So run to win! (25) All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. (26) So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing. (27) I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified.

As we come to the last two days of this fast I want you to focus on how this fast has affected you spiritually. Has it motivated you to live different and to think different. To really believe that all things are possible through Christ. As you live your life in such a way that…]]> Epic, Fasting, Prayer 2008-01-25T15:07:00-05:00 http://www.comealivechurch.com/blog/comments/fasting_day_19/ http://www.comealivechurch.com/blog/comments/fasting_day_19/#When:14:40:00Z I like this verse because it talks about eating with Jesus. At this point it has been a long time since I and many of you have eaten. I can’t wait to just sit down with my family and friends and eat a real meal. On a normal day, we go out and eat a meal with family or friends to…]]> 2008-01-24T14:40:00-05:00 http://www.comealivechurch.com/blog/comments/fasting_day_18/ http://www.comealivechurch.com/blog/comments/fasting_day_18/#When:04:11:00Z

To be humble means to destroy power and independence and to be submissive. When we humble ourselves we are saying to God, you…]]> 2008-01-21T15:18:00-05:00 http://www.comealivechurch.com/blog/comments/fasting_day_15/ http://www.comealivechurch.com/blog/comments/fasting_day_15/#When:12:22:00Z

This is a powerful verse which was originally given to Israel, but applies to us as well if we desire to see spiritual revival and God’s blessing on our life. This verse lists four conditions for revival and restoration:
