Do It For A Day Part 2
Ephesians 5:15-17 (NLT)
15 So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise.
16 Make the most of every opportunity (redeem the time) in these evil days.
17 Don’t act thoughtlessly but understand what the Lord wants you to do.
Congratulations we are 7 days into our 21 Days of Prayer & Fasting. Our goal is to make/break habits that create margin and empower us to live on mission. God wants us to live a fruitful and fulfilled life. Margin allows us to become who we were created to be; mission allows us to do what we were created to do.
Matthew 5:27-30 (NLT)
27 “You have heard the commandment that says, ‘You must not commit adultery.’
28 But I say, anyone who even looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
29 So if your eye–even your good eye–causes you to lust, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.
30 And if your hand–even your stronger hand–causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.
Romans 6:10-14 (NLT)
10 When he (Jesus) died, he died once to break the power of sin. But now that he lives, he lives for the glory of God.
11 So you also should consider yourselves to be dead to the power of sin and alive to God through Christ Jesus.
12 Do not let sin control the way you live; do not give in to sinful desires.
13 Do not let any part of your body become an instrument of evil to serve sin. Instead, give yourselves completely to God, for you were dead, but now you have new life. So, use your whole body as an instrument to do what is right for the glory of God.
14 Sin is no longer your master, for you no longer live under the requirements of the law. Instead, you live under the freedom of God’s grace.
Romans 8:2 (NLT)
2 And because you belong to him (Jesus), the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death.
