Read Amos 2 and then join us in prayer:

Our Father,

In times past, through the prophet Amos, you pronounced judgment upon the ancient nation of Moab which is now part of the modern country of Jordan. The people of that region still live in poverty and few know the truth about your Son Jesus and his Gospel of peace and healing.

Let the Good News be preached among that people in this generation and let your Spirit bring truth and salvation, healings and miracles, and signs and wonders to that modern nation.

In Times past, through the prophet Amos, you pronounced judgment upon the ancient nations of Judah and Israel.

Send your Spirit to bless the people: Christians, Jews, and Muslims, living in that territory in this generation. Sow peace, love, and unity among that diverse people in the name of Jesus Christ and replace the hatred, division, and strife. Let your Kingdom be demonstrated through signs and wonders in the midst of that land and let the poor rejoice and healing begin among that people.

In Jesus Name, Amen.

Read Amos 1 and then join us in prayer:

Our Father,

In times past you have pronounced judgment upon the ancestors of the nations and peoples who today live in Syria, Palestinian Territory, Lebanon, and Jordan. Conflict, division, hatred, war and poverty still reigns in those lands.

But in your Word you have proclaimed that in the last days your Spirit will be poured out upon all flesh (Joel 2:28-29) and you have promised that every nation and people will be blessed with the Good News of your Son Jesus and his Kingdom message of peace, healing, salvation, and eternal life (Matt, 24:14).

We ask that your Spirit would be poured out upon the people of the nations of Syria, Palestinian Territory, Lebanon, and Jordan. That they might com to know the real Jesus and his Gospel of Peace with signs and wonders, healings and miracles following. Let the Great Harvest begin in these nations.

In Jesus name Amen.

May God Bless you and yours for this new year and the beginning of a new decade.

With the new year, many want to improve their lives in 2020. One of the best ways to do that is to read the Bible daily in the new year.

Several polls taken during the last few years have unfortunately demonstrated that American Christians are somewhat illiterate when it comes to the Bible and particularly Biblical teachings. One good way to reverse the trend is to set aside time to read the good book everyday. An excellent idea is to read through the whole Bible or at least the New Testament during 2020. There are a number of good programs to help you in the process.

One of the easiest ways to get it done is to get a ‘One Year Bible’ where the whole year is divided up into daily readings usually with a selection from the New Testament, the Old Testament, and from Psalms. You can even get it in your favorite version at the book store or download an ebook version on Amazon or Barnes and Noble.

If you find that reading all of it in one year is maybe too much, then you could read just the New Testament and Psalm offerings for each day and then maybe save the Old Testament or the following year (or visa versa).

There are also a number of good plans available that allow you to use your regular Bible for the reading. Here’s a few online: The One year Bible Online, Bible Gateway

You could also get the Bible on CD or tape and listen to it on the way to work this year or download it into your iPod, iPhone or MP3: iTunes, Apps me now, YourVersion Bible App

There are lots of Bible helps available just search online.

May God Bless us all in 2020.               *Top

144 Blessed be the Lord my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:
