Fasting
I just finished my quiet time with my awesome Lord. for my quiing et time I am using a book titles "A Prayer Journey With the Apostle Paul". It focuses in on Paul's Journey from praying as a 'See me, hear me' Pharisee to having an awesome, deep prayer based relationship with my God. Today the verses were Acts 13:1-3. This is Paul's appointment by God to spread the word. At the end, the author made an awesome point. It is as follows:
"It was when they fasted that God led them as a group to this new venture which would bring the gospel of Jesus out of the jewish ghetto and into the gentile world. God made it plain to them that they should release their two most gifted leaders to do overseas. What a contrast this is to the modern church. How poverty-stricken our fellowship, how weak our prayer and fasting! As a result, how uncertain we are of the guidance of God, and how slow to take up imaginative initiatives."
Just a bit of something for people to think about till I update again.
