With the upcoming fast at LTG and with our partners across the world, I thought this article would help many out with some great insight from a great teacher that poured his life into reaching people for the Kingdom of God.

21 Day Fast
Start the year 2010 spiritually strong by joining us in a 21 day season of prayer and fasting. As a church, we have seen increased salvations, breakthroughs and miracles as we put God first at the onset of the year. This year, as we unite with hundreds of pastors, churches and ministries all around the world, we will harness the power of praying and fasting together.
Whether you’ve fasted before or if this will be your first time, Awakening is designed so that you can participate at any level. Fasting tips, resources and tools, including information for kids and youth are available at http://www.awake21.org.

When God Moves
Have you ever been around static electricity? The closer you get to it the stronger its effects on you. A good term for this effect is called a proximity effect. But I want to look at it from another perspective. The Spiritual Proximity Effect. Simply stated, the farther we move away from the presence of God the more dry our spiritual life becomes. The closer we stay the more vibrant our lives are.
Ezekiel 37 tells the story of the valley of dry bones and how God breathed life back into the dry bones but only after Ezekiel prophesied over them like God commanded him... But what did the vision of the bones mean…. In short, the Israelites had angered God by allowing idols into their lives. The bones were not just lifeless…. But very dry…. When we allow idols into our lives it separates us from the presence of God and we grow more distant from His Glory. So what is it in your life that is causing spiritual “Dryness” in your life? We all have walked that desert before but if we understand the formula that causes this dryness then we can deal with the issue much faster. This is the simple formula; Distance + Disobedience = Dryness... We need to stay close to the presence of God.
