I believe that God is raising up a people in these days that are no longer satisfied with church as usual. A people who hunger and thrist for God. Psalm 42:1 says " As the deer pants for the water brooks, So my soul pants for You, O God. Jesus said in Matthew 5:6 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. As we are fasting and we feel the natural hunger, each time we feel hungry turn our attention to God and hunger and thirst for
Him. Psalm 42 speaks of an intense longing for water as if "dying of thirst" and suggest that our soul should long that way for God. If we are not cautious we can allow the things of this life to cloud our hearts and mind. We can end up just giong through the motions in life and if we are not on our gaurd uor relationship we God can suffer the same fate. As we continue on our 21 day journey determine in your heart and soul that this will be the begining of a deeper intimate relationship with God. That this year you will be one of those people who not only want to see "His kingdom come" but are willing to believe God at His word and use you as a vehicle of His grace to as Bill Johnson says "cause heaven to ivade earth. I know that seems like a lofty goal, but I know that as you humble yourself in fasting and prayer you taking the first step to allowing God in your life more that ever before. It is the kind of faith and desire that well bless the heart of God and ignite the power of the Holy Spirit in you. Keep up the good work.
On day six remember:
Concentrate on prolonged times of meditation and listening
Your senses will begin to heighten
Your body will continue detoxifacation weight loss will continue
Spend time in targeted prayer
Ask God to prepare you to be used by Him ( "let your prayer be Not my will but thine")
In His Service
