DAY 16: BREAKING THROUGH THE SPIRITUAL ATTACKS
The enemy is hard after ripping down anything and everything God has been doing in us these past weeks. Let us remember why we are doing this fast to begin with:
1) To draw closer to the Lord
2) To sacrifice worldly desires for Heavenly desires
There are many other things we are praying for (family, facility, etc) but our sole desire is to draw near to Him! The enemy HATES that. We have made up our minds to give the Lord our first fruits of this year and will finish STRONG! It is okay if you have made some mistakes during this fast, don't let the enemy trick you. We have 4.5 days left, keep your eyes fixed on Jesus!
God will use everything the enemy throws at us as fuel for the FIRE. He is refining and removing the impurities! I just want to take a moment to think about His goodness these past weeks.
He has been loving and gracious. He has been with us individually and as a body. We have seen:
-People get baptized in the Holy Spirit.
-Gifts received and stirred.
-Boldness to witness.
-Healing/Deliverance.
-Joy burst forth.
-Youth set on fire and then used to do spiritual battle.
-People touched powerfully by God.
-The equipping of the saints.
PRAYER FOCUS: Let us give glory to the Lord and for the rest of our fast (and beyond) I would like us to be intentional in our prayer time in showing our humble amazement and utter gratitude for and to our King, the King of GLORY!
SCRIPTURE FOCUS: JAMES 1:17
