40 Days to a better you Day 5




January 5


Day 5 should be a sort of "over the hump" day. You have made it through one of the most difficult challenges, the first few days of the change, and are on the move! Keep going only 35 days to a better you! 

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 Scripture 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.

Isaiah 40:29 - 31

He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. Even youths will become weak and tired,and young men will fall in exhaustion. But those who trust in the LORD will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.

Weakness is never a problem with the Lord. Think about the areas of struggle in your life and allow Christ to pour through you to bring you above your circumstances.


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 everyday during our fast a prayer of thanksgiving to God for what He has done for you!

- Pray for your fruitfulness blessings, that the Lord will continue to break us free of everything that  would hinder or stop our fruitfulness! The Father desires for us to bear fruit. Because we are in the Vine it is unnatural for us to not bear fruit. Expect fruitfulness in all that you do!

- Pray for our teachers both those in our schools and in our church. They spend time preparing and serving the people of our community with little or no encouragement. Ask that the Lord would reveal his great love and plan for each one of them. In return they will be able to pour out that love into our kids.

         - Pray for the Patience to overwhelm our area. So many accidents on the highway and arguments are caused by a lack of patience. Basic rudeness is running rampant in our culture. pray that this portion of the fruit of the Spirit would return in our lives and the lives of those around us. Patience is really away of honoring and preferring others over ourselves
