"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled." (Matthew5:6) We are currently in a prayer series at Mission Church. It involves corporate times of prayer, fasting and diving deep into the Word of God. My wife (Heather) and I did a 21 day fast leading into Sunday's message on fasting. The Lord is faithful and fulfills all His promises. Matthew 5:6 is now a promise fulfilled in my life. The promises of God are true. He desires to fill us. When you hunger for God, He WILL fill you.

There is power when God's people pray--
"Is any one of your in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sings songs of praise. Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective" (James 5:13-16 NIV)
