January 22
You should be starting to experience a spiritual freedom and joy that the Lord brings as we seek Him. You should also be feeling a little freedom from stiffness and physical limitations as you have been moving a bit more. This is the time when most people give up on the New year's resolutions. I hope this has not been a resolution to you but instead a commitment to preparing for all that the Lord has for you!
1) Please remember to choose something to stop doing.

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 Corinthians 9:8
And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.
Philippians 4:19
And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Mark 11:24
Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.
God wants to be your source of everything, what do you need to trust Him for today? What does it mean to you that He will supply according to His riches?
5) Please pray about the following items

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. I know I asks you to pray this yesterday but in light of the scriptures I had you read today I though some may have difficulty believing that god wants to be their source. Praying an overcoming blessing will help you to believe you can overcome. 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 the Spirit of Patience in our culture, especially with parents with their children and husbands and wives toward each other. There is a real struggle for people to listen to one another and hear one another. We are all too busy with so many other things that must get done but next to the Lord our most important priority should be our spouses and our children.
- Pray for one family in our church. perhaps someone who either their first or last name begins with "H". Pray that the Lord would bless and encourage them in some way today!
