Jeremiah 31:27-32:44, 1 Timothy 3:1-16, Psalms 88:1-18, Proverbs 25:20-22
Today is the 19th day of October welcome to the Daily Audio Bible I’m Brian it is a pleasure and joy to be here with you today for the next step forward together around the Global Campfire that we share. And that the next step forward will lead us back into the book of Jeremiah in the Old Testament and into the letter, the first letter…well…the letter to Timothy known as first Timothy in the New Testament. And, so, let’s dive in. Jeremiah chapter 33 and 34 today.
Prayer:
Father, we thank You. We thank You for Your word. We often when…when…when we become grateful and we consider the gift and we start thinking of all the different facets and all of the different nuances of the Scriptures that have touched our lives just in the recent weeks, but throughout this year, we’re far enough into this year now that we’re beginning to see that things change when we commit ourselves to each day immersing ourselves and interacting with the Scriptures. And, so, it’s very evident that though we might not be able to explain it things are shifting. The motivations of our hearts are shifting. Our countenance is shifting. The things that drive us are changing. You are transforming us. This is called sanctification. It’s a process but we are in process and each day as we meditate upon the Scriptures takes us a little bit further, transforms us a little bit more. And, so, we open ourselves to You Holy Spirit to continue this transformation within us by Your power, the power of the Spirit of the living God, but also through the gift and the Council of the Bible. So, come Holy Spirit and continue to lead us into all truth. Lead us forward, deeper into Jesus we ask. Amen.

Community Prayer and Praise:
Hey this is Blessed to Serve, and I am calling on October 15th after hearing a young lady who moved across the country with her family, her two children and her husband hoping and praying that that would be a…the answer as far as helping them to have a better life and…and she’s struggling with the fact that it’s not gotten easier. And I just want to say that, you know, I definitely am praying for you. And I can relate in that a lot of my life, I’m older, but a lot of my life I had that same feeling of…of, you know, “where are you God” at times. And I just want to tell you to just please, please, please, please spend, you know, just more time in God’s word and just keep crying out to Him in the day, in the morning, and night and just ask Him. And we’re going to pray with you. I am, for him to reveal to you how wonderful He is, how solid He is, how strong He is and how He has never left your side. He’ll never leave us or forsake us and He loves you and we all love you too. We thank you so much for sharing that. I just could feel your hurt. Be blessed…
Father God thank you so much for the Daily Audio Bible, for Brian, Jill, and their family and everyone who allows God to use their talents to bring your word to the world basically at this point. This family is growing and getting deeper roots by the year. I’ve been listening for about 12 years and the girl that called in this morning prompted me to be a first-time caller. You did not leave your name, but you were talking about moving across the country to better your life. And I would just like to say God loves you sweetheart. He is never…you’re never alone. He is always by your side. So, if I could talk to my younger self who did not know God at the time and had a moment with her, I would say take His hand Anne let Him lead you. Just be calm and try to have some peace. And look from the outside looking in. Look at all you do. You can find some gift in there that is something to be grateful for every single day. And you can start nurturing that ability and you’ll be able to let God help you see the beauty in your life and not only the pain. And I’m so sorry that you’re having to go through whatever you’re going through. I would like to lift up Victoria Soldier from the loss of her brother. I lost my brother when I was 17 and I’m so sorry sweetheart. It’s a terrible thing to go through. Asia, I’m praying for a miracle for you. And thank you Cindy for calling in about your brother and we’ll continue to pray for him. And I never thought I’d actually call in but God bless you all.
Hello, Daily DABbers this is Esther from Georgia. This is my first time calling in and I just have to say I’m just loving this Daily Audio Bible. I’ve been doing it for a couple of months. My daughter told me about it and I just love it. My heart goes out to so many of you that are struggling and having issues in your lives. And sometimes you just feel like where is God. But I do want to lift up Laura from Georgia whose son is Christopher Nettles. The lady that moved across country, you never gave your name, to get a better life with your family and things didn’t turn out right. Denise whose daughter Candace is having a Job experience and Kathy in Kentucky who’s very lonely and needs to supplement her income. I just pray in the name of Jesus that God will lift up every one of your prayer requests and your heart’s desire for your children and for your families, that God is still on the throne, and never will He leave you, never will He forsake you. It may feel like it but he’s there and I pray God would give you the touch that you need. Kathy, I pray God will send you someone that will be a friend to you, that will help you through these days and that will guide you on the things you need to do to supplement your income. I pray all this in the precious name of Jesus. Amen.
Hi this is Tammy from the Adirondacks it’s October 15th and I’m calling to give encouragement to the young woman who called in that moved her family across country and to Asia, I think you said your name was, from Chicago. You’re not alone. Both of you young girls, you’re not alone. God is with you. He will never leave you and He will never forsake you. And I know those moments. I know those moments too well when it feels like He’s not there. He is there and it’s the patience that we have to endure as Christians to…to get through these trials and…and these seasons that we go through. But lean into Him, press into Him, know you’re not alone. You have me and you have an entire DAB family community that are praying for you both all of the world. You are you’re never alone. God is always with you. He says in His word trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths. So, I pray that you two will find comfort in His arms and know that I love you, that you are so loved, and that the days will get better. It’s hard but they will get better one day at a time. Love you both. Bye. God bless.
Hello, my DAB family this is Jamie in New Jersey standing on the word of God. Pray with me. Dear Father in heaven thank You for this day. We praise You for who You made us to be, where You have placed us, and the people You have surrounded us with. We pray that we learn to soak in Your steadfast love and mercies each day. Father today we remind ourselves that everyone who calls themselves a Christian is in essence a teacher of the faith because we represent You to the outside world. What we say and do is a testimony to our faith and beliefs to honor Your great love and passion for all mankind. Let us represent Jesus well to all our family and friends. Lord we want to be a testimony of Your ability to transform a life yet some of us failed to acknowledge where we were when You came to rescue us. We don’t want others to see our scars. There’s not a single one of us who doesn’t have some scars on our souls from the things we’ve been through in the past. It’s just life. But these are scars and not open wounds. These scars on our souls they are part of who we are. They attest to what we have been through, and these scars will speak of the healing You have given us. Father You love us scars and all. These scars are beautiful and Your site. These scars on our soul show that we belong to Jesus. Help us to not hide our past but rather use it as a testimony of Your love, compassion, grace and mercy. May we draw others into Your loving arms. Thank You for all that You will do for our lives today. We pray in Jesus’ name. Amen. Thank you, my brothers and sisters for praying along with me. I hold each of you in my hearts. May God bless you.
Hey family this is Mike from New York City. Rather odd happening tonight. I’m working as a medic on a film set and we were shooting in New Jersey and this one guy I had been talking to, you know, the past three weeks, cool guy, we were just chatting about jobs and…and different places we’ve traveled. And I was sharing with him one story about crashing on a bike and how God saved me from falling off a cliff. And he got really hostile, like really hostile like against God. So, he must have some kind of hurt there. And then I shared with him just some testimony and some stories and he got really hostile and pretty much said I’m an idiot and I can’t have science or medical aptness and have faith as well. And he just kind of insulted me but other than, you know, that he really does not believe in God and has something against him. So, I’m going to ask you to pray. His name is Mark. Yeah…and he…he does film he does processing and a lot of back end work. But he has a hurt against God. I don’t know where, I don’t know if he’ll talk to me anymore. But just pray that God softens his heart, and he can use me as His vessel. And that I don’t mess it up. Thank you. Bye-bye.
