**NEW link for the 11th 100 days 24 hours prayer campaign(from August 25 to December 03, 2012).
The easiest way is to take one hour slot for the whole week. What you need to do is very simple. Choose one dayThe easiest way is to take one hour slot for the whole week to pray for me, my family and my ministry, remembering the ministry of ACiC(ACiC has two Networks: ACiC, Anglican Coalition in Canada and AI, Asian Initiative). You may use the whole hour in prayer or you can still do you work in your office but use as much time as you can to pray and the other time work prayerfully that hour to pray for our ministry. This campaign is also to teach you that you need somebody to pray for you daily. I have been prayed for hourly the past 1,100 days and I have never experienced this kind of peace and protection before. It's just beyond words can express. If I did not listen and obey to Jesus call 1,100 days ago to start this prayer movement, I think I would be pulled into darkness and discouragement already! I deeply believe that this is a way to draw as many participation as we can in prayers. I encourage you to participate. We need you to join us! Trust in the power of prayers!
Today's Reading: Matthew 4: 1-11

Bible Study
Jesus demonstrates to us that we can not get away with Satan's temptation. He, just like all other humans was tempted by Satan in every possible way(Hebrews 4:15). We know that Satan tempted Jesus and us in mostly three areas:
Sex, Power and Money(That's the order of Satan's temptation in this passage, usually we say Money, Sex and Power). No one can get away from this kind of frequent temptation unless...unless you are equip with two things.
Do you know which two things to beat Satan? I am very sure, according to Jesus good example and if we follow we can win, if not we will lose. Because we are not able to fight against Satan. He was an Archangel, who are we? Remember in 2 Chronicles 32: 21 and Isaiah 37: 36 that in King Hezekiah's time when the Assyrian came to destroy the Israelites, God sent just one angel and he killed a hundred and eighty-five thousand Assyrian soldiers!
So, let's try to find that two things that you need to equip before I tell you what I got, shall we?
Have a time to be still and give the Holy Spirit space to speak through the passage of scripture we have just read. Offer this time up to Jesus as you listen to him, while listening to "Gabriel's Oboe"
Spiritual Journal
What I heard from Jesus today is: The two things to beat Satan!
What I got from Jesus today is a surprise gift because I have never notice verse 1. And verse 1 is the key:
The Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil.
So, now you know the two things that can beat Satan's spiritual attack and to prevail:
1. To be led by the Holy Spirit
If you do not have a daily intimate personal relationship with Jesus then where is the Holy Spirit? Only you are led by the Holy Spirit to confront Satan's attack then you have an opportunity to win, if not, I don't think you can beat this cunning and powerful Devil! How close are you with Jesus and to be filled by the Holy Spirit each day is the key! Right?
2. Equip with the Word of God - the Bible
We need to learn the Word of God well. The more we read the Bible, study the Bible, digest the message, memorize the verse, the more we are equip to beat the Deceiver, Satan.
Got it? Go and do it now before it's too late! Before is you go and read Luke 4: 13, Luke added one condition:
When the devil had finished all this tempting, he left him until an opportune time.
Do you know what Luke means. If you have a daily intimate personal relationship with Jesus and read the Bible each day equip with the Word of the Lord. Then, Satan will wait until one day you are down, depressed, do not have daily devotion, leaving Jesus far behind, then, that's the opportune time! And, he will come again in that moment, your weakest moment and take you out!
Dear Lord Jesus,
Help us to know this secret to beat Satan and really to do it every day. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
