**NEW link for the 13th 100 days 24 hours prayer campaign (from March 15 to June 22, 2013)
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 1,200 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 1,200 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!

Bible Study
Today's passage gives us a dark side of Jesus' apostles. Not only did they misunderstand Jesus' warning and they trying to be No. 1, they underestimated Satan's power thinking that they could win over Satan. Can you feel how lonely Jesus could be? He was the only one to face the Cross with no one backing him up!
N.T. Wright says:
What emerges from this whole picture is the sheer loneliness of Jesus, both at the supper for which he had longed, and as he goes off to wait for betrayal, arrest and all that would follow. There are times when all Christian work carries this element: when the one entrusted with a vision, a vocation, a particular ministry finds that he or she has to carry it forwards despite misunderstanding, opposition, doubt and denial, even from close friends and associates. Those who want to be bearers of the promise must be prepared for this puzzle. It seems to be built in to the fabric of how the kingdom has come and will come.
Do you know you can't win over Satan if you do not know how to use your spiritual weapon and bullets? Do you know even you know how to use your spiritual weapon and bullets but without Jesus with you each day you would soon be taken captive? Do you know? Don't make the same mistake as Peter did!
Let's 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"

What I heard from Jesus today is: I can't, but you can!
Today Jesus gives us a warning that we need to be very carful of Satan's trick to sift us as wheat. I have been trying my best the past 3 1/2 years to help more brothers and sisters know that without a daily intimate personal relationship with Jesus we are doom to be destroyed by Satan. Jesus last sentence to Peter is the key to our call and duty to be Jesus disciple:
"And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers."
Luke 22: 32
How, be being a Discipler to help two to three people like how Jesus lead Peter, James and John. I beg you to catch this opportunity to use the coming 40 days of Break and Build to be a Discipler/Evangelist/Mentor to use the card and my new Break.Build podcast/blog to help two to three people to have 40 days of good daily devotion so that you can fulfill Jesus' call to strengthen your brothers and sisters.
I deeply believe if you can do that, you and your friends will become Jesus' true disciples. You will understand more about why Jesus' warned Peter in today's passage. And, you won't step into the same trap as Peter did!
