Inspiration: A prototype of this calendar was on a doctor’s desk lying open to this day’s scripture. As the patient read the scripture, she burst into tears because she felt that God was comforting her and telling her that He would always be with her. The doctor gave her the calendar since he saw that she was so blessed by it. This doctor and his wife have helped distribute this calendar so that God’s Kingdom would be advanced.

Inspiration: A man from Africa shared a story about Jesus’ protection and living by faith. As a boy, he was walking through the woods in his country one day when a boa constrictor fell down from a tree on top of him and quickly wrapped itself around his body to squeeze him to death. He was so scared all he could do was to call on the name of the Lord. As he said the word “Jesus,” the snake started to unwind itself from his body and slithered off. There was no one else around so he knew Jesus rescued him.

Inspiration: A worship leader wrote a song about Jesus giving His life for us. These lyrics revealed: Jesus being spat upon, struck in the face, mocked and crowned with thorns.

The song ends with a triumphant phrase that the tomb is empty and that Jesus has resurrected from the dead!

Inspiration: In recent days there has been more teaching on prayer and intercession as people are learning to pray in the Holy Spirit. This type of prayer is very powerful as some churches started to pray and intercede for their city to stop the gang violence and crime and to bring the power of God to their city. A drug dealer was on his way to kill someone, and as he was going by one of these churchs, he felt compelled to pull into the parking lot. He didn’t know what was overcoming him and he went inside the church while the service was on and he gave his life to Jesus. This drug dealer then confessed his sins to the police.

Inspiration: This scripture is helpful for choirs and musicians as many of them get over anxious, making sure every note is in tune and played correctly. This self centeredness makes it hard for people to spontaneously bow their knee to Jesus during worship because they are more concerned what other think than what Jesus thinks. On the other hand, I have been in a service where everyone was humbly and passionately worshipping Jesus when a glory cloud (similar to what is described in the Old Testament) appeared in the church and was seen by all. We all knew this was from God as His power was evident.
