Spiritual Growth
January 2 – January 22
Last week I addressed your trinity:
You consist of all three components at birth. When you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior, then God fills you with the Holy Spirit. You are then under contract to transform the carnal state of your body, soul and spirit into His temple, the house where God dwells on Earth.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Amplified Bible
19 Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is within you, whom you have [received as a gift] from God, and that you are not your own [property]?
20 You were bought with a price [you were actually purchased with the precious blood of Jesus and made His own]. So then, honor and glorify God with your body.
When you go to church, you are not going to meet God there, you are bringing Him there as active participant in acts of worship.
During this fast you should discover the following:

Intimacy
Almost there! In the devotions over the next three days we are rounding the corner and we can see the finish line. We see the way home. You find in these devotions the home (secret place) you are creating with God is a place you can leave but it will never leave you. God takes pleasure in you, however exposed you may feel, He covers you with His love.
Have you ever been on a road trip and been away from home for a while? You long for the comfort of home, the familiar sounds and surroundings. Finally, that day comes when you get to go home. You may start out on unfamiliar roads and may need the help of a GPS. But there’s a point during the journey you begin to recognize familiar landmarks and your excitement builds because you know you are nearing home.
Entering God’s presence for the first few times is a lot like the road trip home. You are eager to get there but at the start of the journey you are traversing unfamiliar roads. Unfamiliar territory could be things like unrestrained worship or prayer beyond basic rote prayers learned in Sunday School. You wrestle with the desire to give up and the negative head-talk until you finally settle into true worship. When you’re not familiar with worshipping God in the spirit, then you have to use a spiritual GPS as a guide. That GPS is the Holy Spirit and your willingness to let Him lead.
Aspirations
Come, join in devotions where we discuss God’s prescribed burnings, His requirement for us to lose our minds as we conform to His image.
10 But after he had taken the census [of his men of war], David’s conscience began to bother him, and he said to the Lord, “What I did was very wrong. Please forgive this foolish wickedness of mine.”
11 The next morning the word of the Lord came to the prophet Gad, who was David’s contact with God.
The Lord said to Gad, 12 “Tell David that I will give him three choices.”
13 So Gad came to David and asked him, “Will you choose seven years of famine across the land, or to flee for three months before your enemies, or to submit to three days of plague? Think this over and let me know what answer to give to God.”
14 “This is a hard decision,” David replied, “but it is better to fall into the hand of the Lord (for his mercy is great) than into the hands of men.”
15 So the Lord sent a plague upon Israel that morning, and it lasted for three days; and seventy thousand men died throughout the nation.
Intimacy
Have you ever planned a trip and as the trip got closer you begin to feel the excitement build? Well, this is what I am feeling about the 21-Day Fast coming up. It is tremendous to know I have heard from some of you who will be fasting for the first time. I have also heard from others who have made this journey many times before yet want to make this pilgrimage again in 2021.
