Numbers 4:1-5:31, Mark 12:18-37, Psalms 48:1-14, Proverbs 10:26

Today is the 5th day of March welcome to the Daily Audio Bible I’m Brian it is great to be here with you as we come around the Global Campfire together and just find our place, relax and take the next step forward together. And that next step forward will lead us back into the book of Numbers. The fourth book of the Bible. The fourth of five books of the Torah and certainly part of the giving of the law. So, we’ve been reading from the Evangelical Heritage Version this week, which is what we’ll do today. Numbers chapters 4 and five.

Prayer:

Father, we thank You for Your word and we thank You for another week. And as we bring to a close the first week or weekend in this brand-new third month of the year, we are grateful. Every time we think of time and look forward and look back, we become grateful. You have sustained us. You are Fathering us. You are maturing us. We’re growing up. And we ask Father as we continue this journey that we would continue to put away childish things, things that go nowhere, things that do not help. We want to be mature sons and daughters of the most-high. And even saying that sentence is beyond comprehension. But that’s what we’re invited into in the Scriptures and that's…that’s how we want to live and that’s what we believe to be true. It’s just beyond our comprehension. It's…it’s so big that it makes all the things that we busy ourselves with or entrench ourselves with. These little competitions everywhere with our fellow brothers and sisters, these are going nowhere. We already one. We are children of the most-high. And, so, plant this reality in our hearts as we continue forward, as we mature, as we grow up. We pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Community Prayer and Praise:

OK. This is my third attempt at this. I keep going over the two-minute limit. Hello guys thank you so much for praying for me. I didn’t get my name before it was because I was trying to conceal my identity. I didn’t want people who might know me who are listening to have a problem. I was the one who called in anonymously about having kind of screwed up my own reputation feeling like I went to Bible school for nothing. And I wanted to thank the man and the woman who answered me back. I don’t remember your names, but I wrote them down in my journal. I thank you for your words of encouragement. Thank you for your challenge to me. And I took some initiative with some of the things you both said, and I joined CR, Celebrate Recovery in my church and I was able to enter it into that group of men and tell them the truth about who I am. Some of them had known me for a long time and didn’t know this part of me. And I confessed to them about how I’ve been struggling with this abusive tendency with my mouth, how it’s been affecting my whole life and how bitterness has consumed me. And those guys just spilled over and love and embraced me right away, revealed to me that this is the gospel, this is how it works. We don’t see you any different than we did before because Jesus saved all of us while we were still sinners. Christ died for us. And I know that, we all know that as Christians but it’s so easy to forget because our flesh wants us to. And, so, I just wanted to praise God for this new group of believers that are going to help me get through this crazy time in my life. And I encourage…I encourage all of you to find gospel speaking, truth speaking people to encourage you. Thank you.

Hi, DABbers I’m Sheridan from Brighton just calling up with an amazing praise report. Firstly, just to put in context, we’re kind of __ as __ Buddhist countries around the world. I just met a Buddhist here in Brighton who was praying recently and had a vision of Jesus. She now wants to become a Christian and wants to find out everything about Jesus. Praise the Lord. Amen.

Hello Global Campfire. First time calling in and just want to say happy sabbath. My heart’s heavy tonight because I keep thinking about Ukraine and what’s going on right now and the war that’s happening. And as I was praying about tonight, I was realizing like I don’t understand the scope of the prayer that I need to pray to…to…to be the hands and feet of Jesus in…in…in a place that’s so distant from me. So, I just ask that like our Global Campfire lift up Ukraine tonight. And maybe this is the harvest season, right? Maybe this is an opportunity for those people who are, you know, underground right now to be praying with their friends and family and lifting up those men and women that are out there that are fighting for their country. And…and, you know, we’ve got…we need to be praying for Russia too. You know, we’ve got a serious…serious event happening in the world and…and this is an opportunity for harvest to…to happen. So, let's…let’s pray. I just wanna lift up my prayers that that we as the body of Christ can totally understand with the scope of a prayer should be and…and that this terrible terrible war isn’t in vain and that God will use it to glorify Himself and His body and His church. So, thank you. Thank you for this community. And lift that up in Jesus’ name.

Hey family this is Melissa from Albertville AL. Bria, Jill, China, and Ezekiel thank you for all that you do for body…for the body of Christ. I just want to let a few people know I’m praying for them. BW in NC, thank you for thinking of me. And when you think of me, please pray for me. Val in Vegas I want you to know I’m praying for you sister. I understand what you’re going through. I’ve been battling upper respiratory issues and infections for months and I…I know. And the last time you call you said you want to do it and He said he would. I know what you’re talking about girl. I’m praying for you. Come on back to us. I love your energy. I love your spirit. Aaron from Vegas you said a prayer for the people whose faith has gotten weak. Beautiful prayer. Beautiful. It touched my heart. And my sister in the UK. I think her name was Julie, you have to move because your landlord is selling or something and you’re depressed, and your anxiety levels are high. Trust in God sweet sister. We’re praying for you. God is able. He will keep you. He will give you a place to live. My daughter battles depression and anxiety. I’m not touting medicine but sometimes you may have a chemical imbalance and it won’t hurt to check on that. It may…it may help you. I love you family. I’m listening. I don’t call all the time, but I am listening. Y'all have a blessed day. Bye-bye.
