1 Kings 9:1-10:29, Acts 8:14-40, Psalm 130:1-8, Proverbs 17:2-3
Today is the 12th day of June welcome to the Daily Audio Bible, I’m Brian, it is awesome to be here with you today as we, man we’re approaching the middle of another month, we’re not there, no, I know, we got a few days. I just notice that when we get into that week and I start looking at the calendar and I’m like wow, this is, this is how it goes. We’re only a couple weeks away from the middle of the year already. And I for myself couldn’t be happier to be on any journey with anybody than this one with you. Ånd so, let’s take that next step forward. We’re reading from the Common English Bible this week. 1 Kings chapters 9 and 10. And just by way of reminder we are, we are reading the life of King Solomon. And we have reached this place where this is ancient Israel’s finest hour, at least as told in the scriptures. And so, let’s enjoy the peace and prosperity that’s happening here, it took centuries to reach this point and it just last’s so briefly. So, 1 Kings chapters 9 and 10.
Prayer:
Thank You Father for Your word. All that we are learning in Kings Solomon’s reign and observing in ancient Israel and all that we are learning and observing about the early birth of the church after Your ascension we thank You for these things from 1 Kings and Acts. We thank You for what’s spoken of in the Proverbs today, that You are the tester of the heart. You test the heart in the same way a crucible is a tester for silver and a furnace is for gold. And so, purify us God. Make our hearts true before You that we might have eyes to see and ears to hear and that we can completely participate in what You are doing in this world. We can assume our place in Your story. Come Holy Spirit we pray. We ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Prayers and Encouragement:
Good morning Daily Audio Bible family this is Samuel. I’m calling from Nigeria and this is for Brian who is missing his mother on June 8th ___. Thank God for her life and thank God for you that you’re able to carry on the good work of the Daily Audio Bible family even after she has passed on. And many of us know what it means to have lost a loved one so I pray that God’s strength be with you, God’s grace would be upon you, He would continue to strengthen you and your entire family and He would give you grace even when you continue with the good works that she started and do more. In Jesus name. Amen. And I would also like to pray for the caller who called in for a nephew who had a neuro-blastoma in the cerebellum. I know that region and God’s hands is really with you. And it really pains me so much that that young boy has to go through with all that but we pray in the name of Jesus that come June 16th he would be found cancer free in the name of Jesus. God would strengthen him, God would strengthen his mother and his family. The good work that the Lord has started in him God would complete it in the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus God would strengthen you too give the boy grace and he would become a testimony of God’s healing power and for his future in the name of Jesus I pray for every other Daily Audio Bible family member that God would be with you that are listening to that are not listening that God would be with them. God would carry your body, God would lift all of us, God would bless us. Thank you, Daily Audio Bible family, I’m glad to be a part of this family and this family is a blessing to me. God bless every one of you. Keep loving Jesus, keep walking in His ways and it will always come through for you. Amen.
Hey DABers it’s…calling in today to pray for so many of you. I listen almost every day and pray for so many of you, I’m on the east coast, my name is Charlie and I love this ministry, this podcast and all of you. I want to pray for Andrew who is a young man in college who realizes that he wants to follow God and commit his life to God and I just pray for Andrew that he will find a Christian group on campus, there’s so many where he can build new relationships and he can start studying the word of God and creating a community because the enemy loves to keep us in isolation. So Andrew, right now, in the name of Jesus I pray that He will bring you into a community of believers on campus, you and your girlfriend, so that you both can begin to build a foundation of faith and of studying the word of God and getting it on the inside of you so that you would become strong and realize that you are a child of the most high God and that you have the power and the authority to grow in faith and in love for the Lord God and for yourself and for other believers. I want to pray for Desperately Running to Jesus who is mourning the loss of her family members, so many people are mourning the loss of their children who’ve committed suicide, son’s who’ve died by motorcycle accidents and it’s…and family who’ve passed. Lord God, death is a natural part of life that’s so hard for us to accept sometimes. So, right now in the name of Jesus I pray for the healing balm of Gilead to flow out on every single person who is listening to this podcast and…and mourning the loss of a loved one. And God, I just pray that You would remind us that we are yoked to You and Your yoke is easy and Your burden is light. I thank You that You are all mighty God and I commit our way to You and our path to You in Jesus name. Amen.
This is a message for Angie who called on the 9th of June. Talking about how you’ve got someone whose 28 and has found a new mum. And you’ve been an addict since he was 18 and you’ve been very close but he’s found this mother and she’s a Christian and you’re pleased about it but you’re clearly really upset understandably. I don’t know the ins-and-outs of the situation but you’ve must of called around about the day that we were listening to …Brian talked about Solomon asking for wisdom and then afterwards the two women come to him with their child both arguing that it’s their child and in the end the real mother is identified by the fact that she wants the best for the child and I just wanted to make sure that you realize that that’s you. Because you…you’ve accepted that he’s found this other woman even though it’s upsetting to you and in the end that’s how that woman got her child back by wanting the best for her son. So, I just wanted to make sure that you realized that that was you and that you’re doing the right thing by caring about your son more than yourself and to have faith because that’s how that woman got her son back. Yeah, I just wanted to make sure you knew that. God Bless.
Hi there Daily Audio Bible, my name is Shinu, I’m from South Africa. I’m calling in this morning because I need some prayer. I’ve been struggling a lot recently. We’ve moved recently me and my family to a new place and because of this pandemic and because of things that have happened in the last year I’m feeling quite stuck. And there’s a lot of things that I’ve been dealing with that I’ve been trying to deal with on my own and with God. There’s a lot of healing that needs to happen and I just don’t think my parents quite understand or care for that matter. And it’s been really hard because they have all these expectations of me and I try so hard to meet those expectations but I’m struggling with anxiety and depression. Not the clinical depression but the depression of the body and the mind. And I feel like there’s so much healing that I need to do and they…they can’t see it or they don’t care or whatever but it’s really hard and difficult trying to feel like I’m not a burden. Trying to feel like I’m not useless. Trying to feel like I’m just this ghost, roaming around my house. I feel so estranged from the people that I love and I really need prayer. Thank you.
Hello Daily Audio Bible this is God’s Tree for I have many branches and I’m trying hard to be rooted in the word of God. I called a few weeks back about my son going through a difficult time trying to find a job and trying to get a reliable car and everything. Well, me and my husband decided to pray over him this weekend and cover him cause he’s a good kid just has bad luck. And, this morning I just got a call from him, he’s driving his father’s truck trying to go for…to take a test for a job and lost control of the truck and crashed it and it caught on fire and total loss of the truck. And even though his father was not angry he was glad that he’s safe in my heart I’m afraid that my husband is gonna hate my son cause he keeps taking us a through monetarily. And I’m just asking that you would pray for my family and my relationship with my son and my husband. He’s a step-son to my husband but he…that’s the only daddy he knows. But it’s starting to cost us a lot of money to get him straight even though he’s a good kid. So, I ask that you just pray for him, his name is Tyke and that God would turn around his situation and that the enemy would stop attacking him and his luck would improve and his life would be better. He’s 30 years old and he wants to be stable and have a good life and I know that there are other people who have worse things going on in their lives but I just need prayer for my situation. I thank you all. God Bless you.
