Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God and of Jesus Christ. Again, thank you for visiting our blog site. I would like to take this time to invite you to our church, In His Presence Family Worship Center. It is a friendly church where the praise and worship is sweet and the word of God is preached with power and without compromise. Join us at four (4) PM at 154 Lexington Ave @ 30th Street. Our midweek bible study services are at Seven (7) PM. We would be honored to have you as our special guest. Make plans now to come and prepare to receive from God. You will not be sorry.
This is day number of our fast. This year the LORD has instructed me to take the church through a ten (10) fast. So for today’s blog I thought I would repost this blog. It is still appropriate and I believe this word is still relevant and on time.
Beloved, we are in the beginning of our journey. For ten days we will be denying ourselves food and going into warfare for our futures. We will be praying for our children’s future and for the future of the church at large. We will be especially praying for the future of our church and the leadership of our church. We will eat one bowl of soup and drinking all the water we can handle. That means at least ten glasses a day. You can do this. The reason I know you can do this is because of what the bible says about us as believers. Let’s look at the text.
Rom. 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
To get a real perspective on this let’s just see what that means.
conquer |ˈkä ng kər|
verb [ trans. ]
overcome and take control of (a place or people) by use of military force: the Magyars conquered Hungary in the middle Ages.
• successfully overcome (a problem or weakness): a fear she never managed to conquer.
• climb (a mountain) successfully: the second American to conquer Everest.
• gain the love, admiration, or respect of (a person or group of people): the Beatles were to leave Liverpool and conquer the world.
In the Thesaurus is says this.
Conqueror
noun
They may have uncovered the burial ground of legendary conqueror Genghis Khan: vanquisher, conquistador; victor, winner, champion, conquering hero.
So let’s put this into perspective. Paul says we are more than conquerors, and a conqueror is an overcomer. Then you are more than overcomer in whatever you set out to do. You do more than take control. You are more than a victor, winner, champion or a conquering hero. You have the ability to do more than get through this; you can do this with flying colors. Just do one day at a time. We conquerors can do what ever we set our minds to. I am looking forward to real changes and real accomplishments as a result of this fast. I cannot prove it but I know this fast is different somehow.
Enjoy this time with the LORD. We are in for a wonderful time with the LORD.
Remember you are well able to do this because you are more than a conqueror.
Live Life on Purpose and not By Mistake,
Yours Because I am His,
