Tired of the Normal Church Diet

For those that took the Awakening 21 Day Challenge you are now 6 days into the fast. I am so proud of you for hanging in their the first 7 days are always the hardest.  I have had so many people ask me why our church is doing a 21 day fast so  I thought I would list some of the reasons why:

• There are dimensions of our glorious King that will never be revealed to the casual, disinterested worshiper. Fasting makes you step back and you become hungry for more of what God has for you.
• Fasting is one of the primary ways to bring renewal into your spiritual life.
• Need to remove King Stomach from the throne of our lives.
• Reminder not to settle for a diet of just “church as normal”. As I’ve learned hungry people are desperate people.
• Matthew 6: Gives the pattern for how a child of God is to live. The pattern speaks of three duties of the Child of God; When you give….When you pray…When you Fast.
• When you remove food from the diet for several days your spirit becomes uncluttered by the things of th world and you become sensitive to God’s voice.
• Asking for the favor of God to be upon Five Stones Church. There are so many people that need to encounter God’s unconditional love in the Waxhaw/Weddington Area.

Its not to late to join the Five Stones Awakening Challenge. Pray about doing a one day Fast or take a fast from tv, media, etc. Use that time to seek after the Lord.
