Each day during the fast, you'll find a daily devotional to help you in your daily time of prayer, reading, and reflection.  Please check back daily for updates.

Today is day 1 of the 21 Day Fast that Bridges of Hope Fellowship participates in each year.  It was an awesome day in the Lord!  The Spirit of the Lord was moving greatly today at Bridges of Hope in the hearts and lives of the people.  Many people have begun the journey to reclaiming the lost things in their lives.  If you missed it, you can watch online at www.sermon.net/pastord

Fasting Devotional #1

Scripture:

Read 1 Samuel 10

Observation:

Saul was clearly appointed by God as Israel’s first king. As a result of the Holy Spirit’s work

in him, he became a different person. God was everything Saul needed for success, but
as Saul’s power grew, so did his pride. He stopped seeking God’s will, and eventually
jealousy and strife began to decay both him and the nation he had been entrusted to lead.

Application:

Our success depends solely on our devotion to God, not our position, wisdom, or strength.

God honors obedience - we must consistently obey God. Rebellion against God is a
very dangerous sin. As we choose to rebel, we close the door to forgiveness and restoration
with God.

Prayer:

“Father God, I acknowledge that You are everything I need and I commit every area

of my life to You during this season of prayer and fasting. I ask You to forgive me of any disobedience,
arrogance and rebellion. I commit today to walk in obedience to Your Word. I surrender control to You, and ask for Your Spirit to fill me so that I might live a life that glorifies You. In Jesus Name, Amen.“
