DAY 276 (2019) - God's fortified cities! Satan's fortified city! Who win, who lose? (Please click here for English podcast)










Silence

1.   Put on your “brakes” and stop for a moment of silence
2.   Wait for God. Breathe deep for God's peace and feel His presence. Exhale your worries.

Praise and Thanksgiving

1.   Think through your day, all the times that made you smile
2.   Thank God for all those moments, and for all those people

Confession and Repentance (Subjective Shifting Devotion Method http://bishopsilas.blogspot.ca/2009/08/count-down-5-subject-shifting-devotion.html)

1.  Pray for the Holy Spirit to shine on you that you are able to discover your sins and be willing to repent:

     “Dear Holy Spirit, shine your light into the places of darkness in my life. Show me my sins, everything that blocks me from encountering God. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.”


2.  Through the Holy Spirit, examine yourself for a short silence and then pray:

     "Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for dying on the cross for our sins and being victorious over death and sin. I confess my sin to you(pause, to tell Jesus what the Holy Spirit has shown you). Forgive my sins by your blood and help me follow you. Holy Spirit, fill me that I may be able to receive your gift to love God and His people. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen."

The Word, Time with Abba (Psalm 108:6-13, Jeremiah 2:31-4:18; Philippians 1:1-20, Proverbs 24:21-22)


Today's main passages:

17 “Get yourself ready! Stand up and say to them whatever I command you. Do not be terrified by them, or I will terrify you before them.18 Today I have made you a fortified city, an iron pillar and a bronze wall to stand against the whole land—against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests and the people of the land. 19 They will fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am with you and will rescue you,” declares the Lord.
        Jeremiah 1:17-19
Who will bring me to the fortified city?
    Who will lead me to Edom?
11 Is it not you, God, you who have rejected us
    and no longer go out with our armies?
12 Give us aid against the enemy,
    for human help is worthless.
13 With God we will gain the victory,
    and he will trample down our enemies.   Psalm 108:10-13

“Announce in Judah and proclaim in Jerusalem and say:
    ‘Sound the trumpet throughout the land!’
Cry aloud and say:
    ‘Gather together!
    Let us flee to the fortified cities!’   Jeremiah 4:5

 12 and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light. 13 For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.    Colossians 1:12-14

Let's have a time to be still and give the Holy Spirit space to speak through the passages we have just read. Offer this time up to Jesus as you listen to him.

My Listening
The topic I received today is: God's fortified cities! Satan's fortified city! Who win, who lose? 

Yesterday's topic is "Today I have made you a fortified city"!

Today's message follows yesterday's that God gives you and your church to be a fortified city!

But, today's Psalm 108:10 tells us that Satan has his own fortified city and cannot be destroyed by human effort, only with God going and being with God that you can win, if not, you will surely lose, losing God's fortified city that He gives you and your church!

Jeremiah 4:5 tells us that God has many fortified cities, Colossians 1:12-14 tells us that the salvation of Jesus rescued us from the dominion of darkness to His Kingdom of light, and the Church represents that Kingdom, your church, all churches on earth!

No matter this fortified city is you or your church, be cautious always not letting Satan to steal or destroy it!


Dear Abba Father,
Help us to guard the fortified city you have given us not to be stolen or destroyed by SatanIn Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Reflect on these questions:
1. What kind of inspiration and invitation have you received from today's message ?

2. What is your next step to guard the fortified city God has given you not to be stolen or destroyed by Satan?

Family Corner:
Find an opportunity to share with your family the importance of today's message.

Praise and Thanksgiving
Let's give thanks for God with us. Let us praise Him:
