Right Fasting-Right Faith
“You’ll be known as those who can fix anything,
restore old ruins, rebuild and
renovate,
make the community livable again.”
Jesus and His disciples were facing one of those “Ah ha” teachable
moments discussing who and who would not enter the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 19:26) Jesus had just invited a rich young
ruler to “sell all he had, give it to the poor and ‘Come follow Me!” But his faith and peace was in
money. He could not grasp that
there are some things more valuable than money and things.
23And Jesus said to his
disciples, “Truly, I say to you, only with difficulty will a rich person
enter the kingdom of heaven. 24Again I tell you, it is easier
for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter
the kingdom of God.” 25When the disciples heard this,
they were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?” 26But
Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with
God all things are possible.”
God desires your financial prosperity, but in the right order. He must be your treasure and your
dependence upon Him! When you
follow Him, He makes the impossible possible! He does through you what you could never have done apart
from Him. When you are free from
the chains binding you to trust in what you can see, He will enable you to rebuild your faith and restore faith in the
lives of others! As you choose
faith in God over faith in what you can see you will understand what Jesus was
saying when He said, “With God nothing shall be impossible!”
Pray with me in this manner;
“Father, even though I have believed You for my salvation, I now want to
trust You to work supernaturally through me! Father enable me by Your Holy Spirit to “fix” the broken, to
“restore” what Satan has broken, to “rebuild” the real faith in You and to make
our community a community of righteousness! It all begins with me-start with me! Guide my steps and show
me where to begin. I ask this in
Jesus Name! Amen!”
