Psalm 63:1-5 Says "O God, You are my God; I shall seek You earnestly; My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You, In a dry and weary land where there is no water. Thus I have seen You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and Your glory. Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, My lips will praise You. So I will bless You as long as I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name. My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness, And my mouth offers praises with joyful lips.
Here David is in dire circumstances, yet he longed for the presence of God more than ever. So much so that his flesh (natural man) even longed for Him. As we fast and pray during the next 11 days I pray that you come to know God with such passion that no matter what life sends your way it will not compare to your desire to know God. To see His glory and power. I want you to know that it from this kind of relation that the Holy spirit can flow out of in extraordinary ways. I pray the your heart is so filled with His presence during this time of dedication that the the Holy Spirit will flow from you. That the world we live in will be affected by our light. That the glory of God will change our world. I know it sounds unattainable but God can and will do it through us if we humble ourselves listen to Him and obey. Remember it only took twelve men to change world.
