Day 1 – JANUARY 5, 2025

Prayer and Fasting that pleases God
 

Scripture: Romans 12:2

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

 

Devotion:  This is our time and season for transformation! We begin the year with 21 days of prayer and fasting to surrender to God and allow Him to take control of our lives. It is during this time that we ‘consecrate’ ourselves which means ‘to be set apart’ for God’s use. Consecration requires a renewed mind. As the year gains momentum, we seek God’s face, deny our flesh and feed our spirit. God desires to draw you closer to Him in order to speak to your heart and mind. He wants to tune your spirit in His presence, renew your mind, tune your ears to His voice and turn your eyes to His movement. He desires to prepare you to do His good,acceptable, and perfect will.  However, to truly be transformed by this time of self-denial, our prayer and fasting must please God. The Lord God must be pleased by our time with Him. It

is critically important that we confess and repent of all sin and have a right spirit in the presence of God. For that to occur, we must mean business with God and set aside intentional time daily to worship, pray, fast and study of His Word.

Fasting is a spiritual discipline that is essential to spiritual growth in our relationship with God as believers. If we desire God’s presence in our life, to hear His voice and our prayers to be heard on high… Prayer and Fasting. Fasting that pleases God draws us closer to Him and He draws close to us. Prayer and Fasting with True repentance places us in God’s presence in a powerful way. Isaiah 65:24 says:

“It shall come to pass

That before they call, I will answer;

And while they are still speaking, I will hear.

God desire the Holy Spirit to change our hearts during this time of Fasting to serve Him more diligently and spend time with Him to build our Faith to trust Him in all things and do the work of ministry.
 
Be intentional! Be transformed! Hear God’s voice as you start the year.
 

It’s Time to Pray: Father God, help me to take this time of prayer and fasting seriously. Transform me and change me in Your presence by the power of Your Spirit. Please prepare me to do Your acceptable and perfect will this year. In Jesus’ name, AMEN!
