Fasting is a tool given to us by God for our benefit because it acts as a catalyst. It quickly allows us to be sensitive to what God is speaking. 

There is a tendency in the natural for people to split their loyalty between God and worldly things. However, we must be people who decide to fully serve and be loyal to God. We must allow our love for God to far exceed any other thing and keep our hearts solely devoted to God.

When we fast and seek the Lord, we increase our level of energy and strength in the Lord. Fasting energizes our spirit and fills us with fresh passion for the Lord.

Jesus came to bring light in the darkness. As followers of Christ, our lives should be the same. Wherever we go, we are to be light in the darkness. But we must allow the light to shine through us.

God has given us everything we need to reign in this life through Jesus. There is a high calling on all of our lives to live in victory and in righteousness. We must be people who embrace this.

In this week's message, pastor Christina preaches on the benefits of living a life of thankfulness. Thanksgiving is to be an ongoing part of our lives. It should never stop regardless of what circumstance or situation we face. Thanksgiving has the power to bring about amazing results.

When we give, it causes things to rise to the surface of our heart. It reveals our level of generosity and where we are selfish. Our giving will show where our hearts are devoted. We see multiple examples of this played out in the Bible.

Everything we have has been entrusted to us by God. We are called to be good stewards of it and manage it well. If we desire to see increase and God's blessing, we must be faithful stewards of what we have been given.

What is the root of all evil? The love of money is the root. God in His kindness instructs us to give, not for his benefit, but ours. We cannot serve both God and money, for we will hate one and love the other (Matthew 6:24). Listen to this message to hear more on how you can protect your heart from the love of money.
