Fasting as Excitement


Today I’m excited!  Excited about this new season for our church.  So many people are fasting and praying together.  It is like God is opening our heart and shining his glory into each one of our lives.  As a staff we have experienced new levels of togetherness and new insights together.  We have already seen miracles happen and this has only been going on for three days!  God is moving in ways we have been praying about for months.  So I’m excited.  I’m looking for all the new ways God is moving in our people, among our staff, in our community.  I am prepared to be amazed, baffled, perplexed by the glory of God.

Today let the distraction melt away and concentrate on what God is going to do in our body (the church).  The passion He has given our students, the talent He has given our worship Team, the purpose He has given our staff, I can’t be anything but expectant of miracles.  Honestly, I am excited to be apart of this move of God.  It brings joy to my heart, purpose to my steps, and direction to my day. 

So what has fasting got to do with the excitement?  For me it removed the day to day grind.   The distractions of the mundane, of the to do list, of the normal.  Fasting has brought the move of God back to the forefront of my mind.  Maybe today you need to see God at the front of your life not the side or the back but in Hid rightful place as the divine driver.  Often I forget that God is driving this thing, not me, not you, or someone else.  That this is God’s body not mine.  Its simple really but oh so exciting!

Action Steps:
How is God opening your mind to new things in this season?
What are you most excited about in the future for BridgePointe?
Where have you seen God moving in this season?
Journal it!!!
