June 12-14

Another week...
This week we'll be focusing on Isaiah 58:3 which reads:
Why have we fasted and You do not see?
Why have we humbled ourselves and You do not notice?
Behold, on the day of your fast you find your desire,
And drive hard all your workers
Well its day 15 of the 40 day fast... and America and a lot of the rest of the world is still goin hard at this thing. Its getting to the place however that you start to think that it just might not be worth it. Every person who partakes in an extended fast has a great opportunity to tap into humility. Even fasting 3 days a week as our group does sounds crazy to the rest of the world, and causes partakers of the weekly fast to really search themselves and make up thier mind about why the are doing this and is it really worth it in the end? is it worth going through the physical, mental and spiritual obsticals of not eating for a long period of time...
Well i say that it is! And as we fast we can humble ourselves in the sight of the Lord and press on to know His heart and search the Spirit to reveal God's desires to us, and to make them a reality in our lives. So this week we are pressing on in the 40 day fast to make our desires known to us, and to press on for another week in TVVT to bring ourselves closer to God the Father through His Spirit in the Knowledge of Jesus Christ. Also along with the reality that this is God's heart for us, we'll come to know realities that will deepen our relationship with Him helping us break free from sin and encounter His love all the more. So lets get ourselves up there before the throne of grace and really focus on God and search ourselves one more time to get our realities straight... knowing this is the upside down kingdom and something like fasting really is worth is, and pays off in the end.
