I’m so blessed to be part of the Awake21 fasting and prayer movement to kick off 2009. Over 300 Churches representing over 300,000 people from multiple stripes and denominations are joining in from multiple states and continents. If you are believing for anything outside of your natural strength, ability, or influence this year, consider joining in at www.awake21.org.
I don’t only say that cause I’m excited to lose some LBs (you have no idea). I say it because today, God spoke to me about what to fast for.
Put the snake on a stick.
The people of Israel rebelled against Moses, complaining about lack and pain after they crossed the Red Sea. So God let snakes come in and bite
Numbers 21:8 The LORD said to Moses, “Make a snake & put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it &live.”
Moses put the dead snake on a stick. This is such a deep principle that goes so many directions….but here’s 1 to think about….. What has bitten you in 2008? Jesus has overcome it by the blood of the Lamb. Put it to death. Put it on the stick…the CROSS! “So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, he lived.” It’s time to live. Put it on the cross and look at what Jesus has done. Join us for this fast!

Ok, Im in total shock, this is amazing. I had a dream several months ago about a snake biting me on my right hand. I didnt die or get sick in this dream but I could never even thru prayer figure out the meaning of the snake and it biting me and me not getting sick. Gods timing is so awsome, now I can see the answer to the dream. Praise GOD and thank you John for being an answer even if you didnt know about the dream. God just spoke thru you!!!!

John, This is cool. I think this is from Mt. Nebo in Jordan — which is where Moses went to the top of the mountain and saw the promise land. Its a pretty nify side and I was really impressed with the snake on the stick.
