Just 40 Days
Let's think back to Easter
21 days ago
then
19 days before that
when we began our fast for
40 Days~
fasting from
the weights that weigh us down.
There is no magic in the number
but boy oh boy
there is transformation in
40 Days
when you lose
40 Pounds
because you gain so much more...
more of
Him.
40 Days...
Noah experienced them
And rain fell upon the earth forty days and forty nights. Genesis 7:12
Moses experienced them
Moses entered the cloud and went up on the mountain. And Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights. Exodus 24:18
And He lived through them again
Then once again I fell prostrate before the Lord for forty days and forty nights; I ate no bread and drank no water, because of all the sin you had committed, doing what was evil in the Lord’s sight and so arousing His anger. Deuteronomy 9:18, 25
Even Jesus experienced the
40 Days
After fasting forty days and forty nights, He was hungry. Matthew 4:2
And again
when Jesus walked for 40 Days after He rose from the dead
He appeared to them over a period of forty days
and spoke about the kingdom of God. Acts 1:3
40 Days
is possible...
but when
40 Days
doesn't promote change
40 years
are needed,
like the Israelites
who wandered through them...
Remember how the Lord your God led you all the way in the wilderness these forty years, WHY?
to humble
and test you in order to know what was in your heart,
whether or not you would keep his commands.
He
humbled
you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna,
which neither you nor your ancestors had known,
WHY?
to teach you that
man does not live on bread alone
but on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord. Deuteronomy 8:1-3
WHY?
To humble me
To humble you
40 Days
to teach me
to teach you
that man does not live on bread alone
but on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord. Deuteronomy 8:1-3
Are you ready to take another
40 Days..
of making
The Great Exchange~
by Putting off
by Putting on
and then
Putting into practice
His Word.
40 Life changing Days...
Beginning
May 9~
40 Days
until
June 18~
Father's Day~
how appropriate..
A day of remembrance and thanksgiving
not only to our earthly father's
but to
Our Father
Our Creator
Who
you will
grow closer to
over the next
40 Days
as we
Walk with the
One
Who walked for
40 more Days
even after He rose from the dead.
Jesus~
never finished with us
because
He is so much more.
So
Let's
get ready to put on-
whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—
And then
put it into practice.
And the God of peace will be with you.
Philippians 4:8-9
