40 Days to a Better You! Day 21


January 21

It is Monday time to start a fresh week. It is also the start of the second half of our 40 days to a better you!  


This week is another opportunity for the Lord to do amazing things in and through you. How is reading of Grace Walk and Holiness, Truth, and the Presence of God coming? We are all literally on the same page as we are reading together.

If you have been doing all these things you should be feeling and seeing a difference in you spiritual and physical life!

Pray for President Obama and his family and our nation as the official inauguration takes place 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.

Isaiah 43:2


When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you.

Psalm 3:3


But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, my glory and the One who lifts up my head.

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.

What is it that you need the Lord to defend you or protect you from? The Lord promises defense and protection always as we trust Him in what areas do you need to believe for this in your life?

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 Paula Miller and all the folks who are weekly interceding for all of us. Our intercession teams have been faithful for years to constantly pray for every family in the church as well as needs in our region and the world. They are sacrificing their time to pray for us so please lift them up in prayer today.

         - Pray for the Spirit of Peace in our culture. Peace is the absence of fear and the absence of chaos. Peace, like love, is not just a feeling but a person. We carry peace with us, Ephesians   6 tells us that everywhere we walk we have the power to bring peace. Pray for peace to be everywhere we go and in everything we do so people might come to know the Prince of Peace.

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