🙏 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting 🙏

Today is January 22, 2021 and Week 2, Day 12 of our 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting. Our Prayer Focus today is, “Victory Over The Enemy” — 1 Corinthians 10:1-6.

“Brothers and sisters, I want you to know what happened to our ancestors who followed Moses. They were all under the cloud and all went through the sea. (2)They were all baptized as followers of Moses in the cloud and in the sea. (3)They all ate the same spiritual food, (4)and all drank the same spiritual drink. They drank from that spiritual rock that followed them, and that rock was Christ. (5)But God was not pleased with most of them, so they died in the desert. (6)And these things happened as examples for us, to stop us from wanting evil things as those people did.” — 1 Corinthians‬ ‭10:1-6‬ (NCV‬‬)

As you continue, today, on your 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting, I want you to meditate on the verses above. Notice that the same people who fell away from God, and died in the desert, were people who were being led, and fed, by Father God.

How do we have Victory Over The Enemy? We Stay Faithful To Jesus!

How is your heart today? What do you catch yourself thinking about?

Yes, you attend church. Yes, you read the Bible. Yes, you even pray some.

Hear me! It’s not just, “Christian activity,” that you’re needing. You need a real, ongoing relationship with the Lord, Jesus Christ!

During this Prayer and Fasting season, please don’t just go through the motions. Seriously, seek out a divine relationship with Jesus; and after that, then you can seek out His blessings for your life.

I’m so proud of you for your dedication to these 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting. I want to encourage you to Keep Up The Great Faith Work.

‼️ I assure you … Jesus is hearing your prayers ‼️

I’m praying for you, today, and loving you!

Sincerely,

— Pastor Gene

~ Good Morning!

Our Bible Verse, for today, is found in Jeremiah 29:13.

For a clearer understanding of the verse, I’ve posted it in the English Standard Version and the Amplified Version.

• Jeremiah‬ ‭29:13 •

“You will seek Me and find Me, when you seek Me with all your heart.” (ESV‬‬)

“Then [with a deep longing] you will seek Me and require Me [as a vital necessity] and [you will] find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.” (AMP‬‬)

When coming to Father God, it will always have to be with a humble, pure, and sincere heart.

To the woman at the well, in John 4:23, Jesus said …

“But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him.” (ESV)‬‬

✝️ In Truth, with Purity, in Sincerity, having Integrity, by the Spirit, with all our hearts — these are the ways in which we are to approach, and seek after, the Lord. — The flippant, arrogant, insincere prayer will never gain the listening ear of our Lord. ✝️

The Lord bless you as you genuinely seek after the Him today.

Sincerely,

— Pastor Gene

21 DAYS of PRAYER and FASTING

Today is Week 1, Day 6 of Family Life’s 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting.

Our Prayer Focus today is, “Experiencing Him” — 2 Corinthians 3:16-18.

“Yes, to this day whenever Moses is read a veil lies over their hearts. (16)But when one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed. (17)Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. (18)And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.” — 2 Corinthians‬ ‭3:15-18‬ ‭(ESV‬)

~ Good Morning:

It’s been a while since I’ve posted. I have COVID-19. Please keep me in your prayers.

Our Bible verse for today is …

• Isaiah‬ ‭57:15 •

“Our holy God lives forever in the highest heavens, and this is what He says: Though I live high above in the holy place, I am here to help those who are humble and depend only on Me.” (CEV‬‬)

This is a simple Word from our Lord.

✝️ He lives in the high and holy places.

✝️ He deals with matters that move heaven and earth.

✝️ Yet, He lowers, and humbles Himself, to deal with the simple matters within mere human beings such as us.

‼️ What Awesome & Mighty God We Serve ‼️

🙏 Never neglect to call upon the Lord. 🙏

Sincerely,

— Pastor Gene

~ Good Morning and Happy New Year!!!

Following is the Bible passage that I have chosen for you today:

• 2 Corinthians‬ ‭5:17-18 •

“Anyone who belongs to Christ is a new person. The past is forgotten, and everything is new. (18)God has done it all! He sent Christ to make peace between himself and us, and He has given us the work of making peace between Himself and others.” (CEV‬‬)

There are two things that I want to impress upon you today …

1.) Verse 17 — ACCEPT JESUS‼️

Make Jesus the Lord of your life. Become the “new person” that Jesus wants you to be. Let the past be over, and look forward to the new future that Jesus has for you.

2.) Verse 18 — SHARE JESUS‼️

Father God created the peace between Him and us, and He wants us to continue this message of salvation, and peace, with everyone else.

Jesus has chosen each of us to save us, and He has told us to tell others about Him.

What a wonderful way to begin a new year; to make Jesus Lord of your life, and to begin to boldly tell others about Him.

May the Lord restore in you, the joy of your salvation, and May He give you a holy boldness to share Him with others.

Sincerely,

— Pastor Gene
