What’s that I see? Is it the finish line?? I think it is… sort of.
As our Ten Day Liquid Fast is coming to an end here pretty soon I wanted to keep encouraging you to stay focused on the Lord, and His voice as we’re almost done. My hope is that each of you finishes spiritually strong, and that you stay that way in the days ahead! As we have been doing this fast, my mind has been drawn on several occasions to a very fitting verse from Proverbs 21:31: “The horse is prepared for the day of battle, but the victory belongs to The Lord.”
I’m reminded once again by that verse that we are in a great partnership with the Lord Himself in this fast. In obedience we have prepared, and are preparing ourselves for the battle(s) we face. That’s our part – obedience to His calling, His instructions. I know the Lord has blessed, and will continue to bless each of you in the days ahead as you continue fighting, and doing your part.
However, I want to draw your attention to the last words of the verse I quoted above: “the victory belongs to The Lord.” Beloved, we have the small part in the victory (i.e. fasting & praying). God has the big part (i.e. pulling off the victory), and NOTHING IS TOO DIFFICULT FOR HIM!!! God is the One who has called this “a fast for victories.” I want to remind you that that’s because He is, and will be the Victor in all things!!
Yeah God!!

Feeling unfocused and ready to quit today. Thanks for the reminder that our part is to be obedient, as I believe this fast IS what God called me to. I need to re-focus! And truely the victory IS HIS! Bless you, Pastor Kent, for giving me the words I needed to hear.
