Choose Life

I have been doing a fast with my brother: Fasting from negative thinking for 40 days. It has been quite awesome. The thing that impacted me the most so far is that our success comes from meditating on the Word of God and using it to speak with God and to silence the enemy. In my heart it rings true with violence that the Word of God is alive, and brings life. I once was caught up in a lifestyle of sin, harmful intoxication from all kinds of evils. So one day I say a girl at my work reading the bible, and a siren went off in my spirit. I could not deny the desire to read as well. I didn't even own a bible anymore, so I went to Borders and bought one. I read a chapter of the OT and the NT starting from the beginning each morning and night. Within 6 months my mind was beginning to change, and within a year my desires for the culture of death I was in had been scraped off of me. Then I went to church. So if you or anyone you know needs a revival in their lives, somehow get them the Word of God, it is life, and without it we die. Choose life today. Here are some scriptures from our fast below (sorry no references I was in a rush). www.biblegateway.com

14So Abraham called the name of that place The Lord Will Provide. And it is said to this day, On the mount of the Lord it will be provided.

3Who shall go up into the mountain of the Lord? Or who shall stand in His Holy Place? 4He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted himself up to falsehood or to what is false, nor sworn deceitfully.(A)
32He who did not withhold or spare [even] His own Son but gave Him up for us all, will He not also with Him freely and graciously give us all [other] things?


17As for the rich in this world, charge them not to be proud and arrogant and contemptuous of others, nor to set their hopes on uncertain riches, but on God, Who richly and ceaselessly provides us with everything for [our] enjoyment.

18But you shall [earnestly] remember the Lord your God, for it is He Who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.

11God replied to Solomon, Because this was in your heart and you have not asked for riches, possessions, honor, and glory, or the life of your foes, or even for long life, but have asked wisdom and knowledge for yourself, that you may rule and judge My people over whom I have made you king, 12Wisdom and knowledge are granted you. And I will give you riches, possessions, honor, and glory, such as none of the kings had before you, and none after you shall have their equal.
