Fast Forward: The Holy Convocation.

On the night of March 27 and the day of March 28, Bronx Bethany will be in prayer and fasting.

I hope that, for those readers who are members of Bronx Bethany, you will be at church for both events. If you show up, I really hope that you show up because you deeply desire to have a significant, life-changing encounter with God. His Spirit is present to empower, encourage, and equip those who earnestly seek Him. Be advised, though, He is NOT present to entertain you- so if you were planning on showing up just to be a disinterested or disdaining spectator, it might be safer for you to stay home.

If you are not familiar with fasting in conjunction with prayer, "God's Chosen Fast" by Arthur Wallis is a relatively short, easy-to-read book that can give you a concise overview of why we fast, how to fast, and practical advice on beginning and ending the fasting process. It's a classic and you'll find it a welcome addition to your personal library.

God has said that we will seek Him, and find Him, when we seek Him with all our heart. If you have never given yourself totally to God, perhaps now is the time to abandon your agenda and embrace His. Why wait any longer?

Blessings and peace to you, my friends. Lord willing, we'll meet here again next Tuesday.

Love,
Genise
