Focus On What Is Essential - 90 Days of Prayer & Fasting

 

Hello this is Multiply,  a podcast to encourage village church planters and leaders I am Brad Snowden and I would like to read Hebrews 12:1-3; “Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls. looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

We are preparing for our 90 days of prayer and fasting and what God wants to do in us during this time. This is a time for the Lord to impact our hearts and lives infused with His Spirit as we seek him. This scripture focusses on much of what we need to be during this time. Oh, church planter, leader follower of Jesus Christ we have a time together no matter where we are to join together in fasting and praying for God to move in us. It is a great reminder of how to accomplish this in our hearts. Laying aside casting every sin and hindrance far away from us as to allow God to speak to us. There are so many distractions that would like to get our attention and get our eyes off the mission. We have this opportunity alone and together with other brothers and sisters in Christ to guard this time as sacred and important. There is a race to run but we cannot do it without God getting our attention so our hearts can refocus on the essentials. “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith”. The focal point of our existence is Christ Jesus so let us focus on Christ and all we do to focus on His sacrifice He is willing gave for us. 

The sacrifice we can give is laying down everything that would try to hinder us from spending time with the Lord to hear His voice. We need Jesus to work in our lives, we need Jesus to work in our lives, and we need Jesus to work in our lives. That work He wants to do will help us to refocus upon His heart to run the race that He has set before us and the urgency for fulfilling His heartbeat for souls to know him and to see lives, families, and villages changed by His truth. My prayer is for you to meditate upon Hebrews 12:1-3 and allow the Lord to speak into your lives and then cast off anything that would try to hinder you from His presence and plan for your life. This has been a word of encouragement for village church planters.

 Lord bless you as you pray and fast.
