The Shimei Lesson - Friday Praise & Pray (for others) April 25, 2025
Moses said, Do not blaspheme God or curse the ruler of your people (Exodus 22:28). This instruction is in both the Old and New Testament (Acts 23:5). It is crucial to be aware of this word, especially in the current political climate, where events seem designed to trigger emotions and stress. And while many may think this scripture applies solely to using coarse or foul language against leaders, the interaction between Shimei, David, and Solomon illustrates that this is not true. We must be careful how we speak to and about those in authority because God is watching and we can't hide what we say and think from Him.
When King David temporarily lost his throne to his son, Absalom, Shimei, a kinsman of Israel's first king, Saul, threw rocks at him. He accused David of killing Saul and his sons, saying, "You have come to ruin because you are a…

Starve satan - Tuesday Praise & Pray (for others) April 22, 2025
Have you ever met someone who loves attention and demands it constantly? Everything they do is to force all eyes onto them. To the extent that they will often do silly things, all because they need everyone to focus on them. What do you do with such people? I've learned to give them as little 'oxygen' as they desire. I've learned that the less they can count on me for their 'supply', the more they avoid me. When that happens, all parties are content.
To some extent, we need to apply the same approach to satan. We need to learn to starve it of what it desires from us. This begs the question: What does satan want from believers? We've previously discussed that the enemy wants people to think God is a liar, and it strives to use God's children to make this point. It does this to steal, kill, and…

CLOSING PRAYER
Glory be to God in the highest! He has brought us to the end of another day of Praise & Pray (for others).
Heavenly Father, thank You for this privilege of obeying your instructions to worship and intercede. We see that these are important parts of Your ministry and we are honored to play a small part in it. Hallelujah to You Mighty King for this blessing.
Father, I call on You to kindly show favor on all those who have participated in today's fellowship. I go further to call on You to extend that favor to all who have ever participated. Lord, let's go even further and call for an extension of your blessed favor upon these individuals and their loved ones - those You have put in their lives to be blessed by them. 2 Peter 1:2 - Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. This is my prayer for them and all who belong to them, IJMN, Amen.
Keep The Testimony Quiet Until - Friday Praise & Pray (for others) April 18. 2025
Did you ever wonder why Jesus would perform miracles and then tell people not to share their testimony with others? Why would He want those who experienced God's great grace to keep quiet about it? How many of us would obey if told to say nothing about a great encounter with Him?
Let us consider a few instances of this. In Mark 7, a group brought a man who was deaf and dumb. Jesus said, "Ephphatha!" and he was healed. Then, Jesus commanded those present not to tell anyone (Mark 7:36). He even told Jairus and his wife not to reveal what He did for their daughter (Luke 8:56). He did the same with a group of blind men in Matthew 9, healing their sight only to tell them, "See that no one knows about this" (Matthew 9:30).
Most couldn't keep quiet. Matthew 9:31 - But when they had departed,…

Dear Lord, I thank You. You who created the heavens, the seas, the earth, and everything in them. Glory be to Your wonderful and holy name!
Thank You for bringing Your children together for Your purpose this day. Thank You for the grace and privilege this constituted. You are worthy of all our praise!
Lord, I place each of today's participants before You for Your favor, grace, mercy, and protection to rest upon them. As they go on to continue their day, cover them under the shadow of Your marvelous hand. May they experience and witness Your power and might. May they welcome and accept with ease Your blessings and provisions. May they rejoice in You for the sweetness You place on their tongues. Thank You for hearing and answering not just this petition but those lifted during fellowship to You. Be Thou glorified forever. IJMN, Amen!
