It is Wednesday! We are 75% of the way there. You should be proud of yourself! Your life is changing and you should be hearing the Lord more clearly, your understanding of His direction in your life will become more clear every day.
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 53:5
But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.
Romans 8:6,7,9
So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace. 7For the sinful nature is always hostile to God. It never did obey God’s laws, and it never will. But you are not controlled by your sinful nature. You are controlled by the Spirit if you have the Spirit of God living in you.
What do these scriptures say about our living in peace? Does God's Spirit control 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 health and healing blessings. God is on the move in our church with healing just this past Sunday Rosalie shared how the Lord had opened her ear so she no longer needs a hearing aid. This is only a beginning. I am asking for health as well because healing will not be necessary if we are all in great health. Sometimes the Lord wants to speak to us about the way we eat, rest, exercise, and handle stress. these are all very practical things that the Lord can give us wisdom about to keep us healthy.
- Pray for Pastor Gary and Kathy. It is such a blessing to have the depth of understanding of the word and strength of character that we have in our leadership team. When you say Man of your word, you should think of Pastor Gary together they are a couple full of the love of God and love for each other and they freely share that with others. Their hearts for the sick and hurting have given them a great desire to see the wounded healed, that is why you will see them often if you are ever in the hospital. Together they also have a strong heart to mentor and see people become who the Lord has called them to be. Pray for them they are a wonderful example of the Lord always have a great plan for our lives.
- Pray for the Spirit of Peace in our culture. There is a bumper sticker I have seen on numerous occasions that reads Know Him Know Peace, No Him, No Peace. It is so true! As you are reading Holiness, Truth and the Presence of God you are finding a clear way to knowing the Lord. Allow His peace to reign in your heart and share that with a world who does not know Him and you will see a change where you live, shop, eat, and /or work.
- Pray for one family in our church. perhaps someone who either their first or last name begins with "S". Pray that the Lord would bless and encourage them in some way today!
