Message From Pastor Jim 1-17-2010

Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

This verse is an encouragement to us as we fast and pray and wait on the Lord. He promises that He will renew our strength. He will give us supernatural strength, a strength that comes from communion with Him not from food but from the "Bread of Life" Jesus Himself. I love that the verse doesn't end there, he goes on to tell us that He will do more than just sustain us He will give us the strength to soar like the eagle of the storm. We will have strength to do more than just muddle through life and its trails we will rise above them with strength, power and courage of the eagle. He will infuse us with the Holy Spirit power so that we will not have to drag ourselves though everyday life but run and not grow weary. How many of us could use that kind of strength and power? Then simply take the time to wait on God and let him renew your strength, in your body, soul, and mind. It is available for all of us we must simply wait on Him in prayer and fasting.

On our sixteenth day Remember:
Continue in prayer and meditation
Reflect on how your fast is helping you grow spiritually
Your senses become more sensitive to your surroundings and especially the voice of God
Stay the course

In His Service
Pastor Jim
