challenge of the day

Fasting thought

“Is this not the fast that I have chosen?… That you break every yoke.” Isaiah 58:6

God promises that fasting can break self-destructive habits.  We are not born with mental or emotional habits. They are acquired as we grow.  A habit is defined as a behavior pattern formed by frequent repetition and can be reflected in regular or increased performance. Life is a choice, choose to overcome negative behavior patterns.  If you struggle with depression fast from the negative thoughts and activities that take you to a dark place.  You can do this not overnight but one day at a time.  You can begin to thank God for a renewed mind, life, light, and laughter.

Prayer – Talking to God

Use Isaiah 58:6-9 as your prayer pattern for the day.  Take each verse and pray as you’re led.

Bible Reading – God Talking to us

Acts read the whole book today.  I know this is a little much so do what you can but reading entire books in the Bible in one setting or within a day can refresh your spirit. This will take a solid hour. Again just do what you can.

Memory Verse – Remembering what God said

Go back over the last two weeks and write down the memory verses on a piece of paper and slip them in your Bible.  Read over them before you pray.  In time you will have hidden them in your heart.

“Your Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” Psalm 119:105

Action Idea – Doing what God said

Write down some of your friends or family members names that you know are not right with God. Commit to target them in prayer this year.  Your prayers will reach them before anything else.

Corporate Moment – Doing what God says together

I would like to end the fast with corporate prayer.  I have something special in mind that I’ll explain over the week.  It’s on saturday at 10a, we are going to have a major time of prayer.  I want everyone that can to be there.
