The Fast: DAY 7
Saturday, January 10
Matthew 5:6 (NKJV)
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled.”
Devotion
One Word – just a word from our Lord Jesus, and we can be set free! No more addiction. No more shame. No more secret sins. No more uncontrolled anger. No more cycles of depression.
As we focus on the Lord Jesus and His righteousness during this 21-day fast, allow Him to move freely in our lives. Surrender all. Obey Him in all things. Give Him all the glory. Only He is able to save us. And by faith, we are justified and made whole. Only He is able to restore us to Himself and save us from a life of sin and shame. He is the One, True, Living God who rescues us and redeems us from the pit. Only by His grace, through faith, are we saved, through His finished work on the cross.
Ephesians 2:8–9 (NKJV): “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.”
He is the Only Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Him.
In Psalms 24:3–5 (NKJV): “Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.”
Today's Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You for Your free gift of salvation. As we fast and pray for 21 days, enable us to seek You with all our heart and reveal secret things to transform us and mold us into the image of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Because of faith, we receive the righteousness of God upon us to walk in freedom and gratitude, in humble obedience to Your will and purpose for our lives. In the Name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
Apply It Today
“The righteous shall live by faith.” As we step out in hopeful expectation that our Lord Jesus has already gone before us, we boldly claim and declare salvation, deliverance, healing, and restoration for our loved ones and for the people we have been praying for. God has given us authority to share the good news of salvation with the nations, to deliver those who are bound, and to set the captives free.
