Break-Fast

This morning began a brand new season for the congregation of Kempville Chapel. Today we "break the fast" that we committed to as a unit. I had a pancake for "breakfast" this morning and it was absolutely the finest tasting pancake that I believe I have ever put in my mouth, by the way, the cup of coffee was just "good to the last drop"! For lunch I had nothing, but for dinner this afternoon, hamburger steak, tater tots, and salad, em' em' good! I was speaking with a close minister friend of mine (my best friend actually) this morning about what God has already done in our time of fasting and prayer for a greater move of the Spirit and Salvation coming to those that are lost and he made this comment: "this morning you are having break-fast" in other words, breakfast - the night is over it's time to be replenished. This speaks to those that have been deligently seeking God in giving him the firstfruits of the year (21 days).

As I break-fast today I am still lending an ear to the voice of God and surrendering my all to him because I believe that the benefits, answers, INSTRUCTIONS or whatever you label it, are going to come all year long as well as it has in the 21 days. You see Moses seperated himself for 40 days to get "in the presence of God" not knowing that God would give him the commandments (instructions). We have already seen the mighty hand of God in Salvation to four young people in the last week and a half alone! I'm trusting that we as children of God allow ourselves the opportunity to be changed through prayer and fasting so that our hearts begin to break for the things that break the heart of God. You see some would say that fasting is not important, that they can receive and have prayers answered by just praying and still eating. Well, maybe so, but OH WHAT BENEFITS come to a willing vessel that magnifies the name of the Lord and his wonderous works.

Today's food that I consumed was great, but it doesn't hold a candle to the spiritual nurishment that has been consumed over the past 21 days. I praise the Lord for sustaining me in times of weakness and hunger. I praise the Lord for his guiding hand and I stand on his promise that he will see me through. Wherever the Lord leads me (geographically and spiritually) I want to serve Him!!!! Let us all have break-fast today and be replenished by the hand of God!
