It Is Done.
Day 40 Reconciliation Fasting
Today’s Scripture: Matthew 27:45-66
The Death of Jesus
45From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land. 46About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi,[b] lama sabachthani?"—which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"[c] 47When some of those standing there heard this, they said, "He's calling Elijah." 48Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it with wine vinegar, put it on a stick, and offered it to Jesus to drink. 49The rest said, "Now leave him alone. Let's see if Elijah comes to save him." 50And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.
51At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook and the rocks split. 52The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. 53They came out of the tombs, and after Jesus' resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many people.
54When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, "Surely he was the Son[d] of God!"
55Many women were there, watching from a distance. They had followed Jesus from Galilee to care for his needs. 56Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's sons.
The Burial of Jesus
57As evening approached, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who had himself become a disciple of Jesus. 58Going to Pilate, he asked for Jesus' body, and Pilate ordered that it be given to him. 59Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, 60and placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut out of the rock. He rolled a big stone in front of the entrance to the tomb and went away. 61Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there opposite the tomb.
The Guard at the Tomb
62The next day, the one after Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees went to Pilate. 63"Sir," they said, "we remember that while he was still alive that deceiver said, 'After three days I will rise again.' 64So give the order for the tomb to be made secure until the third day. Otherwise, his disciples may come and steal the body and tell the people that he has been raised from the dead. This last deception will be worse than the first."
65"Take a guard," Pilate answered. "Go, make the tomb as secure as you know how." 66So they went and made the tomb secure by putting a seal on the stone and posting the guard.
Thought for the Day:
“We shall neither fail nor falter; we shall not weaken or tire...give us the tools and we will finish the job.” - Winston Churchill
Goal for the Day:
Finish everything you start so it is done according to its intended purpose.

(From Pastor Gregory Dickow’s – Fast From Wrong Thinking)
As we conclude this amazing REVOLUTION, we are fasting from the thought that says, “You can’t win ‘em all!” When I was in sales, they said “if you make 2 sales/week, you’ll be lucky." So I made 10! I refused to allow the mindset of defeat for ONE SECOND. We are missing out on so much, because of the thought that we can’t always win.
Let's CHANGE IT TODAY:
- You’ve already won. The victory is ours NOW. You are NOW more than a conqueror! (Romans 8:37)
- IT IS FINISHED! (John 19:30) Jesus’ death on the cross SETTLED your victory. You never have to be defeated another day in your life.
- Stop fighting the wrong fight. Our fight is the fight of faith. (1 Timothy 6:12) That’s ALL we need to be fighting—to believe what God says. The struggle, the battle, the wrestling IS to
- Expect to win every battle. Thanks be to God who ALWAYS leads us in His triumph! (2 Corinthians 2:14)
- You can’t fail—because LOVE NEVER FAILS! (1 Corinthians 13:8) Stay hidden in God’s love; and you will not fail.
- Expect a turn around in every apparent defeat. (Romans 8:28) Even if you’ve failed—you’ve won, because Jesus’ paid for your turnaround.
THINK IT & SAY IT:
I already have the victory! Jesus said, ‘it is finished’. My battle has been won over sin, sickness, Satan, lack, fear, discouragement and all other things. IT IS FINISHED! I can’t fail today, because the LOVE OF GOD IS IN ME, and love never fails. I will never be defeated another day in my life, in Jesus’ Name!
