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 and having Jesus as my Lord. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.”
"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."
“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 and having Jesus as my Lord. 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."

Today's main passages:
Then the Lord said to Joshua: 2 “Tell the Israelites to designate the cities of refuge, as I instructed you through Moses, 3 so that anyone who kills a person accidentally and unintentionally may flee there and find protection from the avenger of blood. 4 When they flee to one of these cities, they are to stand in the entrance of the city gate and state their case before the elders of that city. Then the elders are to admit the fugitive into their city and provide a place to live among them.
13 So to the descendants of Aaron the priest they gave Hebron (a city of refuge for one accused of murder), Libnah,
20 The rest of the Kohathite clans of the Levites were allotted towns from the tribe of Ephraim:

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 from Jesus is: Don't let COVID-19 kills the relationship of you and your spouse!
Recently we have quite a number of our brothers and sisters sharing their deep feeling of fear to catch COVID-19, of death and of the coming of the end of the world. This anxiety makes them to have bad mood and temper, causing arguments and sometimes a kind of intentional and unintentional hurting to each others.
I had an example to give thanks to which happened yesterday when some of our people sharing of how they received from the passages of "cities of refuge". They were being reminded by the Holy Spirit of their sins. One of them shared:
"I am confessing my sins because I have bad temper recently and always hurting my spouse. When my spouse wanted to get away to the "city of refuge" and I chased her and hurt my spouse with my words! I am wrong!"
Because of this frank confession, all eight others admitted that we committed same sin and we all confessed our sins! This is so powerful!
What Satan wants is to kill the relationship of husbands and wives through COVID-19! May we all wake up and be willing to let the Holy Spirit to shine on us that we can be able to see our sins and repent! That we can sacrifice everything we have to love our spouse! That those who want to chase and kill to repent, and for those who are being chased to forgive and love that this wicked and cunning plan of Satan will be destroyed!
There were six cities of cities of refuge, if you want to know more about "cities of refuge" please click this link:

Dear Lord Jesus,
Help us to be willing to sacrifice everything we have to love our spouse so that this wicked and cunning plan of Satan will be destroyed. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
Reflect on these questions:
1. What is your action plan to be willing to sacrifice everything you have to love your spouse so that this wicked and cunning plan of Satan will be destroyed?
2. What is your next step to make that happen?
