31 DAYS OF PRAYER & FASTING:

 DAY 13 OF PRAYER & FASTING

SCRIPTURE: 

1. Proverbs 4:25-27 Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways. Do not turn to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil.

 3. Colossians 3:2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 

Morning prayer :  

Father GOD,  I thank you for keeping us all year! This is a new day in 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 and a new purpose in life.  I’m so grateful and thankful to God for the opportunity to increase my relationship with Him and all the possibilities that we can experience on this 31 day journey of prayer and fasting . I'm also thankful for being able to develop a closer and stronger relationship with Him. Today I sat and analyzed some things in my life and went over my vision board.  I  wrote down, in detail, the things that I wanted to see happen on my journey as I go through these 31 days of prayer, fasting and consecration. I also printed out my fasting contract so that I can detail all the things that I want to offer up to Him 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 my 19th year of my journey of fasting and praying with GOD Guiding me. But this time I’m expecting a higher move of GOD. 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 year has been a very trying time. But I’m embracing this year, 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.

Jesus said, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled" (Matthew 5:6, NKJV) Undoubtedly, we must diligently feed on God's Word. As Job proclaimed, "I have not departed from the commandment of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my necessary food" (Job 23:12, NKJV). And believe me, fasting allows you many opportunities to diligently seek the Lord!

You must diligently seek Him when everyone else is going out to the movies, drinking sodas, and eating popcorn, and you choose to stay home to be with the Lord because you want to hear from Him. Diligently seeking Him through fasting happens in the morning when everyone else gets up and enjoys breakfast while you choose to spend time with God. It comes when you're at work, and everyone else is having burgers, fries, and ice cream for lunch, but you are drinking bottled water! To be diligent is to be persistent. And according to Hebrews 11:6, God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. He has already laid up rewards for you in Heaven. The key is to seek Him! What if your next fast led to your greatest breakthrough? 

WORD OF WISDOM ON THE FAST: 

I CANT SHAKE MY PAST 

Today we are fasting from the thought that says, "I can't shake my past." Often our past is what limits us and keeps us defeated. 

LET'S CHANGE IT TODAY:

MEET THE NEW YOU 

You truly are a new creation—if you are in Christ. The old has passed away. Your past is over! GOD WILL USE YOUR PAST: Romans 8:28. All things, including your past, work for your GOOD! While your past is over, God can still make it work to your advantage. Believe that. YOU ARE MORE THAN A CONQUEROR That means your past doesn’t conquer you! You have conquered it, by being in Christ. You’re the head and not the tail! See yourself that way, and your past loses its grip on you. YOU ARE NOT GUILTY: No matter how guilty you were, you have been pronounced by Jesus as "NOT GUILTY". Jesus has washed all your sins away (Romans 8:34). That’s how God sees you. Now, you can start seeing yourself that way. 

YOU CAN SHAKE IT OFF! In Acts 28:5, Paul shook off a serpent from his hand. And you have the power to do so as well. Nothing can harm you anymore—not even your past mistakes or shortcomings. Shake it off by speaking to it! HAVE A FUNERAL FOR REGRET Kiss regret goodbye. Have a burial service for whatever is nagging you. Take 20 seconds and pray this funeral prayer: Lord, I thank you that this sin or mistake of my past is dead and gone. You have removed it and forgotten it, therefore so do I! I shake it off and commit it to You." And thus concludes this funeral service for your past!:

SAY THIS TO YOUR PAST I am a new creation in Christ Jesus; and no matter how bad my past is, it’s not only forgiven—it’s washed away!  I am more than a conqueror, and I will not be pushed around by memories or people from my past. Because of the blood of Jesus, i been set free and made new . I am not guilty. I shake off my past. I declare it is over, and I expect God will turn my situation around for good in some miraculous way, in Jesus’ Name. 

CLOSING PRAYER: 

Father,  Thank you for your amazing power and work in our lives. This morning, help us to trust you to meet our every need. Help us to let our past go and have a funeral service for it and burying it. 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, 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 and 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. It’s In the Mighty Name of JESUS, I pray  Amen!
