40 Days to a Better You! Day 24

January 24

It is Thursday another day of God's goodness and grace being poured out on all of us! Look forward to what the Lord is going to do 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.

Mark 16: 17,18

And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.

What does it mean to you that you believe? What kind of signs follow you now and what signs do you want to follow you?

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 household salvation blessing. The Philippian jailer found, because of his faith in the Lord, his entire household came to the Lord; children, parents, servants, and extended family all came to the Lord. If there is someone in your family or extended family who does not know the Lord believe with me that they will come to Christ.

- Pray for the singles in our church. It is harder to be single in this culture. There is so much pressure to be sexually active and there is so much pressure to simply be with somebody when the Lord may be calling people to focus completely on Him. Some times God wants us to wait until we are completely ready to be in a relationship or until the person we are to be in relationship with is ready. Feeling lonely is a hard and dangerous place to be. Pray that all of our singles, regardless of age will see the Lord meeting them with their every need.

         - Pray for the Spirit of Meekness in our culture. Jesus said that He is lowly and meek. There is no way to truly be like Jesus apart from meekness. Once again it is recognizing all the power, authority, strength, and talent that we each have and surrendering them to the Lord, using them at His command and His command only.

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