There will not be a LIVE Raven Broadcast tonight because some of our teams will be conducting after-Christmas food outreaches, while others are either out or town or on the road traveling during the Holiday. The LIVE broadcast will resume next Tuesday January 2nd with a special prayer and ministry emphasis. Details below:
For the past (16) years of ministry, we have opened each calendar year with a special time of prayer, fasting, and consecration before the Lord. This time that we set apart has ranged from 3 to 40 days of fasting and prayer and we have seen the hand of God move powerfully during this time of seeking Him
The results of this season of intense prayer and consecration have truly been the catalyst for the heart and vision that God has entrusted us to over the years. Initially being strictly a “Church” thing when we pastored in Texas, it has since spread to include our teams and friends around the nation who have joined with us for vision, victory and revival.
This year, we are calling a (7) day fast, beginning at 12:00 AM on January 1st (that would be midnight on the 31st) and culminating at 12:00 AM on January 8th (that would be midnight in the 7th).
I will be posting information regarding this period of fasting and prayer throughout the week on our blog (www.ravenoutreach.blogspot.com) for you to read. I will include directives, Biblical truths concerning fasting, and the opportunity for you to send in your prayer requests for us to all stand together for.
Next Tuesday’s LIVE Raven-Cast will be one hour of LIVE Intercessory prayer from our home-studio here in Daytona Beach. We will take your prayer requests and stand with you in faith during that time.
If you desire to join with us during his time of fasting and prayer, please email me to include you on the prayer-warriors list for the duration of the seven day season. They type of fasting that you do is between you and the Holy Spirit. (I will deal with various fasts this week on the blog).
Personally, I typically do a no-solid food, liquid-only fast. I avoid milk products (whole food) and concentrated fruit juices as well. That is how I fast, how you decided to participate should be based upon your personal health and spiritual convictions.
This passage of scripture will serve as the basis for this special time of ministry and consecration before the Lord.
Isaiah 58:6-12 “Is this not the fast that I have chosen: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, and that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out; when you see the naked, that you cover him, and not hide yourself from your own flesh? Then your light shall break forth like the morning, your healing shall spring forth speedily, and your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard. Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer; you shall cry, and He will say, 'Here I am.' "If you take away the yoke from your midst, the pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness, If you extend your soul to the hungry and satisfy the afflicted soul, then your light shall dawn in the darkness, and your darkness shall be as the noonday. The LORD will guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in drought, and strengthen your bones; you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail. Those from among you shall build the old waste places; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach, the Restorer of Streets to Dwell In.”
I will deal with each of these challenges and promises in the blog as the week progresses! God has some AWESOME things in store for His Body in 2007! Let’s start it off with a time of HEARER and HEEDING!
Let me know that you are standing with us during this time of prayer and fasting!
Blessings,
