With only FIVE days left on our fast, we have to take a moment to, “Reflect on all He’s done through this fast, and remember the victories”!!!
Now let’s choose to build on it! Making a continuous choice and practical plan to not go back to where we were before the fast, but ONLY go forward.
“But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.” (2 Peter 3:18)
To make sure we do not go back, we have to continue to:
1. Deeping our Relationship with God
“I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised him from the dead. I want to suffer with him, sharing in his death.” (Philippians 3:10 NLT)
–Its so vital that we intentionally grow to new levels spiritually, refusing to get comfortable. We are in a time where God wants to move in such mighty and miraculously ways, in these last days. If we do not have a close ear to his heart, and discernment for the moving of His spirit we will miss out!
How will you continue to deepen your relationship with Christ?
2. Remaining Separated & Striving to live a Holy Life
“Now may the God of peace make you holy in every way, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again.” (1 Thessalonians 5:23 NLT)
–Its important that our WHOLE life is pleasing to God. As you follow Christ let your life be an example for others can follow. Not only in public, but even in our private life also, as wives, mothers, friends, etc.
–As we are preparing for resurrection Sunday, the cross reminds us of the penalty that covers our sins. Let’s continue to live grateful for the amazing price Christ paid for us, by carefully watching the way we live.
What are some new convictions you can live by to keep you separated and holy to God?
Ladies today, Reflect & Remember from these past 35 days of growth, then keep growing and moving forward together!!!
