If you will turn (repent) and give heed to my reproof, behold, I [Wisdom] will pour out my spirit upon you, I will make my words known to you. - Proverbs 1:23 We need to pray and obey God's leading when He speaks to us. Obedience is not to be an occasional event for us; it is to be our way of life. There's a big difference between people who are willing to obey God daily and those who are only willing to obey to get out of trouble. God certainly shows people how to get out of trouble, but He bestows abundant blessings on those who decide to live wholeheartedly for Him and who make obedience to Him their lifestyle.

We get into trouble through making a series of wrong decisions, and with God’s help, we will get our lives straightened out by a series of right decisions. It took more than a day to get into trouble, and it will take more than a day to get out. Anyone who is ready and willing to make a real investment of time and right choices can see his or her life turn around for the better. God’s mercy is new every day. He is waiting to give you mercy, grace, favor, and help; all you have to d...

All around the world, God is calling His people to the discipline of fasting. Christian leaders of various denominations have begun to use their influence to call their followers  to fast and pray for a spiritual awakening in our land and revival in our churches. In various  communities, God has already begun to answer that prayer. This study guide has been prepared to help you grow in the discipline of fasting. For some,  fasting may be something new to their Christian life. Others may have fasted for years. In each  case, these studies are designed to help you better understand as an individual or in a group setting  the biblical principles of the fasts God has chosen. Many Christians still struggle with the need for fasting today. In the introduction to Fasting  for Spiritual Breakthrough, I suggest nine reasons why the spiritual discipline of fasting is needed  today. 1. More than ever before, believers are in bondage to demonic powers and need s...
