that we're ultimates, as long as we are for Christ
ultimates in our work [phil 1:6]
ultimates in our status [titus 3:7]
ultimates in our spirits where no one can fault us [1 tim 4:12]
for Christ, as I can do all things through him who gives me strength [phil 4:13]
hence the ultimates

ok, long posts are hard to read, soo.. heres a 1 min easy read.

We spent about 2 months just skimming through the old testiment, and one key activity that we never talked about was fasting.

Fasting, as we all are familiar in deed, is strangely foreign in Spirit. It's a practice much forgotten, but i have to say still holds the same power as when the ancients carried it out.

I used to wonder what benefit is there for God when we fast. I don't really get why He wants us to fast too. pretty tough to fast too, esp if you need tons of energy to carry on with the day.

But then i learnt that fasting is for us to remember who's in control. It's a humbling act of love. Here's a short story from the Bible.

Remember Ezra? He was one of the dudes that wanted to bring the remants of Israel back to Jerusalem. Here's the acct.

Ezra 8:21-23 (New International Version)
21 There, by the Ahava Canal, I proclaimed a fast, so that we might humble ourselves before our God and ask him for a safe journey for us and our children, with all our possessions.

22 I was ashamed to ask the king for soldiers and horsemen to protect us from enemies on the road, because we had told the king, "The gracious hand of our God is on everyone who looks to him, but his great anger is against all who forsake him."

23 So we fasted and petitioned our God about this, and he answered our prayer.

Ezra had two options ; ask the King of Persia for back up (the Carnal option)
or ask the King of King for help (the Spiritual option).

He chose the Spiritual one.

So lets do the same thing. Trying to keep it short, so here goes:

TASK 2:

We fast as a cell on the friday during lunch. We take 10 mins to pray and seek God. nothing fancy, just wanting to let Him know that we know He is still in control.

Let's do it alwite?
