Another Monday, another fast day for me in Kibera. This being the 1st Monday of the month there are also many Turning Point supporters fasting and praying for God's future for TP.
Last week at homegroup I shared about why I was fasting, and they all decided to introduce a weekly time of prayer and fasting for issues that people within our group are facing. We are concentrating on one or two issues, and expecting to see answers - it's exciting!
Today in Piper's book I've been reading about the importance of learning from others in history who have incorporated fasting as a method of supporting the ministry they are involved in. And one thing I wasn't taught in history at school is that in 1756 the King of England called for a national day of fasting, to avert a threatened invasion by the French. It worked!
We are continuing our warfare prayer in Kibera, and several of us have experienced some spiritual attacks in the last few days, so we definitely need to continue this type of prayer. It's great to know that, through Jesus, we already have the victory!
I'll end this update with a thought, again from Piper's book:
Fasting puts the exclamation mark at the end of our prayer!
