10 Days of Prayer & Fasting

Welcome to our community site for sharing thoughts and reflections on the life we share in Christ. This has been set up for the purpose of allowing us to share our thoughts and insights during the 10 days of prayer and fasting from Thursday (May 21, 2009) til Saturday (May 30, 2009) in preparation for Pentecost Sunday. We have been in a season of prayer and fasting since Resurrection Sunday. This last 10 days is to reflect the intensity of need that the disciples felt when Jesus returned to heaven in order to send the promised Holy Spirit to indwell His people.

We are praying for a "time of refreshing" and part of the preparation is repentance. God wants a pure people who are not distracted by sin and the world. Fasting and prayer is a form of humbling ourselves before God. We are admitting our powerlessness and sinfulness. And we are anticipating that a fresh wind of blessing will be poured out from Heaven for us so that we may be more effective as witnesses of Jesus in this world.

If you are participating in this 10 days of prayer, please feel free to share on this site. Not sure how this will work but felt led by the Spirit to make this tool for communicating with one another available to us.
