TRANSCRIPT

Fasting promotes greater concentration of spiritual perception, insights, decisions, actions and attitudes as well as greater effectiveness in achieving God’s purpose.

Aligning my life to Jesus, His Word, His authority and His Kingdom with single-hearted devotion and Biblical principles

A spiritual person is not just born again, but born again and walking in spiritual alignment.

• World – Alignment can be corrupted by the spirit of this world

• Flesh – Alignment can be ruined by the twisted power of the flesh

• Devil - Alignment can be hindered by the work of the Devil

To align to Christ is to move from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of God, to move from being “out of Christ” to being “in Christ.”

• Psalm 56:8

• Luke 15:18-21

• Jeremiah 30:17

• Luke 15:24

• Matthew 5:8• Hebrews 12:14• 1 Peter 1:15-16• 2 Timothy 2:22

The pure in heart are those whose motives and desires are under the control of Christ

Purity is the state of being unmixed and undefiled, without spot or stain, free from any pollution or contamination. To be pure is to be 100% authentic; to be innocent, clean and holy unto the Lord.

• Filthy Garments

• Filthy Language

• Filthy Conduct

• Filthiness of Flesh

1 Corinthians 7:1 …So then, let us purify ourselves from everything that makes body or soul unclean, and let us be completely holy by living in awe of God. (GNT)

…we should wash ourselves clean from every impurity of the flesh and spirit, making our sanctification complete in the fear of God. (HCSB)

…Let’s make our entire lives fit and holy temples for the worship of God. (Message)

• Ephesians 1:7• 1 John 1:9• Psalm 32:5• Isaiah 1:16• Psalm 51:2, 7• Psalm 25:7

I declare that I am redeemed by the blood of Christ. I am a new creation. I am not the product of my past, but a product of Christ’s work on the cross. I am free from all sin and all bondage. I renounce all former activities of my past. I stand in the grace of God now.

• Psalm 24:10• Daniel 4:34• Psalm 100:3• Matthew 6:13• James 4:7• Hebrews
