“And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights…” – Matthew 4:2
If you fast forward to Matthew 4:12, you will see that right
after these forty days and forty nights of fasting, Jesus began His Galilean
ministry. As we enter this next season
in Six78, our hope and prayer is to come together as The Church to fast and
pray for this ministry, this new season for all incoming 6th
graders, the next year or two for the 7th and 8th
graders, for summer camp, for various prayer requests from our students and
many other things.
So find that small thing, whatever it is, that you can fast
from. Maybe it’s a meal a day, or that
morning cup of Starbucks, social media, a certain kind of food, whatever it is,
make that sacrifice. 1 Corinthians 9:27
says, “but I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, I have
preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.” Fasting is a discipline, but it’s something
to better us and strengthen us.
And then, take time to pray for the prayer requests we send
each week along with anything else the Lord leads you to pray about. “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and
you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” (Matthew 7:7). We know God wants to bless us abundantly, but
we have to do the simple thing in asking our requests. He WILL answer our prayers!
We are excited for what The Lord will do in Six78 in the future
and we already are praising and thanking Him for the good work He will do. Please partner with us in “A Fresh Start” and
be a huge part of what God’s doing here!
Prayer Requests:
- Radical Jesus Summer Camp (Six78 and HSM) - Everything comes together well and the students have an encounter with God that will last the rest of their lives.
- Scholarship money for camp – We want students to go, but there is a cost involved. So pray that we have enough money to send all the students that need help financially to go.
- Vision and direction for Six78 Leadership – We don’t want to be set in our ways, we want to do what God is calling us to do. Pray we hear and listen to His voice.
- Pray for Sean Fryer as he teaches tonight and Pastor Fidel as he teaches this weekend in Six78
