Anthonette
Humble Servant of All
Ok. Good morning all. Are we ready for this. I believe that we will all have
breakthroughs. During this time. How big and how much is up to you.
As we start our fast. I would like for each of us to write a commitment in
our journal that we commit to this two day fast. (Or longer if you feel lead
to). Write what u are fasting from. And why you want are fasting. (If u are
not fasting write a commitment to the 40 days and why. Or both)
Fasting is very personal. It is between you and God. It is not a hunger
strike to get what you want. As we know God is no Genie. It is a time to
sacrifice to God.
It is a chance to focus on our relationship with our heavenly Father.
Sometimes there are strongholds on us that can only be broken through Prayer
and fasting. (Matthew 17:21) We all have things that we personally have to
battle with daily. We have issues. All of us. And taking them to God is how
to deal with them.
So the strongholds I would like us to start our prayer time with are the
strong holds we have on our selves. Whether it be and addiction,
unforgiving, a lack of love or empathy, whatever it is let us give it to God
today. Let us leave it at the altar.
Some of you may be saying I thought this was prayers for our marriage and
fasting for our marriage. It is. We have to present ourselves before the
Lord before we can begin to intercede for our loved ones or others.
So today our first exercise in our journal (after the fasting promise) will
be what we need to surrender to God.
I know it is hard to surrender things to God and leave them there. I fight
with it every day. I always feel I need to do something to move it along. I
have to reach out. I have to ..... Each of us fill in the blank. We have to
surrender it to God. Even if we have to do it daily.
If u do not know what you have not given totally over to God ask him to show
you. It may be un forgiveness, a bitter feeling towards the other person or
in-laws and family members. It may be a judgmental attitude that you are
right and they are wrong. It may be something you have already handed over
but unknownly picked it back up again because of a new circumstance. It may
be anger or loneliness.
David says it best in Psalms 139:24-23 Search me, O God, and know my heart:
try me, and know my thoughts: 24 And see if there be any wicked way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting. (KJV)
We have to continually do this.
Lastly for this Morning. Write any prayer you have for Today. Anything you
need for today. No matter how small.
Also write anything you are thankful for today and some praises to God. For
he is worthy and deserves it. Amen.
If you still have time or at some point today. Find a verse or scripture
text reading. Anything out of the bible and read and meditate on it for a
few minutes, then write a little bit about what you got from it, how it made
you feel. Anything.
(We will do these every day).
I am glad you all are with me on this journey. God has promised us great
things as we diligently seek him with all of our hearts.
See u all tonight.
Anthonette.
Father God as we start on this Journey to get closer to you and intercede
for our spouses. Hold is and keep us. We know that this journey will be
rough, because anytime you children move closer to you the enemy gets
jealous. Well God Satan will be getting angry with us over the next 40 day
(and longer). Build us up and cover us in the safety of your wings. Look
within us Lord and cleanse us of anything we need to surrender and give us
the endurance to fight the good Fight .
In Jesus Name Amen.
