Today's Meeting and Revival

Thank God for a great time in the Lord today. The Holy Spirit was very evident in our midst wooing and leading us into a time of intensive prayer and fasting. We have been challenged to join in the 21 day Daniel fast beginning January 1 through the 21st. Some may fast a "total fast." Others may fast a "partial fast" (liquid only or lighter diet). Others may fast intermittently (one meal a day, or a day or two at a time). We are simply fasting to the Lord and desiring HIM and what He wants for us.

The following is part of today's message.

•Some reasons why should we fast?
•1. We fast in obedience to Jesus’ teaching. (Matt. 6:16-18)
•2. We fast to demonstrate our dependence upon God. (James 4:10, 1Cor 9:24-27)
•3. We fast to demonstrate repentance from sin (and to intercede for others who need to repent). (Jonah 3:5-10, Daniel 9, Nehemiah 1)
•4. We fast to receive God’s wisdom and direction. (Acts 13:1-3, 14:21-23)
•5. We fast to receive deliverance in times of crisis. (2Chronicles 20).

We fast to God and for His good pleasure.

We are seeking God for revival and for reaching out to the lost.

SCHEDULED REVIVAL: Revival is tentatively scheduled for February 27, 28 and March 1 with Tennessee State Evangelist Tim Farmer.
