Fasting Saturday

This time the Saturday note is in the morning unlike last week when I first sent this email to New Lifers.

Hey New Life,

With this email being at night, I don’t know how many of you will get to read this before Sunday, but I wanted to send this anyways because I felt that this was an important piece to continuing fasting in your life.

One last thing that has been impressed on my heart during this time of fasting is that a fast is not a diet. To be honest with you, most every fast I can remember going on I treated more like a diet to lose weight than to shake off the pounds of inner “fat” (selfish wants, past hurts, misused emotions…) When you fast certain foods do you lose weight? Yes, but that needs to be a secondary thing and not the primary reason.

The primary reason is so that you and I can find a deeper place with God, recognize his voice, and remember that we need Him to breakthrough in areas of our lives that only He can breakthrough!!

Tomorrow will be one of the greatest days in the lives of all of us at New Life Community Church and those we will be praying for if we have been fasting and seeking God this past week with the right heart, and attitude. God will hear us tomorrow when we pray, and worship Him!!!! New Life, believe that God’s answers will be right!! Trust Him and His decisions!!

HERE IT COMES!!!! SUNDAY, JANUARY 18TH IS HERE AND GOD IS/WILL BE TOO!!!

I am so proud of all of you and your fasting and praying!! I believe God has been smiling and proud of our efforts, no matter what you have fasted or how much, because it has been all about GOD!!!

See you in the morning!
Pastor David


I'll I have to say is FINISH STRONG!!! DON'T GIVE IN OR GIVE UP BUT GIVE GOD YOUR BEST TODAY as you finish off your fasting!!
