A Hunger For GOD - Corporate Fast

Corporate Fasting:  The author explains the true essence of a corporate fast, he said, "If your heart is right and you're open to The Lord and you're asking him, Lord, draw me into the spirt of awakening through fasting,' he will show you. He'll show you when and how." (Page 16) So if you are wondering should I fast, or when should I fast, seek the Lord in prayer.  

A Hunger for God by John Piper

This book was selected by the Discipleship Ministry and approved by First Lady Norma McLauchlin in support of the Women Conference and Women Month.

The author topic is on understanding Christian fasting and having a hunger for God.
When you read Matthew 9:14-17 you may have many questions about fasting. I did, but Mr. Piper book enriched my knowledge on Christian fasting. As we explore together, let us pray that we will allow the Holy Spirit to lead us into understanding what God has placed before us.

Let us began to explore the WORD OF GOD and share with one another what God is sharing with us.

Day 2


 We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life. Indeed, in our hearts we felt the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and He will deliver us. On Him we have set our hope that He will continue to deliver us. (2 Corinthians 1:10)
