Believe God. Day Sixteen (16): ”
Beloved, Grace and Peace be unto you from God our Father and from the LORD Jesus Christ. Today is January 19th and it is day number sixteen (16). You are really in count down mode now. You can see the end in sight and I just wanted to congratulate you on doing this awesome thing. God is already showing himself strong during this fast and I am thrill to be on this journey with you.

Today I just wanted to encourage you to hang in there and believe God. The Apostle Paul teaches us how to obtain the promises God. I know that God in his word has promised us some things and I want to obtain what God promised me. Let’s look at the text:

NLT
Gal. 3:20 Now a mediator is needed if two people enter into an agreement, but God acted on his own when he made his promise to Abraham.
Gal. 3:21 ¶ Well then, is there a conflict between God’s law and God’s promises? Absolutely not! If the law could have given us new life, we could have been made right with God by obeying it.
Gal. 3:22 But the Scriptures have declared that we are all prisoners of sin, so the only way to receive God’s promise is to believe in Jesus Christ.

Paul teaches us that we do not get the promises of God because we deserve them; we get what God promises because we believe in Christ. Our faith ratifies our expectation. This is great news because all our lives we have been in relationships where promises are dependent on works. I will love you, if you give me this or that. I will keep my promise if you pay a certain amount. Paul tells us that the faith that God gives us needs to be in operation in our lives in order to receive the promises of God. The only way to receive God’s promise is to believe in Jesus. Do you have a promise? Has God-given you a promise? You have a bible full of promises. The word of God is your book of promises; the question is do you believe in Christ enough to expect to receive his promises? As you are praying, believe God for an answer. As you are going through your prayer list believe God for those things. God will honor his word if you believe.

Remember, do one more day. Just do today. God will take of tomorrow. He promised he would. Drink all the water you can and be encouraged.

Yours Because I am His,
Leo Colon

    I can’t believe it’s day 16!!! this journey is teaching me a lot of self-discipline. It’s a fight not to eat a bowl of cereal or a burger and fries. But the momentary satisfaction isn’t worth it. I’m believing not only for the impossible but the reward which is ahead. Thanks for the post and encouragement. Day 21 here i come in Jesus name. Amen!!
