40 Days to a better you!


January 13

It is Sunday again what a joy to be together with all of the family! When you are gathering for a football game whether it is with friends in your home or at the stadium, you prepare, you are excited about your team, you have prepared food and mentally for the game. You are excited by game time. I hope you are excited for waht the Lord is going to do Sunday!

Please pray for the Vangura family. Matt is one of our Elders and his Father passed away suddenly this morning. 

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.

Luke 12:29 - 31

And do not seek what you should eat or what you should drink, nor have an anxious mind. 30 For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that you need these things. 31 But seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you.

How much do you worry about the "things" of life? What would it look life in your life to put God first? How much more do you think God has for you as you trust Him?

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 wholeness blessings. There is a place of wholeness both body, mind, and spirit that the Lord would like us to live. I place where we are in complete harmony with Him. A Place where all fear, worry, anxiety, brokenness, sickness and disease are brought under control and His blessing of wholeness rest in our lives.

- Pray for your the worship team. Jon Kozik, Joyce Vivio, Brett Lincoln and the Sunday and Friday night worship teams sacrifice much time and energy. They are always seeking the Lord for what He wants for each service. The pressure and warfare at times can be intense. Pray for their hearts to always be aligned with His heart for each service. Pray that they see blessings where they need it because of their great sacrifice.
         - Pray for the Spirit of Patience in our culture. Families break up because of a lack of Patience. Children's lives are changed for ever because of a leader in their life having a lack of patience. Many accidents happen because of a lack of patience.
         
          - 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!
