40 Days to a better You! Day 36


February 5

It is Tuesday! This is the last Tuesday of our fast. Expect great things. Faithfulness is a hard thing but because you have been faithful to reading, praying, and fasting prepare for blessing. When you seek Him you will find Him when you seek Him with all of your heart.


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.

1 John 5:4,5

For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. 5 Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

Mark 9:23

Jesus said to him, If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.

Hebrews 13:8

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. 

If we are called to be over-comers, and called to believe the impossible, and Jesus does not change then what does that mean to you today?

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 prosperity blessing. 3 John 1:2 tells us that we should prosper and be in health even as our souls prosper. People's minds automatically rush to finances when we talk of prosperity and your prosperity may very well involve finances as the scripture also tells us money answers all things (Ecclesiastes 10:19) but having people around you that love you could be what makes you prosper. Growing in the knowledge of God is what makes you prosper. Fulfilling your destiny could make you prosper. To be honest, I believe prosperity should touch every part of your life, allow it so others may see and ask why you are prospering.

 - Pray for all the the people in the Syrian Conflict. Many Christians have been imprisoned in Syria because of their faith especially conversions from Islam. The conflict has enabled Christians to reach into the refugee and bring the love of God to those who could not be reached in any other situation. God can use even a horrible conflict to reach people for the Kingdom. God did not cause the conflict, man did, but He will use it!

         - Pray for the Spirit of Gentleness in our culture. Gentleness is being kindly, caring and placing others before oneself. Jesus said that He was gentle and lowly. Following His example we can help lead people into a place of peace.

- Pray for one family in our church. Pray that the Lord would bless and encourage them in some way today!
