Day 4 - Isaiah 61 Fast

{When You said,} "Seek My face," my heart said to You,
"Your face, O LORD, I shall seek."
Psalm 27:8

God reminded us of this verse this morning; it was also talked about at the Prayer Furnace Training last night. This fast is not about twisting God's arm to start a revival. This fast is about seeking the face of God. The Hebrew word for face can me "presence." We are contending for the presence of God to sweep through our lives and churches. I am reminded of Moses who told God, "If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here." (Exodus 33:15) We are nothing without the presence of God, there is no power, no meaning, no lasting satisfaction or purpose without it. God is calling out to us, "Seek my face!" How will we respond? This morning twelve of us responded, "Your face, O LORD, we shall seek."

The promise of God's word will surely come to past as we press in to know God during this fast. He will come to us, change us, empower us, and use us as agents of transformation in Boston.

"So let us know, let us press on to know the LORD His going forth is as certain as the dawn;And He will come to us like the rain,Like the spring rain watering the earth."
Hosea 6:3
