A Call To Prayer And Fasting

The events that happened during the Feet-Washing and Communion Service did not just end. The congregation felt a strong conviction and leading from the Lord. His wonderful works are starting to manifest and everyone felt an unexplainable sense of joy. It is as if He is working with haste now to prepare the Bride of Christ for His coming. And on our part, we began preparing, as the Lord lead us, by praying and fasting for 3 days. Bro. Lito quoted Scripture in Joel 2:15-17 on Wednesday Night Service. "Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly. Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts. Let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet. Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, 'Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them.' Wherefore should they say among the people, 'Where is their God?'" And with that, a lot of us prayed and fasted. For 3 days, we endured the pains and hardships of praying and fasting because we are hopeful that by our deeds, the Lord will pour down His Holy Spirit to anoint us, will consecrate us and will deem us worthy to be called the Bride of Christ. We ended the fast by gathering together in church on Saturday afternoon, praying and praising His name. Oh what a day it was. It is always good to be in the presence of the Lord.
