40 Days to Better You! Day 11


January 11

Tonight is church night and we always have a great time. I hope you are looking forward to it!

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.

Philippians 4:19,20

And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.

When we give of our time, talent, energy, gifts, and finances God will bless. How do you think the Lord wants to bless you today?

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 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 your neighbors on the left side. These are the people we are closest to in proximity but many really don't spend any time talking with them. God has placed you in your neighborhood. Pray for your neighbors look for opportunities to bless them, not so much with your words as your actions

         - Pray for the Spirit of Joy to take a primary role in our culture. The scripture says in Nehemiah that the Joy of the Lord is our strength. There is a weakness in our culture, people do not know their call or purpose and thus do not know real joy. Depression over takes them because they don't know joy!
         
          - Pray for one family in our church. it could be any family at all. Pray that the Lord would bless and encourage them in some way today!
