31 DAYS OF PRAYER & FASTING: DAY 31

31 DAYS OF PRAYER & FASTING 

DAY 31 the END OF FAST AND PRAYER 

 WE HAVE A JOB TO DO 

 WE LOOK FORWARD TO THE PRAISE REPORTS:

SCRIPTURES: 

Matthew 25:1-46 Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them, but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps. As the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and slept. 

 1 Corinthians 4:2 Moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful. 

 Luke 19:17 And he said to him, ‘Well done, good servant! Because you have been faithful in a very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.

 John 12:26 If anyone serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there will my servant be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him 

Morning prayer :  

Heavenly Father, this Morning Father I'm so grateful for you keeping me. We are now 31 days into the fast. We made it! We are at the end of the fast but at the beginning of a new level. I must admit, my emotions and thoughts have been all over the place. But I must say, you are doing a new thing within me. Father, I just say thank you for this fast. It has really been an experience for me. I’m not not new to this but I have had an emotional experience this time and you have shown me some things within me and people that all I can say is GOD you got it. Father, I just want to thank you for keeping us all last year. But this is a new day and a new year that you have given to us. I'm excited that within these 31 days we started on a new journey, a new destiny and a new purpose in life. I’m so grateful and thankful to God for the opportunities to increase my relationship with you and the possibilities that I experienced on these 31 days of a journey of prayer and fasting while developing a closer and stronger relationship with you. Today I sat and analyzed some things in my life and went over my vision board. I reread the things I wrote down in detail that I wanted to see happen on my journey as I went through these 31 days of prayer, fasting and consecration. I don’t know if anyone has been on a spiritual fast before but this is my 19th year of my journey of fasting and praying with GOD guiding me. This time I’m expecting a higher move of GOD of signs and wonders. Last year was a very trying time. But I’m embracing this year 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 has done in these 31 days of prayer and fasting. 

This the last day and we made we did it. Jesus said to His followers, "Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock" Matthew 7:24, Today is the final day of your fast. You have heard His Word, and you have obeyed. You are like that wise man with his house upon a rock! So, remain committed today. Press in and hear what the Spirit of the Lord would say to you. He showed me some things that were for a time and season yet to come. Recently, the Lord has stirred my spirit with a sense that now is the time. It is as if He is saying, "You've prayed about it. You've dreamed about it. You've asked Me for it. You've longed for it. It's been prophesied over you. Prepare yourself." These past twenty-one days, you have set yourself to diligently seek the Lord, sanctifying yourself with a fast. And just as God has been speaking to me, I believe that, likewise, your breakthrough" is just around the corner. God is going to do wonders in your life, leading you to places you have never been before! 

WISDOM ON FASTING: 

WE HAVE A JOB TO DO 

Stay connected no matter what. The devil will test you after this and probably already have started but just know that we win in the end and that we are more than conquerors in Christ Jesus. Know that the trying of our faith works patience and the patience we have is a perfect work in us and through us as we know that we have stored up and put some things in our spiritual account to pull on throughout the whole year. Just stay the course and trust the process. Just as the devil tried to tempt Jesus, he will try to tempt us as well. Don’t give into the lies or the tricks or the tactics of the enemy. We walk by faith and not by sight "The Spirit then compelled Jesus to go into the wilderness, where he was tempted by Satan for forty days. He was out among the wild animals, and angels took care of him. I don’t know of a clearer passage in Scripture than this one, which shows us the Trinity in action: “As Jesus came up out of the water, he saw the heavens splitting apart and the Holy Spirit descending on him like a dove. And a voice from heaven said, ‘You are my dearly loved Son, and you bring me great joy’” (Mark 1:20–11 NLT). Here we have Jesus, the Son, being baptized. We have the Holy Spirit coming upon Him like a dove. And we have the voice of the Father saying, “You are my dearly loved Son, and you bring me great joy.” But after the dove came the Devil. After the blessing came the trial, because immediately Jesus went into the wilderness to face Satan. Mark tells us, “The Spirit then compelled Jesus to go into the wilderness, where he was tempted by Satan for forty days” (verses 12–13 NLT). While Mark doesn’t give us a full account of Christ’s temptation like Matthew and Luke do, this suggests that Jesus didn’t want to go. But it was something urgent that the Holy Spirit was doing here, because Jesus had to go through this. There was no time to bask in the glory of God. It was straight to work. Jesus had a job to do. But it also shows us something very important. Often trials or testing or temptations come after moments of great blessing. We all know what it’s like to be tempted. We’ve all felt the presence of temptation, haven’t we? Satan is real, and temptation is real as well. So where is the best place to be when we’re being tempted? The best place to be is in the will of God, just like Jesus was. 

CLOSING PRAYER: 

Heavenly Father, I'm so grateful we are at day 31. We made it to the end and on a path to new beginnings. I'm so excited about all that you are doing and will do. I must admit it’s been challenging at times, not so much the not eating, but the shifting and the cutting away and the things. You have revealed to me the people I had to release. I’m in expectation for greatness this year. All I can say is wow! I'm ready for everything you have for me. I praise you GOD in the midst of it all. Thank you for your amazing grace, power and work in our lives. This morning, help us to trust you to meet our every need and to handle every challenge and problem we face and to know that we are not alone. I know that Father GOD, you are working it out. Help us to practice self control and discipline and help us to stop over thinking and control our thoughts and emotions because it affects everything we do. Help us Father to know that our happiness comes from you. Allow your love to be in us to receive happiness in every area of our lives. GOD we are to bless you and not be stressing over anything. Father, give us this day, our daily bread. Father, 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 purpose. 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. 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! Father Thank you for your presence with us, thank you for your Almighty power Thank you that you go before us, and cover us.  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 pray for your spirit to be with us and let us experience you like never before on this fast.

31 DAYS OF PRAYER & FASTING: DAY 30

 

31 DAYS OF PRAYER & FASTING: 

DAY 30 OF PRAYER & FASTING 

WHY IS GOD NOT STOPPING THIS  

SCRIPTURE: 

Psalm 54:4 Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is the upholder of my life. 

Hebrews 13:6 So we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me 

John 14:26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. 

Isaiah 40:31 But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint. 

Morning prayer :  

Heavenly Father, this morning I'm so grateful for you keeping me for the past 30 days.  My emotions and thoughts have been all over the place, but I must say, you are doing a new thing in me. Father, I just say thank you for this fast. It has really been an experience for me and I’m not not new to this, but I have had more of an emotional experience this time. You have shown me some things in me, and in people, that all I can say is GOD you got it! Father, I just want to thank you for keeping us all year, but this is a new day and a new year that you have given to us. I'm excited about these 31 days that we can start on a new journey. A new destiny. A new purpose in life. I’m so grateful and thankful to you for the opportunities to increase my relationship with you and all of the possibilities that I can experience within these 31 days of a journey of prayer and fasting. Today, as I sat and analyzed some things in my life and looked over my vision board, I  wrote down, in detail, the things that I want to see happen on my journey. I also printed out my fasting contract so that I could detail the things that I want to offer up to God in order to see him move on my behalf. I don’t know if anyone has been on a spiritual fast before, but this is the 19th year of my journey of fasting and praying, with GOD guiding me. But this time I’m expecting a higher move of GOD with signs and wonders. I'm asking him continuously to build me up and to strengthen me to walk with Him. I'm asking Him to take me higher in him. This past year had been a very trying time but I’m embracing this new year, this new season, with great anticipation that we will 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.

 "WHY ISN'T GOD STOPPING THIS?" 

Today we're fasting from the thought that says, "Why isn't God stopping this?" 

This thinking is rooted in the inaccurate belief that God is in control of everything. Don’t get me wrong: He started this world in control of everything, but He gave much authority to mankind at Creation, and then again as new creations in Christ. We have to stop waiting for God to stop the things He gave us the power to stop. Jesus said: Whatever we bind on earth is bound in heaven. 

LET'S CHANGE IT TODAY: YOU HAVE AUTHORITY IN LIFE Remember, Jesus has given us ALL power over the enemy (Luke 10:19). The enemy, the devil, wants to blind you to your authority, so that you will accept whatever happens in life, or wait for God to do something about it. Awaken to your God-given authority as a child of God. 

START REIGNING AND YOU’LL STOP WHINING. Through the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness, we REIGN in life." (Romans 5:17) As you awake to grace and righteousness—and your God-given authority—you’ll stop thinking and feeling like a victim. 

GOD GIVES EVERY GOOD GIFT JAMES 1:1 God is good, and the devil is bad. It was Satan, not God, who smote Job. But God has given us the power to resist the devil, and walk in our God-given authority and destiny. 

GOD DOESN'T SEND STORMS TO TEACH US A LESSON . Life brings storms. But God brings shelter. God is the source of our shelter, not the source of the storm. Isaiah 25:4 says, "You are a refuge from the storm. 

PLANT THE RIGHT SEEDS BEFORE THE STORMS OF LIFE HIT (Mark 4:26-35) Jesus taught His disciples to plant the seed of God’s Word. THEN, He got in the boat, and the storm hit. They had the power to stop the storm. They just didn’t know it. 

YOU'RE JUST LIKE JESUS! Yes, the disciples woke Jesus, and He stopped the storm. BUT, in 1 John 4:17, it tells us that as He is, so are we. He gave you His Word, His Name, and His authority. You can stop the forces of hell that come against you. 

WISDOM IS GREATER THAN THE STORM And the wise build their house—their life—on the Word of God. No matter what life or the enemy throws at you, you will stand—especially when your life is built on the wisdom of God’s Word. 

THINK IT AND SAY IT: I agree with Jesus! I take authority over the storms of life, and over all the power of the enemy. Through the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness, I reign in life. I have the power to choose PEACE in the midst of the storms of life. I walk in wisdom, by acting on the Word, and I rise above every situation, in the Name of Jesus! 

Quotes: 

Even If I’m in a place where light can’t sweep through, God’s grace will reach me and save me. Luffina Lourduraj 

But courage, little heart. We will turn back, and by God's help we may find the lost path. Elizabeth Gaskell 

You must ask for God's help. Even when you have done so, it may seem to you for a long time that no help, or less help than you need, is being given. Never mind. After each failure, ask forgiveness, pick yourself up, and try again. Vary often what God first helps us towards is not the virtue itself but just this power of always trying again. Mere Christianity. C.S. Lewis

May we seek God's help at all times not only in suffering nor in hardships. Lailah Gifty Akita 

CLOSING PRAYER: 

Heavenly Father, I'm so grateful we are past the half way mark of the fast, Day 30. I'm so excited about all your doing! I must admit, it’s been challenging at times. Not so much the not eating but the shifting and the cutting away of the things you have revealed to me. All I can say is WOW, I wasn’t ready. But I praise you GOD in the midst of it all. Thank you for your amazing grace, power and work in our lives. This morning, help us to trust you to meet our every need. Help us to practice self control and discipline. Help us to stop over thinking and control our thoughts and emotions because they really affect everything we do. Help us get control of ourselves and the way we think and react as to not allow the spirit of stress to overtake us. We are too blessed to be stressing over anything. Let’s get to it! We are winning! Father, give us this day, our daily bread. 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 by strengthening us for your purpose. 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. 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! Father Thank you for your presence with us, thank you for your Almighty power. Thank you that you go before us and cover us.  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. In the Mighty Name of JESUS name I pray,  Amen

31 DAYS OF PRAYER & FASTING: DAY 29

 

31 DAYS OF PRAYER & FASTING: 

 DAY 29 OF PRAYER & FASTING 

 ITS TO LATE NOW 

SCRIPTURE: 

Isaiah 55:8 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. 

Habakkuk 2:3 For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay. 

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. 

 1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. 

Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. 

Romans 8:28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. 

Ecclesiastes 3:1 For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: 

Morning prayer :  

Heavenly Father, this morning I'm so grateful for you keeping me for the past 29 days.  My emotions and thoughts have been all over the place, but I must say, you are doing a new thing in me. Father, I just say thank you for this fast. It has really been an experience for me and I’m not not new to this, but I have had more of an emotional experience this time. You have shown me some things in me, and in people, that all I can say is GOD you got it! Father, I just want to thank you for keeping us all year, but this is a new day and a new year that you have given to us. I'm excited about these 31 days that we can start on a new journey. A new destiny. A new purpose in life. I’m so grateful and thankful to you for the opportunities to increase my relationship with you and all of the possibilities that I can experience within these 31 days of a journey of prayer and fasting. Today, as I sat and analyzed some things in my life and looked over my vision board, I  wrote down, in detail, the things that I want to see happen on my journey. I also printed out my fasting contract so that I could detail the things that I want to offer up to God in order to see him move on my behalf. I don’t know if anyone has been on a spiritual fast before, but this is the 19th year of my journey of fasting and praying, with GOD guiding me. But this time I’m expecting a higher move of GOD with signs and wonders. I'm asking him continuously to build me up and to strengthen me to walk with Him. I'm asking Him to take me higher in him. This past year had been a very trying time but I’m embracing this new year, this new season, with great anticipation that we will 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.

IT'S TOO LATE 

We are so time conscious. We allow time to limit us and define for us what we're capable of, or what God can do in our lives. Today we're fasting from the thought that says, "It's too late." It's often ingrained in us that it's too late to change, too late to start a new career, too late to save your marriage, too late to recover from a terrible mistake, too late to start over again, or too late to have a second chance. The truth is: It's never too late! When you realize that it's not too late, you have hope. You take action. You move forward.

LET'S CHANGE IT TODAY: UN-DECIDE THAT IT'S TOO LATE FOR THESE THINGS TO CHANGE 

Un-decide that you can’t recover. Un-decide that the damage is irreversible. It’s NOT too late to turn your finances around, to recover from a tragedy or mistake, to surrender your life to God, to take better care of yourself, to change the way you see yourself, to apologize, or to break a bad habit. MEDITATE ON THE FACT THAT GOD CREATED TIME AND HE CAN MULTIPLY IT The earth and sun stood still in Joshua 10:12–13. "And Joshua said in the sight of Israel, ‘Sun, stand still.’ So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped." Joshua had control over time for God’s purpose. We need to start thinking that way—that we have control over our time, rather than it having control over us! 

THINK ABOUT THE GREAT CLOUD OF WITNESSES FOR WHOM IT WASN'T TOO LATE 

It wasn’t too late for Abraham and Sarah to become parents at 99 and 90 years old (Genesis 21). It wasn’t too late for Peter after he denied the Lord three times (Luke 22:61). It wasn’t too late for the woman caught in adultery (John 8:1–11), the woman with the issue of blood (Mark 5:25–34), or the man who was lame at the pool of Bethesda for 38 years (John 5:1–10). EMBRACE GRACE Lamentations 3:22–23 says, "His mercy is new every morning." Hebrews 4:15 says, "Come boldly to the throne of grace to receive mercy and grace in your time of need." Mercy is when God doesn’t give us the judgment that we do deserve, and grace is when God gives us the goodness that we don’t deserve. 

RID YOURSELF OF EXCUSE-MAKING God doesn’t accept excuses, but He gives lots of grace! We might feel low self-esteem or have a disability as Moses did. He had a speech impediment, but God gave him chance after chance to be used to deliver God’s people. 

ASK GOD FOR MORE TIME AND ANOTHER CHANCE Hezekiah did this in 2 Kings 20:1–6. When Hezekiah asked for a second chance, God told him, "I have heard your prayer... surely I will heal you... and I will add to your days fifteen years." If he did it for Hezekiah, He will do it for you! THINK IT AND SAY IT It's not too late for things to improve in my life and radically turn around. I believe in the God of second chances. I can recover, and there is nothing that God won't turn around in my life. God created time, and He can multiply it for me. I am not controlled by time. By God's grace, I control it, in Jesus' Name! 

 One of my favorite verses is Genesis 39:2. It says: "Joseph was a successful man, because the Lord was with him." You see, it doesn’t focus on what Joseph had. Because on the outside, he had nothing.It focuses on what he was: a successful man. That’s a championship identity. That leads to a championship destiny. And why was Joseph so successful even in his tribulation? Because God was with him. You see, God brought Joseph with Him into a life of victory. God is our Champion, as He brings us with Him. Champions aren’t afraid to share their success. Let’s do likewise.

It's never too late to change what you are, it took me a long time to figure that out.

31 DAYS OF PRAYER & FASTING: DAY 28

 

31 DAYS OF PRAYER & FASTING: 

DAY 28 OF PRAYER & FASTING

GOD MUST BE REWARDING THEM AND NOT ME

SCRIPTURE: 

James 1:12 Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.

2 Timothy 4:8 Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing. 

Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. 

Colossians 3:23-24 Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ. 

Morning prayer :  

Heavenly Father, this morning I'm so grateful for you keeping me for the past 28 days.  My emotions and thoughts have been all over the place, but I must say, you are doing a new thing in me. Father, I just say thank you for this fast. It has really been an experience for me and I’m not not new to this, but I have had more of an emotional experience this time. You have shown me some things in me, and in people, that all I can say is GOD you got it! Father, I just want to thank you for keeping us all year, but this is a new day and a new year that you have given to us. I'm excited about these 31 days that we can start on a new journey. A new destiny. A new purpose in life. I’m so grateful and thankful to you for the opportunities to increase my relationship with you and all of the possibilities that I can experience within these 31 days of a journey of prayer and fasting. Today, as I sat and analyzed some things in my life and looked over my vision board, I  wrote down, in detail, the things that I want to see happen on my journey. I also printed out my fasting contract so that I could detail the things that I want to offer up to God in order to see him move on my behalf. I don’t know if anyone has been on a spiritual fast before, but this is the 19th year of my journey of fasting and praying, with GOD guiding me. But this time I’m expecting a higher move of GOD with signs and wonders. I'm asking him continuously to build me up and to strengthen me to walk with Him. I'm asking Him to take me higher in him. This past year had been a very trying time but I’m embracing this new year, this new season, with great anticipation that we will 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.

The Power to Fast can be hard, but we do not have to fast on our own strength. During our fast, we can rely on the Lord's strength. 

Wisdom on fasting from wrong thinking: 

GOD MUST BE REWARDING THEM AND NOT ME: 

Today we're fasting from the thought that says: "God must be rewarding them and not me." One of the things that make us most unhappy is when we compare ourselves to others and to what they have. When we compare, we despair. So. LET'S CHANGE IT TODAY: Fasting is a discipline that is difficult but can is easier with the Holy Spirit. It can move beyond hard to be exciting and rewarding. (Matthew 19:26). A fast done in God’s strength– and not your own – helps you grow in your walk with God. After a fast, many are more responsive to God and more willing to let Him direct their lives. They often experience greater joy and intimacy with God. And the fruit of the Spirit becomes more evident in their lives. 

GOD HAS ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE Psalm 145:16 says that He satisfies the desire of EVERY living thing. His reward for one person doesn’t come at the expense of someone else. WHAT DO YOU DESIRE? Freedom? Joy? Provision? A better relationship with someone? He will satisfy your desire. Ask Him to right now. 

SETTLE THIS: GOD HONORS HIS WORD ABOVE ANYTHING Cling to His Word, and you will get honored with it. Promotion, increase, and rewards will come. 

GET YOUR THOUGHTS OFF THEM AND ON HIM Fix your eyes on Jesus. He is the source of all that you could ever want or need. Every good and perfect gift comes from above. (James 1:17) Look UP, not OUT. 

IT'S EASIER TO SEEK HIM THAN YOU THINK Seeking God is not about our effort. It’s about LOOKING TO Jesus as your source and discovering His way of thinking and looking at things. As we think His way (His Word), we will believe like Him. Our faith will soar! Manifestations WILL COME. That is what it means to seek Him. 

SEE OTHER PEOPLE’S ABUNDANCE AS A PREDICTION OF YOURS The testimony of what Jesus has done for someone else is a prophecy of what He can do for you. 

EXPECT FAVOR Favor surrounds the righteous on every side! And you are the righteousness of God, simply by being in Christ. THINK IT AND SAY IT God is MY Rewarder. I adopt His thinking regarding my life and situation. I fix my eyes on Him, and He finishes my faith. Favor surrounds me, promotion surrounds me, and God's rewards surround me like a shield, in Jesus’ Name! Keep the faith. The vision is always for the appointed time. 

Be patient, prayerful and wait for the fulfillment of your visions. Lailah Gifty Akita 

Quotes: 

This is the most precious answer God can give us: wait. It makes us cling to him rather than to an outcome. God knows what I need; I do not. He sees the future; I cannot. His perspective is eternal; mine is not. He will give me what is best for me when it is best for me. Vaneetha Rendall Risner, 

So I'm waiting for God, and God is waiting for me to see if I am really waiting for him, and not just wanting things from him. Pete Greig Red 

God is intentional. HE is deliberate, precise, and knows what HE is doing. Your job is to keep the faith, wait on Him and know that HE is God. Germany Kent 

CLOSING PRAYER: 

Heavenly Father, I'm so grateful we are past the half way mark of the fast, Day 28. I'm so excited about all your doing! I must admit, it’s been challenging at times. Not so much the not eating but the shifting and the cutting away of the things you have revealed to me. All I can say is WOW, I wasn’t ready. But I praise you GOD in the midst of it all. Thank you for your amazing grace, power and work in our lives. This morning, help us to trust you to meet our every need. Help us to practice self control and discipline. Help us to stop over thinking and control our thoughts and emotions because they really affect everything we do. Help us get control of ourselves and the way we think and react as to not allow the spirit of stress to overtake us. We are too blessed to be stressing over anything. Let’s get to it! We are winning! Father, give us this day, our daily bread. 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 by strengthening us for your purpose. 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. 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! Father Thank you for your presence with us, thank you for your Almighty power. Thank you that you go before us and cover us.  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. In the Mighty Name of JESUS name I pray,  Amen

31 DAYS OF PRAYER & FASTING : DAY 27

31 DAYS OF PRAYER & FASTING: 

DAY 27 OF PRAYER & FASTING

I TRIED TO FORGIVE, BUT I JUST DON'T FEEL IT

SCRIPTURE: 

Ephesians 4:32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. 

Mark 11:25 And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 

Matthew 6:15 But if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. 

Matthew 18:21-22 Then Peter came up and said to him,Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy-seven times. 

Matthew 6:14-15 For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. 

Luke 6:37 Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven 

Morning prayer :  

Heavenly Father, this morning I'm so grateful for you keeping me for the past 27 days.  My emotions and thoughts have been all over the place, but I must say, you are doing a new thing in me. Father, I just say thank you for this fast. It has really been an experience for me and I’m not not new to this, but I have had more of an emotional experience this time. You have shown me some things in me, and in people, that all I can say is GOD you got it! Father, I just want to thank you for keeping us all year, but this is a new day and a new year that you have given to us. I'm excited about these 31 days that we can start on a new journey. A new destiny. A new purpose in life. I’m so grateful and thankful to you for the opportunities to increase my relationship with you and all of the possibilities that I can experience within these 31 days of a journey of prayer and fasting. Today, as I sat and analyzed some things in my life and looked over my vision board, I  wrote down, in detail, the things that I want to see happen on my journey. I also printed out my fasting contract so that I could detail the things that I want to offer up to God in order to see him move on my behalf. I don’t know if anyone has been on a spiritual fast before, but this is the 19th year of my journey of fasting and praying, with GOD guiding me. But this time I’m expecting a higher move of GOD with signs and wonders. I'm asking him continuously to build me up and to strengthen me to walk with Him. I'm asking Him to take me higher in him. This past year had been a very trying time but I’m embracing this new year, this new season, with great anticipation that we will 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 fast from wrong thinking: 

I TRIED TO FORGIVE, BUT I JUST DON'T FEEL IT

Today we're fasting from the thought that says, "I tried to forgive, but I just don't feel it." Many people are held back in life because they are waiting for the feeling of forgiveness before they let go. In the meantime, unforgiveness continues its damage against them, while they wait for their feelings to change. Your feelings won’t change until your thoughts do! 

LET'S CHANGE IT TODAY: FORGIVENESS IS NOT A FEELING It is a decision to GIVE it as a free gift. Whatever grudge, bitterness, or resentment that you have toward someone will not go away without a choice to "give it" as a gift. 

FORGIVE BY FAITH 2 Corinthians 5:7 says, "We live by faith; therefore we forgive by faith." Never let your faith follow your feelings. Your feelings will catch up with your faith. 

DON’T BE FOOLED BY THE FEELINGS OF RESENTMENT OR ANGER WHEN THEY TRY TO COME BACK You’ll be tempted to think, "I don’t feel anything, so nothing has changed. I guess I must not have really forgiven them." This is a lie! This is the thought you must fast from. The moment you forgive someone, as a choice, it’s done, no matter what you feel. 

BELIEVE AND BE THANKFUL THAT YOU ARE FREE FROM THE PAIN AND CONSEQUENCES OF UNFORGIVENESS Thank God that you are free and healed. As you do this EVERY TIME that you feel those feelings, you will feel less and less of the pain, until it completely vanishes away. 

UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF THE WORD: FOR—GIVE It simply means to GIVE BEFORE. We need to "give" forgiveness BEFORE the person apologizes, BEFORE they change, and most importantly BEFORE you feel anything. Just as faith works by believing God’s promises BEFORE they show up (Mark 11:24-25), forgiveness works BEFORE you feel it. When you forgive BEFORE you feel good feelings about that person, you are living in the highest level of faith. 

MEDITATE ON WHAT GOD HAS DONE FOR YOU, RATHER THAN WHAT PEOPLE HAVE DONE TO YOU Psalm 103:2-4 says, "Bless the Lord O my soul and forget none of His benefits—He pardons all your iniquities, heals all your diseases, redeems your life from destruction, crowns you with loving-kindness and compassion." Think on these things. 

THINK IT AND SAY IT I accept that forgiveness is not a feeling. It’s a decision. Beginning today, I expect the bitter feelings, the problems, and the unanswered prayers to change because of the choice I have made. I forgive by faith, which means that as I act on the Word of God and declare my forgiveness out loud, I am walking in forgiveness, whether I feel something or not. I am forgiven and I am a forgiver! I choose to forgive others (AND MYSELF), BEFORE they change, before they deserve it, and before I feel it. I focus on what God has done for me, rather than what others have done to me, and therefore, I am free. In Jesus’ Name! 

Quotes: 

People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered. Love them anyway. If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. Do good anyway. To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you. C.S. Lewis 

If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway. The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize that the situation is over, you cannot move forward. Steve Maraboli 

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. Mahatma Gandhi Every one knows men and women think differently at times, but the biggest difference is this. Men forget, but never forgive; women forgive, but never forget. Robert Jordan 

Closing Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I'm so grateful we are past the half way mark of the fast, Day 27. I'm so excited about all your doing! I must admit, it’s been challenging at times. Not so much the not eating but the shifting and the cutting away of the things you have revealed to me. All I can say is WOW, I wasn’t ready. But I praise you GOD in the midst of it all. Thank you for your amazing grace, power and work in our lives. This morning, help us to trust you to meet our every need. Help us to practice self control and discipline. Help us to stop over thinking and control our thoughts and emotions because they really affect everything we do. Help us get control of ourselves and the way we think and react as to not allow the spirit of stress to overtake us. We are too blessed to be stressing over anything. Let’s get to it! We are winning! Father, give us this day, our daily bread. 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 by strengthening us for your purpose. 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. 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!

31 DAYS OF PRAYER & FASTING: DAY 26

 

31 DAYS OF PRAYER & FASTING: 

DAY 26 OF PRAYER & FASTING:

I DON'T FEEL LOVED 

 SCRIPTURE: 

 John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 

 Romans 5:8 But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 

 Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. 

 1 John 4:16 So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. 

Morning prayer :  

Heavenly Father, this morning I'm so grateful for you keeping me for the past 26 days.  My emotions and thoughts have been all over the place, but I must say, you are doing a new thing in me. Father, I just say thank you for this fast. It has really been an experience for me and I’m not not new to this, but I have had more of an emotional experience this time. You have shown me some things in me, and in people, that all I can say is GOD you got it! Father, I just want to thank you for keeping us all year, but this is a new day and a new year that you have given to us. I'm excited about these 31 days that we can start on a new journey. A new destiny. A new purpose in life. I’m so grateful and thankful to you for the opportunities to increase my relationship with you and all of the possibilities that I can experience within these 31 days of a journey of prayer and fasting. Today, as I sat and analyzed some things in my life and looked over my vision board, I  wrote down, in detail, the things that I want to see happen on my journey. I also printed out my fasting contract so that I could detail the things that I want to offer up to God in order to see him move on my behalf. I don’t know if anyone has been on a spiritual fast before, but this is the 19th year of my journey of fasting and praying, with GOD guiding me. But this time I’m expecting a higher move of GOD with signs and wonders. I'm asking him continuously to build me up and to strengthen me to walk with Him. I'm asking Him to take me higher in him. This past year had been a very trying time but I’m embracing this new year, this new season, with great anticipation that we will 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 from wrong thinking: 

By now, your fast has likely led you through many emotions and levels of God’s presence. You are beginning to see the reward of the humbling of your flesh that can only take place during a fast. You are sensing the desires of God’s heart filling you and prompting you to do great things. Continue on this journey. No doubt, God’s priorities are seldom our priorities. That is the difference between the nature of man and the nature of God. He even said so: “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts . Isaiah 55:9, I can tell you from firsthand experience that fasting causes you to take that sword of God’s Word and separate what you want from what you need. There are too many people on the edge of what God is doing and not enough of us standing firmly in the middle of His will. If ever there was a time when we needed to be fasting and praying together, it is now. We need each other. We need a spirit of togetherness. We need a spirit of trust. We need a spirit of unity. We need a spirit of compassion for one another. Together, let’s desire to be in the will of God and to walk according to His plans. 

 LOSE the thought of: I DON'T FEEL LOVED. 

 We have embarked upon the most significant journey of our lives: fasting from wrong thinking. And today's thought is probably the most important one any of us ever deal with at a deep level. 

Today we are fasting from the thought that says, "I don't feel loved."

The number-one need in every human life is to be loved. Yet sadly, so few actually enjoy a life where they actually feel loved. 

LET'S CHANGE THAT THOUGHT TODAY: GOD'S NOT MAD AT YOU, HE'S MAD ABOUT YOU 

Dispel the myth of an angry God. He poured out His wrath on Jesus while on the cross, so He could pour out His love on you forever. "God is love." (1 John 4:8) OUR FEELINGS FOLLOW OUR THOUGHTS Flood your mind with the thought, "My Heavenly Father tenderly loves me! John 16:27 You and God are inseparable. Nothing can separate you from Him or His love. Believe this with every fiber in your being! RECOGNIZE YOUR VALUE The value of a piece of art is not determined by the cost to make it, but rather by how much someone would pay to have it. God paid for us with the blood of Jesus. That makes us as valuable to God, as Jesus Himself! You are priceless! YOU DON'T HAVE TO EARN SOMETHING GOD HAS ALREADY GIVEN YOU He loves you. That can’t be earned. It is a gift from God (John 3:16). Accept it. Your value is not determined by what you’ve done or not done. Just be loved. 

REJECT THE VOICES OF REJECTION 

Look in the mirror and tell yourself that you are chosen by God, accepted, and outrageously loved by your Heavenly Father. KNOW YOUR CALLING By this, I’m not referring to your calling to serve in ministry or your profession. I’m talking about what God calls you. He calls you His beloved continually in the Bible. Do a word search. You are His beloved. So, be loved! 

THINK IT AND SAY IT  

God is not mad at me, He’s mad about me! I am outrageously loved by Him! His love was shown on the cross and His love and favor are for a lifetime! My Heavenly Father tenderly loves me. Therefore, I will feel His love today! He continually calls me His beloved. Nothing can separate me from His love. I am valuable and priceless to Him. I am as valuable to God as Jesus is. I receive His love by faith, in Jesus’ Name! 

QUOTES ON GODS LOVE:

God continually tells us that He loves us through the air we breathe, the food we eat, the people who love us and so much more.

You Are So Loved The greatest fulfillment we can get in life is from reciprocating God’s love.

God’s love is so consistent and so encompassing that it puts the best of us to shame. 

After we’ve been hurt and traumatized by the objects of our flighty attentions, if we would come back to Him, our loving God will accept, heal and make us whole. 

 God’s love is awesome. He sees us not for who we are but for who He meant us to be. 

 God’s love is so ubiquitous. It is the inspiration behind every kindness we receive. 

CLOSING PRAYER: 

Heavenly Father, I'm so grateful we are past the half way mark of the fast, Day 26. I'm so excited about all your doing! I must admit, it’s been challenging at times. Not so much the not eating but the shifting and the cutting away of the things you have revealed to me. All I can say is WOW, I wasn’t ready. But I praise you GOD in the midst of it all. Thank you for your amazing grace, power and work in our lives. This morning, help us to trust you to meet our every need. Help us to practice self control and discipline. Help us to stop over thinking and control our thoughts and emotions because they really affect everything we do. Help us get control of ourselves and the way we think and react as to not allow the spirit of stress to overtake us. We are too blessed to be stressing over anything. Let’s get to it! We are winning! Father, give us this day, our daily bread. 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 by strengthening us for your purpose. 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. 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!

31 DAYS OF PRAYER & FASTING: DAY 25

 31 DAYS OF PRAYER & FASTING: 

 DAY 25 OF PRAYER & FASTING

 IT'S JUST SO HARD TO BE A CHRISTIAN 

 SCRIPTURE: 

 Proverbs 16:3 Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.

 Proverbs 3:5-8 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones.

 Matthew 22:37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 

 Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. 

 James 4:8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 

 Psalm 25:4 Make me to know your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths.

Morning prayer :  

Heavenly Father, this morning I'm so grateful for you keeping me for the past 25 days.  My emotions and thoughts have been all over the place, but I must say, you are doing a new thing in me. Father, I just say thank you for this fast. It has really been an experience for me and I’m not not new to this, but I have had more of an emotional experience this time. You have shown me some things in me, and in people, that all I can say is GOD you got it! Father, I just want to thank you for keeping us all year, but this is a new day and a new year that you have given to us. I'm excited about these 31 days that we can start on a new journey. A new destiny. A new purpose in life. I’m so grateful and thankful to you for the opportunities to increase my relationship with you and all of the possibilities that I can experience within these 31 days of a journey of prayer and fasting. Today, as I sat and analyzed some things in my life and looked over my vision board, I  wrote down, in detail, the things that I want to see happen on my journey.

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!

 A Personal Hunger for God Fasting allows us to understand the places and people God is moving us toward. 

 When you are hungry, your mind focuses on food. You long to eat, but sometimes even when you do, you are not satisfied. There are times when our spirit is hungering for something that may be hard to identify. This is the perfect time to come before the Lord in a time of fasting to find exactly what it is that He is moving you toward. 

 Wisdom on fasting from wrong thinking: 

 IT'S JUST SO HARD TO BE A CHRISTIAN 

 Today we are fasting from the thought that says, "It's just so hard to be a Christian." We are going to break this mentality once and for all, because it is the single most often misunderstood concept that is keeping believers defeated.And living in confusion and uncertainty. Jesus said to take His yoke because it's easy and His burden is light. That's the grace of God! He did the heavy lifting, and now our job is to enter into His rest. 

 LET'S CHANGE IT TODAY : 

 IT'S NOT HARD TO BE SOMETHING YOU ALREADY ARE: 

 Jesus made you a Christian, and there’s nothing that can change that. You’re a new creation! You are already more than a conqueror! You don’t have to TRY to be a human. You are one! In the same way: You ARE a Christian! 

 IT IS HE WHO MADE US, AND NOT WE OURSELVES  Selah—pause and think on that. HE MADE YOU A CHRISTIAN. And you can’t undo what God has done. JESUS DID IT ALL When He said, "It is finished," in John 19:30, He meant: "The debt is paid; the sentence is served; the victory is won! I did everything necessary for you to be saved and at peace." Now, just believe it. START REALIZING "CHRISTIAN" MEANS "CHRIST-IN" He is in you. It’s impossible for you to fail at being a Christian, when the anointing (Christ) is at work within you. HIS YOKE IS EASY Reverse your thinking. Think, "It’s easy to be a Christian." His yoke is easy. His burden is light. You are yoked/connected/hitched to Him! Yes Lord. REST IN THE FACT THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE PERFECT God is not holding you to a perfect standard. Jesus is your perfection. Just rest in this truth! 

 THINK IT AND SAY IT It is easy to live the Christian life because God already made me more than a conqueror. Jesus did it all! His life is in me. His love is in me. His power is in me. His Spirit is in me. Therefore, I cannot fail as a Christian! I am not alone, and never will be. I am yoked to Him, and that’s why I can enjoy my relationship WITH God, rather than strive to fulfill a duty FOR God. I am free, in Jesus’ Name 

 CLOSING PRAYER: 

Heavenly Father, I'm so grateful we are past the half way mark of the fast, Day 25. I'm so excited about all your doing! I must admit, it’s been challenging at times. Not so much the not eating but the shifting and the cutting away of the things you have revealed to me. All I can say is WOW, I wasn’t ready. But I praise you GOD in the midst of it all.
