Good morning all you 40-day campaigners. That screaming noise you are hearing this morning is your flesh crying “Foul!” Don’t listen. Stay focus on starving the flesh and feeding your spirit; you will be better for it. This morning I read the following quotation:

- “I have never met one person of genuine faith who was not active in some church.” _Charles L. Allen, Healing Words
Forty days of prayer and fasting is being pretty active! And that is a good thing. The Bible states it this way:
- 1 Peter 1:6-9 (New King James Version)
- 6 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, 7 that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, 8 whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, 9 receiving the end of your faith—the salvation of your souls.
So on Day 2 – stay focus, be strong and throw a “Hail Mary” (see weekly devotionals)…Who knows?
With you all the way,
