Today is the 3rd day of May welcome to the Daily Audio Bible I’m Brian it is a pleasure to be here with you as we…well…we continue to move in fully into this brand-new. It’s before us but now we’re crossing the threshold into a new week, our first full week of the month of May. And it does my heart good to be here with you around the Global Campfire and I hope the you feel the same. So, we’ve got a brand-new week we’ll read from the New Living Translation this week and we will continue our journey through the book of Judges by reading chapters 17 and 18 today.

Prayer:

Father, we thank You for this new week and we thank You for this new month and we thank You for all that You have brought us through not only in recent times, but in our lives and we thank You that You continue to lead us forward, step-by-step, day by day, minute by minute, second by second. We thank You that we can never flee from Your presence. You are always with us. You are within and among us. Give us eyes to see, give us vision to see Your kingdom and our place in it as we move through and navigate this week being guided by the presence of Your Holy Spirit. We pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Community Prayer and Praise:

Hey DAB family this is Living in His Presence Scooter in Tuckahoe. My mother’s going through some challenges. She’s quarantined in New York City and while she still symptomatic they’re looking to send her back because of time limits and procedural snafus and red tape silliness. So please, if you can pray for my mother it would be appreciated. And Diane Olive Braun I wanted to thank you so much for singing Mr. Rogers bringing your joy and your voice back in…in this way it was just a real gift. I remember when you first came on at least the first time I heard you, you were speaking of having lost her voice but it’s there, it’s still beautiful and it was a real gift. So many are loved, are so dearly loved by me and my wife Diane. I’ll be calling back to lift all of you up later. Not enough time to do it now. Be blessed everyone.

This is Kim from Florida and I apologize for not calling my prayer…my praise report in sooner. I asked you to pray for my best friend having major brain surgery, by the way her name’s Teresa. Talk about raising hallelujah, wow! God showed up in a miraculous way and I believe it is because so many people prayed. I don’t fully understand the dynamics between the prayers and God, I just know it’s a synergistic platform that works. So, they were able to remove the entire tumor, all but one tiny little speck attached to that major blood vessel. She is walking and talking and doing great. She is tired and weak right now because she had a major brain surgery on her central nervous system. So, healing must continue but praise the Lord. Now we just need to pray her or two sons into the kingdom. Thank you again everyone for praying. It works. God is good all the time and all the time God is good. By now.

Good morning Daily Audio Bible this is Bimbola Lagos. I’m calling to say thank you to Nicole from Florida for calling in. I found her message so encouraging, that no matter how dark the times are just stay in the Word and the Lord himself will walk you through things. Oh, I am so encouraged, and I decided to __ and __ to the word of God than ever before. Thank you, Nicole. Thank you, Brian. Thank you, Jill. Thank you for all the people that call in and those that listen. God is good and this community’s…

Hi, my name is Jill. I just want to call in and thank Nicole from South Florida who I heard today. Today’s the 29th and it has been one month since my husband passed away and I really needed to hear Nicole, what you said, because I almost fast forwarded because your voice was just so cheerful, and I am not. But I’m glad I listened because I really needed to hear that after you said your husband passed away a couple years ago, I think, that there was joy and that the Lord would bring joy in the morning. And I’m hopeful for that. So, I just want to thank you again because I…I really needed to hear that after a night of praying and feeling like maybe God wasn’t listening. So, thank you Nicole. And I would just appreciate prayer for being able to go on and figure out who I am after 25 years of marriage and leaving…my best friend leaving to go and be with the Lord. So, thank you.

Hi Nicole from South Florida I want to tell you that your testimony of the way the Lord brought you through those difficult days after your husband died and you staying in the Word, that was such a beautiful testimony. It’s a true word of encouragement. I’ll be praying for you and you just continue to stay in the Word as you find that blessing. Thank God. Praise God for what He’s done and what He’s gonna continue to do in your life. This is Randolph from Canada.

Brian I am in the middle of your comments for today’s lesson, the 29th of April and you’re talking about, “weren’t our hearts on fire” and immediately I thought…I cut back to reading the first book you wrote about what caused you to start Daily Audio Bible. And you talk of us sitting around the Global Campfire. So, He ignited a fire within you that you have shared with us and it’s been going on these many years and will continue. I think that is just wonderful and I praise Him for lighting a fire in you so that through Daily Audio Bible that flame will never go out. As long as we are alive and pass it on it will never go out. Thank you, Brian and thank You Jesus for doing this. Thank you. Amen.
