Good News Brief–February 28, 2023

RECAP: TRUE FASTING based on Isaiah 58

My first introduction to Lent was during my time in high school. I grew up in a church tradition that really did not focus on the liturgical Christian year (no Advent, no Lent), but there were many Catholics who did practice Lent and wore the cross of ash on their head on Ash Wednesday. When I asked what it was all about, my fellow classmate complained, saying it was a season they were supposed to be devoted to God, but really they were upset that they have to eat fish every Friday. For him, Lent was not a meaningful practice, nor was the fasting of lasting value; it was rather just something he did.

We see the same reality in Israel reflected in Isaiah 58. The prophet Isaiah, through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, spoke to a nation that knew the practice but was missing the heart. Fasting is a way indeed to draw closer to God, to sacrifice oneself in order to hear God more clearly and draw ever closer to him. But for Israel, and many today, they had lost the point of it all.

How do we know when we are fasting incorrectly?

1) There is spiritual manipulation (58:2-3). When we are fasting not to draw closer to God, but to convince God that he should do what we ask, we are in the wrong frame of mind.

2) Our words will not match our deeds (58:3-4). We can say all the right words, but we truly show God our heart by the action we take once our knees come off the ground and we exit the doors, or when the time of fasting comes to an end. In one breath, they prayed to God, but in the next, they cut people down with their words and were prone to violence. This should not be!

3) It becomes ritual and nothing more (58:5). This is when we fast and pray, going through the motions because it is what we always do and not because we want to push closer to God.

God is not impressed with our hearts removed from our worship. He wants us to be real and genuine, to give our all. He wants us to truly fast! We show this by:

1) Striving to meet the needs of others (58:6-7). This is fulfilling the very mission of Jesus in setting people free. This happens by taking care of both the physical needs and the spiritual needs of others.

2) Righteous house-cleaning (58:9-10). We have to remove all traces of sin from our lives and cast it out, not letting it hang around. We wouldn’t keep cat-peed sheets and papers stick around in the house! Neither should we allow sin either.

3) Whole commitment to God (58:13). We should not give God a part of ourselves, but our whole self. God does not want our leftovers; he wants our best self.

What are the blessings of a heart that is right in fasting? God promised we would find spiritual healing (58:8), the presence of God (58:8-9), our light will shine in the darkness (58:10), guidance and provision of God (58:11-12), and spiritual joy (58:14).

Will we take this season to pursue God with everything we have?

Questions for Reflection

1) Do you find yourself practicing one of the incorrect motivations for fasting (spiritual manipulation, words not matching deed, ritual, nothing more)? Can you let it go to God?

2) In what ways can you help meet the practical needs of someone in our community? What about spiritual needs?

3) In what areas do you need to “clean house”?

4) What is one sacrifice you can make to increase your commitment to God?

Upcoming Service

This Sunday, Pastor Ryan will start the study in the discipline of confession with the sermon titled, “Rend Your Heart”, based on Joel 2:12-17. What is the confession that God is looking for? Come or tune in Sunday to find out!

Prayer & Fasting / Spiritual Discipline Challenge

Part of the reason we struggle with prayer is that we don’t know exactly how to pray. When I was younger, I was blessed to participate in an hour of prayer. Each hour was divided up into twelve five-minute sessions of prayer with a specific focus. Over this month, I will give three sections a week until you have all twelve that you can practice on your own.

  1. Fasting. At its core, fasting is going without food for a time to devote to prayer for God. There are many different types of fasts in the Bible. There is a total forty-day fast (Elijah, Jesus), where one goes without food or drink for a time of devoted prayer. This practice is something you would have to build up to. There are also three-day fasts, juice fasts, only vegetable and water fasts, and so forth. The point of fasting is again to spend that time in prayer to God. Fasting helps us focus on God and drown out all distractions.
  1. Praying together. When two or three are gathered, Christ is in our midst. In this, you can pray together for commonly shared things, such as asking God to move or intervene. But then you also pray for one another, to encourage one another toward love and good deeds.
  1. Silence. In this prayer, you completely quiet yourself before God. You must drown out all forms of distraction in order to hear the voice of God. Go to a place of quiet like nature, away from all the hustle and bustle and noise. Just soak in the presence of God, and allow him to speak.

Good News Brief–February 21, 2023

RECAP: POWERFUL AND EFFECTIVE based on James 5:13-20

In the same survey that was used a few weeks ago, one of the most common reasons why people do not pray, according to the participants, is that they are just not really sure if prayer makes a difference. Have we ever felt and wondered if God does answer prayer? Do we believe that our prayers matter or can change things? Yet, Jesus said in John 14 that we can ask what we want in his name, and it will be done. He also said in Matthew 19 that we can move mountains, for nothing is impossible with God. Can we pray like Jesus or those in the Bible? Does prayer really work?

The book of James closes with the importance of prayer. What makes prayer powerful and effective?

First, we must believe in its power. When we pray, we must believe and not doubt. Many heroes of the faith faced their circumstances and took it to the Lord in prayer. If we do not believe, we will not see, just like Nazareth did not see many miracles from Jesus because of their lack of faith. Do we believe that God still has the power to answer prayer? We should come to Him in every circumstance: when we are in trouble, when we are happy, when we are sick, etc.

Second, we must rally around each other. When we are sick, we can pray to the Lord. But James counseled us to bring to the elders of the church, lay hands on the individual, and anoint with oil for healing. This is why the body of Christ is so important! As we lay down our burdens and concerns to one another, we take off a heavy load and give it to God. When we are weak, our brothers and sisters in Christ can be strong for us. When two or three are gathered, Jesus is in the midst. God works and gives strength to the one who is praying, and we can help lift each other up in our times of greatest need!

Third, we must be willing to take a step of faith. Elijah was just a human being who believed in God. He took a step of faith, prayed for a lack of rain, and there was a drought for three and a half years. Later, he prayed for rain, even when there was not a cloud in the sky, and rain came. Elijah was no superhero, yet he believed in God. When we take a step of faith, we declare to God how much we believe in him and declare what we know he is capable of. Even when we are afraid he will not answer, we will never be put to shame. Does God always answer our prayers in the way we desire? Sometimes, we do not receive the answer we are looking for. But God still meets our prayers and will guide our steps, even in the greatest of struggles!

Last, we must watch out for each other’s welfare. We all have seasons of spiritual struggle. But when we stand by each other both in prayer and in living, we can help each other through these seasons. Satan wants us isolated, so he can destroy us and shut us down. But when we have each other’s back, lifting up one another even in times of failure, we can bring each other to the God who can both forgive and restore. The most powerful prayers are the ones we pray together!

Do we believe in the power of prayer?

Questions for Reflection

1) Do you recall a time you heard a prayer that was powerful? What was unique about that prayer?

2) Are you willing, in seasons of struggle, to share your burdens with your church family? If not, why are you hesitant?

3) On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest, how would you rate your faith in God? Why did you give this rating?

4) Who do you know that could use a shoulder to lean on? Can you commit that person to regular prayer?

Each hour was divided up into twelve five-minute sessions of prayer with a specific focus. Over this month, I will give three sections a week until you have all twelve that you can practice on your own.

  1. Binding. This also comes from Matthew 16, but also from 2 Corinthians 10:3-5. When we have thoughts that are not from God and from the enemy, we can take those thoughts captive and demolish the stronghold. Whatever we bind on earth will be bound in heaven. So in this type of prayer, you declare what darkness you see in the world and ask God to take it down. Likewise, you declare those thoughts that are not of God that are plaguing you and ask God to tie them up and remove them. This type of prayer is bold but important in spiritual warfare!
  1. Loosing. This also comes from Matthew 16, but also from the Lord’s prayer. You are asking for God’s kingdom to come and will to be done. If you do not see something you desire to see in the spiritual, you can pray for God to open a door for it to be loosed on the earth. You are also praying that any door or obstacle is demolished to let it be done. So it might require praying against the specific obstacle! Where this is different than declaration is that while declaration is praying for a specific item within us, loosing is asking in general for God’s kingdom to come and will to be done, addressing the spiritual fabric of our world.
  1. For Church Leadership. This type of prayer is to pray for the leaders of the church, that they would be listening to the voice of the Holy Spirit, making decisions for the welfare of the congregation and reaching out into the community, to help them be wise with the resources given, and to take a step of faith in making Jesus known. It is also praying to protect their hearts and their families from the attack of the enemy. Church leaders are on the front lines of a spiritual battle; they need all the prayer support they can get!

Good News Brief–February 14, 2023

RECAP: HONEST PRAYER based on Luke 18:9-14

It is common for us as human beings to ask if God hears our prayers. How do we know God is listening to our prayers and are moved by them? How do we know everything is worth it? In the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector, Jesus is clear as to whose prayer is heard by God.

Jesus wants us to be like the tax collector, whose prayer was simple, yet filled with complete honesty. What can we learn from him?

1) Recognize our unworthiness. The tax collector knew exactly who he was in comparison to a holy God. He did not take the time to compare himself to others in the temple, although I am certain he would have felt out of place, for tax collectors were well despised by their own people and by the Romans. Rather, the tax collector understood who he was, and who God was, and recognized that he was not worthy. Instead of coming up front and center for all to see, he stood at a distance, signifying the distance he felt from the community and from God himself. But in being present, he was honest with his state, willing to risk exposure because he knew God was the only solution.

2) Broken and contrite. The tax collector was completely broken and contrite. He could not even look up to heaven because of the gravity of his sins, and he beat his breast in disgust of himself. Yet in this brokenness, he still poured out his heart before God. For when we are broken, we set aside all pride. When we are contrite, we give room for the Spirit to work in our lives.

3) Admit our need. The tax collector’s prayer was sweet and simple: “Lord, have mercy on me, for I am a sinner.” He recognized that above everything else, he needed mercy from God. He did not deserve anything except judgment, condemnation, and damnation. Yet, he asked for mercy from God, for he knew he had sinned. And in this declaration of need, he opened the door of his heart for repentance, and for the Spirit to work and restore only that which he could do. When we are willing to admit our needs openly before God, we give God a verbal yes to his work, opening the door of our hearts for God to work!

4) Humility. The tax collector did not view himself more highly than he should but submitted himself under the mercy of God. And when we are humble and honest before the Lord, we will see God lift us up and transform us from the inside out!

Don’t be like the Pharisee! It is so easy to fall into the trap:

1) Of self-righteousness. It is easy to think of ourselves as good and above correction. And in so doing we become the standard of what is right and good instead of God’s holiness.

2) Of inflated ego. The Pharisee thanked God openly in front of everyone that he was so good and perfect. “Lord I thank you I am not like other people,” he prayed. But we are all like other people–we all need a Savior and we all need Jesus!

3) Of comparison. The Pharisee compared himself to the flaws of everyone else around, including the tax collector. When we compare like this, we are blind to our own faults and failures and justify ourselves, because we are “not as bad as” everyone else!

4) Of bragging. The Pharisee stated his pedigree and his case for why God should honor his prayer–he tithed, and he fasted regularly. But God is not impressed with our deeds; he cares about our hearts.

All these characteristics kept the Pharisee blind to his true need and status before God. But the tax collector, despite his sin, was honest about his state before God. Jesus said the tax collector stood justified before God. So let us be honest and open, telling God exactly where we are and allow him to do what he does best!

Questions for Reflection

1) How do you view yourself in comparison to others? To God?

2) Do you struggle with pride? Or are you able to remain humble before God?

3) What area of your life is your greatest struggle? Have you confessed it to God?

4) Which trap of the Pharisee do you find yourself being pulled toward? How can you break it?

Prayer / Spiritual Discipline Challenge

Part of the reason we struggle with prayer is that we don’t know exactly how to pray. When I was younger, I was blessed to participate in an hour of prayer. Each hour was divided up into twelve five-minute sessions of prayer with a specific focus. Over this month, I will give three sections a week until you have all twelve that you can practice on your own.

  1. Petition. In this type of prayer, you offer up to God your specific needs. It is good to focus on all four major areas of your life: spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical. Remember, you are asking God for your daily bread, to meet your needs in those areas.
  1. Intercession. This is where you pray on behalf of the needs of others. You can use the prayer list at church as a guide and pray for each individual’s needs. If you know of a family going through a tough time, you can ask God for intervention. The goal of intercession is to help stand in prayer for someone else, even if they are unable to pray for themselves.
  1. Declaration. Declaration goes hand-in-hand with petition and intercession. When you practice this time of prayer, you are declaring the very Word of God over your own specific need or the needs of another. It is asking to open in the physical what is already true in the spiritual. This comes from Matthew 16:19–“Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” This is asking for God’s will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. It is coupled with faith because it is believing something we cannot yet see.
