Fast Day 11
Fast Day 11 - January 21
“Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.” - Luke 6:38 (ESV)
The Lord has taken me to school through this passage many times. He has broken my orphan mentality and poverty mindset by asking me, at certain moments, to give far beyond what I felt capable of. Scripture says, “Freely you have received, freely give,” but what about when God asks you to give before you feel you’ve received? Notice that this verse starts with giving.
When we are in Christ, united with Him, co-heirs with Him, we already have everything we need to give by faith. This includes not only resources, but time, compassion, courage, and spiritual authority.
Just today, I received a request to meet with a couple struggling to conceive. My first reaction was, “God, I’m already overwhelmed. This is supposed to be my recovery day… and what can I offer that the doctors haven’t already offered?”
But the truth is: I have Jesus. I am in union with God. I am seated with Christ in the heavenly places, and He has all authority.
I have seen the infertile conceive and bodies healed by His power. It didn’t take long for my heart to turn, to repent and declare that greater is He who is in me than he who is in the world. Of course, I will meet with them. I will give what I have: a good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over. I will bring them to Jesus, the healer.
Prayer:
Father, thank You for giving us everything we need for life and godliness. Thank You for blessing us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places. Thank You for choosing me to be a vessel through whom You flow in power, healing, and grace. Thank You for giving me Your Holy Spirit, Your Word, and Your anointing. Help me steward them faithfully for Your glory, Jesus. Amen.
