Fasting: Day 14
Today we are going to focus on the same verse as yesterday, just the second half of it. In 2 Chronicles 7: 14 it says, “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”
When the four conditions for revival and restoration are met then God gives us three of the following promises:
1. God will turn away his anger from His people, listen to the cry of their heart and be attentive to their prayers. The first sign of revival is that God will begin to hear and answer prayer.
2. God will forgive His people, cleanse them from their sins. He will give you favor today. He will fill you with His presence and give you peace and you can experience His power today.
3. God will heal you by pouring out rain (physical favor and blessing) and the Holy Spirit. People’s eyes will be open to who Jesus is and will turn their hearts to God.
Thank you for fasting with me. This will be the results of our fast individually and collectively. Do you want to see God heal physically and emotionally? Do you want to see him restore the broken and damaged pieces of your life and the life of others? If you do, then this is how it is accomplished. Turn your heart to Him this morning and thank Him for what He is going to do at our Breakthrough service on the 27th and what He is going to do for you this year in 2008.
Personal Word: Today I am going with the youth and a few adults and we are going to feed the homeless in Philly. We do this every month, but today is extra special. Not only are we feeding them, but we are not eating. Mike Ricchini put out the challenge for the youth to buy a Wendy’s gift card and give it to one of the homeless people, with the sandwich bags and clothes, instead of us stopping to eat afterwards. I was excited when I bought those gift cards. I am excited to see what God is going to do through these young people. Today we are not only distributing sandwiches but we are distributing Jesus Christ. I believe that God will honor this Fast and He will set free the people stuck in addictions like alcohol and drugs. He will break a curse of poverty over some of these people. We will see many turn their hearts over to Jesus Christ. Today I am exited for MORE!
Fasting Tip: Today take some time to go out of your way to do something kind for someone you ordinarily would not do something for. Let God place someone on your heart this morning in prayer. It may mean a phone call, driving over to their house, or giving someone a ride. When you focus on someone else, you become the hands and feet of Christ. You will begin to forget about your stomach and focus on building someone else up. I believe you will see God’s power activated in their life and yours.
