DAY 192 (2020) - Let God strengthen your family! (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 147:12-20,1 Chronicles 9:1-10:14; Acts 27:21-44; Proverbs 18:23-24)

     Today's main passage:

 Extol the Lord, Jerusalem;
    praise your God, Zion.
He strengthens the bars of your gates
    and blesses your people within you.
He grants peace to your borders
    and satisfies you with the finest of wheat.
He sends his command to the earth;
    his word runs swiftly.
He spreads the snow like wool
    and scatters the frost like ashes.
He hurls down his hail like pebbles.
    Who can withstand his icy blast?
He sends his word and melts them;
    he stirs up his breezes, and the waters flow.
He has revealed his word to Jacob,
    his laws and decrees to Israel.
He has done this for no other nation;
    they do not know his laws.
Praise the Lord.

Psalm 147:12-20

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: Let God strengthen your family!

    Just as I shared in my blog/podcast the past two days, Satan has a lot of opportunities to storm into our lives and our families to steal, kill and destroy. How can we be strengthened by God that we are secure and experience the presence of God each day to be in His protection and blessings?

    Today's Psalm gives us very good guidance. What I received is extremely simple but lots of Christians do not know or do not practice. The way is:
    1. Praise (verse 12)
    2. Praise (verse 12)
    3. Praise (verse 12)

    If you believe in the power of praise and practice daily, I am sure that you will enjoy the blessings it brings and you will surely be strengthened! 

J
     Dear Lord Jesus,  
     Lead us to praise you more each day that we can enjoy your presence and protectionIn Jesus Name we pray, Amen.
       
     Reflect on these questions:
     1. Have you learned a good way that you and your family be strengthened?
       
      2.  What is your next step to begin living out this kind of successful lifestyle?
