I am hearing so many people from SpringWell talk about how our church-wide fast is affecting them.
Several have shared how they are being stretched by the discipline and encouraged by prayers being answered.
During the first week of our fast, I wrote down several things where I am praying for a breakthrough.
- Teddy (our son) to find a job - He lost his in the fall and like many have struggled replacing it.
- Conquered Addictions – I desire every personal impulsive choice I make be disciplined and for our church to reach as many as we can through Celebrate Recovery. We will be launching this ministry in the fall or early 2011.
- Financial Breakthrough for SpringWell – We are seeking God on behalf of those who are not tithing and asking Him to stretch their faith and give them consistency in giving. This would radically influence our effectiveness as a church to reach our community.
- Expand Legacy Coaching – I am asking God to open up doors locally for churches and pastors to partner with our Leadership Coaching and Church Health Consulting ministry. Local clients would help decrease my travel and expand our networking. This would also empower us to give more to the Kingdom.
- Greater Physical Discipline – I have personally struggled with my physical weight and health more over the last 2 years then I ever have. I am learning that I really need God's help to renew this discipline in my life.
If you were at SpringWell on Sunday, you certainly experienced how prayer and fasting produced an incredible sense of expectation during the service. God showed up in a big way. Lives were changed! We also received our biggest weekend offering in over a year.
You tell me….does prayer and fasting work?
This is just the beginning….get ready for your breakthrough!
Why are you fasting?
