Day-8 of the 40 days Journey

Day-7 of the 40 days Journey

Day-6 of the 40 days Journey

6th Day, It's amazing how time flies.... it's been six days(technically 7 day coz i don't count sundays)
I've had a unique journey so far. Trusting God in the day to day.

Though i woke up at my regular time, I reached to  church a bit late 7 AM something....
Pastor Younus led the devotion. He was sharing about the life of  Sidrak Mishak and Abednago
They made a bold statement which any one wont dare to say in their right mind. God will save us from this fire, even if he doesen't save us....... in other way, they were saying if it is the will of God for us to die we will die, if it is the will of God to save us he will save us. This is a kind of prayer that needs a gut to say it. Only Jesus said that. Father if it is your will Let his cup pass from me but now my will, Let your will be done.

When they pray that, and while being in the fire, God showed up to be with them. The fire didn't burn them be cause they were already set on fire for God. At a times God shows up when we are in fire....

We sang I surrender all at the  end.

Day-5 of the 40 days Journey

5th day, yey. I love it. Another day added in my life where i sensed God is up to something with my inside man. While every things outside is the same, (so to say even certain things are gone worse than before) But still it didn't bother me much as it used to. No time at all to be stressed about all the stuffs. Am just soaked in His presence by gazing at his face through  His word.

I've reached to church at 6:35 AM, i sat at last row and start sining ' I'm free", you know, certain songs even though you sang 'em zillion times before..... all of a sudden they mean really different to you in day like this. This is what happen today when i sang all the songs like, I'm free, Hold me close,  There is no one else like you, Lord reign in me...... some of the verses assure you to unbrden your issues at the throne.

Today the devotion was led by, a  NRI guy (pastor) who came from UK. His name is  Dr. Jim Master.
He spoke to us about prayer. The title was " God and me and incredible prayer partnership"

From matt 21:12, he said "my house shall be house of prayer" He urged us to pray proactive prayer rather than crises prayer. He said Prayer time is never convenient time. You make time deliberately.

Five Major points He shared with us.

1- Holy Spitit - Rom 8:26 When you are weak the spirit will help you.
2- Simple prayer works. Pray like a child. Matt 18 come like a child. Simple talk.
3- Specific Prayer works. Be specific from what you pray. List things you are asking God for.  
4- Be Stubborn - in good sense stubbornness. Don't forget about God's promises. Those are yours not anyone else's.  Gal 6:7-9
5- Satisfaction - Prayer should be joyful meeting not misery meeting. Isa 56:7 (I'll give them great Joy)

At the end he emphasis  on  Prayer of Thanks Giving -   Matt  8:2 He worshiped him before he ask him any thing. Matt 9:18 also the same.

Day-4 of the 40 days Journey

4th day, Totally amazing. I'm amazed. The energy level i feel in my bones and blood, its much much better than the days i ate chicken and mutton. I wish i had lived this life before. ( i've never observered lent before)
I loved the season i'm in, though the situations outside of me are same old ones. But inside i feel God is up to something..... I wanna co-operate with HIM with full of my mind, heart and soul. While expecting Great Miracle Touch from him finger.

Today i woke up at @ 5:30 AM  I brush up, took shower, drunk coconut water... and rushed to Church for today's devotion. Truly we had a good time of worship. We sang  "Saviour He can move the mountain".... And pastor younus shared scripture about Life of Daniel.


1- He was a man of Purpose. ( from the beginning he resolved in his heart not to defile himself.)
When he took a stand for God, He was able to influence 3 other friends.

2- He was a man of Prayer. He prayed 3 times a day, we also pray 3 times but it's only for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Even if the kind announce a decree not to worship any god, Daniel didn't change his habit. He was also fasting from the food of the king. And He and his friends were looking better than the rest.

3- He was a man of Prudence. When you honor God there is no way He won't honor you back. Dan 1:20 says Daniel and his friends aptitude was 10 times better than others... WOW.

At the end we all said this AWAKENING - Confession prayer.

Jesus, I plead your blood  over my sins and the sins of my nations. Shake eveything than can not be shaken. End darkness and shine your light on me. Send revival to me! My family! My church! My city! My nation!
In Jesus Name AMEN.

Day-3 of the 40 days Journey

3rd day, another day filled with GOD's grace.
Today Morning I woke up at 6:20 AM, I knew i'm gonna be a bit late for morning devotion at church.
Any how i just rushed. When i reached there they all were sining "As the dear"... I searched a spot at the back to kneel down. I start singing it along....
after that we held hands with who ever is near to us, we prayed one on one prayer time for each other personal needs.
After some time, three, one-on-one groups joined hands as one and prayed for youth alive, then after awhile the whole them hold hands and prayed for they country.

Before the end we sang, God of the city. Pastor Younus, didn't share any thing today, he said he was prepared to speak about life of Daniel which will help us on our fasting and prayer. But the spirit led him to make the whole session "just a prayer"

 


At end, we all sat alone by ourself quitely to reflect on what the spirit of God is speaking to us. We did that for some time then I left at 8 AM
