31 days of fasting: Day 20

31 DAYS OF PRAYER & FASTING : 

DAY 20, OF 

PRAYER & FASTING: 

SCRIPTURE:  

Colossians 1:27 

Peace comes from the presence of God, not the absence of problems. Meditate on the fact that God’s presence is in you and with you. Jesus said "I am with you always." 

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 20th 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:

Today we are fasting from the thought that says, "I feel stressed out." Stress is a powerful mindset that we are going to dismantle. It is a collection of thoughts or fears that bear down on your mind until they penetrate you and control your emotions, your health, and your relationships. LET'S CHANGE IT TODAY. KNOW YOUR ENEMY. The real enemy is thinking that you have to get rid of the enemy. Psalm 23:5 says that He prepares a table (celebration) in the presence of your enemies. Begin to celebrate and praise God in the midst of the pressure, problem, or bad news. That’s when the enemy loses its power. YOUR TREASURE IS GREATER THAN YOUR TROUBLE in 2 Corinthians 4:6–8, Paul said, "We are troubled on every side, but not stressed." Why? Because he knew he had a treasure inside, the power to speak God’s Word, and the ability to change the situation. BE CERTAIN YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE IT . 1 John 4:18) Flood your mind with thoughts of love—God’s love for you, and what He was willing to do to rescue you. If He would die for you, while you were in sin and separated from God, there’s just nothing He wouldn’t do for you! Think on that, and fear will leave.

YOU'RE NOT UNDER STRESS; YOU'RE OVER IT . You are seated with Christ in heavenly places—Ephesians 2:1-6. Live life from above—from God’s perspective. You’re above ONLY and not underneath (Deuteronomy 28:13). The battle is already won. Jesus did it all. Your fight is simply to believe that. That’s when stress leaves. I am free from the power of stress. I don't have to get rid of all my problems to get rid of stress. I have a table in the presence of my enemies. They have NO power over me.

The Prince of Peace lives in me. I am certain I will make it. I am going to the other side. The battle is already won. Jesus did it all. My treasure is greater than my trouble, and I am above stress and not underneath it, in JESUS Name I pray, 🙏🏽 Amen. 

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 blessing along the way as we seek after you. For victory and salvation are found in you alone. Father I  also ask to cover the homeless, the one dealing with mental health, and addiction. We lift up those in jail , and the elderly. I’m 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
