DANIEL FAST DAY ELEVEN

Congratulations!  We have made it to the mid-point of the fast.  Today has been a tough day for me with hunger yet a great day of hearing from the Lord.  I was reminded that God created the confusion we have in communication at the Tower of Babel and therefore communication is not good unless He is in the center of it.

The fast is about putting the Lord at the center of our lives and seeking Him.  Have you been hearing from Him?  What has He shown you?

God reminded me that our pain is a gift that He gives us to help us become like Him.  When we focus on Him, we are set free from our pain.  We are free to learn from it and even be blessed by it. 


Tonight at the Transmin Conference we were reminded that God called us to be salt and light.  The purpose we are here is to be witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea Samaria and to the ends of the earth.  What would someone say is the mission of our church if they observed what we do each Sunday?  The mission of every church is to be witnesses.  Are we?

We really need to examine our lives and see if we are doing what God called us to do.  Are we loving our neighbor like He wants?  Do we care about the people around us like He does?  This is part o the humbling that God has called us to in the Daniel Fast.  What do you think?

ENCOURAGEMENT FROM GOD'S WORD
Mark 10:27 NIV - "Jesus looked at them and said, 'With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.'"
God bless,
Pastor Bill
