We are continuing with the 40 day prayer and fasting emphasis. There are several things that we must be aware of in the midst of and coming out of a concerted time of prayer and fasting. Let me just highlight one: Spiritual Warfare. We enjoy the rationalization that goes something like this, " If I spend time praying and fasting things will have to get better." It sounds good....but sometimes things get worse before they get better. We often don't address the warfare element. We need to be fully alert during a season like this. Is your "spiritual antenna" operating?

Matthew 4:1-3 "Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil. After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. The tempter came to him and said......"

It was after the fasting that the warfare began. Don't be afraid of that. Be mindful and ready. Stay focused.

God is desiring to do great things in our midst! Let's pray and fast towards that end.
