America is in need of a spiritual awakening, it's not a world issue. It's a heart issue

Physical obedience in fasting and prayer produces spiritual outcomes. When we fast and pray we release God's heaven onto our lives. 

Urgency forces us out of complacency and into dependency on God! When there are no urgency, there is no dependency. Fullness produces forgetfulness. 

Fasting is spiritual warfare! We are fighting a spiritual battle, so we need to fight with spiritual weapons. This week we learned about how to use fasting as a spiritual weapon. 

This week we started a new series about fasting for breakthrough.  Pastor reminded us that if we want something we never have had before, we need to be willing to do something we've never done before. What is something that you can do that you've never done before? Wether that be simply raising your hands in worship, or a fast. Try something new and see where God takes you.   We pray that this week God meets you. That God shows you a new part of him. 

This week of Heart Healthy pastor reminded us that hope is a confident expectation of a better future that my tomorrow will be better than my today and my yesterday.
