21 Days of Prayer and Fasting Begins January 2, 2020!

(Begins January 2, 2020)

Our Prayer:

“If only you would greatly bless me and increase my territory.
May your power go with me to keep me from trouble,
so as not to cause me pain.”
And God granted his request.” 
(1 Chronicles 4:10, CEB)

Our Passion:

That God would pour out an ABUNDANCE of His blessing and power

SO THAT we can …

  • Glorify His name!
  • Accomplish His will!
  • Expand His Kingdom!
  • Brag about His presence!

Our Plan:

We plan to DAY fast for 21 days,

crying out to King Jesus for His Expansion in EVERY area of our lives!

Day Fast: No food from SUNRISE to SUNSET. Liquids are based on personal convictions and preferences. (Doc will take water, coffee, or tea throughout daylight hours.)

21 Days: We will fast EVERY day for 3 weeks, beginning January 2, 2020.

Crying out to King Jesus: Each day there will be a TARGET area for prayer, revolving around the THEME of the week. There will be areas for us to ASK God for insight into as well as time for us to POUR OUT our soul before the Lord THROUGHOUT the day and ESPECIALLY during the time we would NORMALLY be eating.

For His Expansion: We believe 2020 is a year of great expansion for those who will trust and believe that our God is “the God who gives life to the dead and calls things that don’t exist into existence.” (Romans 4:17, CEB) Therefore, we will CRY OUT to King Jesus to CALL INTO EXISTENCE the things that DO NO EXIST at this moment but have been IN OUR HEARTS AND SPIRITS to see come to life!

In EVERY area of our lives: We are aware that when some area of our lives is excluded from God’s reach and control, ALL of our life is affected. SO, we will ask God to EXPAND every area of our lives in 2020 … VISIBLY EXPAND every area of our lives SO THAT THOSE AROUND US will see and GLORIFY GOD by His visible manifestation of power!

More is coming very soon!

Hope For Today – God Is With Us to Accomplish His Will!

I don’t know about you but I LOVE my maps app on my smartphone! When I want to go somewhere, it not only tells me where to go but it also tells me why it’s taking so long! I especially love the colored maps so I can see where there is traffic and where things are flowing free.

Hope For Today – Praising God’s Power!

When God breaks in and breaks through our enemies, a celebration is the natural result! Worship each weekend is supposed to be a time when we celebrate the victories God has brought about in our lives during the past week. Unfortunately, many of the saints we sit with seem to have lost their battles … or are holding on in some form of desperate “last stand” position!

Hope For Today – Enjoying God’s Defense!

All too often we forget that God loves us so much that He longs to defend us … that He’s willing to fight our battles! He is a good Father. He sees those who are arrayed against us. He hears their cutting remarks. He listens to their subdued conversations around the table … you know the ones I mean. When we walk up they quiet down and then stumble to change the subject. Later they will go one with their schemes and their assassinations of our character. But .. God .. what does He do about this?

Hope For Today – Appreciating God’s Vindication!

Reality. It’s hard to find it when we come to a Church or a Bible message these days. There’s a lot of, “God loves you” – which is so, so true! But, what about the evil all around us? What about the injustice? What does God DO about that kind of thing? Especially when we are the victims of such a heinous and malicious attack? Does He do anything?

Details are on our website, just click either tab, Israel or Egypt!

Hope For Today – Trusting In God’s Vengeance!

 

Evil exists … and we often don’t have to go far to experience it. Sad to say, many of us live with an extended family that contains some evil people. Your mind may have immediately pictured an Aunt or a nephew. Then there are those outside our family. The fact is, evil is all too familiar to far too many of us. But what do we do about the evil that surrounds and attacks us all too often?

Hope For Today – Praising God’s Incredible Protection!

 

Everyone loves to win! At our church, when we fellowship on Friday or Sunday nights, someone often brings out the chess board or the Monopoly game – or both! Of course, in every game there will be a winner and there will be some losers. And, let’s be honest, who likes to lose?

Hope For Today – Walking Securely In God’s Faithful Love!

Editor’s Note: Yes, we are behind in posting these … you can imagine the wedding, honeymoon, and an “iffy” internet here in Uganda. We are now catching up! Thanks for the prayers for us! 

Before I drive away I put my GPS on. Since I live in LA, traffic is ALWAYS an issue. Just because I KNOW the way doesn’t mean I want to GO that way. As patterns change because of accidents and congestion, I want someone who can guide me through the safest route to my destination.

Hope for Today – Rejoicing In God’s Presence!

Editor’s Note: This was delayed to be posted because of the wedding preparations and an “iffy” internet connection (was supposed to be up on August 11, 2019). Please accept our apologies. Thank you!

Have you noticed how many people today are just plain angry? They are angry about everything! Someone cuts them off on the road, they yell. When someone else doesn’t do things “their way”, they throw the cold shoulder. I was in a store this past week and picked up a divider for the items on the delivery belt and the lady in front of me called me rude!
