Matthew 6:17-18
  • Fasting and prayer go hand in hand; you almost can’t have without the other,
  • Fasting helps to increase our spiritual activity
  • Fasting is to abstain from gratifying any physical appetite
  • Fasting should be a spiritual exercise. It can aid in one’s prayer life; it is valuable in times of crisis when one wishes to discover the will of God
  • It is valuable in promoting self- discipline
  • Fasting is a matter between an individual and God and should be done only with adesire to please Him
  • Fasting brings a note of urgency and importance into our prayer

Fasting helps in:
1. Governing oneself
2. Contentment
3. Personal Growth
4. Endurance

Fasting alone accomplishes little except to cause us to eat more at the next meal.
Prayer by itself is often limited or blocked in some way. But prayer and fasting
together produce miracles.

As we begin our spiritual journey with Christ we are enlightened about our daily spiritual warfare between our flesh and spirit (Romans 7:23) 

God must transform our carnal minds to spiritual that we may comprehend the mind of God. (Romans 12:2) 

An intimate relationship with God allows us to become sensitive to the nature of God and desire to be as Christ. We submit  to God’s ways when we want to please God more than self. 

Submission comes at the high cost of dying to our fleshly desires and character and taking on the mind of Christ, which is the process of brokenness.
]]><![CDATA[Pride]]>Thu, 30 Dec 2021 15:20:51 GMThttps://www.bwcministries.org/addional-blogs/pridePride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall
Proverbs 16:18

Pride wears arrogance as a robe.
Pride rejects wisdom
Pride sees everyone else as inferior 
Pride ignores sound instruction 
Pride makes one rebel against correction 
Pride refuses needed support from others
Pride refuses to examine one self
Pride refuses to compromise 
Pride prevents resolutions 
Pride destroys relationships 
Pride makes us defensive toward God 
Pride justifies rather than accepts change
Pride is an enemy of humility

Pride will prevent growth and maturity in our lives and cause unnecessary pain, and in some instances irreversible consequences.

Humility allows brokenness to come forth that God may work through us that we may be a blessing to others.]]><![CDATA[stand Ephesians 6:13]]>Thu, 30 Dec 2021 15:10:25 GMThttps://www.bwcministries.org/addional-blogs/stand-ephesians-613As we live each day representing the kingdom of God, let us be determined to keep fighting and standing strong in the faith.

Colossians 3:1 
Set- to put in the proper or desired order.
God wants us to be heavenly minded. As his children we desire to know more about him and what his kingdom has for us.  
-Kingdom- a government having a king as its head. 
-Isaiah 9:7 My established government has no end. 
​
God’s conversation with us, his children:
"Your experiences throughout life have distorted and scarred your view of love and I need to transform your thinking that your hope may be restored."
Matthew 11:28 God invited us, “Come to me and let me lift the burdens on your heart. I want you to learn firsthand of my character and who I am"
-Character-the aggregate (total) of features (special attraction) and traits that form the  individual’s nature of some person or thing.
Matthew 11:29 I want your soul to find rest in me for the world has wearied your soul

I John 4:8 My attraction is love
St John 3:16 I love u so much, that I allowed my son, Jesus to die in your stead, for your sins against me.  You are my creation made in my image and after my likeness, to love others. I want to have an intimate relationship with you on earth that you may live eternally with me in heaven. 

Matt. 6:33 Learn about my kingdom, want me more than anything else. I have treasures for you in heaven. Make me your priority.

​We expect to live eternally with God  When we know God’s promises to us it will move us to want to understand the heart of God that we may be the examples in the earth.

A gurney is provided for those who are sick or severely injured and need medical assistance. Unfortunately in this walk with God we may experience being deeply hurt by our brethren in the church, and our injury causes us to feel incapable to function. In spite of our mental and emotional condition, the Apostle Paul comforts us in Philippians 4:19, God will supply all of our needs according to his riches in glory.

Therefore, as believers, even though we are wounded we have no reason to remain on the gurney as one who has no help or cannot be totally healed… for God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1
]]><![CDATA[Peace be still mark 4:39]]>Thu, 30 Dec 2021 14:47:41 GMThttps://www.bwcministries.org/addional-blogs/peace-be-still-mark-439Jesus and His disciples were in a ship passing to the other side. As they crossed, a storm arose. The winds were so strong and the waves beat into the ship so that it was now full.

The disciples awoke Jesus asking, "Master, do you not care that we are about to die?" Jesus arose and rebuked the wind, "Peace be still" and there was a great calm.

When you are in the midst of a storm and it appears that you will perish, or when you are facing a dilemma that is overwhelming, rest assured the same Jesus will speak, "Peace be still" to your life so that you are not destroyed.
