Grace and Peace be multiplied unto you, through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus Christ our LORD.
Beloved, today is January 2nd, 2012. Happy New Year and welcome to this journey with God that we are embarking on. Starting today at 6:00 AM, we are engaging in a spiritual journey with the LORD. We will be fasting and praying for Twenty-one (21) Days. By fasting I mean will be eating one bowl of soup per day and drinking all the water we can drink daily. At the very least we expect to drink ten to twelve glasses of water per day. We are assembling our prayer list and committing to at least one hour of prayer daily. For more instructions on the fast, feel free to email me at pastor@ihpfwc.org. I am expecting to witness the miraculous among our ranks. I am expecting God to do incredible things, even though I cannot prove it, or see it. I want to encourage you to look out for not only the obvious and the mundane, but look for the miraculous with me. Let’s look at what the word of God says to us today.
NRSV
Heb. 11:3 By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was made from things that are not visible.
Beloved, the word of God tells us that the worlds, including this world we are living on today was prepared by the word of God. This world that we build our homes on, rely on for food and vegetation. This world where we take advantage of the air we breathe, the water we drink. The word of God says that all these things that we often take for granted, was prepared for us and is available to us, not because God was lucky, or had an awesome bank account, but by the “word of God”.
Your miracle does not need to be backed by a ready investor, nor by some philanthropist. We could not facilitate it if we tried. We need to go into this journey understanding that what we want and need from God has been prepared already by the “word of God”. Expect what you cannot see to become visible from the word of God. And that’s what the writer of Hebrews is telling us. “What is seen” meaning that which we determine is real, like your house, the plane I flew on yesterday, the car you’re driving, all of these things come from that which was not seen. Even things in nature, came from something we cannot point to in the natural.
So, if that is true, (and it is) why do you talk yourself into a depression because you cannot see what you need? Why talk yourself into unwise behavior because what you are praying for has not happened yet and you cannot see it? Why would you even make any decision because you or your good friends cannot see where the miracle is going to come from? Nothing that we enjoy today came from what we can see, but we still take advantage of it.
As we go through this journey, go through it expecting God to do miracles. Expect God to blow your mind. Expect what you cannot see now, to be visible this year. I am looking forward to this fast. I expect to see miracles during this fast.
Remember, Beloved, Drink as much water as you can, and don’t worry about tomorrow. Just do today.
Live Life on Purpose and not By Mistake,
Yours Because I am His,
