Fasting...

i was going to post on the "I AM" but i just felt like posting this. its a short short study on fasting. the "I AM" is comming soon!

fast 2
To abstain from food.
To eat very little or abstain from certain foods, especially as a religious discipline. n.
The act or practice of abstaining from or eating very little food.
A period of such abstention or self-denial.

Fasting is to abstain from something, primarily food.

the question arises ..

Q:WHY FAST?
A: ISA 58:6 -12


Isa 58:6-12 Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? (7) Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? (8) Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward. (9) Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity; (10) And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday: (11) And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not. (12) And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.

this is a very shot insight in to fasting, when i get in to it i will get in to it!.

I AM : "for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins" (remember HE is in italics!)

Just Follow . you will get your key!

A couple years ago I left from a church w/ my friend and was following his dad, I was supposing his dad was going some whereas else completely leaving me & him to figure out getting back to his house just us. we was following him the entire way there (about a 20-30 min drive) and when we are almost halfway my friend calls out something startling "I don't have a key to the house", that sets us in to panic mode .. It’s too hot out here for me to wait for his dad to get back! I honk and flash my lights and do everything short of ramming the back bumper for attention but he ignores me, I was like how can he do that & why would it seem like I am being completely ignored since having a key and all is extremely important. We follow his father through all kind of back roads to get to the wilderness country where they live. We get on their road and I finally figure it out... he pulls over and we get out going up to his vehicle... And he hands us the key we just spent the entire trip trying to figure out what we could do with out it.

the spiritual significance of this is simply when your following behind and your not sure where your going and your not sure where your key is, follow HIM & he will lead thee and guide thee, HE will open doors for you.

I am a horrible write, I guess an ok speaker BUT this simple message came to me a couple days later after this event, how we can see awesome messages of God in the simplistic events of life.

Have a good day!

insights on Former & Latter Rain

Rainfall happens in two grea cycles per year .. the spring rain & the autum rain. the interesting insight of the rain that alot of people dont take in to account is the spring rain (former rain) is a blanket rain, it covers the entire area and can rain three days straight. the Autumn rain (latter rain) is more of a selective rain but over all is more powerful. i started concentrating on this when i asked myself this roughly ' how can there be a great out pouring yet at the same time a great back sliding?' - that is through the selective rain. right now in aftrica there is a tremendous revival and its comming to America not and what a revival it will be! but the backsliding can happen while the church is getting revived through selective rain.


No real scripture today but look up the topic its a really good one!

Can you Buy the ability to give the Holy Ghost?

Wednesday's posts are usually small .. here is an awesome post.

Act 8:9-24
(9) But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:
(10) To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.
(11) And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.
(12) But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
(13) Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.
(14) Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:
(15) Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:
(16) (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
(17) Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
(18) And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
(19) Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.
(20) But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
(21) Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.
(22) Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.
(23) For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.
(24) Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.

this shows requirement of an outward sign to know you received the Holy Ghost. simple message . powerful yet simple.
