Prayer and Fasting

Next Sunday January 20, we will start our 5 day prayer and fasting time that will end Friday January 25. Each night the church will be open at 7:00 pm so that we can gather together for worship and prayer. I am excited about this and what God will speak into each and everyone of our lives. I was reminded from a blog from Pastor Jeff Leake that in prayer and fasting, we are TURNING AWAY from something and TURNING TO God. We need to make sure that we are not just turning away from something but that we are taking extra time to turn to God. Begin now to prepare your body and mind to do the fast. Let this also be a time of self-discipline so that we can become better caretakers of this earthly body.

I believe this is a going to be a great year of breakthrough for NLC and for Ford City, Kittanning, and Armstrong County. We as a church want to begin this year getting our hearts focused on the Lord and not turning back. Doors are going to be open as we begin to pray and seek God more earnestly. Souls will be saved as we take time to cry out to God for each person on our heart. And I believe that we will begin to walk in greater anointing and power so that we will see signs and wonders. I don't know about you, but I am hungry for the power of the Spirit that transforms lives, to do His thing in my life and in all of our lives.

Let's get ready to seek Him with hearts full of expectancy of what He is going to do as we pray and fast. Remember, set goals of what you want to pray for this coming week. As a body, I want us to be praying for peace and prosperity for this area and for salvation for the lost.
