Day 14 - Fast 2009

We've made it 2 weeks into this fast! Thank You Jesus! We feel the anticipation of what God is about to pour out on us; we believe that, with all that is in us, something big is coming!

God has moved in so many these past 14 days. I'm certain that by the time the fast is over, we will be an awe of what God has done.

Today marks a historical day in American history; we've come far as a nation, but we've still got further to go. We, as a nation, pray for our new President, that God's spirit would fall upon him and that the decisions that he makes in the coming years would be pleasing to God.

In viewing the events today I was struck by a thought that what if all of these people were coming together to praise and worship the living God? How awesome would that be! Sometimes I wonder what God thinks about all of this; they gather together to revere a man, but would they do the same to revere God? I was at the mall this past summer for the Call-DC. Myself and many others from our congregation gathered together to pray for our nation. We cried out to God for our families and our nation. The mall wasn't filled, but we were gathered together with a common cause, to reach out to God.

"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:14

I pray that your fast is going well, be strong and continue to pursue God, He'll take you higher than you could ever think or imagine.

Be blessed and be a blessing to someone today.
