Day 36 Reconciliation Fasting

Rain as Much as Sun is Necessary for Beautiful Flowers

Today’s Scripture: Proverbs 3:3-6

^“4For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

 ⁵May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus, ⁶so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Today’s Scripture Message:

Storms will happen in everyone’s life, it is definite. A storm can not overtake you unless you submit to the power of the noise of the storm. I was reminded of lyrics of a song: “He showed me sadness, then introduced me to gladness. He showed me sorrow, so I would know he was my hope for tomorrow. He let me fall, so I would know he was my all and all…then he gave me a song…in the midst of the storm. Let it rain.”- Donald Lawrence.  Many times when I felt broken, beaten and battered by my circumstances this song played in my mind as a reminder of the fact…My heavenly father is my strength in the storm, my rock to cling to, my appreciation of the fact that all that I endure is for my good, that the intention of Christ our Lord in Reverence of God our Father is perfect peace and salvation…taking the thunder out of what I was going through refocusing me on the peace and cleansing nature of rain.  Changing your perspective, changes your perception of what you are going through – learn to love the rain as much as you do the sun, they both serve an important purpose in the natural balance of life.

Thought for the Day:

“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” -   Albert Einstein

Goal for the Day:

Change your perspective.  See the miracle of the rain and the significance of its properties, not just its fault in your “bad hair day”.

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

Today we’re fasting from the thought that says, “I don’t think this pain will ever go away.” We all feel pain, whether physical or emotional, and though it may seem at times it may never go away, IT CAN and WILL, when we...

Let's CHANGE IT TODAY:

1. There is twice as much healing for whatever pain is in your life. For every one mention of pain or sickness in the Bible, there are 2 mentions of health and healing.

2. God created you to get better. (Proverbs 4:18) YOU WILL GET BETTER.

3. The cross ends your pain. Jesus bore YOUR pain on the cross (Isaiah 53:4-5) and 1 Peter 2:24 says He has borne our pain and sins and with His stripes we were healed.  

4. Don’t lower your resistance to pain or sickness.  Resist it; speak to it; and expect it to leave. (1 Peter 5:7-8, Mark 11:23)

5. Expect the Word of God to destroy pain and suffering’s grip in your life. (Proverbs 4:20-22, Psalm 107:20) THERE IS POWER THAT CAN PREVAIL AGAINST THE WORD!

6. Stop fighting for the right to be hurt or stay in pain. CHOOSE to be whole! (John 5:6)

THINK IT & SAY IT:

I refuse to tolerate pain in my life. I am healed by the stripes of Jesus—spiritually, emotionally and physically. I AM getting better all the time. I choose to be made whole and I expect God’s Word to destroy pain’s grip in my life, in Jesus’ Name.

Heavenly Father, today I choose to trust in You. I release frustration over the dreams and desires in my heart, knowing that You know what's best for me. I choose to trust in Your timing because You are faithful, and I will bless You in all things. In Jesus' Name, Amen.-JO
