FIVE MARKS OF A DISCIPLE: OCTOBER 5 – NOVEMBER 2

Posts every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday: Fasting builds intimacy with God, and encourages you to grow inwardly, upwardly, and outwardly. Explore five marks of a transformed disciple of Jesus and determine five actions that will allow God to change you. An action that applies to each mark is focus. Fasting and prayer is God’s way for us to find the kind of focus that builds intimacy within and actions without. Be with Him. Be like Him. Do what He wants.

COMING NEXT! MAKING SPACE: NOVEMBER 4 – NOVEMBER 27

Reflect on how to use fasting to make more space for God in your life. Make space in the moment and better reflect God to others. Make space in the morning and enjoy intimacy with Him. Make space in your conversations with others and learn how to listen like He does. Make space in your schedule to breathe and be refreshed by Him. Make space in your commitments so that you can say Yes! to the things He wants you to do. God made a space in this world for us. Let’s return the favor!

Fast Night 3: Drenched

Whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never be thirsty, it will become in him a fountain of water springing up to eternal life.” The woman said, “Give me this water so that I will not be thirsty.” (from John 4: 14-15)

Today was a day to fast food from sunup to sundown, but I forgot I had scheduled a lunch with a friend! I thank God that He knew my intention and His heart was full of grace in His love towards me. He arranged it perfectly. She brought only a small salad to share and our blessed conversation was the meat of our meeting together. Besides this, I drank only liquids today. I was still hungry, but the water felt like a wonderful gift from Him. It filled some of the holes in my stomach, yes, but it also reminded me of the eternal water with which He constantly drenched my spirit today.

Tonight as I lay on my bed, my main thought of Jesus will be:

Lord, drench me always with Your eternal water!
