SOURCE RECOGNITION
Day 1: Psalm 27
We learned that the first and most important part of fasting preparation is the recognition of your source. David establishes this in Psalm 27:1. Satan wants us to see the issues of the day, or the problems we have to face, but we must never see anything before we recognize our source.
Recognition requires us to declare with our mouths who He is. As our Light, He shines to light the way and expel darkness. As our Salvation, He saves us from whatever desires to stand before us. Establishing anyone/thing else as a source would result in disaster for your day. Before you establish anything today, declare who Jesus is.
Prayer:
Jesus. I thank you for the day that you have given me. There is no problem or situation that can create a day full of darkness. They can only try to alter what You have made. They alter it by putting negative thoughts into my mind which produce negative words for me to speak into the day. So, I declare that the darkness of this day cannot and will not affect me. I speak the truth of God into my day and declare that You are the Source of all that I need in this day.
It is written that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. I receive Your word.
Amen!
