whatever that is I just want it to be God’s will. Thank you to everyone who makes this possible and to those of you who are going through a health affliction. I just want you to know that your words touch my heart in a special kind of way. I’m praying about you…
