DEVO. 01.06.25

“if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” (‭‭2 Chronicles‬ ‭7‬:‭14‬ ‭NIV‬‬)

- This Sunday we began our 21 Days of prayer and fasting as a church!

- Today’s teaching will be all about prayer & fasting.

- This was Gods word to Solomon, upon completion of the temple.

- The Lord said, in verse 13, “When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people,”

- ‭‭This was in the promised land that He had led them to.

- It was a blessed land, yet God was saying that there may come times that they are cut off from the blessing.

- They would be cut off of the blessing because of their own sin and lack of trust in God.

- But God gives them the solution.

- When there is an unsolvable problem, God has the answer.

- The same solution applies to you and me all these years later.

- So when you find yourself cut off from Gods blessing in your life, here is the answer:

- Humble yourself, pray and seek His face above all else and turn from all sin!

- Repent of all sin. The stuff you know about and the unknown.

- God says, Humble yourself!

- One of the most effective ways to humble yourself is to fast. And one of the most effective ways to get in God’s presence is to pray.

- Fasting cuts you off from ungodly influences and praying connects you to God’s voice.

- When you fast, you are saying “No!” To your flesh and when you pray, you are saying, “Yes” to His voice and His Spirit.

- Fasting and praying is one of the best ways for you to refresh and renew your spirit!

- Fasting and praying will cleanse your souls and renew your spiritual vision!

- God has so much in store for you this year but you need new lenses on your glasses to be able to see what He sees!

- Prayer and fasting are those lenses.

- Today, let me encourage you to pray and seek His face.

- Let me encourage you to grab ahold of the new vision that He has for you!

- Have a great Monday!
