Please join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years.


Dear Saints,

Today we prayerfully continue our Feast by reading Isaiah Chapter 58.  Hypocrisy and the hypocrite (see Mark 7:6-7) denounced by God.  A proper fast blesses the person fasting, God’s people and (see Matthew 25:35) God. The Sabbath is a covenant between God (see Luke 1:49) and man; “14 Then you shall delight yourself in the Lord; And I will cause you to ride on the high hills of the earth, And feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father. The mouth of the Lord has spoken."” Isaiah 58:14  NKJV.  Jesus encourages us to fast not for selfish reasons but rather (see Matthew 6:16) to get closer to him. “27 To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. 28 Him we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.”  Colossians 1:27-28  NKJV.  We glorify Jesus when our fellowship, prayers and actions glorify (see Colossians 3:16) God. If the Lord is willing I will write and post the Feast tomorrow.


Can you hear Jesus calling you?   Would like to you follow Him?  Do you want to find true happiness, peace and purpose in your life?  If the answer is yes to any of these questions please click the following link; http://admenu.com/calling.html.


Today’s Verse; “[ The Narrow Way ] “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.” Matthew 7:13-14 NKJV.

God, Bless You,

Brother Mike
