As we read through Philippians 2:1-15, we see the way of unity, the way of humility.

Hebrews 12:1-2 talks about laying aside every weight and every sin, and fixing our eyes on Jesus. We are trading our weights and sins for surpassing pleasures and promises of Jesus.

As we choose to pursue the Lord, we are laying down every weight & sin. We are saying "less of me, more of you", and choosing the way of a Fasted Life-Style. Knowing that God has given us desires, as we Fast, we are actively pursuing Godly fascination, and are becoming established and rooted in His love.

As we choose to pursue the Lord, we are laying down every weight & sin. We are saying "less of me, more of you", and choosing the way of a Fasted Life-Style.

But what is it, and why are we pursuing this?

As we press into the end of our 21 Day Fast, we want to make sure that we end it strong! 

So hold on, stand firm, and take heart! God is longing to encounter us in the secret place, so keep your eyes fixed on Him.

As our Church is pursuing this Fast together, it's important to remember to keep going (receive God's grace for fasting) and to re-focus on who you are doing this for. What you are giving up is worth replacing with more of Him.

When Jesus says, "When you fast" it is important to not only know why we fast, but for whom we are fasting for.

When we realize that must remain STEADFAST before the Lord, and that Fasting is meant to increase our capacity to receive more from Him.

When Jesus says, "When you fast" it is important to not only know why we fast, but for whom we are fasting for.

Knowing that we are spiritually barren without Jesus, and that when we fast, we are setting our heart to seek the Lord and His perspective.

How we perceive ourselves is not the same way that God perceives us.

As we enter into the month of December, we can find ourselves busy and lost in the busyness. But God is inviting us to seek after Him, love Him with all that we are, and discover the treasure that we can find in God.

Much like the Wise-men, God has made a way for us all to seek Him, to discover Him, and to worship Him.
