Deuteronomy 9:1-10:22, Luke 8:4-21, Psalms 69:19-36, Proverbs 12:2-3
Today is the 28th day of March welcome to the Daily Audio Bible I’m Brian it is a joy and a privilege and an honor and everything else good to be able to step out of everything and come around the Global Campfire and just find a place together with you as we allow the Scriptures to become a part of this new week. In Fact, lead us into this new week, this brand-new shiny sparkly week that we have to live into. And, wow, we won’t finish this week until we have graduated into another month. If you can believe that we will finish the first quarter of the year during our week this week. Also, this is a big week. This is holy week. So, today is Palm Sunday, a day that we commemorate Jesus coming into Jerusalem riding on a colt, people putting palms down in front of Him, putting their cloaks down in front of Him and…and shouting hosanna. And of course, this Friday is Good Friday and a week from today is Easter Sunday. So, we find ourselves in the last week of the season of Lent, a season that we’ve talked about on a number of occasions, a season where we have yielded ourselves and opened ourselves and surrendered ourselves, a season of lament, a season of fasting, a season of giving everything to God that it might be rearranged and re-prioritized so that as we move toward resurrection Sunday all things are made new, and we begin…begin to live, truly from that place. So, yeah, we have…we’ve got plenty going on around here and in it all we will continue with our rhythm day by day step-by-step as we continue the journey through the Scriptures. So, we got a brand-new week. We’ll read from the Contemporary English Version this week picking up where we left off. In the book of Deuteronomy, Moses is speaking of course. Moses is saying all the things that he needs to say and leaving nothing unspoken as he prepares to turn over leadership to Joshua. Deuteronomy chapters 9 and 10 today.
Prayer:
Father, we thank You for Your word. We thank You for this brand-new shiny sparkly week, this week of tremendous importance and meaning to what we believe, this holy week. And, so, we enter deeply into that story as we observe Palm Sunday today. And as we move through this week, we move through it with deep reverence. We have encountered the story of Your return to Jerusalem, and Your betrayal and Your final meal and Your arrest and trial and Your death and Your resurrection. And we have moved through that story and now we are putting ourselves in the story and doing all that we can to live within what it would be like. And, so, come Holy Spirit and draw us near as we embrace the story that brings us salvation. And even as we transition from this month into the next month, we recognize that all things are being made new. Help us to embrace this. As the seasons begin to change help us to embrace that You are making all things new and may we sense new life coming we pray in Your precious name. Amen.
Community Prayer and Praise:
Good morning family just heard Angel from California she called in and she said her ministry was praying on the Prayer Wall. So, she makes a concerted effort to go onto the Prayer Wall and…and pray for everyone and I just thought that was awesome. So, I just want to give a shout out to __ Angel from California. Just thank you so much for what you’re doing and for your ministry. This is Delta Alpha Foxtrot calling from the central Texas front.
Hello DAB family today I’m calling in for prayer for something that I’ve been struggling with for quite some time. Before I gave my life to Christ and got serious about my walk with God I was feeling very depressed and I got into a lot of sexual sin and now I’m better mentally but for some reason I still keep going back to those things and I don’t want to speak on a side goal or a lifestyle. I know that I cannot obtain freedom on my own and that only through Christ I can, but I truly feel lost. But God put the scripture on my heart James 5:16. It says confess with one another therefore your faults, your slips, your false steps, your offences, your sins and pray also for one another that you may be healed and restored to a spiritual tone of mind and heart. And that is really what I need right now. I didn’t know who else to come to except for you. So, I’d really appreciate your prayers. I’m feeling very lost right now and I really need some help. Yeah. So I’d really appreciate that. Thank you.
Good morning DAB family this is Lady of Victory on Friday the 26th of March. How could we not Victoria Soldier pray for you when you have stood in the gap for all of us for so many years that this is just a no brainer? So, God we come to You on behalf of Your daughter our sister Victoria Soldier on behalf of her sister-in-law and nephew in Germany. God You see exactly what has taken place concerning her loved ones God and what is going on and how the enemy God is trying to steal kill and to destroy. God but You came that they might have life and that more abundantly. So, God as we stand in the gap for Victoria Soldier as she stands in the gap for her loved ones God, we ask that You would show Yourself mighty and strong. We ask that Your train will fill the temple where they are with Your glory, with Your power, with Your Majesty. God, we ask that You would defeat the enemy as You already have but that You would allow them to understand that the enemy is defeated and that no weapon formed against them shall prosper and every tongue that rises up against them they get to condemn. So, God whatever portal has been opened to allow the enemy to infiltrate their space we close it we bind it in the name of Jesus we tie it up we throw it back into the pit of hell from which it came and we loose the peace and the authority and the power of the almighty God in their lives. God we’re asking that You would do it for Your glory and for their good that they would see a victory that they would get their hope back that they would begin to put their trust in You. Victoria Soldier be encouraged sis. We love you.
God’s Smile this Dawn Rising I just wanted to call and thank you so much for reading that beautiful hymn. I’ve rewound it and played it and it has just spoken to my heart this morning. There’s so much sadness in my family right now and your words just flowed over me knowing you come from a place of such pain, of physical pain. And your ministry of obedience and love and just walking the Christian walk and you are building me up my friend. So, thank you for your words. It was like soothing salve to my open wounds this morning and I just love you. I just…I love you and I love what you did for me this morning. I love this family, and this is why. Many Gods blessings. Bye.
