Today is Week 2 day 2 of our 21 Day Fast, January 16, 2024.  Today’s society is inundated with the vocal minority taking over the airways of the major news outlets. They have gone against tried and true historical beliefs that have been foundational for thousands of years. Isaiah prophesied about them. Isaiah 5:20-21 (ESV) 20 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for ligh...  Read More

Today is day 7 of our 21 Day Fast, January 14, 2024. I want to continue with the creation account and glean from day seven. Genesis 2:2-3 (NIV) 2 By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. 3 And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.This was differe...  Read More

Today is day 5 of our 21 Day Fast, January 12, 2024. I believe God is about to do something amazing! As we’re fasting and praying we must always fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith. It’s easy to get distracted and fall back into old habits or even complacency, but we’re in a new day and we’re seeking the Lord for what he wants to accomplish in us and through us.

Today is day 4 of our 21 Day Fast, January 11, 2024. I had someone tell me years ago that he believed that fasting was a way to get God to do what we wanted him to do for us. I whole heartedly disagreed! Fasting is not a bargaining chip. It is one of the ways we open our hearts to hear what he wants to tell us. God calls fasting humbling ourselves. We’re letting go of our agendas and waiting on th...  Read More

Today is day 1 of our 21 Day Fast, January 8, 2024. “Fasting is the biblical practice of abstaining from something as a spiritual discipline meant to help us focus on spiritual matters.” Usually this is done with food, but can be anything that accomplishes an awareness of self-deprivation. It’s not meant to be easy, but rather to awaken the consciousness of our need for the presence of God in our ...  Read More
