As we move into the new year 2020, may we take time and refocus on what God’s will is for us individually and collectively as a church body.
Simply put we all need to hear from God and the best way to hear from God is to empty out our junk and allow Him to fill us up with His Spirit.
Jesus gives us an example in
A Need
A man came up to Jesus crying out for mercy.
He had a son who had seizures caused my demonic spirits which he suffered greatly.
The father put it all before Jesus knowing He had the power to heal all things.
Do you have a need today?
Have you cried out for mercy to the Lord? may we never give up on crying out to the Lord for mercy for ourselves and others.
Jesus is the only answer we have.
Have you told (confessed) him everything that has been going on?
Are you to busy to get alone with Jesus and tell Him all about your troubles?
So he brought his son before the disciples of Jesus he had faith that they could heal his son because they had been with Jesus.
Do people come to you with there spiritual needs because they know you have been with Jesus?
This says a lot about the fruit people see from you.
What kind of fruit are they seeing?
(Spiritual, Physical or Material)
A Failure
The man had already to the disciples with a need for his son to be healed from demonic spirits which caused him to have seizures.
So he brought his son before the disciples of Jesus he had faith that they could heal his son because they had been with Jesus.
Do people come to you with there spiritual needs because they know you have been with Jesus?
This says a lot about the fruit people see from you.

A Rebuke
And Jesus answered, “O faithless and twisted generation, how long am I to be with you?
How long am I to bear with you?
Bring him here to me.”
And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him, and the boy was healed instantly.
Jesus rebukes his disciples by calling them faithless and twisted generation, How long am I to be with you ?
How long am I to bear with you?
The disciples had been with Jesus for sometime now and had seen the work Jesus had done.
He had taught them that they had the same power with in them that was in Him.
Yet they still doubted.
Church, Do you find your self in those same shoes today?
We read, hear and see the wonderful works of the Lord even today but we still are a faithless and twisted generation.
Jesus commanded that the boy be brought to him.
Jesus rebukes the demon and it came out of the boy and he was healed instantly.
When Jesus speaks things happen.
At the very name of Jesus all things come into submission.
Phil
A Question
A Question
The disciples had a question for Jesus, “Why could we not cast it out?”
When Christ sent the disciples out a year before they had power to cast out demons.
Matt
So now a year later they seem to have lost the faith in Christ alone being the power to cast out demons.
Their own flesh pride and desire may have crept into their thinking.
Be mindful they did not loose confidence in their abilities but was shocked when this demon did not come out at their command.
Christian, have you fallen from where you where at when God first called you out?
Do you now find yourself with little faith?
Pride comes before the fall.
An Answer
Jesus answered the disciples, Because of your little faith.
For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.”
God only requires just a little faith and the mountains that you are facing in life will move.
With God nothing is impossible.
“However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”NKJV
This brings us to point of the message today.
There are times when we all have needs and the only way to have those needs meet are by prayer and fasting.
This practice helps you get alone with God and hear his voice that tells you which way to go.
The spiritual principle undergirding fasting is simple: “We can’t be filled unless we are emptied.”
Jesus gave us an example of how this is done.
Are you willing to follow Jesus?
JOhn 4:
As we move forward in 2020 may we seek God’s will for us individually and collectively through prayer and fasting.
Brandon Cook states, “What are some areas for fasting?
We simply need to look to God’s good gifts in the world.
Remember, fasting is detaching, for a season, from the good things to which we’ve become (or might become) overly attached.”
Three categories for good things we are meant to enjoy but which we might misuse.
Food and Drink, Technology & Shopping and Spending.
Technology
Will you join us in fasting this year?
Each of us need to hear from the Lord and DeBerry needs to hear from the Lord.
Shopping and Spending
