As Christians when our word means nothing we’ve lost our witness. Honesty is everything whether you’re saved or not. God loves integrity so much he said a liar won’t even tarry in his sight. In other words, he don’t even want you in his face if you’re not going to be truthful. When we are honest we will never have to chase down a lie.

Proverbs 19:1 Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.

Good morning today is the 10th day of the Daniel Fast and our focus is LONGSUFFERING

Many of us don’t mind helping other people out. We figure at some point in life we all need a helping hand. Some of us have had to help the same person on more than one occasion and we have become frustrated in doing so. It’s one thing to help someone out, it’s a total different thing to keep helping the same person out with the same thing. This is where longsuffering comes in. We think once we help someone they should get it, they should know their behavior has to change and they should know we won’t always be here to pick up the slack. So we want to give up on them and call them a lost cause. But hold on. We did the exact same thing to God. We repeated the same behavior over and over again and he said I still love you, I’m still not going to give up on you because it’s not my will that none shall perish. So, before we give up on anyone remember God didn’t give up on us.

Psalms 86:15 But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.

In this life we are sure to face trials and tribulations. When the trials of life come upon us that’s not the time to start murmuring and complaining. It’s not the time to start having a pity-party. Actually, it’s a time to count it all joy.

God knows what he’s placed inside of you and he knows just how much you can handle. So whenever you find yourself in a trial ask the Lord to show you what he’s placed inside of you. Trials come to teach us life’s lessons and God is the instructor. Contrary to popular belief it’s alright to ask God questions. It’s alright to ask God what is it he wants you to learn from this trial. It’s alright to ask God what is he trying to purge out of you during this trial.

James 1:2-3 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.

Many of us like to be in control therefore, it’s hard for us to trust God in every area of our lives. Our need to be in control hinders God from flowing freely in our lives. How many blessings have we forfeited because we had to be in control? How many times does God say I got this and our actions say; Lord you can sit this one out because I’m in control?

None of us can really understand the mind of God because his ways are not our ways, and his thoughts are not our thoughts. God wants to move freely in us and through us. However, we have to let go of our control, lay down our will and let his will be done. Whenever we’re ready to relinquish control, God is ready to move.

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Whenever we are going through trials and tribulations it doesn’t feel good. Sometimes we ask God why me. Instead of asking God why me, we should ask God what do you want me to learn out of this? When we are afflicted we should use this time to pray and seek God even the more.

Psalms 119:71 It was good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn your decrees.

There’s no need to worry about how you’re going to pay this or pay that. There’s no need to worry about where your next meal is coming from. God knows exactly what we stand in need of.

Philippians 4:19 And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.

This is Day 5 of our Daniel Fast and our focus today is on Consistency:

In the face of persecution and trials will we be constant in our faith? Will we still say God is good when life sometimes isn’t great? Will we still profess to be Christians and live Holy when the world says we can do whatever we like?

Philippians 1:27 Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit, striving together as one for the faith of the gospel.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

When life seems so uncertain and our nation is at war; we can take comfort in knowing that we have safety and security in the Lord. We can take cover under God.

Psalms 91:1-16 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.With long life will I satisfy him,and shew him my salvation.

Proverbs 20:6 Many claim to have unfailing love, but a faithful person who can find?

Can God count on us to be faithful to him? We always say people are fake, I just want someone who’s real, who’s loyal, who’s faithful. Have we ever turned the mirror on ourselves and said; God I’ve been fake towards you, disloyal to you, and unfaithful to you? Or do we think it’s only other people that’s unfaithful and not us? Today we have a choice to make.

Are we going to keep giving God lip service or are we going to put action behind our words?

When we say we love God and we are sold-out for God, then our actions and behavior should reflect that.

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.

Today is day two of the 21 day Daniel Fast and our focus for today is Humility. Proverbs 22:4 Humility is the fear of the Lord; its wages are riches and honor and life.

We must allow pride to take the back seat in our lives. We must stop trying to prove ourselves to everyone and humble ourselves before the Lord. The older saints use to say; may the work I’ve done speak for me. Let your works, actions and behavior speak for you on today.

We have 6pm prayer (central time) today if anyone wants to join in please call 426-436-6313 access code:738123
