FAST-Food WEDNESDAYS
The Ascension:
New Horizon, New Mentality
Scripture Reading:
Psalms 78:19-22,41 (NKJV) "19 Yes, they spoke against God: They said, “Can God prepare a table in the wilderness? 20 Behold, He struck the rock, So that the waters gushed out, And the streams overflowed. Can He give bread also? Can He provide meat for His people?” 21 Therefore the Lord heard this and was furious; So a fire was kindled against Jacob, And anger also came up against Israel, 22 Because they did not believe in God, And did not trust in His salvation. 41 Yes, again and again they tempted God, And limited the Holy One of Israel."
Romans 12:2 (TLB) "Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but be a new and different person with a fresh newness in all you do and think. Then you will learn from your own experience how his ways will really satisfy you."

Meditation Thought:
Your mindset can limit our unlimited God. Your reality is a reflection of your mentality and you will not rise higher than your mindset (mentality) because it parallels what you believe. Every time you receive something in your life that is higher than your belief system, your mind will register it as an error or a mistake. Thus you will remain at your current level.
Put into Practice:
Today, allow Holy Spirit to prepare you and further develop you to grow into your next. Allow the Holy Spirit to electrify and charge you on this day. This precious gift was given to us and it is about time that we open ourselves up to His ministry. Grieve not the Holy Spirit on this day.

Corporate Fasting & Prayer
Informational Guide
(Click to View or Download)
The church will corporately fast every Wednesday, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. The purpose of the corporate fast is to help us bring our bodies, appetites, or desires (both physically and spiritually) under subjection which in turn will allow our spiritual man to grow because then we become more dependent on God. This biblical practice and principle also centers on helping us draw closer to God so that we may know His will for our lives and this ministry.
Again this isn't mandatory, but I am asking you to walk with me through this process. If you can't fast for any reason, whether it is due to health or just lack of discipline, choose a specific time where you cut off all distractions and allow that moment to be your special time with God to pray or read/study God's word. For some it may be 5 mins, for others 1 hour to 12 hours. Just make it count.
