40 Days to a Better You! Day 39


February 8

Next to the last day! It is also Paige's birthday. You have almost made it. I can't wait to see what is up next for all of those who were actively  participating in the fast! Be excited

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.

Ephesians 3:19,20

"to know also the love of the Christ that is exceeding the knowledge, that ye may be filled -- to all the fulness of God; 20 and to Him who is able above all things to do exceeding abundantly what we ask or think, according to the power that is working in us,"

Daniel 11:32

"...but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits."

What kind of exciting, amazing things do you think the Lord has planned for you? How big can you dream about the great things God can do through 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 every blessing! For these last two days expect every blessing, prosperity, household salvation, health, fruitfulness, and overcoming. Let's go out with a bang and expect great things! God is more than enough for each and every one of us and will do great things as we expect them!

 - Pray for the church as a whole. Many participated in the fast and daily read the blogs and worked along side us and some did not. Pray that those who have fasted will be able to help those who have not, to be on the same page and to come to the place of strength and growth where those who have fasted have come. The simple disciplines of being in the word, praying, exercise, and walking away from something that controlled you, will bring a freedom that the others will need and desire as they see it in you. We are one body and need to flow as one to have the impact the Lord wants through us.

         - Pray for the Spirit of Joy in our region and our church. I am praying that laughter and contentment will be in every home in our church and region. I am believing for great  joy to come as we all are walking in grace and freedom and helping others to do the same!

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