Bursting Out Of It!

S.E.E.D. For Today: 

Scripture: "Is this not the the fast which I have chosen: Loosen the bonds of wickedness." (Isaiah 58:6)

Explanation: There should be the right motive when we fast. The people of God in Isaiah observed but there was no change in them. When fasting we do not want to look at it as a religious ritual, but a means to transformation. The fruit of repentance ought to be evident in relationship with one another and our neighbor. If we fast and persist in arrogance, stubbornness, fighting and strife then we are only doing this out of routine.

Exercise: Prayer is important to experience the grace and power of God when fasting. Without the consistency of prayer we will not see breakthrough. God is challenging us to do the fast He has chosen, the first means of business is releasing or loosing the bonds of wickedness. Whatever besets itself and entangles you again under the same slave system of missing the mark with God has to let you go. I challenge you today to confront the misses your aware of and let the spirit of it know it has to come up off of you and loose you. The goal is true freedom and nothing less!

Devotion: Lord I pray that as I fast the fast you have chosen that You will loose the bonds of wickedness, that wrestle with me and with others.  I declare that myself nor my neighbor will no longer be a prisoner to the things that continually attack and try to attach itself to us. I declare today that we are Bursting Out Of It! In Jesus Name, Amen!
