"When you fast" Jesus included fasting with praying and giving in Matt. 6

"And when you fast" Mat. 6:16. We must fast in crisis times and decisions. Jesus fasted for forty days just before he was tempted of Satan Matt 4:2. In Acts 13, the church at Antioch fasted and prayed.and while they did God called Paul and Barnabas. Pretty fruitful results. In the church I pastored, we prayed and fasted and saw over 30 people called into ministry when they had none in 30 years before. I hope your church fasts and sees such results.

Fasting is used to humble one's soul before God Ps 35:11-13, and to "chasten one's with fasting" Ps 69:10. We all need both..Daniel "Prayed unto the Lord...to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting and sackcloth and ashes" Dan 9:3,4. It was serious spiritual exercises in his day. God tells us " Therefore also now saith the Lord, turn ye even to me with all your heart and with fasting, and with weeping and with mourning" Joel 2:12.

THINK, if the 50 million "born again" Christians of America seriously prayed and fasted over our coming elections and future we might see God intervene and turn us back to God and His blessing. 2 Chron 7:14.

I prayed and fasted for three days last week and am fasting three days this week and will do so next week for me and our nation. Millions are also fasting. Please join, get others and let's see God intervene and He be glorified. ABC Sumner

"It doesn't matter if you try and try and try again, and fail. It does matter if you try and fail, and fail to try again."

"Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord" Ps 33:12

He has been our God for these hundreds of years and now Satan, the atheists, the godless etc are taking him out until it has been said, "The United States is no longer a Christian nation but a nation of Christians, Muslims, Hindus etc. God help us if that becomes a reality. We too could face the wrath of Almighty God.

We MUST pray passionately, preach the same, practice our faith in Christ, promote His name and vote the same or we want be able to sing, "God bless America"

I am deeply concerned as I know you are too. We must pray and fast and seek His face lest multitudes criticize our "National Anthem" and our "Pledge of Allegiance" as some already have.

You dear people in other lands please pray with us that the Lord God of the Bible still be our God. I love you all dearly, ABC Sumner

"Let all the earth fear the Lord, let all the inhabitants stand in awe of Him" Ps 33:8 Read Ps 34 and make it your testimony.

"Seek ye the Lord while He may be found"

 

"Pray for Kings, all in authority and all men" do you?

God says, "Pray for 1. Kings, (Our President and all other "rulers", etc), 2. "all in authority" does that ever cover a lot of influential people, 3. "all men" "That we might lead a quiet and peaceable life" for God "would have all men to be saved". 1 Tim 2:1-4.

This is really URGENT. Are we living a "quiet and peaceable life"? NO, NO, NO, Do you have any idea why we are not? It is because we are not praying DAILY for ALL Kings, All in authority and ALL men and I think it must be DAILY. The devil has us hood winked and most think because once a year the church or your pastor prays for them we have really done what the Lord says. If you or your child were really ill wouldn't you want the pastor and people to pray for you DAILY and not just once? Make sense?

You pray for them to be saved. 1 Tim 2:4

You pray for "wisdom" for God says above all things ask for wisdom. It is more precious that "diamonds" and "treasures" and will keep you from "the strange woman" and the "evil man". Prov 2, 3. you must read James 1:5.

The election this week is the most important one of all of my life and maybe the history of America if God is God and we acknowledge Him as our God. We must vote for a president who is going to keep our God as God in whom we trust. Make sense?.

You MUST give all the kids a gospel tract as they go trick or treating. I have some fabulous stories of people being saved and that is the only thing that is going to change our world. Make sense?

"For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"

1 Tim 1:5. "Believest thou this?"

"Be ye doers of the word and not hearers only" James 1:22. Make sense?
