31 days of fasting: Day 18

31 DAYS OF PRAYER & FASTING 

DAY 18 OF PRAYER & FASTING: 

SCRIPTURE:  

Ephesians 3:21

New Living Translation

Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.

PRAYER STARTER: 

Father God, I thank you, for keeping us all year. The New Year can often bring a mixed bag of emotions and memories for many of us. The events of 2021, including an ongoing pandemic, racial tensions, joblessness, and political unrest created an unprecedented time of unrest and anxiety. While some may have just experienced the best year ever and look forward to an even greater one ahead, others may have just trudged through one deep struggle after another. The fresh calendar year brings desperate hope for things to be better, with an ache for the still-fresh wounds to slowly begin their process of healing. Praying at the start of the New Year doesn't always bring immediate change at the stroke of midnight, but it begins the opening of our hearts to God's Words of hope and peace and trusting GOD no matter what. I'm excited about these 31 days of praying and fasting because we can start on a new journey, a new destiny and a new purpose in life.  This is the 18th day of the fast. I’m so grateful and thankful to God for this opportunity to increase my relationship with Him and exploring all the possibilities that we can experience on these 31 days of a journey of prayer and fasting. I thank Him for allowing us to develop a closer and stronger relationship with Him.  I have great expectations to see all that’s going to happen on my journey as I go through these 31 days of prayer and fasting and consecration. I printed out my fasting contract so that I can detail the things that I want to offer up to God and to see him move on my behalf. I don’t know if anyone has been on a spiritual fast before, but this is my 17th year of my journey of fasting and praying with GOD guiding me. In 2022, I’m expecting a higher move of GOD, along with signs and wonders.  I'm asking  him continuously, to build me up to strengthen me to walk with Him and to take me higher in Him. Last year was a very trying time, but I’m embracing this year and this new season with great anticipation that we’re going to see a mighty move of God. I’m very excited about the move of GOD in this season. Let’s see what GOD is going to do in these 31 days of prayer 🙏🏽 and fasting.

WISDOM ON FASTING:

Most people know the benefits of fasting from food, but fasting from wrong thinking has been an untapped treasure & force—until now! As you continue this amazing journey and tap into this power, you will be transformed! Today we are fasting from the thought that says, "I don't have enough." This is a mindset that says, "I don’t have enough money. I don’t have enough time. I don’t have enough friends. I don’t have enough education, etc." These thoughts build an invisible fence that keeps you in the backyard of lack and deficiency.

LET'S CHANGE IT TODAY!

BELIEVE IN GOD'S ABUNDANT PROVISION. Our God calls Himself: El Shaddai, the God of more than enough. We have more than enough of God living inside of us. Let’s stop thinking in terms of not enough and start thinking in terms of more than enough. GOD IS NOT TRYING TO GET SOMETHING FROM YOU; HE'S TRYING TO GET SOMETHING TO YOU. Trust. Let go. As you let go of what you have in your hand, you are able to receive what God is trying to put in your hand! Give, and it will be given back to you in good measure.

I always have enough, because Philippians 4:19 says, "God shall supply ALL my needs, according to His riches."  I always have enough, because My God is more than enough. I believe that seeds meet needs. I am a sower, and therefore I am a reaper. God is a multiplier, and so am I. I am called to be fruitful and multiply. God is multiplying every good seed that I have ever sown. As I give, He gives back to me good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over! In JESUS Name I 🙏🏽 pray, Amen. 🙏🏽 

THINK MULTIPLICATION

God said: Be fruitful and multiply. He is a multiplier, and so are you. Believe in the God of multiplication!

THINK APPLE ORCHARD

An 🍎 seed becomes an 🍎 orchard. One little seed becomes more than enough apples for a whole community! Believe in the power of a seed. 

CLOSING PRAYER:

Lord, Thank you for your amazing power and work in our lives. Thank you for your goodness and for your blessings over us. Thank you that you are able to bring hope through even the toughest of times, strengthening us for your purposes. Thank you for your great love and care. Thank you for your mercy and grace. Thank you that you are always with us and will never leave us. Thank you for your incredible sacrifice so that we might have freedom and life. Forgive us for when we don't thank you enough, for who you are, for all that you do, for all that you've given. Help us to set our eyes and our hearts on you afresh. Renew our spirits, fill us with your peace and joy. We love you and we need you, this day and every day. We give you praise and thanks, for You alone are worthy! Amen. Father Thank you for your presence with us, thank you for your Almighty Shadow. Thank you that you go before us, and cover us from behind.  Thank you that you are in our midst and that our future is secure in the place you're preparing for us. Your words bring such hope and comfort. Remind us of your strength today, may we see glimpses of your glory and blessings along the way as we seek after you. For victory and salvation are found in you alone. Father I pray for your spirit to be with us and let us experience you like never before on this fast. It’s In the Mighty Name of JESUS name I pray, 🙏🏽 Amen 

JESUS is my Everything
