Well, it's Day 3 of our fasting and prayer vigil. I have been so excited at what God has already begin to do and anticipate greater things during the remaining time of our 21 day fast. God has impressed upon my spirit Isaiah 55: 6-8, 11

6 " Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
7  Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
8  For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD."
11  So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
However, the Message Bible makes it crystal clear:

6   Seek GOD while he’s here to be found, pray to him while he’s close at hand.
7  Let the wicked abandon their way of life and the evil their way of thinking. Let them come back to GOD, who is merciful, come back to our God, who is lavish with forgiveness.
8  "I don’t think the way you think. The way you work isn’t the way I work." GOD’s Decree.
11  So will the words that come out of my mouth not come back empty-handed. They’ll do the work I sent them to do, they’ll complete the assignment I gave them.


God has promised us during this time of consecration and fasting that as we seek Him, He will be found of us and that we can't think the thoughts we think of regarding despair and hopelessness because if God said it, that settles it! God's Word to you and I has an assignment and that assignment can't be canceled until the job is finished, Praise God!!

So, hang in there and allow God's Grace to sustain and empower you during this fast and watch God show up and show out!!
