2025 Young Adult Retreat is in the books! Had a great time this weekend with this crew. There were lots of laughs, personal testimonies, and much needed time away together.

We encountered a lot of obstacles this year, including sickness, work schedules, a last minute speaker adjustment due to unforeseen emergency, and other small issues. Nevertheless, we overcame!

We missed those who couldn’t make it, and we regret that some had to leave early. It turned out to be a great retreat though! So glad we had this time together.

Remember, fasting brings solutions from the Lord.

Acts 9:8-19 details how the Apostle Paul had a life-altering encounter with Jesus. This encounter had caused Paul to be temporarily blind. Paul obeyed the Lord’s instructions and went into the city and awaited further instructions.

During his time of waiting, Paul fasted and prayed. The result was that God sent Ananias to heal Paul’s blindness and to give him direction for his life. Our salvation encounter with Christ should be so life-altering that we realize we are spiritually blind. The way we’ve always seen life, doesn’t line up with how Jesus sees it.

The direction we saw our life taking, isn’t always the direction Jesus intended for our lives to go. Jesus saves us and removes us from the crowd we used to run with; from the mission we had selfishly been on. But continual submission is necessary in order to receive spiritual eyesight, to walk in the knowledge of His will, and have spiritual understanding.

Fasting and Prayer puts us in a place to receive our Spiritual Eyesight. The scales that have been inhibiting us from seeing things like Jesus, falls off, and we begin to see the direction the Lord is taking. We can’t see our life like Jesus does [your calling, purpose, assignment] until the scales fall off. We can’t view the situation, or the person, the way Jesus does until the scales fall off.

Fasting and Prayer brings things into perspective. It’s in this time where we receive insight and the strength and wisdom for the crucial decisions we face.
Spiritual vision is needed for solutions to life’s problems. Fasting and Prayer is where Spiritual Vision is received.

Keep fasting! Solutions are coming.

ENCOURAGEMENT...

I want to encourage you while you’re fasting. If you haven’t yet, make an attempt to join us in fasting. You are welcome to text me privately if you have questions. If you’ve already started, keep going! It will be worth it.

Here is some devotional encouragement:

Fasting brings solutions to our problems. Fasting gives us direction and gives us strength to do what needs to be done.

Ezra 8:21-23; 31 explains how Ezra led the second group of exiles out of Babylonian and back to Jerusalem. This group included men, women, children, and most likely many elderly. {This is based upon how they were originally captured: young men, upper class, and then the poor.}

They also were carrying treasures that would amount to millions today. Their journey would take them approximately 4 months (Ezra 7:9), and would expose them to the possibility of enemies, ambushes, and animal attacks.

Ezra proclaimed a fast for Israel’s protection. He could have requested an es**rt by Persian soldiers, but Ezra felt that would look negatively upon God. Ezra said, “For I was ashamed to request of the king an es**rt of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy on the road, because we had spoken to the king, saying, “The hand of our God is upon all those for good who seek Him, but His power and His wrath are against all those who forsake Him.” (Ezra 8:22)

In our own journey of life, we face the possibility of enemy attack. We also are faced with many decisions concerning where to go, or what to do, or how it should be done. Fasting and Prayer allows us to humble ourselves and acknowledge our total dependance upon the Lord.

We don’t always know the direction we need to go, or the decision we need to make. We don’t always have the answers. It’s in a time of fasting and prayer where we realize we can’t just rely on self. We can’t look to self for the answers. We can’t handle everything on our own. Our dependence is upon the Lord!

A lifestyle of fasting and prayer, displays a life surrendered to the Lord. The Lord is faithful to answer, direct and bless those whose dependence is on Him!

Quick devotional to help you as we move forward into this new year. In 2 Corinthians 5:9 Paul wrote, "Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him." Paul said, his aim was to please the Lord. My question for you this year is, "what are you aiming for?"

If the sights on a gun are off by the smallest fraction, the one aiming will MISS their target. This year our sights need to be set on pleasing the Lord. In everything we do, we need to ask ourselves, is this pleasing to the Lord?

I encourage you to set your sights on Jesus. Don't allow the distractions of life, or the opinions of people keep you from serving the Lord and being more committed to Him than ever before. Be determined to please Him this year!

Have a great rest of your day!
