Matthew 17-19
What God said to me – One of the purposes of spending this time with Me is so I can prepare you for what is to come. You have no idea what the day ahead of you may bring or what circumstances you will encounter, but I do. As you spend this time with Me day in and day out I will teach you and prepare you to handle all that you encounter in life. Jesus told the disciples when He cast the demon out of the boy that it required not just faith, but prayer and fasting. In His time spent alone with Me, I prepared Him for just this occasion. He had already been praying and fasting as I instructed so He was prepared to handle this situation in a way that would glorify Me. There will be times I will call you to fast and pray as preparation for whatever “I AM” calling you to do. This time set aside with Me is not just fellowship but also preparation, so don’t neglect it.
