Fantastic Adventures In Trusting Him!

Yep, it's an acronym:  Fantastic Adventures In Trusting Him -> faith! 

That's what it's about and that's the adventure that we (members and attendees of BIEC and anybody else who wants God to make a difference in their life) are embarking on.  For 40 days we are going to pray to God for our heart's desire. 

What amazing stories will we have to tell at the end of these 40 days?

Before I go any further, I have to say thank you to the originator of the "40 days of faith" idea.  I stumbled across a blog titled (yes, that's correct) "40 Days of Faith" and thought it would be wonderful to do the same thing in conjunction with BIEC's prayer week.


So, if you think this is a good idea, surf over to 40 Days of Faith and say thank you to Trish Ryan.

What does "BIEC 40 days of faith" entail?

Basically you have to commit to praying for something for a period of 40 days and to blog about it - right here on this blog, in the comments section - for those 40 days.  You can blog about what happened (or happens), what God spoke to you, how your prayers were answered, how your desire(s) changed, what you learned, etc., etc.

What should you pray for?  First read what Ted has to say about this very subject on the BIEC site. That should answer the question, but in case you're still wondering, you have to pray for something that you want God to do for you.  And may I suggest that you start off (before the 40 days of faith kicks off) by asking (i.e. praying to ...) God to help you identify the thing that you should be praying for?

If you're really stuck here, speak to someone from the leadership and pray together with them to help you identify your desire.

The point is to pray (honestly and with faith) and to record what happens - physically and spiritually.

The fact is that we (born-again Christians) all have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and because of this we are brothers and sisters, linked for eternity.  We all are imperfect and we all have our problems.  Forty days of faith is one way in which we can help, support and inspire one another.  It is also a way in which we can share our hurts and weaknesses.

This is an opportunity to take your relationship with Jesus to a new level, to get to know God more intimately (John 17:3), to move from the natural to the supernatural, from the mundane to the extraordinary.

This is a challenge to everyone who knows that there is more to life than we are experiencing now. 

Things are going to happen during these 40 days.  We are going to change.  Our life and circumstances are going to be impacted.  This is not for the faint of heart.

Will you take up the challenge?  If so, signify your commitment by posting a comment that says "YES!"
