[QUOTE="Anthonette, post: 28477067, member: 22162"] Ok. Good morning all. Are we ready for this. I believe that we will all have breakthroughs. During this time. How big and how much is up to you. As we start our fast. I would like for each of us to write a commitment in our journal that we commit to this two day fast. (Or longer if you feel lead to). Write what u are fasting from. And why you want are fasting. (If u are not fasting write a commitment to the 40 days and why. Or both) Fasting is very personal. It is between you and God. It is not a hunger strike to get what you want. As we know God is no Genie. It is a time to sacrifice to God. It is a chance to focus on our relationship with our heavenly Father. Sometimes there are strongholds on us that can only be broken through Prayer and fasting. (Matthew 17:21) We all have things that we personally have to battle with daily. We have issues. All of us. And taking them to God is how to deal with them. So the strongholds I would like us to start our prayer time with are the strong holds we have on our selves. Whether it be and addiction, unforgiving, a lack of love or empathy, whatever it is let us give it to God today. Let us leave it at the altar. Some of you may be saying I thought this was prayers for our marriage and fasting for our marriage. It is. We have to present ourselves before the Lord before we can begin to intercede for our loved ones or others. So today our first exercise in our journal (after the fasting promise) will be what we need to surrender to God. I know it is hard to surrender things to God and leave them there. I fight with it every day. I always feel I need to do something to move it along. I have to reach out. I have to ..... Each of us fill in the blank. We have to surrender it to God. Even if we have to do it daily. If u do not know what you have not given totally over to God ask him to show you. It may be un forgiveness, a bitter feeling towards the other person or in-laws and family members. It may be a judgmental attitude that you are right and they are wrong. It may be something you have already handed over but unknownly picked it back up again because of a new circumstance. It may be anger or loneliness. David says it best in Psalms 139:24-23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: 24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. (KJV) We have to continually do this. Lastly for this Morning. Write any prayer you have for Today. Anything you need for today. No matter how small. Also write anything you are thankful for today and some praises to God. For he is worthy and deserves it. Amen. If you still have time or at some point today. Find a verse or scripture text reading. Anything out of the bible and read and meditate on it for a few minutes, then write a little bit about what you got from it, how it made you feel. Anything. (We will do these every day). I am glad you all are with me on this journey. God has promised us great things as we diligently seek him with all of our hearts. See u all tonight. Anthonette. Father God as we start on this Journey to get closer to you and intercede for our spouses. Hold is and keep us. We know that this journey will be rough, because anytime you children move closer to you the enemy gets jealous. Well God Satan will be getting angry with us over the next 40 day (and longer). Build us up and cover us in the safety of your wings. Look within us Lord and cleanse us of anything we need to surrender and give us the endurance to fight the good Fight . In Jesus Name Amen.
