Day 29 Reconciliation Fasting

Do You Know? Really Know Who’s You Are?

Today’s Scripture: Proverbs 10:22-32

²² The blessing of the LORD brings wealth, and he adds no trouble to it. ²³ A fool finds pleasure in evil conduct, but a man of understanding delights in wisdom. ²⁴ What the wicked dreads will overtake him; what the righteous desire will be granted. ²⁵ When the storm has swept by, the wicked are gone, but the righteous stand firm forever.

²⁶ As vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes, so is a sluggard to those who send him. ²⁷ The fear of the LORD adds length to life, but the years of the wicked are cut short. ²⁸ The prospect of the righteous is joy, but the hopes of the wicked come to nothing. ²⁹ The way of the LORD is a refuge for the righteous, but it is the ruin of those who do evil.

³⁰ The righteous will never be uprooted, but the wicked will not remain in the land. ³¹ The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom, but a perverse tongue will be cut out. ³² The lips of the righteous know what is fitting, but the mouth of the wicked only what is perverse.

Today’s Scripture Message:

I learned the hard way, to simply say “God Bless You”, no matter what. You get so drawn into the poor intentions of others that you get lost in the drama of the garbage when you are intended for the glory of the present. Who are you allowing to take your joy? Who are you awarding power to that does not deserve it? Who are you serving? Even if it is someone you love and their intent for you is not according to your commitment, let go…let God & simply say “God Bless You”. Take possession of your life and in the words of a dear friend “Find your peace” knowing your intention was good, own your goodness and allow all else to fall by your side. Your life is a conversion to His kingdom, never lose sight of your proper place.

Thought for the Day:

“As I started to picture the trees in the storm, the answer began to dawn on me. The trees in the storm don't try to stand up straight and tall and erect. They allow themselves to bend and be blown with the wind. They understand the power of letting go. Those trees and those branches that try too hard to stand up strong and straight are the ones that break. Now is not the time for you to be strong, Julia, or you, too, will break.” – Julia Butterfly Hill

Goal for the Day:

If you have to cry, cry – If you have to scream, scream…but once you’ve gotten it all out and are done – be Done.

(From Pastor Gregory Dickow’s – Fast From Wrong Thinking)

We are about to embark upon the most significant days of our fast from wrong thinking, beginning with today’s thought—we are fasting from the thought that says, “I don’t feel loved.”

Let's CHANGE IT TODAY:

1. God’s not mad AT you, He’s mad ABOUT you! Dispel the myth of an angry God. God is Love. (1 John 4:8)

2. Our feelings follow our thoughts. Flood your mind with the thought: “My heavenly Father tenderly loves me!” (John 16:27 AMP)

3. You and God are inseparable! Nothing can separate you from the love of God. (Romans 8:37) Believe this with every fiber in your being!

4. Think Value. Your value is not determined by what you’ve done or not done; but by how much someone would pay to ransom you. God paid with His own blood. You are special!

5. Stop trying to earn something God has already given. He loves you! Just BE LOVED. It can't be earned. It is a gift from God. (John 3:16) Accept it.

6. Reject THE VOICES OF REJECTION. Look in the mirror and tell yourself that you are chosen by God, accepted and loved. (Colossians 3:12)

THINK IT & SAY IT:

God is not mad at me, He’s mad about me. My heavenly Father tenderly loves me. Nothing can separate me from the love of God. I am valuable and special to Him and I am as valuable to God as Jesus is. I receive His love by faith, in Jesus’ Name!

Now I know and why it is...can we really say that we have looked at the situation and analyzed it completely...seeking the advice of others will only put a band-aid on the issue...we really have to understand that the road that we have chosen is the correct choice...remember we can start ALL over again ... and have a strong come back at this adventure...we will never make everyone happy but we still try...WHY?

Happy 80^th Day of the New Year!!!

Light Always Travels Faster Than Thunder!!!

Many Blessings!!!
