40 Days to a Better You! Day 28

January 28

It is Monday! It is time for a new week and a fresh start! God's mercies are new every morning expect new mercies today!

1) Please remember to choose something to stop doing. 

Whether it is.... 

- a bad habit

- a sin you have struggled with, or

- some kind of food or drink that you know is not good for you.

Whatever it is break free over this next 40 days

2) Keep reading Grace Walk and/or Holiness, Truth and the Presence of God

3) Get some kind of exercise - Go for a walk, park farther away from the store or the office. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Find some way to help you physical body work    harder and better for you.

4) Read the following Scriptures and think and pray about it through out the day. See what revelation the Lord will give you about it for you day, week, year, or life.

2 Chronicles 16:9a

For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him.

Psalm 61:3

For You have been a shelter for me, A strong tower from the enemy.

1 Peter 3:12,13


For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their prayers; but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.

The Lord is your guardian, protector and the one who wants to bless you, Do you allow Him to be your guardian? What ways are you protecting or defending yourself when He wants to do a better job? How do these verses encourage you today regarding some of the situations you are facing?



5) Please pray about the following items

In the Lord's prayer we are told to ask first for our daily bread

- Pray today and every day during our fast, a prayer of thanksgiving to God for what He has done for you!

- Pray for your overcoming blessing. There is much that we will go through as Christians and the Lord promises to cause us to overcome in them all. Believe the Lord for blessings that in every situation you would be, as the Bible promises, more than a conquerer.

 - Pray for Pastor Don and his wife Linda. They are new to us but are already impacting a number of folks in the church. He has a true pastors heart and Linda has a heart of gold. Take time to get to know them but pray for them that everything falls into place and that his counseling and their pastoral gifts are refreshed and blessed.  

         - Pray for the Spirit of Love in our culture. God is Love. He is not only the author and founder of Love as a character trait but it is who He is. There is so much more about real love that we don't yet grasp but I believe as we pray that the Lord will reveal it to us in very powerful ways and enable us to become fully engaged with our culture, through His love.

          - Pray for one family in our church. perhaps someone who either their first or last name begins with "O" and "P". Pray that the Lord would bless and encourage them in some way today!
