21 Day Fast Day 8
Here we are starting week 2 of our 21 Day fast! As we are humbling ourselves to seek God’s face and pray I can already sense a shift in the spirit. I feel that God is pleased with the posture of our heart as we look to Him as our EVERYTHING!
Yesterday at church we focused on the way that Jesus prayed. We saw how after spending a lot of time with Jesus the disciples asked him in Luke 11:1 “Lord teach us how to pray”
There was something about the way Jesus prayed that demonstrated his intimate connection to Father God. It was where Jesus got the instructions and how he always knew what to do and where to go. It was why he had power to heal and deliver and cast out evil spirits. Jesus knew that prayer turned on the faucet of Father God's power.
Jesus answered the discipleship with a prayer that really shapes the correct posture of the heart for prayer. Let’s look back at Luke 11.
“And he said to them, “When you pray, say: “Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread, and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation.””
Luke 11:2-4 ESV
Jesus wasn’t necessarily telling them to recite this prayer but teaching them the correct approach and pattern. Starting prayer by focusing on who God is and asking for HIS will and declaring HIS kingdom come.
Let’s practice this as we pray today and throughout the week.. As we look to Jesus as our “One Thing” and see him for who he is we can declare his kingdom to come on earth as it is in heaven!
Walk in the power and strength of the Holy Spirit as you fast and pray and seek God today!
