BEFORE YOU STEP OUT TODAY THURSDAY 26/01/2023

TOPIC : ITS TIME FOR A NEW BEGINNING

TEXT ROMANS 12:1-2 

THE FIRST ADAM FELL BECAUSE OF UNCONTROLLED APPETITE .

1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Dearly beloved, when you fast, you are expected to mortify your flesh and to purge your soul of wickedness.

You cannot be fasting and be maltreating your house helps and your workers.

If you are fasting and dealing wickedly with your wife and family, you are an unbeliever.

Fasting without repentance is hunger and you can die in it.

If you are fasting but gossiping, you have opened up yourself to be possessed by devil and be elevated to the level of the accuser.

The reason for this is because when you fast, your flesh begins to lower itself for the spirit to take over.

However, the condition of your soul will determine the type of spirit that will terbanacle with you. 

Hear what the spirit is saying in Isaiah 58:  6-9,

"6 Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?

7 Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?

8 Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward.

9 Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;"

The Lord bless you as you begin to understand the purpose of fasting.

God bless you.

With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.

Your case is not bigger than God.

May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen. 

Your Victory is already guaranteed

It is well, do not give up, with God all things  are possible

(Please be a blessing to seven persons by sending to them   devotionals)
