Open Heaven | 21 Days of Fasting & Prayer

ДЕНЬ 1 З 21

GET DESPERATE FOR GOD

As we start this 21-day journey towards the Open Heaven that God has for us, we must begin with a desperation for God Himself. He is the one who opens heaven over our lives, and we need an encounter with Him more than anything else.

When David wrote Psalm 63, he was running away from someone who wanted to kill him. Anyone would be desperate to get out of those circumstances. But instead of asking God to deliver him from his situation, David cried out in desperation for God Himself! David recognised his need for God, and knew how important it was to search not just for deliverance, but for the One who could deliver him.

Like David, we must seek God earnestly. Put aside other things to make time to read His Word, pray, and be in His presence. Be aggressive about not letting urgent things crowd out what is most important - an encounter with God. God promises that those who seek Him will find Him, so decide today that you will stay the course over the next 21 days to seek His face.

Like David, we must long for God. Ask God to stir up a fresh hunger and thirst for the things of God. Choose to deny your flesh through fasting and ask God to give you a renewed desire for spiritual things.

We believe that this year will bring an Open Heaven over our lives, but it begins with us getting desperate for God. Make Him your greatest desire and your greatest pursuit this year!

RESPONSE

Have we become more desperate for the things of God than God himself? Take some time to re- focus your attention on Him and ask the Holy Spirit to stir up a fresh desperation to encounter God.

What are some things that we desire more than God? Surrender them to God and choose to pursue God more than these things.

PRAYER

Dear God, I acknowledge that I need You in every area of my life. I want to seek You sincerely and with all my heart. Change my desires so that You are foremost and that I will desire nothing more than You. I believe that as I do so, I will find You. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

Open Heaven | 21 Days of Fasting & Prayer

As we begin a new year and come before God in the next 21 days of fasting and prayer, God will renew our faith, launch new dreams, and release us into our destiny. Our theme for these 21 days is ‘Open Heaven’. Under an Open Heaven, there’s a greater sense of God’s presence, clarity in hearing His voice, and a release of His favour and power on our lives.
