Intro
Sunday, November 8 2026from the Brisbane Revival Fellowship
Hello for today
Only 54 days to the year 2027
Scripture Of The Day
I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety. Psalms 4:8.Read The Bible In a Year
Jeremiah 43-45; Hebrews 5.Thoughts For The Day
All God's children are not beautiful. Most of God's children are, in fact, barely presentable.Prayer is for the religious life what original research is for science- by it we get direct contact with reality... We pray because we were made for prayer, and God draws us out by breathing himself in.
Our greatest natural resource is the minds of our children.
Motivation For The Day
Aim for success, not perfection. Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to learn new things and move forward with your life.On This Day

Personal Story Of The Day
Another snippet from Martin LutherStudying the book of Romans before his conversion, Martin Luther felt unable to find peace with God: 'My situation was that, although an impeccable monk, I stood before God as a sinner troubled in conscience, and I had no confidence that my merit would please Him.' At last he found the answer. 'I grasped that the justice of God is that righteousness by which through grace and sheer mercy God justifies us through faith'.
In short, Luther had finally understood that God forgives! Salvation is not about merit but mercy. I don't know whether Martin Luther linked speaking in tongues and the power of the Holy Spirit together (he is reported to have spoken in tongues). But he did get the sums right on forgiveness through Christ's sacrifice and God's power.
The first two verses of Psalm 65 indicate that God is to be praised, because he hears and answers prayer... the next few verses make it clear that it is about the prayer of repentance. Verses 5-8 describe God's awesome power over nature and nations, and verses 9-13 conclude with images of God's blessing. These references to fertility and abundance give people more reasons to worship, even as creation itself joins in.
Our focus is on verses 3-4. What's the human condition? We're overwhelmed by sin, unable to help ourselves. We've been defeated. What's the solution? You forgave our transgressions or 'as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them aways', (v3). As we've seen so far, God's forgiving love (forgiveness is the greatest act of love) comes to the rescue.
Since forgiveness is part of God's nature, when He forgives, we experience His blessing and rejoice in it... the day we received the Holy Spirit we saw this blessing begin... we felt his power in us... he is ever present. The psalmist used a metaphor of living in the Lord's house (Ps. 23:6; 84:14). To be forgiven means to be loved, means to be chosen. We who have been chosen by God, join His family. He's personally present in our lives, filling us with good things.

To be filled means to be saturated, that is, fully satisfied. Filled with the fullness of the power of the Holy Ghost. The same fullness which Jesus experienced and used.
Don't imagine these good things are merely material blessings. 'Of your house 'means they are heavenly or Godly. The greatest pleasure of God's house is fellowship with God Himself (Ps. 36:89). Equality with all that God has and owns. Then we share these blessings with each other.

Jokes Of The Day
Ridiculous but TrueAdmitting his 0-4 record is not impressive "on paper," trainers announced that Lucky, a German shepherd guide dog for the blind in Wuppertal, Germany, is available for his fifth owner. Lucky led his first owner in front of a bus, killing him. Then he led the second off the end of a pier, drowning him. He nudged his third owner off a railway platform in front of an express train, killing him. And he walked his fourth owner into heavy traffic, abandoning him to be hit and killed. The new owner won't be told of Lucky's record -- the trainers say the dog might sense nervousness "and do something silly."

Men Can Never Win
If you work too hard, you're not spending enough time with her. If you don't work hard enough, you're a good-for-nothing bum.
If she has a boring repetitive job with low pay, it's exploitation. If you have a boring repetitive job with low pay, you should get off your butt and find something better.
If you get a promotion ahead of her, it's favoritism. If she gets a job ahead of you, it's equal opportunity.
If you mention how nice she looks, it's sexual harassment. If you keep quiet, it's male indifference.
If you cry, you're a wimp. If you don't, you're insensitive.
If you make a decision without consulting her, you're a chauvinist. If she makes a decision without consulting you, she's a liberated woman.
If you ask her to do something she doesn't enjoy, that's domination. If she asks you, it's a favor.
If you try to keep yourself in shape, you're vain. If you don't, you're a slob.
If you buy her flowers, you're after something. If you don't, you're not thoughtful.
If you're proud of your achievements, you're an egotist. If you're not, you're not ambitious.
************************************
The worried housewife sprang to the telephone when it rang and listened with relief to
the kindly voice in her ear. "How are you, darling?" she said. "What kind of a day are you having?"
"Oh, mother," said the housewife, breaking into bitter tears, "I've had such a bad day.
The baby won't eat and the washing machine broke down. I haven't had a chance to go shopping,
and besides, I've just sprained my ankle and I have to hobble around. On top of that,
the house is a mess and I'm supposed to have two couples to dinner tonight."
The mother was shocked and was at once all sympathy. "Oh, darling," she said,
"sit down, relax, and close your eyes. I'll be over in half an hour.
I'll do your shopping, clean up the house, and cook your dinner for you.
I'll feed the baby and I'll call a repairman I know who'll be at your house to
fix the washing machine promptly. Now stop crying. I'll do everything.
In fact, I'll even call George at the office and tell him he ought to come home
and help out for once."
"George?" said the housewife. "Who's George?"
"Why, George! Your husband!....Is this 223-1374?
"No, this is 223-1375."
"Oh, I'm sorry. I guess I have the wrong number."
There was a short pause and the housewife said, "Does this mean you're not coming over?"

Riddle Of The Day
Paul: what room has no walls, no ceiling and no floor?Answer to Yesterdays Riddle
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.

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
The Word of KnowledgeFor to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit. 1 Corinthians 12:8.
This gift of the Spirit often, yet not always, functions together with the gift of prophecy (both foretelling and forthtelling), just as sugar goes with coffee. It is a supernaturally inspired insight of the knowledge of God's ways. It does not include all knowledge but fragments of knowledge as required.
When Ananias was sent to Saul, he learned that Saul was at the house of Judas on Straight Street. 'So the Lord said to him, Arise and go to the street called Straight, and inquire at the house of Judas for one called Saul of Tarsus, for behold, he is praying' (Acts 9:11). Through the Holy Spirit Ananias received sufficient knowledge to do the right thing.
The key to all the gifts of the Spirit is through the revelation of God. In 1 Corinthians 12:7 it says, 'But the manifestation (revelation) of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit withall.' The first of these manifestations is speaking in tongues when we receive the Holy Spirit... God's chosen sign.
God's knowledge is not ordinary, academic or learned knowledge or general human experience. It is information, revealed by the Spirit that we otherwise would not know about. Knowledge has to do with facts. Knowledge is a fragment of facts that the Spirit reveals supernaturally to explain or disclose something in order to deal with a particular issue.

Knowledge has to do with facts. Knowledge is a fragment of facts that the Spirit reveals supernaturally to explain or disclose something in order to deal with a particular issue.
These supernatural revelations are able to be accrued and drawn upon at various times. God has directed us to compare spiritual things with spiritual... in other words, we are directed to qualify what we believe to be spiritual facts, by comparing them with other scriptures (facts)... thus making sure that the gift of knowledge is not being corrupted by human impressions or man-made rules... this refining should be a lifetime process!
If more Christians willingly received and delivered God's knowledge, it would not be perceived as strange or over-emphasized. It would be considered normal for all believers to rely more upon the bible rather than church creeds and doctrines. One thing is certain about God's knowledge... facts are facts whether we accept them or reject them... the truth cannot be altered. God's judgements are based on these facts... life or death are their reward.
