Day 19 - Fast 2009

Can you believe it? We are so close to the finish line; finish strong and stay on track! And if you slip up, determine yourself to get back on, ask God's forgiveness and finish the last few days strong!

Today's service was awesome! We entered into a powerful presence of the Holy Spirit! The song that we were singing this morning, "I Call Your Name", was from a CD that was actually birthed out of a 21 day fast. It's a powerful song, the CD is Moving Forward from Free Chapel and Jentezen Franklin. Last year I bought the CD for my brother and encouraged him to do a fast, he was trying to get some focus on a ministry that he was in and I challenged him to do a fast and seek the Lord. I recently talked to him and was pleased to hear that his church recently moved into a larger building; they too are believing for increase to reach the lost in their area.

Fasting with a purpose, it's an awesome feeling. And if you don't quite know what direction to ask for don't be discouraged, ask God to help you find that direction. We just have to trust God, He knows the plan for our life; we just have to willingly accept that God is in control. Let Him drive the wheel and you sit back and enjoy the ride. Let Him lead you to places you've only dreamed of; He'll pour out blessings that we can't contain, trust Him, obey His commands, He will bless you beyond measure. It's a peaceful feeling to know that God is in control and our steps are ordered by Him.

I pray that your fast is going well today. Be steadfast and finish strong!

Be blessed and be a blessing to someone today.
