“Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.”

Ephesians 5:17

This scripture tells us to understand what the Lord wants us to do, for the days are evil. We are living in a time of constant change, pestilence and uncertainty, yet God is Sovereign and Faithful. Our world is clearly broken. We can’t fix it on our own. The situation is too complex, too culturally varied to figure out on our own. Just when we think we’ve figured things out, they change. We must keep a posture of humility before the Lord, asking for his continuous guidance.

This is a time for prayer and fasting to discern what God has for us. There is a movement quietly starting of people hungry for a word from God, thirsty to hear God speak and do what only God can. We are sensing from our prayer partners around the world, a call to extended fasting during this season. Many of our own staff have committed to praying and fasting, some even committing to weeks and months of fasting.

God is speaking. He asks only that we get quiet enough to hear, still enough to wait.

Our world is hungry for something authentic and real, something of depth. We’re all tired of trite answers, easy platitudes, and hypocritical performances. We want an experience of the living God’s presence among us.

Do you want to flourish as we move forward? Increase your capacity to listen to God. Set aside additional time just to listen and take this aspect of your life to a new level. Psalm 133:1

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
