40 Days Fasting Prayers 2025 - Day 37 - Voice of the cross of Christ

Thought for Day 36 and 37

Day 36: Trials and Sanctification

James 1:2,3
Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.

Third sanctifying agent is “Trials we face”.
The thing that we hate most….and pray that our Lord may keep us from are the trials we face. These cleanses us more than any other.
Trials will show us our true self…..what our heart is actually processing….and our dependence on God.
Think about Israelites’ journey in wilderness. Why wilderness experiences? God can protect us from outside demonic forces like in Egypt. But he cannot protect us from ourselves. The greatest temptation that they faced is riches and milk and honey in the promised land. Trials will bring detachment to this worldly stuff. No wonder for apostle Peter…trials are very precious.

Ps 119:67
Before I was afflicted I went astray,
but now I keep your word.

Day 37: Fellowship and Sanctification

Col 3:16
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom…..

One more sanctifying agent that the Bible records is “Fellowship”. A believer is never called to be alone. There are 59 “one another” passages in the New Testament showing how fellowship has to be. As much as we need to love and encourage one another…..we need to admonish one another too. Admonishing is actually correcting (sanctifying) one another.
Interestingly, the context of this passage is with fulness of Word of God.
We all will be always ready to admonish…..but not to receive admonishing.
When was the last time you received admonishing from a fellow believer?

Matt 7:5
…first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.

40 Days Fasting Prayers 2025 - Day 35 - Message of the Cross

Thought for Day 35

Day 35: Lord’s Table and Sanctification

1 Cor 11:28
Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

Second sanctifying agent is Lord’s Table.
We are admonished to do certain things when we take part in communion.
Firstly, look behind….remember the sacrifice of the Lord for a sinner like us.
Secondly, look ahead…..remember his promise of coming for his Church.
Thirdly, look within…..examine yourself critically.
In critical judgment there’s no room for rationalization or justification.

1 Cor 11:31,32
But if we judged ourselves truly, we would not be judged. But when we are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined so that we may not be condemned along with the world.

40 Days Fasting Prayers 2025 - Day 34 - Doers of the Word

Thought for Day 34

Day 34: Word and Sanctification

John 17:17
Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.

Now for the sanctifying agents.
First is Word of God. It’s like mirror to show us ourselves as we are. It’s like water to wash us. It’s like fire to purify us. It’s like hammer that should break us.
Word of God that is dwelling in us richly is the actual material used by the Lord for our daily sanctification.
Have you seen in this mirror lately? Looking good or is there a chance for improvement?

Ps 119:11
I have stored up your word in my heart,
that I might not sin against you.

40 Days Fasting Prayers 2025 - Day 33 - Latter Rain

Thought for Day 31, 32 and 33

Day 31: Fasting and Sanctification

Ps 51:7
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;
wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

Whatever the reason that triggers our fasting, it must result in our sanctification. One has to chastise his soul with fasting. Now sanctification requires removal of certain things.
Have you ever thought that purging is painful.
It’s like cutting off our right hand if convicted of sin.
Purging and pruning result in fruitful Christian life.
Sanctification requires conviction and radical willingness.
When was the last time we experienced pain in sanctification?

John 15:2
Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.

Day 32: Hurdle for sanctification

Ps 95:7
For he is our God,
and we are the people of his pasture,
and the sheep of his hand.
Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts, as at Meribah,
as on the day at Massah in the wilderness,

The most important hurdle for sanctification is Hardened Heart. You see that time and again all across the scriptures.
Hardened heart, as defined by the Lord in Mark 8:17, 18….cannot see, hear, understand or remember.
Hardened heart is result of our indulgence in day to day stuff. People at Massah did exactly that. Lord called hardened heart people as rebellious people!!!!
How easily we can rebel against God!!
Lord sanctify me🙏

Heb 3:16
For who were those who heard and yet rebelled? Was it not all those who left Egypt led by Moses?

Day 33: Conviction and Sanctification

John 16:8
And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment:

Another most important thing in the process of sanctification is the conviction from the Holy Spirit. He convicts the non-believers of sins. He convicts the believers of righteousness and all people of judgement. When we don’t harden our hearts we get the conviction from the Lord.
When was the last time we felt that deep conviction of the Lord?

Ps 85:11
Faithfulness springs up from the ground,
and righteousness looks down from the sky.

40 Days Fasting Prayers 2025 - Day 30 - Latter Rain

Thought for Day 30
Day 30: Fasting and Power

Mark 9:29
And he said to them, “This kind cannot be driven out by anything but prayer and fasting.”

Once a father brings his son (who was demon possessed) to the disciples for healing. But they couldn’t drive the demon out. They were given authority to drive demons out. Yet they couldn’t. So he brings his son to the Lord. He heals the son. Lord corrected father about his unbelief. And he corrected disciples about “fasting prayer”.
Even though we all have the gifts of the Holy Spirit….they are not manifested in many.
Belief and Fasting Prayer make them manifested!!!

Acts 3:16
And his name—by faith in his name—has made this man strong whom you see and know, and the faith that is through Jesus has given the man this perfect health in the presence of you all.
