Proverbs 7

Beware of the Adulteress

1 (Pr 1:8) My son, keep my words,
and lay up my commandments within you.
2 (Dt 32:10; Ps 17:8) Keep my commandments and live,
and my teaching as the apple of your eye.
3 (Pr 3:3; 6:21) Bind them on your fingers;
write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 Say to wisdom, "You are my sister,"
and call understanding your kinswoman,
5 (Pr 2:16; 6:24) that they may keep you from the immoral woman,
from the seductress who flatters with her words.
6 For at the window of my house
I looked through my casement,
7 (Pr 6:32; 1:22) and saw among the simple ones,
I discerned among the youths,
a young man void of understanding,
8 passing through the street near her corner;
and he went the way to her house
9 in the twilight, in the evening,
in the black and dark night.
10 (Ge 38:14-15; 1Ti 2:9) And there a woman met him,
with the attire of a harlot, and subtle of heart.
11 (Pr 9:13; Titus 2:5) She is loud and stubborn;
her feet do not abide in her house.
12 (Pr 23:28; 9:14) Now she is without, now in the streets,
and lies in wait at every corner.
13 (Ge 39:12) So she caught him, and kissed him;
and with an impudent face said to him:
14 (Lev 7:11) "I have peace offerings with me;
this day have I paid my vows.
15 Therefore I came out to meet you,
diligently to seek your face, and I have found you.
16 (Isa 19:9; Eze 27:7) I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry,
with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.
17 (Ps 45:8) I have perfumed my bed
with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning;
let us solace ourselves with love.
19 (Mt 20:11) For my husband is not at home;
he has gone on a long journey;
20 he has taken a bag of money with him,
and will come home at the day appointed."
21 (Pr 5:3; Ps 12:2) With her enticing speech she caused him to yield,
with the flattering of her lips she seduced him.
22 He went after her straightway,
as an ox goes to the slaughter,
or as a fool to the correction of the stocks,
23 (Ecc 9:12) until a dart struck through his liver.
As a bird hastens to the snare,
he did not know that it would cost him his life.
24 (Pr 5:7; 4:1) Listen to me now therefore, O children,
and attend to the words of my mouth:
25 (Pr 5:8 ) do not let your heart turn aside to her ways,
do not go astray in her paths;
26 (Ne 13:26) for she has cast down many wounded,
and many strong men have been slain by her.
27 (Pr 5:5; 9:18) Her house is the way to Sheol,
going down to the chambers of death.

Proverbs 7
1 My son, keep my words,
And lay up my commandments with thee.
2 Keep my commandments, and live;
And my law as the apple of thine eye.
3 Bind them upon thy fingers,
Write them upon the table of thine heart.
4 Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister;
And call understanding thy kinswoman:
5 That they may keep thee from the strange woman,
From the stranger which flattereth with her words.
6 For at the window of my house
I looked through my casement,
7 And beheld among the simple ones,
I discerned among the youths,
A young man void of understanding,
8 Passing through the street near her corner;
And he went the way to her house,
9 In the twilight, in the evening,
In the black and dark night:
10 And, behold, there met him a woman
With the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.
11 (She is loud and stubborn;
Her feet abide not in her house:
12 Now is she without, now in the streets,
And lieth in wait at every corner.)
13 So she caught him, and kissed him,
And with an impudent face said unto him,
14 I have peace offerings with me;
This day have I payed my vows.
15 Therefore came I forth to meet thee,
Diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.
16 I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry,
With carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.
17 I have perfumed my bed
With myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning:
Let us solace ourselves with loves.
19 For the goodman is not at home,
He is gone a long journey:
20 He hath taken a bag of money with him,
And will come home at the day appointed.
21 With her much fair speech she caused him to yield,
With the flattering of her lips she forced him.
22 He goeth after her straightway,
As an ox goeth to the slaughter,
Or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;
23 Till a dart strike through his liver;
As a bird hasteth to the snare,
And knoweth not that it is for his life.
24 Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children,
And attend to the words of my mouth.
25 Let not thine heart decline to her ways,
Go not astray in her paths.
26 For she hath cast down many wounded:
Yea, many strong men have been slain by her.
27 Her house is the way to hell,
Going down to the chambers of death.

Proverbs 8
The Virtue of Wisdom
1 (Pr 1:20-21) Does not wisdom cry out,
and understanding lift up her voice?
2 She stands on the top of high places,
by the way in the places of the paths.
3 (Job 29:7) She cries out at the gates,
at the entry of the city, at the entrance of the doors:
4 "To you, O men, I call,
and my voice is to the sons of men.
5 (Pr 1:22; 1:4) O you simple, understand wisdom,
and you fools, be of an understanding heart.
6 Hear, for I will speak of excellent things,
and from the opening of my lips will be right things;
7 (Jn 8:14; Ps 37:30) for my mouth will speak truth,
and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness;
there is nothing crooked or perverse in them.
9 (Pr 14:6) They are all plain to him who understands,
and right to those who find knowledge.
10 (Ps 119:72; 119:127) Receive my instruction, and not silver,
and knowledge rather than choice gold;
11 (Job 28:15-19; Ps 19:10) for wisdom is better than rubies,
and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
12 (Pr 1:4 ) "I, wisdom, dwell with prudence,
and find out knowledge and discretion.
13 (Pr 16:6; Ps 97:10) The fear of the Lord is to hate evil;
pride and arrogance
and the evil way and the perverse mouth I hate.
14 (Ecc 7:19; Isa 9:6) Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom;
I am understanding, I have strength.
15 (Da 2:21; Ro 13:1) By me kings reign,
and princes decree justice.
16 By me princes rule,
and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
17 (1Sa 2:30; Jn 14:21) I love those who love me,
and those who seek me early will find me.
18 (Pr 3:16; Mt 6:33) Riches and honor are with me,
yes, enduring riches and righteousness.
19 (Pr 3:14; 8:10) My fruit is better than gold,
yes, than fine gold, and my revenue than choice silver.
20 I lead in the way of righteousness,
in the midst of the paths of justice,
21 that I may cause those who love me to inherit wealth,
and I will fill their treasuries.
22 (Pr 3:19) "The Lord possessed me in the beginning of His way,
before His works of old.
23 (Ps 2:6) I was set up from everlasting,
from the beginning, before there was ever an earth.
24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth,
when there were no fountains abounding with water.
25 (Ps 90:2) Before the mountains were settled,
before the hills I was brought forth;
26 while as yet He had not made the earth or the fields,
or the first dust of the world.
27 (Pr 3:19; Isa 40:22) When He prepared the heavens, I was there,
when He drew a circle on the face of the deep,
28 when He established the clouds above,
when He strengthened the fountains of the deep,
29 (Ps 104:9; Ge 1:9-10) when He gave to the sea His decree,
that the waters should not pass His commandment,
when He appointed the foundations of the earth,
30 (Jn 1:1-3; Mt 3:17) then I was by Him, as one brought up with Him;
and I was daily His delight,
rejoicing always before Him,
31 (Ps 16:3; Jn 13:1) rejoicing in the habitable part of His earth,
and my delights were with the sons of men.
32 (Ps 119:1-2; Lk 11:28) "Now therefore listen to me, O you children,
for blessed are those who keep my ways.
33 (Pr 4:1) Hear instruction, and be wise,
and do not refuse it.
34 (Pr 3:13) Blessed is the man who hears me,
watching daily at my gates,
waiting at the posts of my doors.
35 (Pr 12:2; 3:13-18) For whoever finds me finds life,
and will obtain favor of the Lord;
36 (Pr 1:31; 15:32) but he who sins against me wrongs his own soul;
all those who hate me love death."

Proverbs 8
Wisdom and Folly
1 Doth not wisdom cry?
And understanding put forth her voice?
2 She standeth in the top of high places, by the way
In the places of the paths.
3 She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city,
At the coming in at the doors.
4 Unto you, O men, I call;
And my voice is to the sons of man.
5 O ye simple, understand wisdom:
And, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.
6 Hear; for I will speak of excellent things;
And the opening of my lips shall be right things.
7 For my mouth shall speak truth;
And wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness;
There is nothing froward or perverse in them.
9 They are all plain to him that understandeth,
And right to them that find knowledge.
10 Receive my instruction, and not silver;
And knowledge rather than choice gold.
11 For wisdom is better than rubies;
And all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
12 I wisdom dwell with prudence,
And find out knowledge of witty inventions.
13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil:
Pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way,
And the froward mouth, do I hate.
14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom:
I am understanding; I have strength.
15 By me kings reign,
And princes decree justice.
16 By me princes rule,
And nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
17 I love them that love me;
And those that seek me early shall find me.
18 Riches and honour are with me;
Yea, durable riches and righteousness.
19 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold;
And my revenue than choice silver.
20 I lead in the way of righteousness,
In the midst of the paths of judgment:
21 That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance;
And I will fill their treasures.
22 The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way,
Before his works of old.
23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning,
Or ever the earth was.
24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth;
When there were no fountains abounding with water.
25 Before the mountains were settled,
Before the hills was I brought forth:
26 While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields,
Nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there:
When he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
28 When he established the clouds above:
When he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
29 When he gave to the sea his decree,
That the waters should not pass his commandment:
When he appointed the foundations of the earth:
30 Then I was by him, as one brought up with him:
And I was daily his delight,
Rejoicing always before him;
31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth;
And my delights were with the sons of men.
32 Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children:
For blessed are they that keep my ways.
33 Hear instruction, and be wise,
And refuse it not.
34 Blessed is the man that heareth me,
Watching daily at my gates,
Waiting at the posts of my doors.
35 For whoso findeth me findeth life,
And shall obtain favour of the LORD.
36 But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul:
All they that hate me love death.

Proverbs 9

The Way of Wisdom

1 (Eph 2:20-22; Mt 16:18) Wisdom has built her house,
she has hewn out her seven pillars;
2 (Pr 23:30) she has killed her beasts, she has mixed her wine,
she has also furnished her table.
3 (Pr 9:14; 8:1-3) She has sent out her maidens,
she cries out from the highest places of the city,
4 (Pr 6:32; 9:16) "Whoever is simple, let him turn in here."
As for him who wants understanding, she says to him,
5 (SS 5:1; Jn 6:27) "Come, eat of my bread,
and drink of the wine which I have mixed.
6 Forsake foolishness and live,
and go in the way of understanding."
7 He who reproves a scorner gets shame for himself,
and he who rebukes a wicked man gets hurt.
8 (Ps 141:5; Mt 7:6 ) Do not reprove a scorner, lest he hate you;
rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.
9 (Pr 1:5) Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser;
teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
10 (Pr 1:7; Job 28:28; Ps 111:10) The fear of the Lord
is the beginning of wisdom,
and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
11 (Pr 10:27; 3:16) For by me your days will be multiplied,
and the years of your life will be increased.
12 (Job 22:2-3) If you are wise, you will be wise for yourself,
but if you scorn, you alone will bear it.

1 Wisdom hath builded her house,
She hath hewn out her seven pillars:
2 She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine;
She hath also furnished her table.
3 She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth
Upon the highest places of the city,
4 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither:
As for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
5 Come, eat of my bread,
And drink of the wine which I have mingled.
6 Forsake the foolish, and live;
And go in the way of understanding.
7 He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame:
And he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.
8 Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee:
Rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser:
Teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom:
And the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
11 For by me thy days shall be multiplied,
And the years of thy life shall be increased.
12 If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself:
But if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.

The Way of Foolishness

13 (Pr 7:11; 5:6 ) A foolish woman is clamorous;
she is simple, and knows nothing.
14 (Pr 9:3) For she sits at the door of her house,
on a seat in the high places of the city,
15 to call those who pass by
who go right on their way:
16 "Whoever is simple, let him turn in here."
And as for him who lacks understanding, she says to him,
17 (Pr 20:17; 30:20) "Stolen waters are sweet,
and bread eaten in secret is pleasant."
18 (Pr 7:27) But he does not know that the dead are there,
and that her guests are in the depths of the grave.

13 A foolish woman is clamorous:
She is simple, and knoweth nothing.
14 For she sitteth at the door of her house,
On a seat in the high places of the city,
15 To call passengers
Who go right on their ways:
16 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither:
And as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
17 Stolen waters are sweet,
And bread eaten in secret is pleasant.
18 But he knoweth not that the dead are there;
And that her guests are in the depths of hell.

Unbroken Faith </a> by Xochitl Dixon

Psalm 95:1-7

God Is Light

1 O come, let us sing unto the Lord;
let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving;
let us make a joyful noise unto Him with psalms!
3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) For the Lord is a great God,
and a great King above all gods.
4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) In His hand are the deep places of the earth;
the heights of the mountains are also His.
5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) The sea is His, for He made it,
and His hands formed the dry land.
6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) O come, let us worship and bow down;
let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker.
7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) For He is our God,
and we are the people of His pasture
and the sheep of His hand.
Today if you hear His voice,

Psalm 95
[1] O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the
rock of our salvation.
[2] Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful
noise unto him with psalms.
[3] For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods.
[4] In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills
is his also.
[5] The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land.
[6] O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our
maker.
[7] For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep
of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,

When Dianne Dokko Kim and her husband learned that their son's diagnosis was 
autism, she struggled with the very real possibility that her cognitively 
disabled son might outlive her. She cried out to God: What will he do without 
me to care for him? God surrounded her with a support system of other adults 
raising children with disabilities. He empowered Dianne to trust Him with 
her often-unexplainable guilt, feelings of inadequacy, and fear. Eventually, 
in her book Unbroken Faith, Dianne offered hope for "spiritual recovery" to 
other adults raising children with disabilities. As her son enters adulthood, 
Dianne's faith remains intact. She trusts that God will always 
care for her and her son.

Uncertainties in life can harden our hearts toward God. We may be tempted 
to place our faith in other things or people, including ourselves. We can, 
however, depend on "the Rock of our salvation" (Psalm 95:1) - a phrase 
that points to the certainty of God's character. "In his hand are 
the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him. 
The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land" (vv. 4-5).

We can live with unbroken faith, worshiping our "Lord our Maker" (v. 6). 
We can trust Him to be with us and those we love 
because we're "the flock under his care" (v. 7).

Reflect & Pray

How has God shown that He cares for you and your loved ones when you've 
felt helpless? How does knowing the certainty of His character 
help you trust Him as a promise keeper?

Great God, thank You for promising to care for me.

3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation

Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools

Week 2 - Saved by Grace - Day 3 - The Remedy

Acts 4:12

12 (Mt 1:21; Jn 3:36) "There is no salvation in any other,
for there is no other name under heaven given among men
by which we must be saved."

12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name
under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

"You have cancer", the doctor told his patient. "We need to operate
- as soon as possible. It's the only remedy." The patient, not wanting
to undergo surgery unless it was absolutely necessary, sought out a second
opinion, then a third. When the third round of testing came up with the same
results, she returned to the doctor and submitted herself to the treatment.
Often the remedy for the problems in our lives seems worst than the problems
themselves. We don't want to endure the pain of self-examination, of honest
confrontation with our sin and selfishness. We'd rather live in "blissful
ignorance" than face up to ourselves.
But the Bible tells us there is only one remedy for sin: casting ourselves
upon the saving grace of God in Jesus Christ. Submitting ourselves to God's
"treatment" for sin is not an easy matter or a simple decision. We have to
give up on ourselves, on our own striving for self-salvation. We have to come
to the agonising realisation of our sin, the depths to which we have fallen.
Acknowledging sin is not a duty simply for "bad" people who have lived in
rebellion against God. "Good" people - Sunday-school kids, moral parents,
and sweet little grandmothers - may have more difficulty coming to Christ
than swindlers and prostitutes, precisely because their sin is not as
visible - sometimes it is even applauded by church and society.
"Good" or "bad", we all have the same problem: sin. And, because
of the Lord's grace, we all have the same remedy: salvation through Christ.
As we look to him, not to others, and see ourselves in light of his holiness,
we can glimpse the seriousness of our own resistance to him and call upon
his name.

Application

a) What other "remedies" have I tried to use in treating my sin?

b) Why is Jesus Christ the only source of salvation?

c) How can this verse help me to see the "salvation"
of Christ in the daily struggles of life? 

4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland

Matthew 6:19-21

Treasures in Heaven

Lk 12:33-34

19 (Heb 13:5; Lk 12:21) "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth
where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal.
20 (Lk 12:33; Mt 19:21) But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven,
where neither moth nor rust destroy
and where thieves do not break in nor steal,
21 (Lk 12:34) for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."

19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth
corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust
doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

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

God's Eternal Faithfulness

2 Tim 2:8-13

8 (Mt 1:1; Ro 2:16) Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead,
descended from David, according to my gospel,
9 (Php 1:7; 2Ti 1:8) in which I suffer trouble like a criminal,
even with chains. But the word of God is not bound.
10 (Col 1:24; 2Co 1:6; 4:17) Therefore I endure all things
for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain
the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
11 (Ro 6:8; 1Th 5:10) This is a faithful saying:
If we die with Him,
we shall also live with Him.
12 (Mt 10:33; Ro 8:17 ) If we endure,
we shall also reign with Him.
If we deny Him,
He also will deny us.
13 (Nu 23:19; Ro 3:3 )If we are faithless,
He remains faithful;
He cannot deny Himself.

8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead
according to my gospel:
9 wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of
God is not bound.
10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also
obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
11 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him,
we shall also live with him:
12 if we suffer, we shall also reign with him:
if we deny him, he also will deny us:
13 if we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

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.

6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2022 edition?)

Quebec

Quick facts on Muslims in Quebec

Quebec 2015 population  8214 000

est Muslim Population    418946

CNMM Networks:  Montreal

There is a growing Muslim population in Quebec City and a smattering
of Muslims scattered around the rest of the province, yet the vast majority
of Muslims live in the greater Montreal area. n fact, 23% of Canada's Muslim
population live in Quebec. Why is that? It is largely because Francophone
African Muslims are attracted to La Belle Provence.
And here's an interesting, perhaps even shocking fact: There are more 
Muslims in Montreal than there are evangelical Christians. 
This is one demographic factor creates a challenging environment for churches
and believers here: The size of the available 'workforce' is small 
by comparison to begin with. Believers are already is a host culture that
is often either indifferent to religion  or resistant to it.  And now 
this 'new'  religious community of Muslims - many of whom do not visibly 
or socially conform to Quebec society - are a growing population. It might br
easy for Christians to feel overwhelm by this cultural double-whammy, 
yet God has always worked miracles through the small, the few.
Agree in prayer for :

- The people of Quebec, Muslim or otherwise, to be open to the Gospel
- for Muslims who are encountering believers and responding

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 15:13

My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further
call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity
