21 Days | Day 11: Supernatural Results Are on Their Way!
Thursday Jan 25, 2024
Thursday Jan 25, 2024
READ: Daniel 10:1-21
MEDITATE: When you experience spiritual weakness, don’t give up! God is working today in ways you may not see. Embrace the weakness, knowing that it serves as a reminder of our complete dependence on God. Allow him to strengthen you spiritually and be encouraged in knowing that supernatural results are on the way.
PRAY: God, when I am so tired that I want to give up, give me the strength and courage to stand on your Word believing in faith that even when I can’t see it, you are working.

21 Days | Day 10: The Certainty of Change
Wednesday Jan 24, 2024
Wednesday Jan 24, 2024
READ: Acts 13:2; Exodus 34:28; Matthew 4:2
MEDITATE: Through prayer and fasting, God gave Saul (Paul) and Barnabas a new mission. He gave Moses the Ten Commandments. Jesus found strength and power to initiate his public ministry and start his journey to the cross. Fasting can precede supernatural change, empowerment, and mission. To what is God calling You today?
PRAY: Lord open my spiritual eyes, ears, and heart to what you are saying to me today. Whether it’s a new word, mission, or ministry, may I receive it, accept it, and obediently walk in it that I might honor you.

21 Days | Day 9: Nearness
Tuesday Jan 23, 2024
Tuesday Jan 23, 2024
READ: Matthew 9:14-15; James 4:8
MEDITATE: Just as our physical bodies crave food and drink, our spiritual bodies hunger and thirst for God’s presence. Draw near to God today, and he will meet you where you are.
PRAY: God, there is a hunger and thirst in my life that only you can satisfy. Help me draw near to you and find all that I need in your presence.

21 Days | Day 8: The Kind of Fasting God Honors
Monday Jan 22, 2024
Monday Jan 22, 2024
READ: Matthew 6:16-18; 2 Corinthians 5:9; Galatians 1:10
MEDITATE: In Matthew 6 Jesus teaches the proper way to fast. It should be done in private and focused on God rather than done in public and looking for approval from man. Our motives for fasting are important. Spend time today allowing the Holy Spirit to reveal to you your heart and motives for fasting.
PRAY: Heavenly Father, search my heart and reveal to me my true motives. Help me to center them on you rather than outward approval from others.

21 Days | Day 6: All About Appetite
Saturday Jan 20, 2024
Saturday Jan 20, 2024
READ: Genesis 25:19-34; Hebrews 12:16
MEDITATE: Esau traded his birthright to Jacob for food to satisfy his hunger. Esau focused on the immediate, while Jacob sought the future. Sometimes we make short-term decisions without having a long-term view in mind. God wants us to keep our eyes on the eternal, what truly matters.
PRAY: God, help me to make decisions with a long-term and eternal view in mind. Give me spiritual vision, godly wisdom, and perseverance to choose.

21 Days | Day 5: Just Like Us
Friday Jan 19, 2024
Friday Jan 19, 2024
READ: James 5:16-18; Hebrews 4:16; Acts 10:34
MEDITATE: God answers prayers. While our prayers may not be like Elijah’s, God wants us to spend time with him and honestly share our requests, but, are your prayers more of a “to do list” for God? Or are they authentic conversations with your Lord and Savior, who wants what’s best for you?
PRAY: God, at times I come to you more with my requests than to spend time with you. As my Heavenly Father, I know you want more for me than I can imagine. As I spend time with you, change my heart from my desires to what you desire for me and my life.

21 Days | Day 4: Fasting and the Power of Praise
Thursday Jan 18, 2024
Thursday Jan 18, 2024
READ: 2 Chronicles 20:20-21; Psalm 68:1-10
MEDITATE: Just as fasting is a means of putting our physical bodies under subjection, praise is a means of putting our mental, emotional, and spiritual beings under subjection to God’s authority. What areas of your life do you need to give back to God and give him authority over once again?
PRAY: I give you praise, O God, for your faithful love that endures forever! Help me to recenter my life in you.

21 Days | Day 3: Doing Battle
Wednesday Jan 17, 2024
Wednesday Jan 17, 2024
READ: 2 Chronicles 20:2-3, 15-17, 25
MEDITATE: When struggles come (and they will!), it is easy to give up, but believe that God is fighting on your behalf. Don’t wait until the battle is won to give God praise. Praise him now for what he has promised.
PRAY: I may already feel like giving up, but help me, God, to praise you in the middle of the battle knowing that you are fighting on my behalf.

21 Days | Day 2: Depending on God Through Prayer and Fasting
Tuesday Jan 16, 2024
Tuesday Jan 16, 2024
READ: Mark 9:14-29; John 15:4-5
MEDITATE: Jesus’ primary concern was the condition of the boy possessed by an evil spirit, and he confirms that the power needed for his healing comes through prayer and fasting. As we pray and fast, we are trusting God to do his will in our lives and to provide our daily strength.
PRAY: I am dependent upon you God for life, strength, and my needs. May you produce in and through me the fruits and results you desire to accomplish.
