FRIDAY CORPORATE FASTING 24TH OF FEBRUARY 2023 FASTING TIMES: THURSDAY 9PM - 6PM FRIDAY TYPE: DRY FAST, WATER FAST OR FRUIT FAST   GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT FRIDAY CORPORATE FASTING BLOG: 🤳🏽https://www.repentancerevival.com/single-post/corporate-weekly-friday-fasting   REVIVE US ONCE MORE LORD 🙌🏾 📖Habakkuk 3:1-2 "A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, on Shigionoth. 2 O Lord, I have heard Your speech and was afraid; O Lord, revive Your work in the midst of the years! In the midst of the years make it known; In wrath remember mercy.”  This verse may be paraphrased also to “O Yahweh, I have heard Your fame, and I bowed in reverent worship. O Yahweh, repeat Your doings of old in the midst of these current years of affliction; in the midst of these years of sorrow, demonstrate Your power; in wrath, remember mercy.” We are living in both peril times and exciting times for the born-again Christian that is awaiting the return of the Messiah. But between both, we also should have the same cry as did the Prophet Habakkuk that was praying for the Lord to show Himself in power once more. A revival speaks of things that were alive but are dying out and need to be brought back to life. We need a fresh outpouring of God’s live-giving Spirit on His people more than ever before saints. We need a worlod wide revival to bring conviction of sin, produce earnest desires for more of Christ and His Word, a boldness in witness, desire for purity of life, lots of conversions, joyful worship, and a renewed commitment to missions before His soon return. #fridaycorporatefasting #revivalrepentance #fastingforspiritualbreakthrough #fastingforspiritualrevival #abidinginchrist https://www.instagram.com/p/Co9yvF5OFLK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Words from an old, wise friend #oswaldchambers . What understanding do you have of the salvation of your soul? The work of salvation means that in your real life things are dramatically changed. You no longer look at things in the same way. Your desires are new and the old things have lost their power to attract you. One of the tests for determining if the work of salvation in your life is genuine is— has God changed the things that really matter to you? If you still yearn for the old things, it is absurd to talk about being born from above— you are deceiving yourself. If you are born again, the Spirit of God makes the change very evident in your real life and thought. And when a crisis comes, you are the most amazed person on earth at the wonderful difference there is in you. There is no possibility of imagining that you did it. It is this complete and amazing change that is the very evidence that you are saved. What difference has my salvation and sanctification made? For instance, can I stand in the light of 1 Corinthians 13 , or do I squirm and evade the issue? True salvation, worked out in me by the Holy Spirit, frees me completely. And as long as I “walk in the light as He is in the light” (1 John 1:7), God sees nothing to rebuke because His life is working itself into every detailed part of my being, not on the conscious level, but even deeper than my consciousness. #myutmostforhishighest #abidinginchrist #holyspirit #faith #jesus #newcreation #ledbythespirit #trustingodswork #running #trilife #trailrunning #thecalled #electofgod #bethechange #bethechurch

MAN OF LAWLESSNESS The Antichrist will come with power, with signs, and with lying wonders. But all of this is according to the working of Satan, as described in 📖 Revelation 13:13-17. If someone has spiritual power, signs, or wonders, those are not enough to prove they are from God. Satan can perform his own powerful works, either through deception or through his own resources of power. “He is Satan’s messiah, an infernal caricature of the true messiah.” However, the deception can only take root in those who do not receive the love of the truth. These people are ready for the deception of the Antichrist, because they want a lie, and God will send them a strong delusion. 💁🏽‍♀️ They were first deluded, which was their sin; and God sends them strong delusion, and that is their punishment.” "That they should believe the lie": Specifically, God sends them the lie. This isn’t just any lie, but the lie, that has enthralled the human race since Adam. 🤦🏽‍♀️ This is the lie that God is not God, and that we are or can be gods. 👉🏾 God's point is that the anti-Christ will embody all that is profane and blasphemous, every conceivable element of impiety; and that, instead of being rejected, he will be welcome by Jews as well as pagans. That they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness: As God gives rebellious man the lie he desires, it isn’t out of His generosity. Instead, it shows God’s judgment on those who reject the truth. As 📖 Romans 1 points out, in judgment God may give a man up to the depravity of his heart, to his pleasure in unrighteousness. They think that they are acting in defiance of God. But in the end, they find that those very acts in which they expressed their defiance were the vehicle of their punishment. #abidinginchrist #antichrist #eduringwisdom #2thessalonian2 #scripturewithpatu #thefall #manoflawlessness #followingjesus https://www.instagram.com/p/Co4sQ-POHpI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

THE TRUTH TO SUCCESS The best chance for success comes when plans are aligned with truth. That means those who submit to God's will and seek Him are in a better position than those who ignore or reject Him. Following God is never a guarantee of earthly success (📖John 16:33). However, acting in accordance with truth and goodness removes many dangers from life (📖 Proverbs 1:7; 13:20–22). When someone's efforts are fully entrusted to God's will and His control—when they are "committed" to Him—those laborers are less likely to cause their own downfall. 📖 Psalm 37:5 affirms this truth by stating: "Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act." Abraham charged his servant with the formidable task of finding a bride for his son Isaac, and his servant was successful in the commission of the assignment. He did not depend upon his own intelligence or preference. He asked the Lord to guide him to the right person (📖 Genesis 24:42–44). When he found Rebekah, the right person, he offered thanks to the Lord for guidance (📖 Genesis 24:48). When he asked her parents for permission to take her to Isaac, he said, "Do not delay me, since the LORD has prospered my way" (📖 Genesis 24:56). When a believer sincerely depends upon the Lord for the understanding to do His will, he is not disappointed. 📖 Proverbs 3:5–6 counsels: "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths."

Scripture says that by the power of the Holy Spirit, we can understand what God has prepared for those who love Him. The Holy Spirit does bring us closer to God because we have God's spirit. And by the power of the Holy Spirit, we can know God, and we can know the wonderful things that God has prepared for us. Also when we worship God we receive insight into the character of God and His works. 🙌🏾 The Spirit Will Bring Us Closer To God #abidinginchrist #wherethespiritofthelordisthereisfreedom #godswillistorevealhimselftous #scripturewithpatu https://www.instagram.com/p/CnhPNjTOjfu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

GOD SPEAKS TO ACCOMPLISH HIS PURPOSE The LORD illustrates the essential principle that His word "shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please” God’s word has something to accomplish. (previous verse 📖 Isaiah 55:10) The rain and snow eventually do return to heaven, but not before accomplishing their purpose on earth. Even so, God’s word, when He sends it down from heaven, does not return to Him void. Instead, it always fulfills His purpose on earth. God doesn’t just speak to hear Himself talk. His word is not empty or lacking in power. This also means that God’s word has a purpose. He didn’t speak in unfathomable mysteries just to blow our minds, or confuse us, or leave things up to any possible interpretation. When God speaks, He speaks to accomplish a purpose. It shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it: God’s word doesn’t barely get the job done. It shall prosper in the purpose God has for it. It is rich and full of life. God’s word always succeeds, and always fulfills God’s purpose. This doesn’t mean that it doesn’t matter how God’s word is presented. Sometimes a terrible sermon has been excused by saying, “God’s word doesn’t return void.” The principle is clear and true from this passage of Isaiah, but because of the preacher’s poor preparation or preaching, there has been little of God’s word set before the people. The preacher can ignore, dilute, or obscure God’s word so that little goes forth. When little goes forth, that little will succeed – but how much better if more of the whole counsel of God went forth to succeed. 🙌🏾 Gods Will Shall Be Done #GodsPlan #eduringword #abidinginchrist #godswill #dailydevotional #youversionbibleapp #godspeakstoaccomplishhispurpose #wedoitforhisglory #scripturewithpatu https://www.instagram.com/p/CmGFqsbtX3C/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

God’s goodness to the seeking soul 🤲🏾 The LORD is my portion: As in 📖 Psalm 119:57, Jeremiah found the key to satisfaction—finding one’s portion in the LORD. Whatever measure he was to receive, whatever inheritance, whatever future, it would all be found in Yahweh. These are the words of a satisfied soul. Jeremiah had no other place of satisfaction, so he was settled with the portion received, and that portion was the LORD Himself. Jeremiah found joy in God's faithfulness. Don't give up! He is worth The wait! 🙏🏾 In Christ, there is hope He is worthy of the wait. 🙌🏾 #abidinginchrist #kingdomprinciples #waitonthelord #godisgood #seekinggod #dailydevotionals #scripturewithpatu https://www.instagram.com/p/CiRagD7NU7f/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
