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

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

He wore camel hair sackcloth, a coarse and loosely woven garment, which represented a special prophetic call for personal and national repentance. But His message and his demeanor were one of humility. He was there to proclaim someone…

    Hunger for the Harvest Day 10: Humility

    The role of a farmer is one of total dependence upon God for the sun and the rain and the growth of the seeds he plants. But this can be a humbling experience for us when we plant seeds for God on our knees in prayer. We hardly ever see the full fruit of what…

    Planting Seeds Day 11: Repent!

    You can plant seeds one by one with your own green or not-so-green thumb, or use a big noisy and smelly machine to do all the work for you. Not that God has anything against machinery for farmers! But when we move forward to plant seeds for His kingdom, God wants a personal touch. He…
