We're in the middle of our month to Start Fast '09.
We, as a church, have fasted sweets last week, dairy this week, and will continue with a fast of breads beginning Sunday.
Each week we are targeting different areas of life to go with the fast, believing God for breakthrough and advances in these areas.
Last week we prayed for direction regarding 2009, this week it is the relationships of our lives, next week it's money and resources. The Sunday messages coincide with the area of life and the fast for the next week, so it's all pretty covered as far as everyone being on the same page.
With that, one point I'm excited to make in the middle of this abstaining from certain food groups for a week at a time, is the aspect of agreement and unity we are experiencing as a church. A little bit of discipline goes a long way. It blesses God when we flow together, unified for purpose and in agreement for the overall Heavenly nature this life of God offers us all.
I personally encouraged that God has set this up for us to come together and do something great for Him.
Stay strong,
Pastor Bill
