Your Kingdom come. Your will be done, On earth as it is in heaven. Matthew 6:10 (NASB) Never underestimate the power or significance of your fast. During the following few days we will spend time studying how God can use your fast. But before we begin take note of the importance of your fast. Yielding your life to God, allows Him to take control. When God is in control it is beyond our comprehension what can be accomplished. In Hannah’s case, she wanted a son. A child

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. John 10:27 (NASB) For your Bible reading today, spend time reading the scripture where God calls Samuel. It was an ordinary day.

One of the purposes of this fast is to awaken a new and greater hunger for the things of God. Spending time in His presence instead of the table will touch our hearts and deepen our understanding of His grace

Honor the Lord from your wealth and from the first of all your produce. Proverbs 3:9 (NASB) It is a commandment to tithe and give back to God what is His. The way I have been taught is that if it was God’s to begin with and you give it back were you really giving Him anything? I believe true giving is in sacrifice. As we discussed on day 2 the widow gave from her poverty and not her wealth. Her giving was a sacrifice. We don’t know what she had to sacrifice to give an of
