Let the fasting begin!!
As most of you know the 40 day fast starts today. (if you don't know get info here: http://www.ihop.org/Publisher/Article.aspx?ID=1000014470)
We are contending for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit in America and around the world as we fast 40 days to end abortion, turn our backs on baal and re-marry Jesus.
So most of the TWT core team will be fasting these 40 days but i want to keep posting regularily to keep ya'll informed and to keep this page running at full speed.
The focus this week is simple: Set our hearts and our standards on God and fast and pray for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit in each of our individual lives. We need to set our hopes and prayers high and move forward in confidence that God will meet us there.
Where do you want to be with in your walk with God? How can you acheive a maximum relationship with Him walking perfectly, 100% in your calling and knowing the full extend of the riches and the glory of His calling??
I'm sure we all have idea's and longings to reach the fullness of what God has for us and to find the fullness of Him within us (in every sence of the way) and nows the time to walk into that.
So for this week we will defign our prayers and search God's heart finding answeres and reaching forward in fasting and prayer, rending our hearts, to know Him and follow Him.

Have fun this week!

Its Go Time
Hello,
This week for TVVT we'll be focusing on walking/talking to the Spirit. Over the last few months I’ve been learning how important it is to be in touch with the Spirit.
And as we all know while we fast we open doors for the Spirit to move in our lives and we allow ourselves more opportunity to hear from Him. When its all said and done we need to have knowledge of God. And throughout the day its important to know what’s on His heart and what He is saying to us. The Holy Spirit is a real person who we need to get to know. The same way we talk to God the Father and Jesus we need to address the Holy Spirit and invite Him into our lives so that He can take us to a deeper relationship with God and to learn the leadership of our Lord Jesus better.Our focus verse this week comes from Philippians 1:27
Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or remain absent, I will hear of you standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel...
I was reading through Philippians and this verse totally jumped off the page and reminded me the importance of the gospel and how Christ has called us to pick up our cross daily and follow Him. This verse also highlighted the importance of staying in one mind and spirit with our fellow believers as we press on to live according to the word and press on in our faith. I believe that this verse was an invitation for us in TVVT to press on together focused on our calling in Christ and to invite the Spirit to move in our lives, leading us and guiding us to a deeper relationship with our Lord.I'll end with a little prayer a wrote just a little while back. Enjoy! and have fun this week!!
Lead Me On
A single whisper
Or a thought in my head
A word form the Lord
Is what the Spirit said
Father teach me to hear Your voice
Show me how to follow Your way
Whether I'm here in Your house or out on the street
I need to hear the words you Say
Then I will walk in the light
And I'll be attentive to Your voice
Knowing in any precious moment
I'll turn to You and make the right choice
Amen

If we fast together now We'll feast together in the age to come...
Hey gang,
This week we'll be fasting and praying as usual, but we'll be putting a little swing on things. A friend suggested to me that doing a negative-fast would be a fun idea. So we said that we would try and cut all negative talk out of our daily conversations and that every time we said something negative we would have to Hallel.
Hallel is a form of Jewish worship that basically means; to act foolishly before God. It is a form of praise and when in context of being adressed to people in regards to worshiping God it was a command and something the people had to do.
So i'd encourage you to take this week and engage in our negative-fast with us! Its a great way to feel the joy of the Lord, especially when add in a Hallel every here and then when you slip up.
Also i just want to remind and encourage you all with a little fun bit of revelation God gave me on this group. Back when we 1st started this fasting team i was in a prep room engaging in tounges and focusing on God and he brought up something i had said at one of our first meetings:
"If we fast together now We'll be feasting together in the age to come."
He reminded me of what i had said and put a level of seriousness to it. I truely believe that if we continue to fast together throughout our lives we will truely be sitting with eachother at the Bridgroom Feast (Marriage supper of the Lamb) in the millenial kingdom.
So be encouraged and God Bless!!!!
Prayer Requests:
Oscar on his trip
Healing for Vanessa's eye

Lets Get It On!!
Hey yall!
So after God put it on my heart, and after last nights FCF i felt it was time to re-birth TVVT. The last few weeks we havn't had any meetings or prayer focuses, and i know all the FITN kids have felt totally left out since thier new track started. So i appologize and after talking to a few people and having some revelation on our fast group i've decided to kick it up again. I felt that overall a gang mentality had overtaken TVVT and people were fasting just cause they said they would... or that people just weren/t fasting at all. Those may have been wrong presumtions of the group but also i just felt that the overall longing to fast and come to meetings and continue the group were decreasing. So now instead of hosting group meetings to fast every week, i'll just be posting prayer requests and weekly bible verse focuses on here, like how we would discuss at regular weekly meetings. Also now it gives more freedom to fast as often as you'd like. Instead of feeling completely held to the group religiously you can be a part of the group and take it in stride as often as you want, knowing that i'll be posting every week and knowing there will be people fasting and praying every week. Also i'll have a description of this fast team in our profile so if you spur others on to fast and join the team just give em the web site and tell them to check the profile so anyone could join and fasting just by visiting our blog! w00t!!
Anyways so for this week we're just gunna hit this up old school with a few major prayer requests and focus more on the GBF. Next week we'll kick it into high gear. if you want to give me any prayer requests or if God's been impacting on your heart lately e-mail me your thoughts and i'll post so that we can have a group focus!! my e-mail is andrewgusztak@hotmail.com Thanks!!! love you guys! Be Blessed!
