Simply saying God is first in our life, doesn’t make him first. The blessed life touches all aspects of your life. Yet, it requires that you live by the principle of first. The principle of first reveals the position of God in our life.

Blessed does not always equate to dollars. It’s so much more. The Hebrew word barak defines it as divine favor, cause to prosper, happiness. It all starts with the heart. First we must deal with a selfish and a grieving heart. Then we must be intentional about developing a generous and a grateful heart.

As Pastor Carlos sought the Lord for the word for the year, great things came to mind. He was led to Romans 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing and hearing by the (Rhema) word of Christ. The Lord spoke that what we have been waiting for, in all aspects, will require faith. Miracles grow in the good soil of faith. FAITH is our word for 2020. Listen and be encouraged!

Two great spiritual weapons are prayer and fasting. Prayer is talking to God. Fasting is the denial of physical needs, usually food and/or water. Our bodies do not like to fast. It reveals hidden attitudes, tendencies, and weaknesses that are uncomfortable. But when we deny ourselves and press into God and pray, great things happen. Not because of us, but because we are relying on God during the fast. Listen and join us as we begin a new year together in His power!
