3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh.
4 (Jer 1:10; 2Co 6:7) For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but
mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds,

exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into
captivity to the obedience of Christ,

against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to
the obedience of Christ; 

How are we Empowered with Authority?

A) There is Power in the name of JEsus

and preach the gospel to every creature.

will be saved. But he who does not believe will be condemned.
17 (Ac 5:16; 8:7) These signs will accompany those who believe:
In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;
18 (Lk 10:19; Ac 3:16) they will take up serpents; if they drink
any deadly thing, it will not hurt them;
they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover."

to every creature.
[16] He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth
not shall be damned.
[17] And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they
cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
[18] They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it
shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall
recover.

10 (Mt 28:18) that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
of those in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 (Jn 13:13; Ro 14:9) and every tongue should confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.

[10] That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven,
and things in earth, and things under the earth;
[11] And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the
glory of God the Father.

B) We are Seated with Christ

22 (Ro 8:38; Mk 16:19) who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand
of God, with angels and authorities and powers being made subject to Him.

authorities and powers being made subject unto him.


Ephesians 1:3

3 (2Co 1:3; Eph 6:12; 2:6) Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly
places in Christ, 

[3] Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed
us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 

Ephesians 1:20

20 (Mk 16:19; Ps 110:1) which He performed in Christ when He raised Him
from the dead and seated Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places, 

[20] Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set
him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, 

Ephesians 2:6-9

6 (Eph 1:3) and He raised us up and seated us together in the heavenly places
in Christ Jesus,
7 (Titus 3:4; Eph 2:4) so that in the coming ages He might show
the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
8 (Eph 2:5; Mk 16:16) For by grace you have been saved through faith,
and this is not of yourselves. It is the gift of God,
9 (2Ti 1:9; Ro 3:20) not of works, so that no one should boast.

[6] And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly
places in Christ Jesus:
[7] That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace
in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
[8] For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it
is the gift of God:
[9] Not of works, lest any man should boast. 

C) Put on the Armour of God

1 Peter 5:8

8 (Job 2:2; Eph 6:11) Be sober and watchful, because your adversary
the devil walks around as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

[8] Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring
lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 

Ephesians 6:10-18

and in the power of His might.
11 (Eph 6:13; Ro 13:12; Eph 4:14) Put on the whole armour of God that
you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.
12 (Eph 1:3; 1:2) 1For our fight is not against flesh and blood,
but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers
of the darkness of this world, and against spiritual forces of evil
in the heavenly places.
13 (Eph 5:16) Therefore take up the whole armor of God that you may be
able to resist in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 (Isa 11:5; 59:17) Stand therefore, having your waist girded with truth,
having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
15 (Isa 52:7; Ro 10:15) having your feet fitted with the readiness
of the gospel of peace, 16and above all, taking the shield of faith,
with which you will be able to extinguish all the fiery arrows
of the evil one.
17 (Heb 4:12; Isa 49:2; 59:17) Take the helmet of salvation
and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 (Col 4:2; 1Ti 2:1; Eph 1:16) Pray in the Spirit always with all kinds
of prayer and supplication. To that end be alert with all perseverance
and supplication for all the saints.

[10] Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his
might.
[11] Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against
the wiles of the devil.
[12] For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities,
against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against
spiritual wickedness in high places.
[13] Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to
withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
[14] Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on
the breastplate of righteousness;
[15] And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
[16] Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to
quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
[17] And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is
the word of God:
[18] Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and
watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; 

D) Submit yourself to God

baptizing them in the name of the Father
and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20 (Mt 18:20; Ac 2:42) teaching them to observe all things I have commanded
you. And remember, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.

[18] And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me
in heaven and in earth.
[19] Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of
the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
[20] Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:
and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

from you. 

Zechariah 4:6

6 (Hos 1:7; Isa 11:2-4) And he said to me: "This is the word of the Lord
to Zerubbabel, saying: Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,
says the Lord of Hosts. 

[6] Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD
unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith
the LORD of hosts.

in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jekoliah from Jerusalem.
3 He did what was right in the sight of the Lord,
according to all that his father Amaziah had done.
4 But the high places were not removed. The people continued sacrificing
and making offerings on the high places.
5 (Lev 13:46; Nu 12:14) The Lord afflicted the king, and he was leprous
until the day of his death. He lived in a separate house. Jotham the king's
son was in charge of the house, judging the people of the land.

[3] And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to
all that his father Amaziah had done;
[4] Save that the high places were not removed: the people sacrificed and
burnt incense still on the high places.
[5] And the LORD smote the king, so that he was a leper unto the day of his
death, and dwelt in a several house. And Jotham the king's son was over the
house, judging the people of the land.

2 Chronicles 26
Uzziah, King of Judah
2 Ki 14:21-22; 15:1-7
1 (2Ch 22:1) And all the people of Judah took Uzziah
[Also known as Azariah in 2Ki 15.] and made him king in the place
of his father Amaziah when he was sixteen years old.
2 He built Eloth and restored it to Judah
after Amaziah the king slept with his fathers.
3 (2Ki 15:2-3) Uzziah was sixteen years old when he began to reign,
and he was king in Jerusalem for fifty-two years. The name of his mother
was Jekoliah from Jerusalem.
4 And he did what was correct in the eyes of the Lord as everything
his father Amaziah had done.
5 (2Ch 24:2; Da 1:17) And he sought after God in the days of Zechariah,
the one who instructed him in the fear of the Lord. And in the days
that he sought after the Lord, God caused him to succeed.
6 (Isa 14:29) He went out to make war with the Philistines, and he broke
through the walls at Gath and Jabneh and Ashdod. Then he built cities
in Ashdod and among the Philistines.
7 (2Ch 21:16) And God brought him aid against the Philistines and Arabians,
those living in Gur Baal, and the Meunites.
8 (Ge 19:38; 2Sa 8:2) And the Ammonites gave a gift to Uzziah,
and his name spread even to the border of Egypt because he became
quite powerful.
9 (Ne 3:13; 2Ki 14:13) Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate,
at the Valley Gate, and at the corner buttress; and he fortified them.
10 (Ge 26:18-21) And he built towers in the wilderness, and he dug out
many cisterns because he had a large amount of livestock,
both in the lowland Shephelah and in the plain. He also had workers
in the fields and vineyards in the hills and fertile orchards,
for he loved agriculture.
11 And Uzziah had an army prepared for battle, those who went out
for war as companies in the number of their divisions
by the appointment of Jeiel the scribe, and Maaseiah the officer,
and Hananiah a commander of the king.
12 The total number of chief officers of the mighty men of valor
was two thousand six hundred.
13 And under their hand was a mighty army of 307500 who were able to go
to battle as a strong army and to help the king against his enemies.
14 And Uzziah prepared for the entire army shields, long spears,
helmets, scale armor, bows, and slings for stones.
15 In Jerusalem he made war machines by skilled men to be placed
on towers and corners to shoot arrows and large stones.
And his name went out for a great distance.
He received great help until he was even more powerful.

[1] Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old,
and made him king in the room of his father Amaziah.
[2] He built Eloth, and restored it to Judah, after that the king slept
with his fathers.
[3] Sixteen years old was Uzziah when he began to reign, and he reigned
fifty and two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Jecoliah of
Jerusalem.
[4] And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to
all that his father Amaziah did.
[5] And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in
the visions of God: and as long as he sought the LORD,
God made him to prosper.
[6] And he went forth and warred against the Philistines, and brake down
the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod, and built
cities about Ashdod, and among the Philistines.
[7] And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians
that dwelt in Gur-baal, and the Mehunims.
[8] And the Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah: and his name spread abroad even
to the entering in of Egypt; for he strengthened himself exceedingly.
[9] Moreover Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the corner gate, and at
the valley gate, and at the turning of the wall, and fortified them.
[10] Also he built towers in the desert, and digged many wells: for he had
much cattle, both in the low country, and in the plains: husbandmen also,
and vine dressers in the mountains, and in Carmel: for he loved husbandry.
[11] Moreover Uzziah had an host of fighting men, that went out to war by
bands, according to the number of their account by the hand of Jeiel the
scribe and Maaseiah the ruler, under the hand of Hananiah, one of the
king's captains.
[12] The whole number of the chief of the fathers of the mighty men of
valour were two thousand and six hundred.
[13] And under their hand was an army, three hundred thousand and seven
thousand and five hundred, that made war with mighty power, to help the
king against the enemy.
[14] And Uzziah prepared for them throughout all the host shields, and
spears, and helmets, and habergeons, and bows, and slings to cast stones.
[15] And he made in Jerusalem engines, invented by cunning men, to be on the
towers and upon the bulwarks, to shoot arrows and great stones withal. And
his name spread far abroad; for he was marvellously helped,
till he was strong.

Uzziah's Punishment for Pride

16 (2Ch 25:19; Dt 8:14) And as he grew strong, his heart grew more proud,
leading to his destruction. Then he acted unfaithfully against the Lord
his God, for he entered the temple main hall of the Lord to burn
incense on the altar.
17 (1Ch 6:10) But Azariah the priest entered in after him,
and with him were eighty priests of the Lord-men of valor.
18 (Ex 30:7-8; Nu 18:7) And they stood against King Uzziah and said to him,
"It is not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the Lord for it is
for the priests, the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to burn incense.
Leave from the sanctuary because you have been unfaithful, and there
will be no honor for you from the Lord God."
19 (Nu 12:10) Then Uzziah was enraged, and in his hand was a censer
for incense. And when he became angry with the priests, leprosy appeared
on his forehead in front of the priests in the house of the Lord,
near the altar of incense.
20 Then Azariah the head priest and all the priests turned to him,
and he had leprosy on his forehead; and they hastened to remove
him from there, and he also hurried to leave because the Lord had struck him.
21 (Lev 13:46) So King Uzziah had leprosy until the day of his death.
He dwelt in a separate house with his unclean disease
because he was cut off from the house of the Lord.
Then Jotham his son was over the house of the king,
and he governed the people of the land.

[16] But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction:
for he transgressed against the LORD his God, and went into the temple of the
LORD to burn incense upon the altar of incense.
[17] And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him fourscore
priests of the LORD, that were valiant men:
[18] And they withstood Uzziah the king, and said unto him, It appertaineth
not unto thee, Uzziah, to burn incense unto the LORD, but to the priests
the sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to burn incense: go out of the
sanctuary; for thou hast trespassed; neither shall it be for thine honour
from the LORD God.
[19] Then Uzziah was wroth, and had a censer in his hand to burn incense:
and while he was wroth with the priests, the leprosy even rose up in his
forehead before the priests in the house of the LORD, from beside the
incense altar.
[20] And Azariah the chief priest, and all the priests, looked upon him,
and, behold, he was leprous in his forehead, and they thrust him out from
thence; yea, himself hasted also to go out, because the LORD had smitten
him.
[21] And Uzziah the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in
a several house, being a leper; for he was cut off from the house of the
LORD: and Jotham his son was over the king's house, judging the people of
the land. 

2 Kings 15:6-7

6 Now the rest of the deeds of Azariah, and all that he did, are they not 
written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah? 
7 So Azariah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers
in the City of David. Jotham his son reigned in his place.

[6] And the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all that he did, are they not
written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
[7] So Azariah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers
in the city of David: and Jotham his son reigned in his stead. 

Zechariah, King of Israel

2 Kings 15:8-29

8 In the thirty-eighth year of Azariah king of Judah, Zechariah 
the son of Jeroboam became king of Israel in Samaria for six months. 

[8] In the thirty and eighth year of Azariah king of Judah did Zachariah
the son of Jeroboam reign over Israel in Samaria six months.

9 He did evil in the sight of the Lord, as his fathers had done. 
He did not turn aside from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat,
 who caused Israel to sin.
10S hallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him, struck him at Ibleam, 
and killed him. Then Shallum reigned in his place.
11 Now the rest of the deeds of Zechariah, behold, they are written in 
the book of the annals of the kings of Israel. 
12 This was the word of the Lord which He spoke to Jehu, 
"Your sons will sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation."
And it was so.

[9] And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as his fathers
had done: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who
made Israel to sin.
[10] And Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him, and smote him
before the people, and slew him, and reigned in his stead.
[11] And the rest of the acts of Zachariah, behold, they are written in the
book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
[12] This was the word of the LORD which he spake unto Jehu, saying, Thy
sons shall sit on the throne of Israel unto the fourth generation. And
so it came to pass.

Shallum, King of Israel

13 Shallum son of Jabesh became king in the thirty-ninth year 
of Uzziah king of Judah. He reigned for a month in Samaria. 
14 Then Menahem son of Gadi went up from Tirzah, entered Samaria, 
and struck Shallum son of Jabesh in Samaria and killed him. 
Then Menahem reigned in his place.
15 Now the rest of the deeds of Shallum and the conspiracy he made, 
behold, they are written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel.
16 Then Menahem struck Tiphsah and all who were in it, and the territories 
around Tirzah. Because they did not open up the city to him, he attacked it.
Then he split open all its pregnant women.

[13] Shallum the son of Jabesh began to reign in the nine and thirtieth
year of Uzziah king of Judah; and he reigned a full month in Samaria.
[14] For Menahem the son of Gadi went up from Tirzah, and came to Samaria,
and smote Shallum the son of Jabesh in Samaria, and slew him, and
reigned in his stead.
[15] And the rest of the acts of Shallum, and his conspiracy which he made,
behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of
Israel.
[16] Then Menahem smote Tiphsah, and all that were therein, and the coasts
thereof from Tirzah: because they opened not to him, therefore he smote it;
and all the women therein that were with child he ripped up.

Menahem, King of Israel
17 In the thirty-ninth year of Azariah king of Judah, Menahem son of Gadi 
became king over Israel for ten years in Samaria. 
18 He did evil in the sight of the Lord. He did not turn aside all his days 
from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin.
19 Pul the king of Assyria came against the land, and Menahem gave Pul 
a thousand talents of silver, that he might help him strengthen 
his control of the kingdom. 
20 Menahem exacted the money from Israel, from all the very wealthy men, 
fifty shekels of silver each, to give to the king of Assyria. 
So the king of Assyria left and did not stay there in the land.
21 The rest of the deeds of Menahem, and all that he did, are they not written 
in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel? 
22A nd Menahem slept with his fathers, and Pekahiah his son reigned in his place.


[17] In the nine and thirtieth year of Azariah king of Judah began Menahem
the son of Gadi to reign over Israel, and reigned ten years in Samaria.
[18] And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed
not all his days from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made
Israel to sin.
[19] And Pul the king of Assyria came against the land: and Menahem gave
Pul a thousand talents of silver, that his hand might be with him to confirm
the kingdom in his hand.
[20] And Menahem exacted the money of Israel, even of all the mighty men of
wealth, of each man fifty shekels of silver, to give to the king of
Assyria.
So the king of Assyria turned back, and stayed not there in the land.
[21] And the rest of the acts of Menahem, and all that he did, are they not
written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
[22] And Menahem slept with his fathers; and Pekahiah his son reigned in his
stead.

Pekahiah, King of Israel

23 In the fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah, Pekahiah the son of Menahem 
became king over Israel in Samaria for two years. 
24 He did evil in the sight of the Lord. He did not turn aside from the sins 
of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin. 

[23] In the fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah Pekahiah the son of
Menahem began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned two years.
[24] And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed
not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.

25 But Pekah son of Remaliah, his officer, conspired against him 
and struck him in Samaria, in the palace of the king's house, with Argob, 
Arieh, and fifty men of the Gileadites with him. He killed him a
nd reigned in his place.
26 Now the rest of the deeds of Pekahiah and all that he did, behold, 
they are written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel.

[25] But Pekah the son of Remaliah, a captain of his, conspired against him,
and smote him in Samaria, in the palace of the king's house, with Argob and
Arieh, and with him fifty men of the Gileadites: and he killed him, and
reigned in his room.
[26] And the rest of the acts of Pekahiah, and all that he did, behold, they
are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

Pekah, King of Israel
27In the fifty-second year of Azariah king of Judah, Pekah son of Remaliah 
became king over Israel in Samaria for twenty years. 
28He did evil in the sight of the Lord. He did not turn aside from the 
sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin.
29 In the days of Pekah king of Israel, Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria came 
and took Ijon, Abel of Beth-maacah, Janoah, Kedesh, Hazor, Gilead, Galilee, 
and all the land of Naphtali, and then exiled them to Assyria.
30 Then Hoshea son of Elah made a conspiracy against Pekah son of Remaliah 
and struck and killed him. Then he reigned in his place in the twentieth 
year of Jotham son of Uzziah.
31 The rest of the deeds of Pekah and all that he did, behold, 
they are written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel.

[27] In the two and fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah Pekah the son of
Remaliah began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned twenty years.
[28] And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed
not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.
[29] In the days of Pekah king of Israel came Tiglath-pileser king of
Assyria, and took Ijon, and Abel-beth-maachah, and Jonoah, and Kedesh, and
Hazor, and Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali, and carried them
captive to Assyria.
[30] And Hoshea the son of Elah made a conspiracy against Pekah the son 
of Remaliah, and smote him, and slew him, and reigned in his stead, 
in the twentieth year of Jotham the son of Uzziah. 
[31] And the rest of the acts of Pekah, and all that he did, behold,
 they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
 
2 Chronicles 26:22-23

22 (Isa 1:1; 6:1) Now the remainder of the acts of Uzziah,
from beginning to end, Isaiah the prophet, son of Amoz, has written them.
23 (2Ch 21:20; 28:27) So Uzziah slept with his fathers, and they buried him
with his fathers in the burial field belonging to the kings because they said,
"He is a leper." And Jotham his son ruled in his place.

[22] Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, did Isaiah the
prophet, the son of Amoz, write.
[23] So Uzziah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers
in the field of the burial which belonged to the kings; for they said,
He is a leper: and Jotham his son reigned in his stead.

Jeremiah 38:1-10

1 Now Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the son of Pashhur,
and Jukal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur the son of Malkijah
heard the words that Jeremiah had spoken to all the people, saying:
2 (Jer 34:17; 39:18) Thus says the Lord: He who remains in this city
will die by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence. But he who goes
out to the Chaldeans shall live, for he shall have his life as plunder,
and shall live.
3 (Jer 21:10; 32:3-5) Thus says the Lord: This city shall surely be given
into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, and he will capture it.
4 (Jer 26:11; Ex 5:4) Therefore the officials said to the king, "We beseech
you, let this man be put to death, for he thus weakens the hands
of the men of war who remain in this city and the hands of all the people,
in speaking such words to them; for this man does not seek the welfare
of this people, but their harm."
5 (2Sa 3:39) Then Zedekiah the king said, "Here he is; he is in your hand;
for the king cannot do anything against you."
6 (Jer 37:16; 37:21) Then they took Jeremiah and cast him into the cistern
of Malkijah the son of Hamme­lech that was in the court of the prison,
and they let Jeremiah down with cords. And in the cistern there was
no water, only mud, so Jeremiah sank in the mud.
7 (Jer 29:2; 37:13) Now Ebed-Melek the Ethiopian, one of the eunuchs
who was in the king's house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the cistern.
Now the king was sitting in the Gate of Benjamin.
8 Ebed-Melek went forth out of the king's house and spoke to the king, saying,
9 (Jer 52:6) "My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have
done to Jeremiah the prophet whom they have cast into the cistern.
And he will die by hunger in the place where he is,
for there is no more bread in the city."
10 Then the king commanded Ebed-Melek the Ethiopian, saying,
"Take thirty men with you from here and take up Jeremiah the prophet
out of the cistern before he dies." 

[1] Then Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the son of Pashur, and
Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashur the son of Malchiah, heard the words
that Jeremiah had spoken unto all the people, saying,
[2] Thus saith the LORD, He that remaineth in this city shall die by the
sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth forth to the
Chaldeans shall live; for he shall have his life for a prey, and shall live.
[3] Thus saith the LORD, This city shall surely be given into the hand of
the king of Babylon's army, which shall take it.
[4] Therefore the princes said unto the king, We beseech thee, let this man
be put to death: for thus he weakeneth the hands of the men of war that
remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words
unto them: for this man seeketh not the welfare of this people, but the hurt.
[5] Then Zedekiah the king said, Behold, he is in your hand: for the
king is not he that can do any thing against you.
[6] Then took they Jeremiah, and cast him into the dungeon of Malchiah the
son of Hammelech, that was in the court of the prison: and they let down
Jeremiah with cords. And in the dungeon there was no water, but mire: so
Jeremiah sunk in the mire.
[7] Now when Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, one of the eunuchs which was in the
king's house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon; the king then
sitting in the gate of Benjamin;
[8] Ebed-melech went forth out of the king's house, and spake to the king,
saying,
[9] My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to
Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the dungeon; and he is like
to die for hunger in the place where he is: for there is no more bread in
the city.
[10] Then the king commanded Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Take from
hence thirty men with thee, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the
dungeon, before he die. 

Two workers at a Mars candy factory in Pennsylvania fell into a large vat 
of chocolate. This might sound like the beginning of a joke-and perhaps a 
lovely predicament to chocolate lovers! But the men-though unhurt-were 
waist-deep in the confection and couldn't get out on their own. 
Firefighters ultimately had to cut a hole in the side of the vat 
to deliver them to safety.

When the prophet Jeremiah found himself at the bottom of a mud-filled cistern,
the story was anything but sweet. As a messenger to God's people in Jerusalem, 
he'd proclaimed the urgency for them to leave the city because it would soon 
"be given into the hands of the army of the king of Babylon" (Jeremiah 38:3). 
Some of King Zedekiah's officials demanded Jeremiah be "put to death" because 
they claimed his words were "discouraging the soldiers" (v. 4). The king 
consented and they "lowered Jeremiah by ropes into the cistern" 
where he "sank down into the mud" (v. 6).

When another of the king’s officials-a foreigner, no less-advocated 
for Jeremiah's well-being, saying the others had "acted wickedly," Zedekiah 
realised he'd made a mistake and ordered Ebed-Melek to lift Jeremiah 
"out of the cistern" (vv. 9-10).

Even when we're doing the right thing-as Jeremiah was-we might sometimes feel 
like we're stuck in the mud. Let’s ask God to lift our spirits as we wait
for His help in the troubles we face.

Week 3 - Saved Now and Forever - Day 1 - Bought Back

Eph 1:7

7 (Ro 3:24; Ac 2:38; 20:28) In Him we have redemption through His blood
and the forgiveness of sins according to the riches of His grace

[7] In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins,
according to the riches of his grace;

In the opening scenes of The Glenn Miller Story, Glenn Miller, then a
struggling musician trying to find an audience for his music, enters
a pawn shop. He has hocked his trombone for rent money, and has come
to redeem it. Paying the pawn broker the money, he buys back his own
instrument and leaves the shop, indicating that he will probably
be back again.
In Eph 1:7. Paul says that in Christ "we have redemption through
His blood and the forgiveness of sin according to the riches of His grace."
We belonged to God from the beginning; he made us and stamped
his image upon us. But through sin we were lost, pawned to the
world's system and the Enemy of our souls.
But God redeemed us; he "bought us back" with the most valuable
currency in the universe - the blood of his own Son, Jesus Christ.
He did not resent the bargain, or question whether we were worth
such a price. He freely gave Jesus in trade to ransom the souls
of the people he created and loved.
Sometimes in Christian circles we get so caught up in religious
jargon that we forget what redemption really means. Gog did not have
to "get us out of hock." He was not compelled to buy us back when we
had sold ourselves to sin. But because of his love, and with no
deserving on our part, he chose to pay an enormous price to set us free.
We are redeemed, bought back, by the One who owned us in the first place.

Application

a) In what ways have I been "in hock" to sin in my life?

b) What does it mean, in practical terms, that God "redeemed" me
from that sin? 

4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland

Luke 16:10-12

10 (Mt 25:21; Lk 19:17) "He who is faithful in what is least is faithful
also in much. And he who is dishonest in the least is dishonest also
in much.
11 So if you have not been faithful in the unrighteous wealth,
who will commit to your trust the true riches?
12 And if you have not been faithful in that which is another man's,
who will give you that which is your own?"

10 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much:
and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon,
who will commit to your trust the true riches?
12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's,
who shall give you that which is your own?

5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:

God's Reconciling Peace

Col 3:12-17

12 (Eph 4:2; Lk 1:78) So embrace, as the elect of God, holy and beloved,
a spirit of mercy, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, and longsuffering.
13 (Eph 4:32; Mk 11:25; Eph 4:2) Bear with one another
and forgive one another. If anyone has a quarrel against anyone,
even as Christ forgave you, so you must do.
14 (Eph 4:3; 1Co 13:1-13) And above all these things, embrace love,
which is the bond of perfection.
15 (Jn 14:27; Eph 5:20) Let the peace of God,
to which also you are called in one body,
rule in your hearts. And be thankful.
16 (Eph 5:19; Col 1:28; Ro 10:17 ) Let the word of Christ dwell
in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing
one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,
singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
17 (1Co 10:31; Eph 5:20 ) And whatever you do in word or deed,
do all in the name of the Lord Jesus,
giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies,
kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
13 forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have
a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
14 And above all these things put on charity,
which is the bond of perfectness.
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye
are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom;
teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,
singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus,
giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

Remember God's promises when You pray

The Lord's prayer

Matthew 6:9-13

9 "Therefore pray in this manner:
Our Father who is in heaven,
hallowed be Your name.
10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;
Your will be done
on earth, as it is in heaven.
11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.
12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."

9 After this manner therefore pray ye: 
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 
11 Give us this day our daily bread. 
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: 
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020 

Under the Keep Praying page

When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month
and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days
of fasting, the Eid  celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that 
usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,
of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be
decorated and festivals will be held.

For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the
distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of
Islam.

You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
which means Blessed Eid!"

Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you 
know, and Muslims around the world:

- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions
in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about
unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such
movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three
decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim
relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 :  17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,
"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; 
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, 
your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
18 Even on My menservants and maidservants 
I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy. 
19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below: 
blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke.  20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]

Footnotes
	Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.
- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective
discipleship movements among Muslim people.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for
Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.
Matthew 5:14-15  : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a
hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under 
a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the 
house."

Ideas for prayer

- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you
- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving
Christ among Muslim people - 
Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."
- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims 
throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days! 

And 

Thank you for praying through the
5 Days of Prayer for Sikhs.

"My name is Kam. I'm 29 years of age, and I grew up Sikh. As a teenager, 
I struggled with depression, brokenness, and addiction to
cannabis. I didn't know how to stop or how to get help.

Then a friend invited me to church. As I spent time with Christians 
and heard the message of the Gospel, I experienced the
love of Jesus Christ, and it was like nothing I'd known before. 
One night I had a dream where I saw Him - a figure surrounded by
light who I knew was Jesus, the light of the world.

As I began to understand the gospel message, I encountered a reassuring and
confident solution to the problem of sin. I knew that I needed a solution 
to my sin problem, and I gave my life to Christ.

Slowly, God began to heal my broken heart and my addiction. 
Nine years have passed, and I am a devoted husband and a father
to two beautiful boys. I grow deeper in love with Jesus each day.

I ask you to continue praying with me, and others around the world, for Sikhs.
God is the only one who can draw people to Himself. He works in and through 
the prayers of His people. I want Sikhs to know the freedom 
and healing that is only available through Jesus Christ."

13 (Ro 14:17; 12:12) Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy 
and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope, 
through the power of the Holy Spirit.

[13] Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that
ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

Romans 12:4-8

4 (1Co 12:12-14)For just as we have many parts in one body,
and not all parts have the same function, 
5(1Co 10:17; 12:20)so we, being many, are one body in Christ,
and all are parts of one another. 
6(Ac 13:1; 1Co 13:2)We have diverse gifts according to the grace that 
is given to us: if prophecy, according to the proportion of faith; 
7 (Ac 13:1; Eph 4:11)if service, in serving; he who teaches, in teaching; 
8 (2Co 9:7; 1Co 12:28) he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with 
generosity; he who rules, with diligence; 
he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness. 

4 For as we have many members in one body, 
and all members have not the same office:
5 so we, being many, are one body in Christ, 
and every one members one of another. 
6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that 
is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according 
to the proportion of faith; 
7 or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, 
on teaching;
