Partnering with God’s Perfect Will
We all desire to be in the perfect will of God. Jesus taught us to pray for God’s perfect will in Matthew 6:10, “Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven”. Sometimes we have an encounter with the Holy Spirit and our eyes are opened to the Father’s will, but it can seem challenging. Just remember as Jesus said in scripture, anything is possible with God. We tend to compare what we heard God say with what our flesh is capable of, but scripture says that God will raise us up and train us to be faithful to His will. Fasting is one way we can partner with God’s perfect will for our lives. By fasting, we create more room for the Spirit by killing our flesh and it becomes easier to hear and obey Him.
Take some time today to sit with the Lord and ask Him the following questions and listen for His response:
1. Father, what is Your perfect will for my life and this fast?
2. Holy Spirit, is there anything in my life that is not aligned with Your perfect will?
3. Would You show me and teach me how to be faithful to Your will specifically with this fast?
Prayer: Lord, raise me up to be faithful to Your perfect will. Use this fast to cleanse any part of my flesh that is keeping me from walking in Your will. In scripture, You said anything is possible with You. Holy Spirit, I invite You into every space in my mind and in my body. I long to be closer to You and walk in your perfect will every moment of my life. Amen.
About this Plan
Fasting is a spiritual discipline that calls us to deny the desires of our flesh and fill ourselves up with God, His Word, and His presence. Over the next 40 days, we will grow in intimacy with God, position ourselves to be in His perfect will, and learn about His dunamis power in our daily personal encounters.
