2023 LENT- "Fulfilled" (Week 1)

 

ASH Wednesday

“I am confident of this, that the one who began a good work among you will bring it to completion by the day of Jesus Christ” (Phil. 1:6)."

^{14 What is the benefit, my fellow believers, if someone claims to have faith but has no [good] works [as evidence]? Can that [kind of] faith save him? [No, a mere claim of faith is not sufficient—genuine faith produces good works.](James 2:14)}

 

Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent, the season (40 days) of preparation as we remember the resurrection of Jesus Christ on Easter.  Some persons decide to just concentrate on fasting from certain foods, electronics, TV programs, etc...,  ALIVE In The Word challenge is not to just  “Fast”,  but live in the fulfillment of Christ’s ministry, death, resurrection, and what life lesson can be learned and applied in our everyday life, and allow God to “fulfill” you.  We pray that this Life Application Devotional will do just that, to be “fulfilled” by God within these 40 days...Remain in the Hands of God and watch God Work…

(What will you be “Praying” about and what will you “Fast” from (Food (red and fried/pork meats, fast foods, sweets, pops, TV/Facebook/Internet, etc…most important How will God “fulfill” you... and how will God use you to be a blessing…)  

During these 40 Days we will allow God to begin a Good Work starting on Ash Wednesday with Faith in action, Complete the Work on Resurrection Sunday

Let's Start this week in repentance so that God can create and fulfill in us a clean heart and renew a right spirit as we operate in faith daily during this Lent.

Sentence Prayer: God I place myself into your hands so that you may fulfill me during this Lent Season and beyond this Lent Season…
