REVIVAL TALK

One of the greatest disciplines available to the New Testament Church is the discipline of fasting. Fasting is a powerful tool in our arsenal. We are called to fast and pray. Pastor Mahesh Chavda writes, “Nearly every Christian I have talked with has had some questions and misconceptions about fasting.” Fasting is a discipline that we have neglected in the twenty first century church.

He was delayed, but He was not denied. Joshua 24:12 records his words, “ Now therefore, give me this mountain of which the Lord spoke in that day.” This mountain was his promised inheritance. You and I have a promised inheritance. What is our inheritance? Psalms 2:8 - “Ask of Me and I will give you the nations as your inheritance, and the ends of the earth as your possession.” A part of our inheritance is the harvest that God has appointed for us to reap. I believe that there are some Caleb’s who have carried some long term promises that God has kept for this hour and is now going to bring them forth.
