    1) John 3, John 4:1-45

    John 3

    Jesus and Nicodemus

    1 (Jn 19:39) There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus,
    a ruler of the Jews.
    2 (Ac 2:22; 10:38) He came to Jesus by night and said to Him,
    "Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher who has come from God.
    For no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him."
    3 (Jn 1:13; 3:5-6) Jesus answered him, "Truly, truly I say to you,
    unless a man is born again,
    [Gk. a litra, or half a liter. he cannot see the kingdom of God.rCY
    4 Nicodemus said to Him, "How can a man be born when he is old?
    Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?rCY
    5 (Ac 2:38; Eze 36:25-27; Mk 16:16) Jesus answered, "Truly, truly
    I say to you, unless a man is born of water and the Spirit,
    he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
    6 (Ge 6:12; Job 14:4) That which is born of the flesh is flesh,
    and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
    7 (Jn 3:3; 5:28) Do not marvel that I said to you,
    'You must be born again.'
    8 (Eze 37:9; 1Co 2:11) The wind blows where it wishes,
    and you hear its sound, but you do not know where
    it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone
    who is born of the Spirit."
    9 (Jn 6:52; 6:60) Nicodemus said to Him, "How can this be?"
    10 Jesus answered him, "Are you the teacher of Israel,
    but you do not know these things?
    11 (Jn 1:18; 7:16) Truly, truly I say to you, We speak of what
    We know and bear witness of what We have seen, but you do not
    receive Our testimony.
    12 If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe,
    how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?
    13 (Pr 30:4; Jn 1:18; 6:38) No one has ascended to heaven except
    He who descended from heaven, even the Son of Man who is in heaven.
    14 (Jn 8:28) Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness,
    even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,
    15 (Jn 3:16; 3:36) that whoever believes in Him should not perish,
    but may have eternal life.
    16 (Ro 5:8; 1Jn 4:9-10; Jn 1-18) "For God so loved the world
    that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him
    should not perish, but have eternal life.
    17 (1Jn 4:14; Lk 19:10) For God did not send His Son into the world
    to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
    18 (Jn 5:24; Mk 16:16) He who believes in Him is not condemned.
    But he who does not believe is condemned already,
    because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
    19 (Jn 1:4; 8:12) This is the verdict, that light has come into the world,
    and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
    20 For everyone who does evil hates the light and does not
    come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.
    21 (1Jn 1:6; Ps 139:23-24) But he who does the truth comes to the light,
    that it may be revealed that his deeds have been done in God."

    [1] There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
    [2] The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that
    thou doest, except God be with him.
    [3] Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
    Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
    [4] Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
    [5] Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
    [6] That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
    [7] Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
    [8] The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof,
    but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one
    that is born of the Spirit.
    [9] Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
    [10] Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and
    knowest not these things?
    [11] Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
    [12] If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
    [13] And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from
    heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
    [14] And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the
    Son of man be lifted up:
    [15] That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. [16] For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
    [17] For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that
    the world through him might be saved.
    [18] He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
    [19] And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and
    men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
    [20] For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
    [21] But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be
    made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

    Jesus and John the Baptist

    22 (Jn 3:26) After these things Jesus and His disciples came
    into the land of Judea. He remained with them there and baptized.
    23 John also was baptizing in Aenon toward Salim, because much water
    was there. And people came and were baptized.
    24 (Mt 4:12; 14:3) For John had not yet been put in prison.
    25 (Jn 2:6) Then a dispute arose between some of John's disciples
    and the Jews about ceremonial cleansing.
    26 (Jn 1:7; 12:19) They came to John and said to him,
    "Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you bore witness,
    look, He is baptising, and everyone is going to Him."
    27 (1Co 4:7; Jas 1:17) John answered, "A man can receive nothing
    unless it has been given to him from heaven.
    28 (Jn 1:20; 1:23) You yourselves bear witness of me, that I said,
    'I am not the Christ,' but 'I have been sent before Him.'
    29 (Mt 9:15; SS 5:1) He who has the bride is the bridegroom.
    But the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him,
    rejoices greatly at the bridegroom's voice. Therefore this joy of mine
    is fulfilled.
    30 He must increase, but I must decrease."

    [22] After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of
    Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.
    [23] And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was
    much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
    [24] For John was not yet cast into prison.
    [25] Then there arose a question between some of John's disciples and the
    Jews about purifying.
    [26] And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with
    thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same
    baptizeth, and all men come to him.
    [27] John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given
    him from heaven.
    [28] Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but
    that I am sent before him.
    [29] He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of
    the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
    [30] He must increase, but I must decrease.

    He Who Comes From Heaven

    31 (Jn 8:23; Mt 28:18; Jn 6:33) He who comes from above is above all.
    He who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of the earth.
    He who comes from heaven is above all.
    32 (Jn 3:11; 1:11; 8:26) He bears witness of what He has seen and heard,
    yet no one receives His testimony.
    33 He who has received His testimony has certified that God is true.
    34 (Jn 3:17; Lk 4:18) For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God,
    for God gives the Spirit without measure to Him.
    35 (Mt 28:18; Jn 5:20) The Father loves the Son, and has placed all things
    into His hand.
    36 (Jn 5:24; 3:15-16) He who believes in the Son has eternal life.
    He who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.

    [31] He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all. [32] And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man
    receiveth his testimony.
    [33] He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is
    true.
    [34] For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.
    [35] The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
    [36] He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that
    believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on
    him.

    John 4

    Jesus and the Samaritan Woman

    1 (Jn 3:22; 3:26) Now when the Lord learned that the Pharisees
    had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John
    2 (though Jesus Himself did not baptize, but His disciples),
    3 He left Judea and departed again to Galilee.
    4 Now it was necessary that He go through Samaria.
    5 (Ge 33:19; 48:22) So He came to a city of Samaria which is called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
    6 (Mt 4:2; 8:24) Jacob's well was there. Jesus, therefore, being exhausted
    from His journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
    7 A woman of Samaria came there to draw water.
    Jesus said to her, "Give Me a drink."
    8 For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
    9 (Jn 8:48; Mt 10:5) Then the woman of Samaria said to Him,
    "How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a woman of Samaria?"
    For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.
    10 (Jer 2:13; Jn 4:14) Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God,
    and who it is who is saying to you, 'Give Me a drink,'
    you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water."
    11 The woman said to Him, "Sir, You have nothing to draw with,
    and the well is deep. Where then do You get that living water?
    12 (Jn 8:53) Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well
    and drank from it himself, along with his sons and his livestock?"
    13 Jesus said to her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,
    14 (Jn 6:35; Isa 49:10) but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give
    him will never thirst. Indeed, the water that I shall give him will become
    in him a well of water springing up into eternal life."
    15 (Jn 6:34) The woman said to Him, "Sir, give me this water, so that
    I will not thirst, nor come here to draw."
    16 Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come here."
    17 The woman answered, "I have no husband."
    Jesus said to her, "You are right in saying, 'I have no husband,'
    18 for you have had five husbands, and he whom you now have
    is not your husband. So you have spoken truthfully."
    19 (Lk 7:16; 7:39) The woman said to Him, "Sir, I perceive
    that You are a prophet.
    20 (Ge 12:6-7; Dt 11:29) Our fathers worshipped on this mountain,
    but you all say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship."
    21 (Mal 1:11; 1Ti 2:8) Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe Me,
    the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor
    in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.
    22 (Isa 2:3; Ro 9:4-5) You worship what you do not know; we know
    what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews.
    23 (Php 3:3; Jn 5:25) Yet the hour is coming, and is now here,
    when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth.
    For the Father seeks such to worship Him.
    24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship Him
    in spirit and truth."
    25 (Jn 4:29) The woman said to Him, rCL"I know that Messiah is coming"
    (who is called Christ). "When He comes, He will tell us all things."
    26 Jesus said to her, "I who speak to you am He."
    27 (Lk 7:39; Jn 4:8-9) Then His disciples came. They marveled that He talked with a woman. Yet no one said, "What do You seek?"
    or, "Why are You talking with her?"
    28 The woman then left her water pot, went her way into the city,
    and said to the men,
    29 (Jn 4:17-18; 4:25) "Come, see a Man who told me all things that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?"
    30 They went out of the city and came to Him.
    31 Meanwhile His disciples urged Him, saying, "Rabbi, eat."
    32 (Job 23:12)But He said to them,
    "I have food to eat of which you do not know."
    33 Therefore the disciples said one to another,
    "Has anyone brought Him anything to eat?"
    34 (Jn 6:38; 17:4) Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of Him
    who sent Me, and to finish His work.
    35 (Mt 9:37-38; Jn 4:30) Do you not say, 'There are yet four months,
    and then comes the harvest'? Listen! I say to you, lift up your eyes
    and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest.
    36 (Ro 1:13) He who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit that leads
    to eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. 37 (Mic 6:15; Job 31:8) For in this is the saying true, 'One sows,
    and another reaps.'
    38 (Ac 8:14-17) I sent you to reap a crop for which you did not labor.
    And you have benefited from their labor."
    39 (Jn 4:29; 4:5) Many of the Samaritans of that city believed in Him
    because of the word of the woman who testified,
    "He told me all that I ever did."
    40 So when the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him to remain with them.
    And He stayed there two days.
    41 And many more believed because of His word.
    42 (1Jn 4:14; Jn 1:29; 2Co 5:19) They said to the woman, "Now we believe,
    not because of what you said, for we have heard for ourselves
    and know that this Man is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world."

    [1] When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
    [2] (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)
    [3] He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
    [4] And he must needs go through Samaria.
    [5] Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
    [6] Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.
    [7] There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her,
    Give me to drink.
    [8] (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)
    [9] Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a
    Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
    [10] Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and
    who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
    [11] The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?
    [12] Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and
    drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
    [13] Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water
    shall thirst again:
    [14] But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
    [15] The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.
    [16] Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
    [17] The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her,
    Thou hast well said, I have no husband:
    [18] For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.
    [19] The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
    [20] Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem
    is the place where men ought to worship.
    [21] Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
    [22] Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is
    of the Jews.
    [23] But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall
    worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
    [24] God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit
    and in truth.
    [25] The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
    [26] Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.
    [27] And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?
    [28] The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,
    [29] Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this
    the Christ?
    [30] Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.
    [31] In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.
    [32] But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.
    [33] Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?
    [34] Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me,
    and to finish his work.
    [35] Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold,
    I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are
    white already to harvest.
    [36] And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. [37] And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
    [38] I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men
    laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.
    [39] And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying
    of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.
    [40] So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he
    would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.
    [41] And many more believed because of his own word;
    [42] And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for
    we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.

    The Healing of the Nobleman's Son

    Mt 8:5-13; Lk 7:1-10

    43 (Jn 4:40) After the two days He departed from there and went to Galilee.
    44 (Mt 13:57; Lk 4:24) For Jesus Himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
    45 (Jn 2:23; 3:2) Then, when He came to Galilee, the Galileans welcomed Him, having seen all the things He did at Jerusalem at the feast.
    For they had also gone to the feast.

    [43] Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.
    [44] For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.
    [45] Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also
    went unto the feast.

    Ephesians 2:1-10

    From Death to Life

    1 (Col 2:13; Lk 15:24) And you were dead in your trespasses and sins,
    2 (Jn 12:31; Eph 6:12; 2:3) in which you formerly walked according
    to the age of this world and according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience,
    3 (Gal 2:15-16; Ps 51:5) among them we all also once lived in the lusts
    of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind,
    and we were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.
    4 (Ro 2:4; Eph 1:7) But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,
    5 (Eph 2:1; Ac 15:11; Eph 2:8) even when we were dead in sins, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),
    6 (Eph 1:3) and He raised us up and seated us together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
    7 (Titus 3:4; Eph 2:4) so that in the coming ages He might show
    the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
    8 (Eph 2:5; Mk 16:16) For by grace you have been saved through faith,
    and this is not of yourselves. It is the gift of God,
    9 (2Ti 1:9; Ro 3:20) not of works, so that no one should boast.
    10 (Eph 4:24; 2Co 5:17; Eph 1:4) For we are His workmanship, created
    in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand,
    so that we should walk in them.

    [1] And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
    [2] Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh
    in the children of disobedience:
    [3] Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts
    of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were
    by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
    [4] But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, [5] Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ,
    (by grace ye are saved; )
    [6] And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly
    places in Christ Jesus:
    [7] That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace
    in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
    [8] For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it
    is the gift of God:
    [9] Not of works, lest any man should boast.
    [10] For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works,
    which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

    A French sailor, along with his cat, was sailing from Dutch Harbor - located
    on an island south of Alaska - to San Diego, California, when his yacht was capsized by a huge wave. The vessel righted itself, but the mariner lost his rudder and rigging to the violent swells. He reported his dire situation to the Coast Guard, saying he was stranded, had no control, and his boat was "pretty much dead in the water." Eventually the Coast Guard contacted an oil drilling ship nearby, and they came to the sailor;s rescue. However, he still had to make a literal leap of faith - with his cat tucked under
    his jacket - from his boat to the rescue vessel.

    In Ephesians 2, Paul described the sinful and hopeless condition
    of humanity - dead in the water spiritually and separated from God (v. 1). Moreover, we were disobedient to all that He desires (v. 2) and
    depraved - unable to do anything to merit salvation (v. 3). But "by grace," Jesus made it possible for us to be "saved, through faith,"
    and this salvation is a "gift of God" (v. 8).

    We were all stranded in the raging seas of sin and death,
    but praise God that we have a Saviour who made it possible for us to leap into His saving arms by faith. Christ alone can rescue us and carry us to safety.

    Reflect & Pray

    What is the means of the rescue Jesus has made possible?
    How are faith in Him and the salvation He's made possible linked?

    Dear Jesus, Your mercy and grace led me
    to - by faith - leap into Your saving arms.

    3) From The Billy Graham Evangelical Ministry Association

    Words in Season - Scripture Memory Tools

    Week 3 - Saved Now and Forever - Day 3 - Inseparable From God's Love

    Romans 8:38-39

    38 (Eph 1:21; 1Pe 3:22) For I am persuaded that neither death nor life,
    neither angels nor principalities nor powers, neither things present
    nor things to come,
    39 (Ro 5:8) neither height nor depth, nor any other created thing,
    shall be able to separate us from the love of God,
    which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

    [38] For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
    [39] Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to
    separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

    Separation is a fact of human life. Relationships disintegrate,
    children grow up, loved ones die, husbands and wives divorce,
    friends changes and drift apart. We may resist change and separation,
    but we must deal with them nevertheless.
    Separation sometimes is a natural result of growth and development;
    sometimes it is a violent, cataclysmic shaking of an individual's life.
    2 lifelong friends go separate ways to college or into future careers;
    a church splits over doctrinal differences; a wife finds out a hidden
    secret in her husband's past.
    But with God, there is no separation, no death, no breaking of vows,
    no growing beyond the relationship. Nothing, says Paul, can separate
    us from the love of God. A skeleton in my closet, once revealed, may
    cost me the trust of those I thought were my friends. But God knows
    all my past, all my sin; he forgives, and it cannot separate me from him.
    My present personal struggles may cause trouble in my job and result in
    the loss of that income, but God understands what I'm going through,
    and even when I'm angry at him, he can take it without drawing away
    or striking back. My present problems cannot separate me from the Lord.
    And God knows, too, the plan he has established for my future. I cannot
    walk away from him, grow beyond my need for him, or outrun him into
    tomorrow.
    She may separate me from my awareness of God's presence in my life,
    but it cannot set me beyond his reach. There is no power that is greater
    than God's love, and no place I can go that will separate me
    from that love.

    Application

    a) Have I ever felt separated from the love of God? Under what circumstances?

    b) How can today's verse free me from anxiety about the past,
    the present or the future?

    4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland

    2 Cor 9:6

    6 But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly,
    and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

    6 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly;
    and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.

    5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:

    When you are Worried Over Money

    1 Tim 6:6-10

    6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
    7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain
    that we can carry nothing out.
    8 If we have food and clothing, we shall be content with these things.
    9 But those who desire
    to be rich fall into temptation and a snare and into many foolish
    and harmful lusts, which drown men in ruin and destruction.
    10 For the love of money is the root of all evil.
    While coveting after money, some have strayed from the faith
    and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
    He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.

    6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
    7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain
    we can carry nothing out.
    8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
    9 But they that will
    be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish
    and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
    10 For the love of money is the root of all evil:
    which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith,
    and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

    Remember God's promises when You pray

    The Lord's prayer

    Matthew 6:9-13

    9 "Therefore pray in this manner:
    Our Father who is in heaven,
    hallowed be Your name.
    10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;
    Your will be done
    on earth, as it is in heaven.
    11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.
    12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,
    as we forgive our debtors.
    13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,
    but deliver us from evil.
    For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."

    9 After this manner therefore pray ye:
    Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
    10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
    11 Give us this day our daily bread.
    12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
    13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
    For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

    6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)

    Prince Edward Island

    Total population 146300
    Muslim population (est.) 1127

    Charlottetown does not currently (fall 2014) have a local CNMM network.
    Pray with us for God's people to come together in reaching Muslims cooperatively across denominational and organisational lines.

    More than 200 attended the Eid festival at the end of Ramadan, the Islamic month of fasting during daylight hours and the reading of the Qur'an, at
    the Dar as-Salam mosque in 2014. This second mosque established
    in Charlottetown, the other being the Muslims Association of PEI.
    As of mid-2014,there are between 250 to 300 families, mostly in Charlottetown.

    The Muslims of Charlottetown see their community as symbolically important
    for this nation since this is known as the "birthplace of Canada". Yet we were established as the "Dominion of Canada" with an appeal not only to
    monarchial authority, but even more to God's higher Biblical authority as
    shown in Psalm 72:8, "May he have dominion from sea to sea,
    and from the River to the ends of the earth."
    Let us intercede together for:

    - the growing Muslim population of Charlottetown and spreading
    outward through PEI to encounter the Prince of Peace.
    - believers to have faith and vision to reach out to the Muslim Community
    in contextual ways to share the Gospel
    - churches and ministries to rise up in wisdom, knowledge and understanding, giving and training, coaching and encouragement to believers reaching
    out to Muslims locally.
    - a prayer movement to be established, feeding a growing move of Yahweh's Spirit in His churches and people , and an awakening an openness
    and spiritual hunger in Muslims for relationship with the Father
    through the Son.

    Adding further

    30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020

    Under the Keep Praying page

    When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and, of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be decorated and festivals will be held.
    For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of Islam.
    You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
    which means Blessed Eid!"
    Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you know, and Muslims around the world:
    - Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.

    Acts 2:12-17 : 17 12 They were all amazed and perplexed, saying to each other, "What does this mean?"
    13 (1Co 14:23) Others mocking said, "These men are full of new wine."

    Peter's Speech at Pentecost

    14 (Ac 1:26) But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice
    and said to them, "Men of Judea and all you who dwell in Jerusalem,
    let this be known to you, and listen to my words.
    15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose,
    since it is the third hour of the day.
    16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
    17 (Isa 44:3; Ac 10:45) 'In the last days it shall be,' says God,
    'that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
    your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
    your young men shall see visions,
    and your old men shall dream dreams.'

    - Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective discipleship movements among Muslim people.

    - Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.

    Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under
    a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the house."

    Ideas for prayer

    - Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you
    - Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving Christ among Muslim people -

    Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."
    - When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!

    My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity

    (Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, atheists, secular humanists, ...)
