40 Days of Spiritual RebootSample

Let's move forward to working on our ‘word-intake’. Before we can consider a deeper and more meaningful prayer life, fasting benefit, worship experience, we need to get some serious amount of the Word in us. This is for those of us who have lost time or have left their souls neglected or have allowed huge amounts of worldly influence. Now we need God’s wisdom to counter those hours and hours of darkened wisdom that have eaten away into our minds affecting our spiritual will and appetite. This will not be undone over night. It will take a few weeks to see our spirits return to ‘living in the Spirit’ and becoming sensitive once again to the presence and perception of the Holy Spirits guidance.

For those of you just using this as a tool to take you’re spiritual life to another level, you’re in a better place but it still takes intentional discipline. And you must expect opposition. Whenever it comes to the word… its amazing the distraction and things that come up to make us want to give up. So develop a militant mindset.

CENTRE DOWN

This coming week you will be doing a lot more reading. So while you need to be comfortable with your place and time every day, you need to get accustomed to reading for a while. Some are comfortable with this. Some have eyesight issues. Some cannot concentrate on reading. Consider what your impediment if any… and make arrangements for this.

If you’re a reader… make sure you have a bible version that you really enjoy reading. Good examples are ESV, NLT, NCV etc. These are strong translations yet very contemporary.

If you’re not a reader… but more of an audio learner… then get the ‘bible app’ on your phone or desktop.

OPEN THE BIBLE

Let's begin today by reading through Psalm 119. Scanning through the largest chapter in the bible that talks about the bible itself.

You will read through it just once. Read it in once sitting and allow for pauses only to reflect on verses that speak to your heart. Mark verses you want to come back to.

COME CLEAN

As you begin… pray God’s word into your life. Invite God by his life giving word to breathe life and strength back into your inner being. Quote the scriptures out loud… ‘your word is a two edged sword, divide the thoughts and intentions of the heart’. ‘You word gives me life’.
