Happy new year everyone!!

What a better way to bring in the new year then with a 3 day fast...

Matt 5:48

48Therefore you (put your name here ___) are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

This is a pretty heavy verse... how can I be prefect? I sin all the time!
Yes we are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked without Jesus.
But He looks at our heart and when we say "Yes!" to Him He sees only the indwelling Holy Spirit within us and the Father sees us covered by the blood of the Lamb and He sees us as perfect. The more we say "Yes!!!" the more He works in us to make us perfect.
So if we are perfect then why don't we act like it?!
This is faith and works in a nutshell.

Lets bring in the new year fasting and praying, believing that Jesus has saved us from all sin and that He is working in us while we have this "Yes!" in our hearts. Let us agree that He says we are prefect and lets act like it. The more I act on the beliefs I have the more the Lord will confirm them in my heart and in my life manifesting Himself through me making me perfect as my heavenly Father is perfect.
Fasting can help strengthen the YES and the faith we need to reach deep into Gods heart. The Holy Spirit will direct us there through this next year of fasting and prayer! The grace we need to achieve this is there!(2Cor 12:9) Lets take hold of what the Lord has for us!(Matt 11:12)
