Prayer and Fasting Day 3
Here we are three days into the season of prayer and fasting. Day 1, I like to call this day “sticker shock.” That day was like the feeling you get after you buy a new car. You are caught up in the excitement and then after you own it you realize how much you paid or how much you will pay for 21 days. Day 2, rejoicing in the time you spent in prayer during day 1 with your wife and children. Day 3, first report of a breakthrough comes in from a family in the church. Hallelujah!!
Remember as we read in Ephesians 6:12, “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in
the heavenly realms.” Also, as we read in 2 Corinthians 4:17-18, “For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.”
Let me encourage you keep fasting and praying. Maybe you haven’t started yet you can jump in right now. Just fast a meal and pray. Take the list from our family here in the church and lift them before the Lord. Or just cry out to him for more of his presence in your life and all our lives.
My personal prayer request from the list for today is for Bill Juba to find a good paying job. Can we all make that, along with the others, our prayer request of the day?
Remember we are all in this together for eternity.
