7th Year 11-12 Edition 3 –I Sam 21 l The Feast l Oct 23_2012 I Sam 22 National Days of Prayer Day 26 of 40 Dear Saints, Today we prayerfully Feast in the book of I Samuel 22. Today we read in 1stSamuel, David at Adullam, Saul destroys the priests of Nob. God sends Abiathar another brother to to David. “20 Now one of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped and fled after David. 21 And Abiathar told David that Saul had killed the Lord’s priests. 22 So David said to Abiathar, “I knew that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul. I have caused the death of all the persons of your father’s house. 23 Stay with me; do not fear. For he who seeks my life seeks your life, but with me you shall be safe.”” I Samuel 21:12-15, New King James Version (NKJV). Like David, we need to wait on the Lord everyday. 40 Days of Prayer day 26, Prayer for our nation authored by, - Prayer for America – 14 Days to Election Day – Connection! (Devotions for Every Day Life) “Prayer for America – 14 Days to Election Day Posted: 22 Oct 2012 11:00 PM PDT “Joshua told the people, ‘Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things among you.’” –Joshua 3:5 Who of us would not like to see the Lord do amazing things in our midst? We “Joshua told the people, ‘Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things among you.’” –Joshua 3:5 Who of us would not like to see the Lord do amazing things in our midst? We certainly need that supernatural work of God in our nation today. Israel received that promise; yet, it was a conditional promise. God would do miraculous things if His people consecrated themselves. Consecration is one of those “church words” that sometimes confuses us. To consecrate is to set apart for a particular purpose. It is closely tied to the idea of being made holy. In the tabernacle and later the temple, certain items were consecrated for a special purpose. They could no longer be used in an ordinary way. That was God’s Word to the Israelites in Joshua’s day. It is also God’s Word to us today. Our nation desperately needs a consecrated church, a people set aside for the Lord’s purposes. We are the way God has chosen to communicate His will to nations. But if we are not a consecrated, holy people, the communication becomes garbled and mixed with our unholiness. Note that the Lord said that they (and we) were to consecrate themselves. This was not a passive thing, but actively required them to set themselves apart for the purposes of God. As you pray today, would you consecrate yourself, so that we might see the Lord do amazing things in our midst? Prayer Points • Repent of a lack of consecration and purpose in your life. • Commit yourself to a life of consecration for the Lord’s purposes. • Pray for a spirit of consecration and holiness to come upon the church in America. My Prayer Father, I am so grieved over my lack of consecration. I have believed and loved You, but I’ve been trying to do Your work in my own strength, and so often for my own purposes. In the name of Jesus, I consecrate myself unto Your purposes. Here I am, Lord. Use me as You will. And what I pray for myself, I pray for Your church. Lord, help us to be holy. Our nation desperately needs a holy people to speak Your Word in these days. Pour out Your Holy Spirit upon us that we might be empowered to be used by You. Lord, we need You to do amazing things in our midst. –Adapted from Desperate for Change: 40 Days of Prayer for America by David Butts” certainly need that supernatural work of God in our nation today.

We can keep the first thing first, salvation through the blood of the lamb, Jesus. ““Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” Galatians 6:2 ESV” Proverbs 15:23 NKJV. We should always keep our faith in God. The Feast Tue, October 23, 2012, I Samuel 22, – “David at Adullam, Many resort to him. (1-5) Saul destroys the priests of Nob. (6-19) Abiathar escapes to David. (20-23)” – Matthew Henry Concise Dear Saints, I am not always correct and I don’t want to influence your vote. I deviate today from our normal fromat, please do not take offense. I love you and would ask God to influence your vote. While I do not agree with everything this man believes, I do believe hi is a brother in the Lord Jesus Christ. I read this report on him and Romney and am begging you Saints to at least Pray about it and read it before you vote. look at it before you vote. As I’ve said before ask Jesus for whom you should pray and vote! Tuesday, October 23, 2012 Here’s a small quote; “At the 2011 National Prayer Breakfast, the president said, "When I wake in the morning, I wait on the Lord, and I ask Him to give me the strength to do right by our country and its people. And when I go to bed at night I wait on the Lord, and I ask Him to forgive me my sins, and look after my family and the American people, and make me an instrument of His will." He told the 2012 National Prayer Breakfast: "I wake up each morning and I say a brief prayer, and I spend a little time in scripture and devotion." Where does he go to church? As stated before, the Obamas have not formally joined another church after leaving Trinity United Church of Christ in 2008. They have visited several congregations over the years, but worship primarily at the Evergreen Chapel at Camp David. The current chaplain at Camp David, Lieut. Carey Cash, is a Southern Baptist and a very committed evangelist. Obama says that he "delivers as powerful a sermon as I’ve heard in a while. I really think he’s excellent.” Prayer Is the best choice in our life, after accepting Jesus as our Lord and savior. Each of us has our own special relationship with Jesus as well as to the Body of Christ. We each ask God for His guidance and depend on his grace.
