Hunger for the Harvest Day 14: Character
If you are looking for character in the life of Jesus, you don’t have to read much of the Bible to see that! But reading a whole Gospel from beginning to end (Matthew, Mark, Luke or John) will show you the fuller picture of how He lived His life of character as a habit that…

Hunger for the Harvest Day 12: Fruit of Humility
With all humility, gentleness, and patience, show tolerance for one another. This is love. Eph 4:2 We might think there is humility in someone who bows downs, lowers their eyes, and waits for instructions, like a servant. But after reading this verse, the more biblical picture God brings to mind for me is someone who…

Hunger for the Harvest Day 9: Humility and Love
Be humble, like Christ. Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion, make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose. Do nothing from selfishness or empty…

Habits of Jesus Day 19: Beyond Easter
There is sadness and pain in reviewing Jesus’ ordeal on the cross. There is joy in the empty tomb. There is confidence in His ascension to heaven. But our highest heavenly perspective comes from walking with Jesus toward the cross, understanding His resurrection from the tomb on this side of eternity, knowing He reunites with…

Habits of Jesus Day 18: Foundational Truth
Jesus said, “These words I speak to you are not incidental additions to your life, homeowner improvements to your standard of living. They are foundational words, words to build a life on. If you work these words into your life, you are like a smart builder who built his house on solid rock. Rain poured…

Habits of Jesus Day 16: Helping the Poor
The poor are in our lives. They may be poor in money, poor in spirit, or poor in opportunity. They are often oppressed and taken advantage of. They live in every country around the world, even the United States. Zaccheus was an oppressor. Tax collectors of that day often took more tax than was owed…

Habits of Jesus Day 15: Loving the Sick
Jesus healed the dead body of Lazarus and he came out of the grave alive. That was a miracle! But even more touching was how Jesus loved Lazarus as a brother and wept for him and for his sisters Mary and Martha. Martha and Mary sent word to Jesus, saying, “Lord, he whom you love…

Habits of Jesus Day 14: Justice
Justice matters to Jesus! Therefore, justice matters to us. Justice, for the Three-In-One God we worship, was not described here by Jesus as a priestly program for the poor, a special tithe to build a stronger prison or a rabbinical lecture to be attended by the elite elected leaders of the moment. “For I was…

Habits of Jesus Day 13: Let Go
Jesus didn’t let anything get in the way of His path to the cross: not family, nor disciples, nor pressure from the Pharisees, nor the recognition of the physical pain ahead. His desire was that we also let go and take on His habit of following the will of the Father, wherever that takes us.…

Habits of Jesus Day 12: Be Family
Who do we consider to be family in our lives? Jesus had a family He grew up with (Luke 8:19), the twelve disciples (Mark 3:16) and many other disciples (Luke 10:1). He treated them all as part of His family and as part of God’s family. We can grow in the roles God has designed…

HUNGER FOR THE HARVEST, JUNE 3 – AUGUST 21
Posts every Wednesday and Friday to learn about the connection between fasting and His harvest. We will explore together how fasting increases your hunger for God, creating a position of humility that thirsts for holy intimacy and holy maturity. Helping others and planting seeds will become a natural and a supernatural response. Jesus is the Lord of the Harvest, He will use you in the lives of others to further His kingdom.
COMING NEXT: 30 DAY FAST AND PREPARATION, AUGUST 24 – SEPTEMBER 30
Posts every day. 30 days of fasting does not mean you do not eat for 30 days! The preparation posts will help you identify which meals or what things God may be asking you to abstain from for 30 days. A fast can be many things. Normally it is a plan to deny yourself some kind of food or something that is habitual. You want the lack of it to be noticed regularly by your body and your mind. And you want to experience a sort of hunger for it. It can be a good thing or a bad thing. A fast, by design, will turn your thoughts toward God when the moment comes that you say No. These posts will help you focus on how He will spiritually provide what you need, in the moment and beyond.
