Message from Pastor Jim 12-28-09

I hope this message finds you doing well and enjoying the memories of a Spirit-led Christmas celebration. I can say that some of my most precious gifts were the love-filled moments spent with family and friends and encouragement from the body of Christ.

In just a few days we will begin a New Year. And many of us will start the year with a period of prayer and fasting. This is an important week to prepare your spirit, soul and body for the fast.

To prepare for our 21 day Daniel fast you should begin drinking at least eight glasses of filtered water a day begin to taper of on your calorie intake and start reducing your caffeine intake to help avoid the headaches that are the result of sudden caffeine stoppage. Fasting should be for a purpose begin to meditate on what you what to experience in the coming year in your relationship with God, in your life, in your family and in your own spirit. Offer this period of prayer and fasting to the Lord and ask the Holy Spirit to lead and direct you as you prepare for this powerful spiritual discipline.

Take steps to insure your success in your fast. Set aside a daily time of prayer, worship, meditation and study. Ask the Holy Spirit to direct you in your prayer and study. Set your life in order to insure your success.
