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 passage:
Praise be to the Lord my Rock,
who trains my hands for war,
my fingers for battle.
2 He is my loving God and my fortress,
my stronghold and my deliverer,
my shield, in whom I take refuge,
who subdues peoples under me.
who trains my hands for war,
my fingers for battle.
2 He is my loving God and my fortress,
my stronghold and my deliverer,
my shield, in whom I take refuge,
who subdues peoples under me.
Psalm 144:1-2
Let's have a time to be still and give the Holy Spirit space to speak through the passage we have just read. Offer this time to Jesus as you listen to him.
My Listening
The topic I received today is: God trains my fingers for battle!
Do you know the whole world is in battle now? The coming of COVID 19 is actually a big battle! Do you know that?
Do you think if there is anyone who does not know there is a battle but he is actually in the battle field? Impossible!
Today's Psalm 144:1-2 reminds us since the ancient time the world has been in lots of battle, only God can teach us how to fight this battle which we as human is doom to fail. Only in God's guidance and direction can we win this spiritual warfare!
Only our willingness to be in God's love can we be able to enter into the fortress, the stronghold and shield prepared by God so that we can be secure!
Do you know you are at war?
Do you know how to let God to teach you how to battle?
To me, God trains my hands for war are the hands of praying! God changed me eleven years ago in July 2009 to be a man of prayer and also uses me to raise up numerous people of prayer to lift up our hands to pray to God daily!
God trains my fingers for battle are my fingers to scribe the Bible! God changed me five years ago in July 2015 to be a man who spends time to scribe the Bible daily and also uses me to raise up numerous people to spend time each day to scribe the Bible so as to receive the power, guidance and command of God through the Bible!
To you, what does it mean for God to train your hands for war and your fingers to battle?
Do you know how to be in God's love that you are able to enter into the fortress, stronghold and shield prepared by God so that you can be secure?
Those fortress, stronghold and shield should be your church and the spiritual tactics, spiritual weapons, bullets you receive from the Lord. Have you got that?

Dear Lord Jesus,
Help us to obey your command to teach us how to battle and how to be in your protection so that we can be secure. In Jesus Name we pray, Amen.
Reflect on these questions:
1. How can you follow God to teach you how to battle?
2. What is your next step to make this happen?
