Daniel 5:1-31, 2 Peter 2:1-22, Psalm 119:113-128, Proverbs 28:19-20
Today is the 28th day of November, welcome to the Daily Audio Bible. I am Brian. It is truly a joy and a pleasure to be here with you at the threshold of a brand-new shiny, sparkly week, a week that will lead us into the 12th month of the year. So, by the time we’re done with this week we’ll be kind of on what is really shaping up to be the home stretch now. And so, as always, we stand here at this threshold, looking out over this new week. Knowing that nothing, nothing is ruined this week yet, nothing is ruined anything, we can we can march forward into this we can ruin everything if that’s really what we got our heart set on. I’m sure that none of us do. I’m sure we’re all here for the same thing, which is to walk with God and…and to do it with shalom, with peace and order and so yeah, unexpected things may come flying our way, we can just begin to choose now to be aware that this is likely to happen in some fashion and we don’t just have to react. We can choose in advance to take a deep breath, invite the Holy Spirit and then move forward. So, it’s great. I always love when we come to this fresh start of a new week. We will read from the New Living Translation this week. Continuing our journey in the book of Daniel, today, Daniel chapter 5.
Prayer:
Father, we thank You for Your word. We thank You for Your kindness and patience. Your long-suffering, Your endurance with us and even as we continue to be counseled about endurance in the Scriptures, help us to realize that we are simply mimicking You. You are long suffering, You are kind to us so we ask Holy Spirit that You come, plant the words of the Scriptures deep into the soil of our hearts. May these seeds be watered by the word, may we in collaboration with You groom until in care for and weed the soil of our lives that we might have a bountiful harvest for Your kingdom. We pray this in the name of Jesus our Savior. Amen.
Prayer and Encouragements:
Hi Jackie, this is Christie from Kentucky. I wanted to call because your phone call moved me, deeply, regarding your friend who has dementia and has that horrible paranoia about her husband cheating on her and specifically, and being mad at you. I have someone in my life that I so love that had dementia right before she went home. And she too, accused her husband of this and I watched how hard it was for him. And how hard it was for all of us. So, I want to thank you for calling in and for showing your love, your grace and your compassion towards your best friend and knowing that this is just part of her disease. And what a horrible way for her to live. What a horrible way for her husband to have to go day by day assuring her that that’s not true. So, I just wanted to thank you and let you know that I am praying for her, I am praying for her husband and I’m praying for you and so proud that you are my sister in Christ who understands, who prays and forgives. Alright, I love you girl, I pray that you’re having a most blessed and lovely day today.
Giving all praise and honor to my Lord and savior Jesus Christ who is the head of my life. This is Walking in the Wilderness in Georgia, Laura. And I’m praying for Nita who called in and left a prayer request and it aired on November the 25th which is Thanksgiving Day here. By the time this airs it will be passed, of course. But anyway, she was calling in asking prayer for her marriage of over 50 years. Her husband who has not treated her well has a sex addiction and she’s asking prayer for him. His name is Robert. Father God, I pray that you deliver whatever spirit that is over Robert that is causing him not to be the man of God that he should be for himself and towards his wife. And I pray for Nita, I pray Father God, that You strengthen her, that You comfort her, that You give her peace and that You continue to allow her to feel Your love and to know that she is not alone and that You hear her and that You can do the impossible, You make the impossible, possible. And let her know that she is heard. Nita, I continue to keep you lifted up darling and thank you for calling in. And thank you Brian, Jill, China, Ezekiel and all those who participate in keeping this wonderful ministry going. It has been a God-send for me for the last two years. And I am so blessed.
Good morning family and Happy Thanksgiving. This is Joyce from Virginia and I’m calling in with an encouragement to Mikayla from Gloster, UK, and to let her know that I’m praying. I have a friend Mikayla whose been struggling with sleep and so every time I pray for her, I’m praying for you. It was great to hear your voice, God bless you sister.
Hi this is Dee-ann from Washington and I just wanted to respond to Nita, praising God’s request that was about her husband Robert who is trapped in sexual addiction. Nita, I want you to know that this is not about you. This is obviously about your husband and his brokenness and I would like to pray for him. My heart goes out to you dear sister. So, Father we just lift up Robert Lord our heart breaks for him that he’s trapped in this scheme of Satan to get him into this sexual addiction pattern God. We just pray for the chains to fall off, the chains of addiction. Lord, we pray You’d rescue him from this strap. We pray that he would humble himself and realize that he needs You for his fulfillment, not other women and I just pray that he would run back to his faithful wife and I pray for reconciliation for their marriage. I pray that he would plant his feet on the solid ground of You and Your word. I pray that Nita would stand strong right now and look to You to be her, her Savior and her comfort and her best friend, her help in time of need. So, God we just commit this marriage to You, we commit Robert to You God and Lord, we just lift this up to You Father. Amen. So, Nita, just know that God will never leave you, nor forsake you, He’s right by your side and He will carry you through no matter what happens. But we do ask for help for Robert Father, in the name of Jesus. Amen.
