40 Day Word Fast Recap (Days 11-15)

Speak life 40 day journey

Good morning,

Sorry for the delay. We are still walking this 40-day journey out.

Here is the 5-day recap.

Join me Live or catch the replay videos at Fit For A Purpose, LLC. on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/fit4purposellc/

Here is a 5-day recap:

  • Day 11: An Encounter with the Holy– Read Isaiah 6:5-7. When we have an encounter with God we should see ourselves for our sinfulness in comparison to His righteousness. We should understand that our words when not led by the Holy Spirit will continue to defile us, but through Christ and only Christ can we be saved in spirit and in word. Let the Lord cleanse the negativity out of your heart.
  • Day 12: Wise or Foolish? – Read Proverbs 14:3. The words of a fool brings harm to others and himself, is full of pride, spoken rashly and causes him punishment. Whereas the words of the wise bring life to others and protects himself, is humble, spoken with care and brings him honor. Wisdom is the key to life and peace. Are your words wise or foolish?
  • Day 13: What Comes First – Read Psalm 5:1-3. What do you do when you begin your day? Get in the habit of being fruitful by staring your day crying out to the Lord in praise and prayer. By directing your first words to Christ, He can guide the rest of your words during the day – IF YOU SEEK HIM.
  • Day 14: Behind Enemy Lines – Read Romans 12:14 . We all have encountered an enemy attacking us with words and deed or perhaps you have been the enemy. Their words pierce like a sword and our natural response is to cut back. Yet, the Word of God tells us to bless those who persecute us. “Can you imagine being so refined through the fire that you respond to persecution with words that bless those persecuting you?” ~Tim Cameron
  • Day 15: Set a Guard– Read Proverbs 21:23. Guarding your mouth means taking time to speak the truth, being free from fights, protecting what goes in and what comes out. The word fast means “to cover the mouth”. Use wisdom and cover your mouth to determine what you should release.

Speak life 40 day journey

Good morning, the journey continues. Here is the 5-day recap.

Join me Live or catch the replay videos at Fit For A Purpose, LLC. on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/fit4purposellc/

This has been a TRUE learning experience.

Here is a 5-day recap:

  • Day 6: Hearing and Speaking God’s Words – Read Isaiah 50:4. When you fill your spirit with the Word of God you will Speak words that come from God. The Lord gives words of encouragement, grace and life to hurting people. These type of words sustains the weary.
  • Day 7: Life or Death You Choose – Read Proverbs 18:21. We have the power to speak death or life. The choice is our. We can’t blame other people for our words. No matter what we speak, we will eat the fruit of our words. Do you want to eat the rotten fruit of death or the blessings that come from the fruit of life?
  • Day 8: Words of Praise – Read Psalm 34:1. Praise the Lord at all times. No matter what you are going through, use words to sing praises to the Lord. Don’t fuel your life with negative words. Give God praise and watch your attitude and language change.
  • Day 9: Don’t be Reckless – Read Proverbs 12:18. Reckless words pierce like swords and can severe relationships. They spread like wildfire and are impossible to contain. Look at what happens in social media today. Even if people forgive, the residue of the damage remains. Pray for God to give you the wisdom over the words you choice.
  • Day 10: The Snare of Gossip – Read Proverbs 16:28. Gossip is destructive. Gossip can spread and do more damage than what was intended. When we gossip we break the confidence of others. Christians tend to use gossip as a subtle way of entrapment, by asking for information to pray for you; however, they end up telling others. Whether it’s intentional or not it’s still GOSSIP and it’s a sin. Don’t spread other people’s business. Ask yourself how will someone be ministered to if I share this information? BE HONEST- CALL GOSSIP what it is and stop it.

This is a awesome fast that is STRETCHING the lives of those who are willing to change.

Here is a 5-day recap:

  • Day 1: The Fast Begins – Read Isaiah 58:6,9. Be mindful of pointing the finger and using malicious talk. Think about the things or people you are so critical of or negative about and focus on playing the blame game or hurting people with your 40 day word fast by Tim Cameronwords.
  • Day 2: Meditate Well – Read Psalm 19:14. Take time to meditate on the Word of God. Before you speak ask God if He is pleased with what is about to leave it. Don’t make excuses for your sin.
  • Day 3: Lord, Guard my Lips!- Read Psalm 141:3. Ask the Lord to set a guard over your mouth. We are incapable of speaking the right thing without the Lord checking what goes in and out. Let the Holy Spirit check your words at the “gate:.
  • Day 4: Which Kingdom Rules?- Read Matthew 12:34. Out of the Abundance of the heart the mouth speaks and it truly speaks horrible things if you don’t submit to the Lord. If you speak negative words, criticism, judgement, gossip, sarcasm, complaining and more than you allow the world to rule. However, if you speak love, peace, compassion, grace and more then you are allowing the Kingdom of God to rule. Your speech will indicate what kingdom rules in your life.
  • Day 5: Use Seasoning Salt – Read Colossians 4:6. Ask God to cover your tongue with grace before you speak. Grace is unmerited favor. It’s giving others what they don’t deserve. So even when someone speaks poorly to you, speak blessings to them. Give them EXTRA grace. Sprinkle your speech with salt.

Thank you for joining me on the 30-day Live Purposefully journey. Can you believe it’s been 30-days. WOW!

Click here to watch the video replays: https://www.facebook.com/fit4purposellc/

Here is the 10-day Recap: 

  • Day 21 – Seek Support: Matthew 6:33, says to seek ye FIRST the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and ALL these things shall be added to you. Seek God first in all you do and seek Him to lead you to godly support. On your journey you need good people to help bear the weight of your calling. Ask God and He will lead you to people who will believe in you and your purpose.
  • Day 22 – Sow into Yourself: To sow means to scatter or plant deep seeks. It’s important for you to invest in yourself. How can you expect others to sow into your purpose if you won’t sow into yourself? Set time and money aside and invest in yourself.
  • Day 23 – Stay Focused: To be focus is the ability to have a clear vision for what you are doing or where you are going. As you walk in your purpose, you have to keep your eyes on the prize. Don’t go off course. Ask God to show you a clear picture and put your spiritual blinders on and stay focused.
  • Day 24 – Surrender the Guilt: Perhaps God has given you instructions relating to your purpose years ago and you have sat by and did nothing. Well yesterday is gone and today awaits. Surrender the guilt of being disobedient and complacent. Don’t beat yourself up. You have another chance to move forward. Don’t allow guilt to keep your purpose hostage.
  • Day 25 –  Energize your Purpose: To energize means to give vitality and enthusiasm. It’s time to infuse your purpose with excitement and energy. Connect your purpose to the power source (GOD) and become the spokesperson for your purpose. Get excited about what God is doing and what others become excited.

  • Day 26 – Evict InefficienciesWhen something is ineffective it’s not achieving the maximum productivity. As it relates to your purpose, get rid of habits, relationships and activities that don’t allow you to maximize your potential towards achieving your purpose.
  • Day 27 – Eliminate Excuses: Simply put, stop making excuses about why you can’t operate in your calling. “I don’t have any time, I don’t have any money, I’m tired, etc.” These are all excuses. Find reasons, COMPELLING reasons to why you MUST carry out your purpose.
  • Day 28 – Exit Strategy: You must carefully devise a plan to get out; 1. of the places that are robbing your of your purpose and depleting you of productivity and 2. of your own way. Pray for God to give your strategy for getting out of your stubborn mindset, complacent attitude, fearful disposition and more. Your purpose will continue to suffer if you refuse to change.
  • Day 29 – Execute Your Purpose: To execute means to carry out and put into effect. It’s time to get to work and walk in your purpose. You’ve conceived and now it’s time to give birth to your purpose.
  • Day 30 – Empty yourself: Daily seek God to fill your cup so when you pour into others you are pouring from the overflow and not your reserves. What goes in will come out. So first make sure you filled with the right stuff. Be sure when living out your purpose you give your all. When the Lord calls you home, allow people to say you died empty. You gave your best and you gave your all. Don’t hoard your purpose. Share it with others.

I pray you found the 30-day journey helpful. Thank you for joining me.

Blessings.
