Pastor of the Kings Point Coalition of Christian College students (where our youngest attends) issued a proclamation… 21 Days of Fasting, Prayer & Journaling.
Look at the
(((DANIEL DIET)))
"The Daniel Fast is a widely utilized fast based on the Biblical book of Daniel. It involves a 21 day ad libitum food intake period, devoid of animal products and preservatives, and inclusive of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds."
The National Library of Medicine
Interesting is the phrase ((( AD LIBITUM ))) in music it is shortened to ((( Ad Lib ))) or
((( At Will ))) or
to do what jazz musicians do best ((( Improvise )))
In Science or Diet Feeding ad libitum means “without restriction” and that means although I will be cutting foods out of my diet the Whole Foods i do eat such as fruit & vegetables, legumes etc will be ((( Ad Librium))) PTL will be hungry!
If you so choose to accept the cchallenge Go to God and pray over the next 21 days…
Perhaps it’s not food maybe a fast on sleep is what God is calling you to being disciplined to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day
With the desire to go deeper with God set aside time to pray and lift up different areas of your life.
And YES CONTEND for a move of God & that God would meet us all right-where-we-are. As Justin Ford exhorts :
- - God is with you
- - God is for you
- - God is a way maker!
Amen!
Day 1: Offering Praise
Today’s Scripture —Psalm 86:8-12 (NIV):
“Among the gods there is none like You- - Lord; no deeds can compare with Yours - - All the nations You have made will come and worship before You, Lord; they will bring glory to Your name. - - For You are great and do marvelous deeds- - You alone are God. - - Teach me Your way, Lord, that I may rely on Your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart
❤
that I may fear Your name.
I-will -praise -You,
Lord my God, with all my heart ❤ ; I will glorify Your-name-forever.”
—Psalm 86:8-12 (NIV)
You Give and Take Away “Blessed be Your glorious name, and may it be exalted above all blessing and praise. You alone are the Lord. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host ✨✨⭐️🌟💥
the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them <
You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship You.”
—Nehemiah 9:5-6 (NIV)
“For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made
- - marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well.
- - My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
- - Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, - - the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them.
How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; when I awake, I am still with You.”
—Psalm 139:13-18 (NKJV)
Hallelujah
