Just a compilation of interesting articles and facts not necessarily my own but are worth mentioning.
WHAT KIND OF FASTING DOES GOD WANT? (Physical or Spiritual)
“No, this is the kind of fasting I want:
– Free those who are wrongly imprisoned;
– lighten the burden of those who work for you.
– Let the oppressed go free, and
– remove the chains that bind people.
– Share your food with the hungry, and
– give shelter to the homeless.
– Give clothes to those who need them, and
– do not hide from relatives who need your help.
Then your salvation will come like the dawn, and your wounds will quickly heal. Your godliness will lead you forward, and the glory of the Lord will protect you from behind. Then when you call, the Lord will answer. ‘Yes, I am here,’ He will quickly reply.” (Isaiah 58:6-9)
God Says Fasting Brings:
-Salvation -Healing -Direction -Protection -Quick Answers to Prayer
NOBODY IS PERFECT, BUT GOD CAN STILL USE YOU AS YOU ARE
- Jacob was a cheater
- Peter had a temper
- David had an affair
- Noah got drunk
- Jonah ran from God
- Paul was a murderer
- Gideon was insecure
- Miriam was a gossiper
- Martha was a worrier
- Thomas was a doubter
- Sara was impatient
- Elijah was moody
- Moses stuttered
- Zacchaeus was short
- Abraham was old

Now what’s your excuse?
Can God use you or not?
God doesn’t call the qualified,
He qualifies the CALLED!!!

WHAT IS YOUR FOUNDATION?
“Surely you desire truth in the inner parts; you teach me wisdom in the inmost place” (Ps 51:6).
Around 1923, the most powerful men of the day ruled the world of money:
- Charles Schwab, president of the largest steel company in America.
- Samuel Insull, president of the largest utility company.
- Howard Hopson, president of the largest gas company.
- Richard Whitney, president of the New York Stock Exchange.
- Albert Fall, Secretary of Interior in President Harding’s cabinet.
- Jesse Livermore, the great “bear” on Wall Street.
- Ivan Krueger, head of the world’s greatest monopoly.
- Leon Fraser, president of the Bank of International Settlements.
These men were “movers and shakers,” the kind many people envy and wish to be like. Yet something went terribly wrong with these men’s lives. Twenty-five years later:
Charles Schwab, left behind an insolvent estate with debts and obligations totalling 1.7 million. Samuel Insull, died of a heart attack in a Paris subway station with 20 cents in his pocket. Howard Hopson, died in a sanitarium Richard Whitney had just been released from Sing-Sing prison. Albert Fall died at home, broke. Jesse Livermore committed suicide a week after Thanksgiving in 1940. Ivan Krueger committed suicide. Leon Fraser committed suicide. Something went wrong during the process of their lives. It began in the inner man. Truth in the inner man is where the integrity battles are won or lost.
Pray that God allows you to live a life of integrity and honesty before the Lord.
