A
call for fasting and prayer for the next generation
AIM’s Executive Director, Seth Barnes, has called for a fast for 40 days up
to your September Departure. The fast will begin August 5 and we will break the
fast together at training camp on September 14. Make sure you are certain
that this is what God wants. If you don’t feel like this is what God
wants you to participate in, maybe He wants you to do a partial fast, like one
meal a day, or a day a week, or fast from a particular food, like chocolate,
coffee, ice cream, something in which you are denying yourself. As you
seek the Lord as to what He wants you to do, let us know. We want you to
be spiritually ready as you come to camp. A fast is not a diet but
a spiritual discipline. Do it to enter into a closer relationship with
the Lord.
If a trumpet does
not sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle?
1 Cor. 14:8
We are asking
those who feel that God is calling this generation to serve Him, to join with
us in a season of prayer and fasting.
“It’s the beginning of the journey for a generation to
become “FULLY ALIVE” in this thing called Christianity… they must
die to their false view of themselves, to their small egos, to who they think
God is, and step into their identity as sons and daughters instead of slaves,
fully alive to the fact that they are miracles and they do get to live the
mystery of life that Paul was talking about!!
We have a huge trumpet to blow, and it’s not about more
entertainment or discipleship as we have done it, but a call to the model Jesus
gave us: the birth, death, resurrection of ourselves and a whole generation!!!!
That’s the purpose – connecting your heart to the Father.
Our expectations are to see a generation become fully alive and take dominion
over the earth, who wants the keys?”
