DAY 157 (2020) - Diamond opportunity! Sleep granted! Sweet sleep! (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 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."

The Word, Time with Abba (Psalm 127:1-2, 2 Samuel 23:24-24:25; Acts 3:1-26; Proverbs 16:21-23)


    Today's main passages:
Unless the Lord builds the house,
    the builders labor in vain.
Unless the Lord watches over the city,
    the guards stand watch in vain.
In vain you rise early
    and stay up late,
toiling for food to eat—
    for he grants sleep to  those he loves.
Psalm 127:1-2

            Fill my heart with joy
    when their grain and new wine abound.
In peace I will lie down and sleep,
    for you alone, Lord,
    make me dwell in safety.
Psalm 4:7-8

When you lie down, you will not be afraid;
    when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.


Proverbs 3:24

Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.” Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man’s feet and ankles became strong. He jumped to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping,and praising God. When all the people saw him walking and praising God, 10 they recognized him as the same man who used to sit begging at the temple gate called Beautiful, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

Acts 3:6-10


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: Diamond opportunity! Sleep granted! Sweet sleep!

    Lots of people cannot sleep well due to this few months of pandemic! How about you?

    The first three main passages today are the most used passages for me to help those who cannot sleep to have sleep, or even sweet sleep.

    The fourth passage is the one for Jesus to use me as a channel to bring healing, freedom and salvation to many the past many years! Look closely at this verse that Peter used only one sentence to heal a man who was lame from birth not only to be able to walk but to jump!

    So, if you cannot sleep well recently, I think this time of crisis is a time for you to be more closer to Jesus and to receive His healing, His promise that all He loves will have good sleep, sweet sleep! Do you believe that?

    My wife and I believe that and have been experiencing that for many years so we always have good and sweet sleep everyday, even in the most stressful, critical and painful time!

    If you believe and would like to receive God's promise of sweet sleep, please open your hands like you are ready to receive a big and heavy gift from the Holy Spirit and let me pray for you now:

    "In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, sweet sleep!"
    
     
     Reflect on these questions:
     1. How can you  grasp this diamond opportunity to have good sleep, even sweet sleep every night?
     
      2.  What is your next step to make that happen?
