Discovering the Mystery of Who I Am in Christ
It's easy to boast in the glory of God. Not so easy to glory in suffering. Suffering is not fun at all! So, if that is the case, then why in the world would we subject ourselves to something like fasting? Well, I consider- and I bet God does too- that things like perseverance, character and hope are worth a lot more to me than fun.
"Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? Isaiah 58:6 Justice. God is a God of justice. Yet, why is there so much injustice in the world? If God is God, …

I have sensed such an overwhelming sadness today. I personally am not sad about anything for myself, yet I cried. As I prayed about it, I realized that the Lord was letting me feel the weight or gravity of the trials that many people I love are facing. There are people who are suffering from …

Even your spiritual dryness is a sign that you need a rainfall. If you feel far away- that means there is a closeness you desire. Your lack signifies your need. You were created for spiritual food. Let's pray!
There is one thing the disciples did not have at Gesthemane that we have. They did not have the indwelling Holy Spirit. They didn't have access to the power of God in their inner beings to strengthen their "inner man" for the arduous time they were walking in. Those who believe in Jesus have access to the store houses of the Spirit of God, since we are sealed with the Holy Spirit. (Ephesians 1:13-14.) We can pray that God will build us up in our inner beings that Jesus will dwell in our hearts through faith. Ephesians 3:16-17 " I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith."
This is a dream that my friend Denise was given in May- “After a day of fasting, praying and being in God's Word, the Lord gave me this vision in the middle of May. What I saw was this: An older man dressed in a gray/black suit with a white shirt was on his knees praying on his face. He was weeping and crying out to the Lord....”
Lord, today we unite with fellow Christians from many denominations and backgrounds, coming before you, asking you to help us. We humble ourselves, not only today, but every day. Hear our prayers, forgive our sins and heal our land. We have been proud and arrogant as individuals, families, churches and as a nation. You continually bless us, and we have taken your blessings for granted. You are so worthy of our love and devotion, but we have forgotten you and ignored your word. We sincerely repent of our personal and national sins. We repent of the commission of the sins to include: Photo by Kelly Sikkema on Unsplash
Proverbs 10:12 - Hatred stirs up conflict, but love covers over all wrongs. Welcome to day 7 of our 21 days of prayer and fasting. When you hear the word hate, what do you think of? I hear the word hate a lot. We use it so casually. "I hate it when it rains during quarantine." …

When I grew up in the American church, things were much, much different than they are now. When people studied Revelations they would ask, "Why isn't America in Revelation?" They couldn't imagine all the events taking place described in end times prophecy with an American presence in the world. Why? Because we underestimated the power …

Fasting is a popular word that you may hear in connection with health trends. In my social media newsfeed I can regularly expect a friend to share about the benefits of intermittent fasting to purge the body of impurities or to "reset" your biological systems. People are usually on board with anything to help strengthen …
