Fasting That Pleases God

Fasting! I absolutely love it...well maybe I should say fasting..I absolutely love the results! (-:
I'm so thankful that God laid fasting on a regular basis for Marriges and Leaders on Lady Bee's heart here at Prayer for Everyone. I have had good days, I have had challenging days, but I realized the prayer and fasting being done could mean the difference between somebody staying married and divorcing, somebody in ministry giving up or pressing their way and souls saved... that's a great revelation to have to help stay focused!

In Isaiah 58 and Mark 9:29 these are the kind of fasts that we do here at Prayer for Everyone.
We fast and pray for other people's deliverance,breakthroughs, and blessings.
If you want to join us on Mondays and Fridays please check with your Dr. to make sure you are able to fast. I also encourage you to go through the Bible and find the different types of fasts, there are many! Here are just a few to wet your appetite for more. (-:

Repentance of Sin
Jonah 3:5-10

Deliverance from Enemies
2 Chronicles 20:3

Protection & Guidance
Ezra 8:21-23

Fasting alone has no spiritual value. It only has value when we fast with a purpose unto the LORD, humble ourselves, and set our face to seek His help and counsel by way of prayer and fasting, and guess what? He always answers. (-:

Jesus is Lord - LET JESUS COME IN

Text: John 2:13-18

With a whip, Jesus drove away all the animals being sold in the temple. He scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. He told the merchants, “How dare you turn my Father’s house into a market?” Jesus cleansed the temple that day. But some Jews demanded for a miraculous sign to prove His authority to do it. Jesus gave them a figurative answer pointing to his death and resurrection saying, “Destroy this temple and I will raise it again in three days.”

Where Jesus has authority, He cleanses. And when He cleanses, He destroys the system that brings the filth. A life that is fully surrendered to Jesus allows Jesus to carry out His authority to cleanse it. A visitor has no authority to check the cleanliness of a house, specially the private rooms. But the master of the house has all authority to check and to decide to cleanse the house. Don’t keep Jesus standing at the door. Let Him come in and be the resident and master of your life. Allow Him to carry out His authority even in the innermost part of your life. Is there an area in your life that has not been cleansed? Maybe, you have restricted it from the authority of Jesus. Open it up and surrender it to the Lord.

Jesus is Lord - JUST SAY “YES, LORD!”

John 5: 1 – 9

A great number of disabled persons lay by the pool of Bethesda for healing. When an angel of God would come down to stir it, the first to get into the water would be healed. Now, a man who had been invalid for thirty-eight years kept on waiting and never had the chance, for each time the water was stirred someone else could always go down ahead of him. When Jesus came to the place and asked him, “Do you want to get well?” The invalid man did not answer ”Yes,” but instead he complained, “There is no one to help me into the pool…”

Many times in our difficulties, we forget that Jesus can help and will help us in His own special way. We focus on the way we want our difficulties to be solved, and we complain too. We look for sympathy, and we look for human assistance. We pity ourselves and focus on our problems instead of saying “Yes” to Jesus. At times when there is no one around us who can encourage us, let us not forget that Jesus is always there. His question, ”Do you want to get well?” is digging our inner desire to get well, the pure desire that can be obscured by bitterness and discouragement. His next statement is, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk!”

Jesus does not want us to wait forever for that assistance that we complain for. Man can fail us, but Jesus never fails. Jesus is here to heal and to give life.

Just say “Yes, Lord, it’s you that I need.”

Jesus is Lord - TRUE GREATNESS

Contributed by: Liza Faunillan
See Verses; John 1:6-9, John 3:30, Matthew 11:11

When John the Baptist did his ministry on earth, he did not do it to be great in the sight of men. He admitted he was the one the Prophet Isaiah talked about as the “voice calling out in the desert..” but he denied being the Christ. He denied greatness and looked at himself as not even worthy to untie the sandals of Jesus.

More so, John guided the people away from himself and pointed them to Jesus saying “Look! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! This is the One I meant when I said, ‘ A man who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.” John told the people he was only a messenger, a herald to prepare the people for the coming of the Messiah, the true great one.

When it was time for Jesus to come out and minister to the people, John declared, “ He (Jesus) must increase, and I must decrease.” John’s time of ministry was short in the eyes of men, and yet Jesus commended him before His disciples saying, “…Among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.”

True greatness is greatness declared by Jesus Himself, and not the greatness declared by man. Let us be careful to do God’s work without vying for worldly greatness. Our mission is to lift up Jesus and to lead the people to Him and not to us. If we are to be used by God in His kingdom, we should be willing to get out of the scene to let Jesus reveal Himself to His people.

A great ministry is like that of John’s ministry that has done the purpose of God to present Jesus to a lost generation. It is not measured by length of service, nor by the number of achievements that man can acknowledge with a plaque. As always, in God’s principle, greatness is found in the bottom. He who is least in the kingdom of heaven is even greater than John the Baptist.

Those whom Jesus called “great” were those who never thought of becoming one.
