FASTING UPDATE // DAY 14

In Psalm 42, we find this really strange phrase, “Deep calls unto deep.”  Exactly what was that all about?  While fasting, David’s hunger and thirst for God was greater than his natural desire for food.  As a result, he reached a place where he could cray out from the depths of his spirit to the depths of God, even during the roughest times of his life.  Once you experience true intimacy with God, your worship will change.   As we enter into worship during our weekend gatherings, let’s make a new commitment to give God our radical worship and praise.  Let’s hold nothing back, because God certainly doesn’t want to hold anything back from us!

Physical and Spiritual Effect:
During this point of the fast you may experience the following:
-Weight loss continues.
-Bad breath continues – if someone offers you a mint, TAKE IT!
-Cravings can be strong at times.  Believe me. I have actually been watching cooking infomercials all morning.  I can’t look away!  I almost even purchased the Express 101 Kitchen Appliance!  What?  It was only two payments of $19.95 and if you called within 2 minutes, you received a second one free!  What a deal!  As I said, “cravings can be strong at times.”

I can’t tell you how proud I am of our church family.  You have demonstrated your desire to see God move like never before in our church.  God will honor that!  There is no turning back now!

By the way, don’t forget our BURN PRAYER SEMINAR, that will be held on Saturday, January 24.  We will begin at Right Track Academy at 10:00 a.m. and will conclude by noon.  Our guest speaker is Pastor Rod Trusty.  Pastor Rod is an incredible speaker and will bring a timely and relevant message from the Lord.  Please, as your pastor, I encourage you – we all need to be at this event.  Our church must be a house of prayer!  One that is praying first, always, and continually!
