Intro
Saturday, November 7 2026from the Brisbane Revival Fellowship
Good morning and welcome to a brand new day
Only 55 days to the year 2027
Scripture Of The Day
The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.Psalms 6:9
Read The Bible In a Year
Jeremiah 40-42 ; Hebrews 4Thoughts For The Day
God answers prayers because he has promised he would, not because you make promises to him.It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err.
The world is full of willing people, some willing to work, the rest willing to let them.

Lord, with Your help I will focus on each small step of the climb, instead of the mountain that stands before me.On This Day

Personal Story Of The Day
Forgiveness Is A God Given TraitIn 1972, the missionary aviation organization JAARS suffered its first fatal accident. Seven people died, including the pilot, when their twin-engine Piper Aztec crashed in the jungles of Papua New Guinea. The reason? A single nut had not been properly tightened during a routine inspection, and the resulting spray of gasoline caused a fire.
The experienced mechanic at fault was overwhelmed by guilt: 'The sight of those caskets lined up in the little open-sided tropical church hit me like a blow to the stomach... How could I face my friends? How could I face myself? I was overwhelmed with guilt. I was a failure.'
Fortunately, the families of those who had died extended forgiveness to their brother, and slowly the pain healed. He later said: 'Except for God's grace I'd be somewhere cowering in a corner in guilt-ridden despair--the eighth fatality of the Aztec crash... Praise God, it isn't so!' That JAARS mechanic experienced true forgiveness... the blessing of God's lovingkindness being demonstrated from one person to another. The joy we feel upon being forgiven is a direct result of His goodness towards us. What could be better?
Psalm 86 begins with a prayer for help. David desperately needed God's power and mercy. He didn't ask based on his merit or his position as king, but based on who God is: 'forgiving' (or ready to forgive), 'good, and plenteous in mercy' (v5). Good carries the idea that he will graciously give us, something to cheer us, delight us, and work to our benefit. Forgiveness does all this! Forgiveness is at the heart of our relationship with God.

Ever since the Fall, humans have been sinning and repenting, and God has been redeeming, forgiving, and restoring. Such mercy and grace best show His character (v13,15). In response to these truths, David proclaimed God's greatness and His worthiness to be worshiped as well as our responsibility to obey and promote Him.
In our response to these truths, we might pray as David prayed elsewhere: 'Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness sake, O LORD.' (Ps. 25:7). Do you think you've done something unforgivable? Surely God could never forgive me. After all, what I did was so horrible... Such thoughts are nothing more than a lie of Satan... he wants you to believe that God's love is less than it is... that you are worth nothing... or your weaker brother is less than you (just another form of self righteousness).
What does the Word say? 'Even now, declares the Lord, return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning... Return to the Lord your God, for He is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love' (Joel 2:12-13). Accept God's goodness and thank Him for His kindness toward you.

Jokes Of The Day
A squad of American soldiers was patrolling along the Iraqi border. To their surprise, they found the badly mangled dead body of an Iraqi soldier in a ditch along the road.A short distance up the road, they found a badly mangled American soldier in a ditch on the other side of the road, who was still barely alive. They ran to him, cradled his blood-covered head and asked him what had happened.
"Well," he whispered, "I was walking down this road, armed to the teeth. I came across this heavily armed Iraqi border guard. I looked him right in the eye and shouted, "Saddam Hussein is an unprincipled, lying piece of trash!" He looked me right in the eye and shouted back, "Bill Clinton is an unprincipled, lying piece of trash too!"
"We were standing there shaking hands when the truck hit us."

There was a young Irishman who volunteered for military service during World War II. He had such a high aptitude for aviation that he was sent right to Flight Centre skipping boot camp.
The very first day at Flight he solos and is the best flier on the base. All they could do was give him his gold wings and assign him immediately to an aircraft carrier in the Pacific.
On his first day aboard he took off and single-handedly shot down 6 Japanese Zeroes. Then climbing up to 20,000 ft., he found 9 more Japanese planes and shot them all down, too. Noting that his fuel was getting low, he descended, circled the carrier and came in for a perfect landing on the deck. He threw back the canopy, climbed out and jogged over to the captain.
Saluting smartly he said, "Well sir, how did I do on my very first day?"
The captain turned around, bowed, and replied, "You make one velly impoltant mistake!"

Mobiles VS. THE BIBLE
I wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our mobiles?
-What if we carried it around in our handbags or pockets?
-What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?
-What if we flipped through it several times a day?
-What if we used it to receive messages from the text?
-What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?
-What if we gave it to kids as gifts?
-What if we used it as we travelled?
-What if we bought new ones, just to be proud of what it looked like?
-What if we used it in case of an emergency?
-What if we got it out to show off to someone our skill in knowing how to use it?
-What if we groaned when we dropped it?
-What if we always had it close for easy access?
This is something to make you go ..hmm... where is my Bible?
Oh, and one more thing....
Unlike our mobiles, we don't ever have to worry about our Bible
being disconnected, because Jesus already paid the bill!

Riddle Of The Day
This thing all things devours; Birds, beasts, trees, flowers; Gnaws irons, bites steel; Grinds hard stones to meal; Slays king, ruins town, And beats high mountain down.Answer to Yesterdays Riddle
Walk on the living, they don't even mumble, step on the dead, they mutter and grumble. What is the thing that is muttering and grumbling?
Dead leaves after they fall from a tree in Autumn
Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Bad MemoriesThe memory of our sins can rob us of the joy of our salvation. Perhaps we have said, or heard others say, "If only I could forgive myself for what I have done!" Some people become obsessed with guilt for their past sins. When Joseph made himself known to his brothers who had sold him into slavery, they were speechless and "dismayed in his presence" (Genesis 45:3).
Guilt and fear reminded them of the pain they had caused their aged father Jacob and their brother Joseph. Sensing this, Joseph immediately reassured them: "Do not... be grieved or angry with yourselves because you sold me here; for God sent me before you to preserve life" (v5).
When we have sinned and hurt others, we may find ourselves in a position similar to that of Joseph's brothers. But if we have confessed our sins, we can be assured that we have been forgiven. Nagging guilt and self-blame are not the work of the Holy Spirit.
The Bible tells us to be "renewed in the spirit of [our] mind" (Ephesians 4:23). We need to concentrate on what He has done... His atoning sacrifice on the cross for our sins... not on what we have done. Because He has forgiven our sin, we can learn to "forget" our sin and find better ways to stop sins before they occur. Pray for strength and self-discipline... these qualities will be fruitful in many other areas of life as well.
The Gift of Prophecy
And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: Acts 2:18
The gift of prophecy is given to all saved people in the new covenant era. Of all the gifts, we are encouraged to seek prophecy with the most earnest. 'Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.' (1Corinthians 14:1). Prophecy serves a very important function. It builds up, encourages and comforts the Church.

'But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort. He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.' (1 Corinthians 14:3-4).
Prophecy can speak about the future, but mostly deals with day-to-day issues. Prophecy is supernatural encouragement, inspired by the Spirit of God, spoken to all of God's people who are present. A single word from heaven can transform a person's life forever. In times of darkness and discouragement, words of inspired prophecy can give new hope. Darkness disappears, and light shines forth once again.
Inspired words can solve any number of problems. Prophecy contains words of spirit and life. The motivation or comfort instilled by the prophetic word has the power to become a reality when it is heard... inspiring faith. Prophecy is a personal greeting with a supernatural element, noted by the hearts it pricks.

The Lord has the ability to communicate in a highly personal manner by stating details and expressing things in a specific way. When things that no one apart from the Lord knows about us, are mentioned during a prophecy, we feel His compassion and love. We are inspired to go forward and build (or rebuild if necessary); blessing and growth result.
