Church Family,
If you're still undecided about how to go about this "fasting" thing, might I recommend the replacement of media in your life with prayer and meditaiton on Scripture? God can use this time to speak his voice into your heart’s ear without the crowding voices of modern media. Think about it: in your car, in your living room, on your computer, through your phone, in the grocery aisle, driving down the highway . . . the voices of this world are constantly yelling at us. Unintentionally or intentionally we give them room. I'm reminded of Proverbs 1:20-33 and how both Wisdom and Folly call out to us. We possess the choice to become the audience of either Wisdom or Folly. I'm trying to drive my car in peace this month. So far I don't even miss the loud mouths of talk radio or the rock-stars and divas of pop music. I took time this morning to pray for Pat and the teaching ministry that he has been called to.
Verse:
Proverbs 1:20-33
Prayer focus:
The Teaching ministry of W.B.C. through Pastor Pat, that our minds might be renewed.
Praying with you today,
Caleb Widmer
Praying with you for Pastor Pat's teaching ministry...for continued steadfastness, wisdom, clarity and boldness as he preaches the the gospel and open doors for that gospel. During this time of church-wide prayer I think it would be good to remember a couple things. First, read Ephesians 6:10-20 and remember that we are in a battle and that our enemy is real but that the weapons that God has given us are "mighty in God for pulling down strongholds" (2 Cor 10:4). Do we really believe these things? Lord, help our unbelief. Secondly, I believe that our great God and King wants to do above and beyond what we can ask or think of to ask or even imagine in and through this season and His Spirit is continually interceding on our behalf so that I know we can be confident of these things. Amen.
