Due to the ongoing pandemic I’m asking everyone to fast with one meal a day (Please include mostly fruits and vegetables – this will help keep your immune system healthy. No beef, pork or fast foods at all. Drink plenty of water, herbal teas and any other types of health drinks that will help maintain your immune system. This is a guideline for everyone, if you have a condition in your body that require you to eat more, then follow your doctor’s guidelines. If you have to fast differently then identified here then be led by the Holy Spirit and the Word of God.

Also, limited your entertainment to bible, wholesome and educational movies (Remove all cursing movies, horror, thrillers, demonic, sexual in nature, action films) – this is critical for cleaning your 5 spiritual senses)

Pray and read the Word of God during the day as much as possible. Pray with other believers.

Ministry this month will focus on the our spiritual foundation:

• Character of Jesus
• Right Thinking
• Godly Heart
• Our Emotions

Cleaning our 5 senses:

• Spiritual Eyes
• Spiritual Smell
• Spiritual Ears
• Spiritual Mouth
• Spiritual Touch

“Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body. 1 Cor 6:19 – NLT

1Th 5:23  And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
