Squaring Up_ Mid Year Fast
June 12, 2022
Big Idea: Understanding, accepting and accurately living in the Kingdom of God is the heart of Ignite Church. God has been revealing what that looks like to us on a deeper level over the past several months. This week we talked about the upcoming fast and the prophetic direction God has released for this time. We have an invitation in this time to square up to Him. To square up to His truths, His timing, His goodness, His purity.
We also discussed squaring up our agreements to His. We have thousands of opportunities daily through our thoughts and interactions with others to agree with Kingdom life and freedom or agree with the anti-Christ agenda. We empower what we agree with. Let’s agree with Kingdom realties and renew our minds to a Kingdom default in all areas of our life. While 1 week is short in duration, I believe it will be powerful in impact. We are setting into motion a cycle of breaking forth and breaking through.
Challenge:
*Commit to the fast fully and whole heartedly allowing Holy Spirit to guide you in all areas.
*Embrace the things that are illuminated and respond accordingly. If it’s changing something, change it with a cheerful heart. If its starting or stopping something, obey quickly.
*Be mindful of your thoughts and attitudes this week being quick to change agreements, old mindsets etc.
Quotes and Key Points:
As a Kingdom citizen, my goal is not to get to Heaven, my goal is to bring Heaven to Earth.
The WORD, not the world should dictate my expectations and agreements.
Co-laboring with Christ means I am fully surrendering to His will and plan knowing that it far exceeds mine.
We are fasting this week to square up all areas of our life so that our external and internal response is always defaulted to the Kingdom through our mind renewal and embracement of His truth.
Key Scriptures:
