JANUARY 4 - READY, SET, GROW!
“Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things among you.” (Joshua 3:5)
Please join us today at one of our Campuses as we begin our SMART CHOICES series and our 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting after lunch today. So let’s look at our final devotion about fasting, before we begin our 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting emphasis.
Devotional Thought: Today is Day 1 — Game day. The whistle has blown, the countdown has started, and you are stepping into 21 days where you can not imagine what God can and will do. The Israelites were about to cross the Jordan into the land God promised, and Joshua told them, “Prepare yourselves… because God is going to do the miraculous!”
That is what this fast is. It is setting ourselves apart and setting ourselves up for God’s supernatural power in our lives.
You may feel excited. You may feel nervous. You may feel unsure if you can make it 21 days. All of those are normal feelings, but take it one minute, one hour, one day at a time and know that if God called you to it, He will walk you through it.
Breakthrough doesn’t come because you push harder. It comes because He draws nearer. Your hunger will become holy hunger. Your weakness will become worship. Your sacrifice will become strength.
I believe these 21 days will shape your year, deepen your faith, sharpen your vision, and unlock things in your life that prayer alone has not yet moved. Get ready because you are stepping into a supernatural season!
Prayer Focus: Lord, I dedicate these 21 days to You. Strengthen me, meet with me, speak to me, and move in ways only You can. I expect You to do amazing things in me and through me. May these 21 days be a holy surrender that blesses You as I seek Your ways in my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Follow-Up Activity: Write down one bold statement of faith for this fast: “During these 21 days, I believe God will… _________.” Write it on a notecard and place it somewhere you will see it daily.
