hey
Does this align with God’s Word?
Words are powerful


dāvār: word, thing, matter


Genesis 1:3
Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.

Psalm 119:130
“The entrance of Your words gives light…”
John 8:12
‘Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”’


Revelation 21:23
“The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light.”


The focus is on Jesus!
Just a recap of my brain so far:
*Focus requires intentionality.
*Clarity would be great to have in our lives.
*21 Days of Prayer and Fasting can be beneficial.
*Words are powerful.
*Jesus is light…so, I should be light.
“I’m going to be intentional and focus on clarity from God. For 21 days I will set aside time to pray while denying myself of some things that are part of my normal day to day life, like certain food and entertainment. I know that words are powerful and I want my words to align with the light of Jesus living in me.”
God is the only being that can create Ex-Nihilo: “out of nothing”


Ebrah k’dabri
“I will create…as I speak”


God’s character and the truth of His Word can come alive in our life

Our Reality GAP God’s Heart


Romans 3:10
‘As it is written: “There is none righteous, no, not one;’


Romans 3:23
“for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,”


1 Timothy 2:5
“For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus,”


“sticks and stones may break my bones…but words will bring life or death…”
Prayer and Fasting is:
1. An assumed practice


2. A means of seeking God


“…first, let it be done unto the Lord with our eye singly on Him. Let our intention herein be this, and this alone, to glorify our Father which is in Heaven…’ —John Wesley
1. An assumed practice
2. A means of seeking God
3. A focus on saying yes to God


We have the natural tendency to be overfilled with the things of the world.
Fasting returns us to original intent…a vessel of honor.
2 Timothy 2:21
“Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter (being unfit), he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.”


“The highest glory of the creature is in being only a vessel, to receive and enjoy and show forth the glory of God. It can do this only as it is willing to be nothing in itself, that God my be all. Water always fills first the lowest places. The lower, the emptier a man lies before God, the spe
