Praise the Lord!

As we start this Week of Fasting and Prayer, we want to strengthen you with daily encouragements & scripture highlights that join us in thinking about these next three weeks as more than just going without food… or a spiritual battle… or a discipline to get what you need from God.  All of those things will certainly be aspects that we will encounter, but there is more.

This is a spiritual journey, think of it as a spiritual pilgrimage. A pilgrimage may lead you to a new place physically but primarily leads you to a new place spiritually.

In Psalm 84 the Psalmist is writing about those people who had their heart set on making a pilgrimage to Jerusalem.

Listen to how he writes about those who are making the journey:

“Blessed are those who dwell in your house . . . Blessed are those whose strength is in you.”

The person making the journey is blessed, they have joy, they receive strength, in fact, they go from “strength to strength.”

You’re not making this journey alone, the God who loves you more than you can imagine is calling you to a new place, a new season, a new experience of His glory.

This journey is going to be life-changing, I can’t wait to see all that God is going to do.

God Bless You,
Pastor Gabriel Guerra
