So, Paul names Hymenaeus and Philetus as people that are, you know, kind of stirring up all this weird stuff, these useless arguments and misleading debates. So, he calls them out and he says they’ve abandoned the truth and then he explains what they’re doing. They’re destroying the faith of others by saying that people who have died have already come back to life. So, that either reason this out themselves or they heard this somewhere and Paul’s saying that that’s the kind of stuff we’re avoiding. So, Paul says like, in spite of what they’re doing, in spite of all that, God’s people have a solid foundation. These words are engraved on it. And then we have a couple of these statements, the Lord knows those who belong to Him. And whoever worships the Lord must give up doing wrong. So, although we can find these themes in lots of places in the Scriptures, we get a little glimpse at how these things came to be. And when we begin over time to understand the context of things, the Bible really, really opens up to us.
Prayer:
And so, Father, once again, we thank You for Your word and the treasure that it is and our ability to dive deep and swim and drink deeply and understand what a treasure hunt this is to engage with Your word and invite Your Holy Spirit to speak through it. What a guide it is, what an adventure it is, and we thank You for that. And so, with Saints of old, we say what has been said for so long, if we have died with You, we will live with You. If we endure, we will rule with You. If we disown You, if we walk away, You’ll let us. You will disown us. If we are unfaithful, You are faithful because You can’t be unfaithful to Yourself. And we invite Your Holy Spirit to plan this ancient declaration deep in our hearts. We ask this in Jesus name. Amen.

Prayer and Encouragements:
This prayer and this message is to Lost in Texas, a brother in Christ who is, as I am as well, looking for that job that God has for him and for me. And Lost in Texas, I’m coming in agreement in the name of Jesus by the blood of the lamb of Jesus, by the power of the Holy Spirit, that God is going to use this time to draw you closer to Him and in the drawing closer to Him, He will allow you, through the Holy Spirit to weed through those things that are not what He has for you. I’ve learned and I’ve seen how God uses imperfect people to fulfill His perfect plan. And Lord, I lift up my brother Lost in Texas and just know that he has found, he is found in Christ. He is found in the blood of the lamb of Jesus, and so he is covered with grace. He is covered with mercy. And in the covering Lord, give him the strength to walk forward, one step at a time, recognizing God, that You already have that job, that position for him, set aside. You’re asking him Lord, to ask of You, and it shall be given to him. But also to seek with all his heart and all his efforts and all his actions. And to knock and that door will be opened. God, I pray for my brother Lost in Texas, to just do your best and let God do the rest. In Jesus name. And I look forward to a great report.
Hi, DAB this is Abraham from Texas. I’m just calling cause I really could use some prayers and encouragement. I’ve been listening to the DAB for 11 years now, or probably more like 12 years. Over ten years of that I’ve been married. And you know, I’ve been having a lot of issues in my marriage over the past ten years. Pretty much my entire, the entire time I’ve been married. Right after we had our wedding, my wife has been pretty much rejecting me. I’ve tried so hard to just love on her you know, be loving to her, pursue her. I’ve done so much and trips and surprises and everything I possibly could. You know, I just feel like I’m at my wits end. I don’t know how much longer I can put up with this. But it’s very painful to you know, just sometimes at night, I have to lie down and just be, sometimes in tears just with how much I just want to be near, close and hang out. You know, just have this friendship. But it’s like, it’s almost like we just two ships passing in the night, every day. We do have a child together. So, it’s like the common ground is that. You know, I know I don’t want to give up. I don’t know how much longer I can do this. I just, the DAB has been one of the things that has kept me going throughout this time. Just be able to listen and be part of community. Listen to prayers and just know perspective wise, there are worse things going on but at the same time, I just feel like I am, almost in a prison or just trapped because I love, I love my wife, I really want to have a good marriage with her. I want to model a good marriage for her, for our son. We both go to church and everything but …
Hello, Daily Audio Bible Family, this is Shantai calling from Port Saint Lucy, Florida. And I am calling first of all to say thank you, thank you, thank you for your continued prayers. Prisoner of Hope, Junk to Treasure, God’s Yellow Flower, for all those praying in regards to jobs, especially as it pertains to my husband obtaining a stable job that will have longevity. Because basically, the job he was just doing at the place where I work, which was supposed to be for two weeks long, it only lasted a week and a day. So, yesterday, they had him turn in his badge. They said that they assignment was completed. And that, yeah, that was basically it, you know. He did apply to other positions within the company. And so, we’re waiting to hear back in regards to those. And his other backup plan is to get a license that will allow him to drive school buses. And so, really he’s just you know, back to applying to wherever, you know. So, we are trying to just remain hopeful and continue to put our trust in our faith in the Lord to provide. You know, because we’re moving on November 18th and there’s a deposit and you know, all the moving expenses associated with that. And just our general bills that you know, are reoccurring. So, we just need your prayers.
Hello everyone, it’s Susan from Canada, God’s Yellow Flower. And Angie from Texas, I wanna thank you for the update on your son Juan. And know that, I have been praying for him and will continue. My son is about ten years older. We’ve been battling stage 4 cancer for 5 years already and coming on 6. And yeah, we just yesterday got the report that … I should tell you he had rather extensive surgery removing his whole left shoulder, his left arm and his, six of his ribs. He only has a very small part of his lungs on his right side that are working. His, part of his middle lobe and part of his lower lobe. So, he’s very short of breath, he’s in, he does suffer with a lot of discomfort, pain. He’s on, two medications for that. So, anyway, yesterday, they found growth in on an area. They’re not sure what it is. Of course, we’re hoping it’s nothing. But we’ll find out in a week or so. They’re gonna have the superstars review the scans and see. So, Lord God, I just pray for these two boys, for my Keith and for Juan. Lord God, that You would just bring peace, not only in them but in the families as well. As we ride this horrible train, cancer train, and we rest on You, Your will and Your way. Give us all the strength we need, courage and wisdom to face each moment as it arises. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
