Way Maker - Michael W. Smith
“And after forty years had passed, an angel appeared to
him [Moses] in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in the flame of a burning thorn
bush. And when Moses saw it, he began to
marvel at the sight; and as he approached to look more closely, there came the
voice of the Lord; ‘I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham and Isaac
and Jacob.’
“And Moses shook with fear and would not venture to
look. But the Lord said to him, ‘Take
off the sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy
ground. I have certainly seen the
oppression of My people in Egypt and have heard their groans and I have come
down to deliver them; come now, and I will send you to Egypt.’
“This Moses whom they disowned, saying, ‘Who made you a
ruler and a judge?’ is the one whom God
sent to be both a ruler and a deliver with the help of the angel who appeared
to him in the thorn bush. This man led
them out, performing wonders and signs in the land of Egypt and in the Red Sea
in the wilderness for forty years. This
is the Moses who said to the sons of Israel, ‘God shall raise up for you, a
prophet like me from your brethren.” Acts 7:30-37
Perhaps the most important point in Scripture is that God’s ‘goal’
is not to overpower skeptics with flashy miracles. That would be easy for Him. He seeks to reconcile all men to Him to
restore those original ‘walks in the Garden’…to love and be loved. His plan was never to create robots who would
simply obey or to overwhelm us with the force of fear to walk with Him
From the covenant with His chosen people, He hovered
protectively over them - to when His beloved Son taught the will of God ‘from
the bottom up’ and to today as His Holy Spirit fills us with His literal and
awesome presence. His plan unfolds in
perfection. And we enjoy the privilege
God has chosen for us – the vital mission of sharing His Truth with those
around us.
Take care, your servant and friend in Christ, Darlene (who
prays for you each morning).

·
Kim and Elizabeth
– Kim recently lost her mom and Elizabeth just lost her father. This is a painful time of the year for these
dear women. Pray their wounded hearts
will be comforted through this time.

Isaias and Judith
(Ambassadors for Christ the Philippines) – the Philippines has been
devastated by constant batterings from typhoons and floods. Take a moment to visit their new website: https://afcph.org/
to learn more. Many believers have lost
everything, including worship centres, computer equipment, musical instruments
and sound systems. China’s threat grows. Pray for the leaders, administrators, workers
and teachers. Pray our Father keep these
servants strong, in good health, safe and supported and that they keep a
balance in their lives. They need funds badly now. Please take a moment to send encouragement
to Isaias Catorce, who teaches and leads the groups at icatorce@gmail.com
·
USA – Pray the Lord will demonstrate His power in unexpected
and uniting ways during these times of unrest and confusion. Help hearts settle and rest in Him
alone. Let the truth of God’s Word and
ways overcome the drive to destroy our founding, Bible-based values. For Christ-centre, Bible-based revival in the
USA and religious freedom for Christians wherever they may be.
·
J&R – recently
had the privilege of sharing the Gospel with them and would appreciate prayers
that God uses His words in their hearts to draw them to Him for Eternity!
·
Kevin and Sandy
Currel - (in Melbourne) Kevin has a wonderful ministry in teaching
through images and words and has created many Christian resources. (To learn more: https://www.kevincurrell.com/
). He just had another procedure, which looks good and will have the results
next week. Please continue to pray for
him, especially that God will supply the funds needed for this extraordinary
time.

USA President
Donald Trump – As Christians it
is our responsibility to pray for our leaders and trust that God has a plan for
the USA through this man. If you
doubt the importance of his appointment, just look at the baseless antagonism
against him. Surely Satan is NOT happy and means to thwart God’s plan. Pray someone helps President Trump and Melania understand the true meaning of a
personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Pray they will both have an insatiable hunger to read God’s Word for
themselves. Pray God sends a
Bible-Believing Christian to regularly disciple them in the Truth. Pray God shuts the mouths of the false
prophets who regularly circle around them.
Pray for those in full-time service
Pray to uphold our Christian leaders – that they never compromise God’s Word, are bold and courageous in the face of evil. Pray for their wisdom, safety, ingenuity, strength and for their families.
Pray for those with ongoing health concerns
Many of us have family, friends and loved ones with fragile health. Pray God takes special care with them and protects them in practical ways and that the Lord will have mercy on them during this challenging time.
