40 Days Fasting Prayers 2025 - Day 37 - Voice of the cross of ChristThought for Day 36 and 37Day 36: Trials and Sanctification James 1:2,3Count 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 119:67Before I was afflicted I went astray,but now I keep your word.Day 37: Fellowship and Sanctification Col 3:16Let 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.#mathewsvattiprolu #RenewedLove #marriageskit #christiansermon #relationshipadvice #loveandmarriage #faith #relationship #trust #familylove #spiritualgrowth #loveinchrist #overcomingstruggles #christiancouples #marriageenrichment #faithbasedskit #emotionalconnection #stregtheningmarriage #buildingtrust #andhrapradesh #telugusermon #teluguchristian #chicagoteluguchurch #india #telangana #teluguchristiantestimony #teluguskits #usa #chicago #christianquotes #inspiration #whatscomingupinlovelife #christianquotes #motivation #teluguchristianmessages #love #marriagechallenges #teluguchristiansongs #valentinesday #teluguchristianyouth#songofsolomon #songofsongs

40 Days Fasting Prayers 2025 - Day 35 - Message of the CrossThought for Day 35Day 35: Lord’s Table and Sanctification1 Cor 11:28Let 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 11:31,32But 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.#mathewsvattiprolu #RenewedLove #marriageskit #christiansermon #relationshipadvice #loveandmarriage #faith #relationship #trust #familylove #spiritualgrowth #loveinchrist #overcomingstruggles #christiancouples #marriageenrichment #faithbasedskit #emotionalconnection #stregtheningmarriage #buildingtrust #andhrapradesh #telugusermon #teluguchristian #chicagoteluguchurch #india #telangana #teluguchristiantestimony #teluguskits #usa #chicago #christianquotes #inspiration #whatscomingupinlovelife #christianquotes #motivation #teluguchristianmessages #love #marriagechallenges #teluguchristiansongs #valentinesday #teluguchristianyouth#songofsolomon #songofsongs

40 Days Fasting Prayers 2025 - Day 34 - Doers of the WordThought for Day 34Day 34: Word and Sanctification John 17:17Sanctify 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 119:11I have stored up your word in my heart,that I might not sin against you.#mathewsvattiprolu #RenewedLove #marriageskit #christiansermon #relationshipadvice #loveandmarriage #faith #relationship #trust #familylove #spiritualgrowth #loveinchrist #overcomingstruggles #christiancouples #marriageenrichment #faithbasedskit #emotionalconnection #stregtheningmarriage #buildingtrust #andhrapradesh #telugusermon #teluguchristian #chicagoteluguchurch #india #telangana #teluguchristiantestimony #teluguskits #usa #chicago #christianquotes #inspiration #whatscomingupinlovelife #christianquotes #motivation #teluguchristianmessages #love #marriagechallenges #teluguchristiansongs #valentinesday #teluguchristianyouth#songofsolomon #songofsongs

40 Days Fasting Prayers 2025 - Day 33 - Latter RainThought for Day 31, 32 and 33Day 31: Fasting and SanctificationPs 51:7Purge 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 15:2Every 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 sanctificationPs 95:7For 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 3:16For who were those who heard and yet rebelled? Was it not all those who left Egypt led by Moses?Day 33: Conviction and SanctificationJohn 16:8And 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 85:11Faithfulness springs up from the ground,and righteousness looks down from the sky.#mathewsvattiprolu #RenewedLove #marriageskit #christiansermon #relationshipadvice #loveandmarriage #faith #relationship #trust #familylove #spiritualgrowth #loveinchrist #overcomingstruggles #christiancouples #marriageenrichment #faithbasedskit #emotionalconnection #stregtheningmarriage #buildingtrust #andhrapradesh #telugusermon #teluguchristian #chicagoteluguchurch #india #telangana #teluguchristiantestimony #teluguskits #usa #chicago #christianquotes #inspiration #whatscomingupinlovelife #christianquotes #motivation #teluguchristianmessages #love #marriagechallenges #teluguchristiansongs #valentinesday #teluguchristianyouth#songofsolomon #songofsongs

40 Days Fasting Prayers 2025 - Day 30 - Latter RainThought for Day 30Day 30: Fasting and PowerMark 9:29And 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 3:16And 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.#mathewsvattiprolu #RenewedLove #marriageskit #christiansermon #relationshipadvice #loveandmarriage #faith #relationship #trust #familylove #spiritualgrowth #loveinchrist #overcomingstruggles #christiancouples #marriageenrichment #faithbasedskit #emotionalconnection #stregtheningmarriage #buildingtrust #andhrapradesh #telugusermon #teluguchristian #chicagoteluguchurch #india #telangana #teluguchristiantestimony #teluguskits #usa #chicago #christianquotes #inspiration #whatscomingupinlovelife #christianquotes #motivation #teluguchristianmessages #love #marriagechallenges #teluguchristiansongs #valentinesday #teluguchristianyouth#songofsolomon #songofsongs

40 Days Fasting Prayers 2025 - Day 29 - Usage of RevivalThought for Day 29Day 29: Fasting and FellowshipActs 13:3Then after fasting and praying they laid their hands on them and sent them off.We can notice the practice of fasting in the Antioch church very clearly. When they fasted first, they were told to set Paul and Barnabas apart. Now they fasted again and this time they “laid hands on them” and sent them. This peculiar concept of “laying on of hands” is one of the powerful teachings of the Bible. That’s used to show that….we are with you….you are one with us….what we have is yours….we will support you….and so on. No evangelist can work without the support of local church. Praise the Lord for the supporting fellowship. Gal 2:9and when James and Cephas and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given to me, they gave the right hand of fellowship to Barnabas and me, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.#mathewsvattiprolu #RenewedLove #marriageskit #christiansermon #relationshipadvice #loveandmarriage #faith #relationship #trust #familylove #spiritualgrowth #loveinchrist #overcomingstruggles #christiancouples #marriageenrichment #faithbasedskit #emotionalconnection #stregtheningmarriage #buildingtrust #andhrapradesh #telugusermon #teluguchristian #chicagoteluguchurch #india #telangana #teluguchristiantestimony #teluguskits #usa #chicago #christianquotes #inspiration #whatscomingupinlovelife #christianquotes #motivation #teluguchristianmessages #love #marriagechallenges #teluguchristiansongs #valentinesday #teluguchristianyouth#songofsolomon #songofsongs

40 Days Fasting Prayers 2025 - Day 28 - Signs of RevivalThought for Day 28Day 28: Fasting for purpose fulfillmentActs 13:2While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.”This was the church at Antioch. Brothers and sisters were fasting and praying…..then they heard the voice of the Holy Spirit. There was call for ministry and there was reminder of why they were saved!!!!While fasting:* They heard Holy Spirit’s voice* They were reminded of their call* They were commissioned for workWow….the result of fasting prayer is indeed amazing!!!Acts 13:36For David…served the purpose of God in his own generation1 Sam 7:13So the Philistines were subdued and did not again enter the territory of Israel. And the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.#mathewsvattiprolu #RenewedLove #marriageskit #christiansermon #relationshipadvice #loveandmarriage #faith #relationship #trust #familylove #spiritualgrowth #loveinchrist #overcomingstruggles #christiancouples #marriageenrichment #faithbasedskit #emotionalconnection #stregtheningmarriage #buildingtrust #andhrapradesh #telugusermon #teluguchristian #chicagoteluguchurch #india #telangana #teluguchristiantestimony #teluguskits #usa #chicago #christianquotes #inspiration #whatscomingupinlovelife #christianquotes #motivation #teluguchristianmessages #love #marriagechallenges #teluguchristiansongs #valentinesday #teluguchristianyouth#songofsolomon #songofsongs

40 Days Fasting Prayers 2025 - Day 26 - Wholly Follow the LordThought for Day 26Day 26: Fasting and Reading Word of GodJeremiah 36:6so you are to go, and on a day of fasting in the hearing of all the people in the LORD'S house you shall read the words of the LORD from the scroll that you have written at my dictation. You shall read them also in the hearing of all the men of Judah who come out of their cities.Word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet, after sometime he was in ministry. Lord commanded Jeremiah to write all the things that were spoken by HIM from the beginning. All the sins of his people and all the judgments. He commanded that this written document must be made available to all people and they have to read that while fasting. Lord said…after that perhaps they may acknowledge their mistakes and seek mercy. If they read the Word of God without fasting it would not be of much effect. Have you noticed any difference between reading the Word of God with fasting and without fasting??Job 23:12I have not departed from the commandment of his lips;I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my portion of food.#mathewsvattiprolu #RenewedLove #marriageskit #christiansermon #relationshipadvice #loveandmarriage #faith #relationship #trust #familylove #spiritualgrowth #loveinchrist #overcomingstruggles #christiancouples #marriageenrichment #faithbasedskit #emotionalconnection #stregtheningmarriage #buildingtrust #andhrapradesh #telugusermon #teluguchristian #chicagoteluguchurch #india #telangana #teluguchristiantestimony #teluguskits #usa #chicago #christianquotes #inspiration #whatscomingupinlovelife #christianquotes #motivation #teluguchristianmessages #love #marriagechallenges #teluguchristiansongs #valentinesday #teluguchristianyouth#songofsolomon #songofsongs

40 Days Fasting Prayers 2025 - Day 25 - Khasi Hills RevivalThought for Day 25Day 25: Fasting and Repentance Nehemiah 9:1, 2Now on the twenty-fourth day of this month the people of Israel were assembled with fasting and in sackcloth, and with earth on their heads.And the Israelites separated themselves from all foreigners and stood and confessed their sins and the iniquities of their fathers.After Ezra came…within 5 years…..another group of people returned under the leadership of Nehemiah. Now temple was in place and wall also. People of Israel were worshiping the Lord in liberty again after so long. They started reading the book of the law daily. They realized they were sinning again and confessed their impurities with fasting. Just few years back they re-committed their lives to God and here they are again. This time they made a covenant agreement in writing. How easy it is for followers of God to become unclean!!!!!!How important it is to read the Word of God daily!!!!Ps 119:9How can a young man keep his way pure?By guarding it according to your word.#mathewsvattiprolu #RenewedLove #marriageskit #christiansermon #relationshipadvice #loveandmarriage #faith #relationship #trust #familylove #spiritualgrowth #loveinchrist #overcomingstruggles #christiancouples #marriageenrichment #faithbasedskit #emotionalconnection #stregtheningmarriage #buildingtrust #andhrapradesh #telugusermon #teluguchristian #chicagoteluguchurch #india #telangana #teluguchristiantestimony #teluguskits #usa #chicago #christianquotes #inspiration #whatscomingupinlovelife #christianquotes #motivation #teluguchristianmessages #love #marriagechallenges #teluguchristiansongs #valentinesday #teluguchristianyouth#songofsolomon #songofsongs

40 Days Fasting Prayers 2025 - Day 24 - Hardened HeartsThought for Day 24Day 24: Fasting for purityEzra 9:5And at the evening sacrifice I rose from my fasting, with my garment and my cloak torn, and fell upon my knees and spread out my hands to the LORD my God….People of Israel came in 3 groups from Babylonian captivity. First group under the leadership of Jerubbabel. Second group under the leadership of Ezra and third under the leadership of Nehemiah. The gap between first and second groups was about 75-80 years. By the time Ezra came….he was told that people of God again got into mixed marriages. This was the main reason for the cleansing during Noah’s flood, for judgement on Sodom and Gomorrah, for the backsliding of Israelites, for the backsliding of Solomon, Ahab……Ezra fasted and prayed confessing the faithlessness of his people and for the purity. What a fasting prayer that would have been!!!Ezra 10:1While Ezra prayed and made confession, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, a very great assembly of men, women, and children, gathered to him out of Israel, for the people wept bitterly.#mathewsvattiprolu #RenewedLove #marriageskit #christiansermon #relationshipadvice #loveandmarriage #faith #relationship #trust #familylove #spiritualgrowth #loveinchrist #overcomingstruggles #christiancouples #marriageenrichment #faithbasedskit #emotionalconnection #stregtheningmarriage #buildingtrust #andhrapradesh #telugusermon #teluguchristian #chicagoteluguchurch #india #telangana #teluguchristiantestimony #teluguskits #usa #chicago #christianquotes #inspiration #whatscomingupinlovelife #christianquotes #motivation #teluguchristianmessages #love #marriagechallenges #teluguchristiansongs #valentinesday #teluguchristianyouth#songofsolomon #songofsongs

40 Days Fasting Prayers 2025 - Day 22 - God Sized VisionActs 22: 28, 29Thought for Day 22Day 22: Fasting to fight against brothersJudges 20:26Then all the people of Israel, the whole army, went up and came to Bethel and wept. They sat there before the LORD and fasted that day until evening, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.Some of the bizarre and ungodly events took place during the time of judges in Israel. A Levite was traveling through city of Gibeah (city of Benjamin tribe) with his concubine and servant. But people will not receive him….instead they wanted to molest him. But he sends his concubine to them and men of that city will rape and murder that concubine. He goes to his place and cuts the women’s body into 12 pieces and sends messages to all the tribes of Israel. Their rage results in “inter tribal war” among God’s people. In two days Israelites will lose 40,000 people in war against Gibeah. After that they fast and pray. With Lord’s guidance….they will go to war and will win a decisive war against their brethren. Lord is not partial God….he brings justice even if they are his own people!!!1 Pet 1:15-16but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”#mathewsvattiprolu #RenewedLove #marriageskit #christiansermon #relationshipadvice #loveandmarriage #faith #relationship #trust #familylove #spiritualgrowth #loveinchrist #overcomingstruggles #christiancouples #marriageenrichment #faithbasedskit #emotionalconnection #stregtheningmarriage #buildingtrust #andhrapradesh #telugusermon #teluguchristian #chicagoteluguchurch #india #telangana #teluguchristiantestimony #teluguskits #usa #chicago #christianquotes #inspiration #whatscomingupinlovelife #christianquotes #motivation #teluguchristianmessages #love #marriagechallenges #teluguchristiansongs #valentinesday #teluguchristianyouth#songofsolomon #songofsongs

40 Days Fasting Prayers 2025 - Day 21 - To Whom the Lord Commits Himself Jn.2:23-25Thought for Day 21Day 21: Fast that was NOT accepted by God2 Sam 12:16David therefore sought God on behalf of the child. And David fasted and went in and lay all night on the ground.One of the most negative remarks on David’s life was that of iniquity he did against Uriah (Bathsheba’s Husband). Iniquity is defined as a deliberate mistake with scheming against the Law of the Lord. Consequence for that was curse from God himself. Because of that iniquity…Bathsheba became pregnant. Lord said…that David’s wives will be given to other men and his child with Bathsheba will die. David fasted and prayed…..but Lord didn’t accept his prayer. Sometimes, when we sin knowingly and deliberately…..even though we fast and pray that will not be accepted. We cannot take the grace of God for granted. Deuteronomy 4:24For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.#mathewsvattiprolu #RenewedLove #marriageskit #christiansermon #relationshipadvice #loveandmarriage #faith #relationship #trust #familylove #spiritualgrowth #loveinchrist #overcomingstruggles #christiancouples #marriageenrichment #faithbasedskit #emotionalconnection #stregtheningmarriage #buildingtrust #andhrapradesh #telugusermon #teluguchristian #chicagoteluguchurch #india #telangana #teluguchristiantestimony #teluguskits #usa #chicago #christianquotes #inspiration #whatscomingupinlovelife #christianquotes #motivation #teluguchristianmessages #love #marriagechallenges #teluguchristiansongs #valentinesday #teluguchristianyouth#songofsolomon #songofsongs

40 Days Fasting Prayers 2025 - Day 20 - Radical SanctificationThought for Day 20Day 20: Fasting for sanctification1 Sam 7:6So they gathered at Mizpah and drew water and poured it out before the LORD and fasted on that day and said there, “We have sinned against the LORD.” And Samuel judged the people of Israel at Mizpah.People of Israel, during the time of Judges, did whatever was right in their sight. Lord handed them over to Philistines. They defeated Israel and took Ark of Covenant. Lord punished Philistines and they sent the ark back. People of Israel celebrated and thought theirs would be victory. But for 20 years….they were defeated continuously. Then with Samuel’s instructions….they fasted and prayed and asked the Lord for his forgiveness. Right then Lord gave them decisive victory over Philistines. They erected a stone at Mizpah and called it Ebenezer (hitherto Lord has helped us). Fasting prayer for sanctification brought help from the Lord!!!!Are you seeking help from the Lord???1 Sam 7:13So the Philistines were subdued and did not again enter the territory of Israel. And the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.#mathewsvattiprolu #RenewedLove #marriageskit #christiansermon #relationshipadvice #loveandmarriage #faith #relationship #trust #familylove #spiritualgrowth #loveinchrist #overcomingstruggles #christiancouples #marriageenrichment #faithbasedskit #emotionalconnection #stregtheningmarriage #buildingtrust #andhrapradesh #telugusermon #teluguchristian #chicagoteluguchurch #india #telangana #teluguchristiantestimony #teluguskits #usa #chicago #christianquotes #inspiration #whatscomingupinlovelife #christianquotes #motivation #teluguchristianmessages #love #marriagechallenges #teluguchristiansongs #valentinesday #teluguchristianyouth#songofsolomon #songofsongs

40 Days Fasting Prayers 2025 - Day 19 - Walk CircumspectlyEph.5:15,16Thought for Day 19Day 19: Fasting for interceding Deu 9:18Then I lay prostrate before the LORD as before, forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all the sin that you had committed, in doing what was evil in the sight of the LORD to provoke him to anger.Moses first fasted 40 days for receiving law and instructions. When he came down from mountain, he saw people of God indulging in Idolatry. They made golden calf and were worshipping with naked dances. After an episode of anger and breaking of original tablets with law….he fasted again for 40days and 40 nights. This time he fasted for interceding for his people. Did you notice….the people involved in idolatry of any kind don’t usually know that they are doing that. And they usually turn against you. You have to pray for the people that are hating you and doing things that are contrary to your liking. Do you have any such person in your life?Intercession is godly!!!Deu 9:19For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure that the LORD bore against you, so that he was ready to destroy you. But the LORD listened to me that time also.#mathewsvattiprolu #RenewedLove #marriageskit #christiansermon #relationshipadvice #loveandmarriage #faith #relationship #trust #familylove #spiritualgrowth #loveinchrist #overcomingstruggles #christiancouples #marriageenrichment #faithbasedskit #emotionalconnection #stregtheningmarriage #buildingtrust #andhrapradesh #telugusermon #teluguchristian #chicagoteluguchurch #india #telangana #teluguchristiantestimony #teluguskits #usa #chicago #christianquotes #inspiration #whatscomingupinlovelife #christianquotes #motivation #teluguchristianmessages #love #marriagechallenges #teluguchristiansongs #valentinesday #teluguchristianyouth#songofsolomon #songofsongs

40 Days Fasting Prayers 2025 - Day 18 - Number Our DaysThought for Day 18Day 18: First ever FastingEx 24:18Moses entered the cloud and went up on the mountain. And Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.Israelites went into Egypt as one family (70 people) and now they came out as a nation (3 million people). Lord used Moses to lead them out. Thus far they lived as slaves. Going forward they have to live in liberty as God’s people. Lord asked Moses to come up the mountain and he taught him how to live. That started with instruction in fasting (lesson by experience) and sanctification. He was instructed about moral character. And he was instructed about family life, life in society. And he was instructed about worship. While fasting he received all these. Even for us….we can get Lord’s direction in fasting and prayer. Deu 9:10And the LORD gave me the two tablets of stone written with the finger of God, and on them were all the words that the LORD had spoken with you on the mountain out of the midst of the fire on the day of the assembly.#mathewsvattiprolu #RenewedLove #marriageskit #christiansermon #relationshipadvice #loveandmarriage #faith #relationship #trust #familylove #spiritualgrowth #loveinchrist #overcomingstruggles #christiancouples #marriageenrichment #faithbasedskit #emotionalconnection #stregtheningmarriage #buildingtrust #andhrapradesh #telugusermon #teluguchristian #chicagoteluguchurch #india #telangana #teluguchristiantestimony #teluguskits #usa #chicago #christianquotes #inspiration #whatscomingupinlovelife #christianquotes #motivation #teluguchristianmessages #love #marriagechallenges #teluguchristiansongs #valentinesday #teluguchristianyouth#songofsolomon #songofsongs

40 Days Fasting Prayers 2025 - Day 17 - Faint NotThought for Day 17Day 17: National Fasting!!2 Chro 20:3Then Jehoshaphat was afraid and set his face to seek the LORD, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.Judah was being attacked by 3 nations. The 3 nation alliance tried to attack before. But Lord prevented them. This time He allowed. Judah was outnumbered and powerless. Fear came over them. King Jehoshaphat called for a nationwide fast and all the people (including children) fasted and sought Lord’s help. After fasting prayer they got assurance that Lord will help them and actually “The battle belongs to the Lord”. When we fight our battles on our knees….Lord will fight our battles on his feet!!!We just have to gather the spoils while praising. What a way to fight our battles!!!2 Chro 20:22And when they began to sing and praise, the LORD set an ambush against the men of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah, so that they were routed.#mathewsvattiprolu #RenewedLove #marriageskit #christiansermon #relationshipadvice #loveandmarriage #faith #relationship #trust #familylove #spiritualgrowth #loveinchrist #overcomingstruggles #christiancouples #marriageenrichment #faithbasedskit #emotionalconnection #stregtheningmarriage #buildingtrust #andhrapradesh #telugusermon #teluguchristian #chicagoteluguchurch #india #telangana #teluguchristiantestimony #teluguskits #usa #chicago #christianquotes #inspiration #whatscomingupinlovelife #christianquotes #motivation #teluguchristianmessages #love #marriagechallenges #teluguchristiansongs #valentinesday #teluguchristianyouth#songofsolomon #songofsongs

40 Days Fasting Prayers 2025 - Day 16 - Revival through John the BaptistThought for Day 16Day 16: Fasting and RevelationDan 10:2-5In those days I, Daniel, was mourning for three weeks. I ate no delicacies, no meat or wine entered my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, for the full three weeks.On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was standing on the bank of the great river (that is, the Tigris) I lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold, a man clothed in linen, with a belt of fine gold from Uphaz around his waist…..Daniel fasted for three weeks. He and his team were standing by the river….and he received revelation. In this fasting what did he receive?Firstly, he got the revelation of the Lord himself. Can you imagine how it would be to SEE the Lord in all his radiance??!!!!Secondly, he received the revelation about end days. Even though he was a full time government official….Lord Jesus himself called him a “prophet”. Thirdly, he received strength…..physically and spiritually. What a fasting that would have been!!!!!Dan 10:12Then he said to me, “Fear not, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand and humbled yourself before your God, your words have been heard, and I have come because of your words.#mathewsvattiprolu #RenewedLove #marriageskit #christiansermon #relationshipadvice #loveandmarriage #faith #relationship #trust #familylove #spiritualgrowth #loveinchrist #overcomingstruggles #christiancouples #marriageenrichment #faithbasedskit #emotionalconnection #stregtheningmarriage #buildingtrust #andhrapradesh #telugusermon #teluguchristian #chicagoteluguchurch #india #telangana #teluguchristiantestimony #teluguskits #usa #chicago #christianquotes #inspiration #whatscomingupinlovelife #christianquotes #motivation #teluguchristianmessages #love #marriagechallenges #teluguchristiansongs #valentinesday #teluguchristianyouth#songofsolomon #songofsongs

40 Days Fasting Prayers 2025 - Day 15 - Rejected ConfidencesThought for Day 15Day 15: Fasting for Lord’s MerciesDan 9:3Then I turned my face to the Lord God, seeking him by prayer and pleas for mercy with fasting and sackcloth and ashes.Do you know of anyone whose lifestyle is defined by fasting prayers??Daniel, the dearly beloved, was one such person. We were told in scriptures that he fasted and prayed multiple times. In this context, he came to know from scriptures that the 70 years time of captivity is getting to be over (this was the prophecy by Jeremiah before captivity). Daniel fasted and prayed….again confessing for the disobedience of his family and nation….seeking mercies of the Lord towards his temple. One astonishing thing was the way Lord sent answer to his fasting prayer. Angel Gabriel was sent SPEEDILY…..wow!!!!Dan 9:20,21While I was speaking and praying, confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my plea before the LORD my God for the holy hill of my God, while I was speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the first, came to me in swift flight at the time of the evening sacrifice.#mathewsvattiprolu #RenewedLove #marriageskit #christiansermon #relationshipadvice #loveandmarriage #faith #relationship #trust #familylove #spiritualgrowth #loveinchrist #overcomingstruggles #christiancouples #marriageenrichment #faithbasedskit #emotionalconnection #stregtheningmarriage #buildingtrust #andhrapradesh #telugusermon #teluguchristian #chicagoteluguchurch #india #telangana #teluguchristiantestimony #teluguskits #usa #chicago #christianquotes #inspiration #whatscomingupinlovelife #christianquotes #motivation #teluguchristianmessages #love #marriagechallenges #teluguchristiansongs #valentinesday #teluguchristianyouth#songofsolomon #songofsongs

40 Days Fasting Prayers 2025 - Day 14 - Sialkot RevivalThoughts for Day 14Day 14: Fasting for VisionNehemiah 1:11“O Lord, let your ear be attentive to the prayer of your servant, and to the prayer of your servants who delight to fear your name, and give success to your servant today, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man.”The longest period of fasting mentioned in the Bible is of Nehemiah’s. What did he get after so many days of fasting??Firstly, he got vision. A vision is a picture of “what can be” by looking at “what it is currently”. Jerusalem, currently was in ruins. What it can be….a secure city with walls….a city with worship in full flow…..that’s the vision he got. What is your vision for your church, for your family, for your finances, for your job, for your children’s future…..??Second, he got clarity as to what is needed to realize the vision. He knows exactly what is needed.Fasting prayer of Nehemiah resulted in clear vision and a clear plan to fulfill that vision. Neh 2:7,8And I said to the king, “If it pleases the king, let letters be given me to the governors of the province Beyond the River, that they may let me pass through until I come to Judah, and a letter to Asaph, the keeper of the king's forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the fortress of the temple, and for the wall of the city, and for the house that I shall occupy.” And the king granted me what I asked, for the good hand of my God was upon me.#mathewsvattiprolu #RenewedLove #marriageskit #christiansermon #relationshipadvice #loveandmarriage #faith #relationship #trust #familylove #spiritualgrowth #loveinchrist #overcomingstruggles #christiancouples #marriageenrichment #faithbasedskit #emotionalconnection #stregtheningmarriage #buildingtrust #andhrapradesh #telugusermon #teluguchristian #chicagoteluguchurch #india #telangana #teluguchristiantestimony #teluguskits #usa #chicago #christianquotes #inspiration #whatscomingupinlovelife #christianquotes #motivation #teluguchristianmessages #love #marriagechallenges #teluguchristiansongs #valentinesday #teluguchristianyouth#songofsolomon #songofsongs

40 Days Fasting Prayers 2025 - Day 13 - Reasons for Spiritual DeclineThoughts for Day 13Fasting for Lord’s HouseNehemiah 1:4“As soon as I heard these words I sat down and wept and mourned for days, and I continued fasting and praying before the God of heaven.”Nehemiah was a cup bearer to Persian emperor. Can the most powerful world leader have a slave of enemy nation as his complete confidant that he trusted his life with??!!! That was the character of Nehemiah….wow!!!One day his brother, Hanani, came from Judah. Nehemiah asked about the conditions of the city of the Lord. It was not good news. That triggered burden in Nehemiah to fast. His burden sustained and he fasted for almost 4 months!!!Did you notice the zeal he has for Lord’s house and city???When was the last time your fasting was triggered by the zeal for your church?Ps 69:9; John 2:17For zeal for your house has consumed me…..#mathewsvattiprolu #RenewedLove #marriageskit #christiansermon #relationshipadvice #loveandmarriage #faith #relationship #trust #familylove #spiritualgrowth #loveinchrist #overcomingstruggles #christiancouples #marriageenrichment #faithbasedskit #emotionalconnection #stregtheningmarriage #buildingtrust #andhrapradesh #telugusermon #teluguchristian #chicagoteluguchurch #india #telangana #teluguchristiantestimony #teluguskits #usa #chicago #christianquotes #inspiration #whatscomingupinlovelife #christianquotes #motivation #teluguchristianmessages #love #marriagechallenges #teluguchristiansongs #valentinesday #teluguchristianyouth#songofsolomon #songofsongs

40 Days Fasting Prayers 2025 - Day 12 - Fulton Street RevivalThoughts for Day 12.Day 12: Fasting for RestorationJoel 2:12,13“Yet even now,” declares the LORD,“return to me with all your heart,with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning;and rend your hearts and not your garments.”Return to the LORD your God,for he is gracious and merciful,slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love;and he relents over disaster.It was the Lord who commanded the Fasting Prayer. Now it is the Lord showing mercy and grace. He is promising restoration of all the losses. Can you think of any loss you incurred?Material, Relational, Health, Emotional……It could be because of enemy or because of worldly people or even because of your own decisions.When you fast and pray….Lord will restore everything….peace, time, material…..everything. The initial locust infestation…..was it with anger or was it with love??? Wasn’t it with Love!!!!Joel 2:25 - I will restore to you the yearsthat the swarming locust has eaten,the hopper, the destroyer, and the cutter,my great army, which I sent among you.#mathewsvattiprolu #RenewedLove #marriageskit #christiansermon #relationshipadvice #loveandmarriage #faith #relationship #trust #familylove #spiritualgrowth #loveinchrist #overcomingstruggles #christiancouples #marriageenrichment #faithbasedskit #emotionalconnection #stregtheningmarriage #buildingtrust #andhrapradesh #telugusermon #teluguchristian #chicagoteluguchurch #india #telangana #teluguchristiantestimony #teluguskits #usa #chicago #christianquotes #inspiration #whatscomingupinlovelife #christianquotes #motivation #teluguchristianmessages #love #marriagechallenges #teluguchristiansongs #valentinesday #teluguchristianyouth#songofsolomon #songofsongs

40 Days Fasting Prayers 2025 - Day 11 - 2nd Great AwakeningThought for Day 11Day 11: Fast that was commanded by the LordJoel 1:14Consecrate a fast;call a solemn assembly.Gather the eldersand all the inhabitants of the landto the house of the LORD your God,and cry out to the LORD.Usually fasting is done as voluntary act by believers. Have you seen a fast that was commanded by the Lord?During the time of Joel the prophet, there was heavy damage done to the land of Israel. There was locust infestation that destroyed pretty much everything. Lord admonished them by saying….awake, lament, be ashamed……He forewarned all those as initial signs….but greater trouble comes in the “Day of the Lord”Then he commanded a fast to be done so that they can escape the wrath. Did you notice the “grace” of the Lord?How gracious is our Lord that he is asking us to fast so that he can save us!!!Phil 2:13for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.#mathewsvattiprolu #RenewedLove #marriageskit #christiansermon #relationshipadvice #loveandmarriage #faith #relationship #trust #familylove #spiritualgrowth #loveinchrist #overcomingstruggles #christiancouples #marriageenrichment #faithbasedskit #emotionalconnection #stregtheningmarriage #buildingtrust #andhrapradesh #telugusermon #teluguchristian #chicagoteluguchurch #india #telangana #teluguchristiantestimony #teluguskits #usa #chicago #christianquotes #inspiration #whatscomingupinlovelife #christianquotes #motivation #teluguchristianmessages #love #marriagechallenges #teluguchristiansongs #valentinesday #teluguchristianyouth#songofsolomon #songofsongs

40 Days Fasting Prayers 2025 - Day 10 - Leanness in the Soul.Thought for Day 10.Day 10: Second Most Beautiful SceneJonah 3:7,8And he issued a proclamation and published through Nineveh, “By the decree of the king and his nobles: Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything. Let them not feed or drink water, but let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and let them call out mightily to God. Let everyone turn from his evil way and from the violence that is in his hands.Have you ever heard of animals fasting??After Jonah proclaimed gospel in Nineveh, King of that country got convicted. He decreed a very severe fast. Can you picture the scene in your mind? All families including women, children, elders and even pets and animals were fasting. In my opinion the best scene in the Bible is of the glory of God. Second best scene is this one. Similar thing happened during Jehoshaphat’s time. What a scene to behold…..all families praying in the presence of God while fasting!!!No wonder….what followed was greatest revival recorded in the Bible and history!!!Nineveh was revived and saved by God!!!Jonah 3:10When God saw what they did, how they turned from their evil way, God relented of the disaster that he had said he would do to them, and he did not do it.#mathewsvattiprolu #RenewedLove #marriageskit #christiansermon #relationshipadvice #loveandmarriage #faith #relationship #trust #familylove #spiritualgrowth #loveinchrist #overcomingstruggles #christiancouples #marriageenrichment #faithbasedskit #emotionalconnection #stregtheningmarriage #buildingtrust #andhrapradesh #telugusermon #teluguchristian #chicagoteluguchurch #india #telangana #teluguchristiantestimony #teluguskits #usa #chicago #christianquotes #inspiration #whatscomingupinlovelife #christianquotes #motivation #teluguchristianmessages #love #marriagechallenges #teluguchristiansongs #valentinesday #teluguchristianyouth#songofsolomon #songofsongs

40 Days Fasting Prayers 2025 - Day 8 - Moravian RevivalMoravian RevivalThought for Day 8Day 8: Fasting when ashamedEzra 8:22,23For I was ashamed to ask the king for a band of soldiers and horsemen to protect us against the enemy on our way, since we had told the king, “The hand of our God is for good on all who seek him, and the power of his wrath is against all who forsake him.” So we fasted and implored our God for this, and he listened to our entreaty.We will look into one more aspect of Ezra’s fasting prayer. He was ashamed!!! Imagine a life threatening situation and you are very much afraid to take next step. What would you do? We will look around and ask if we can get any help. But Ezra was ashamed to ask help from men. He had so much confidence in the Lord!!! Fasting prayer is to actually realizing (experiencing) that confidence into reality. Ps 118:8 - It is better to take refuge in the LORDthan to trust in man.#mathewsvattiprolu #RenewedLove #marriageskit #christiansermon #relationshipadvice #loveandmarriage #faith #relationship #trust #familylove #spiritualgrowth #loveinchrist #overcomingstruggles #christiancouples #marriageenrichment #faithbasedskit #emotionalconnection #stregtheningmarriage #buildingtrust #andhrapradesh #telugusermon #teluguchristian #chicagoteluguchurch #india #telangana #teluguchristiantestimony #teluguskits #usa #chicago #christianquotes #inspiration #whatscomingupinlovelife #christianquotes #motivation #teluguchristianmessages #love #marriagechallenges #teluguchristiansongs #valentinesday #teluguchristianyouth#songofsolomon #songofsongs

40 Days Fasting Prayers 2025 - Day7 - Hezekia’s Revival⁠40 Days Fasting Prayers 2025 - Day7 - Hezekia’s RevivalThoughts for Day 7Day 7: Fasting for protectionEzra 8:22,23For I was ashamed to ask the king for a band of soldiers and horsemen to protect us against the enemy on our way, since we had told the king, “The hand of our God is for good on all who seek him, and the power of his wrath is against all who forsake him.” So we fasted and implored our God for this, and he listened to our entreaty.Ezra was leading a group of Lord’s children back to promised land. They were not trained warriors. No artillery was with them. Most of them were old people, women and children. In addition to that they are carrying material for Lord’s temple. They had 7,500lbs of Gold and 25 tons of silver with them. You can imagine….the danger, their fear and King’s caution. But he told king that Lord can take care of them when he was offered security help. By fasting they intreated the Lord and Lord helped them in all the way. What a confidence and what a way to seek Lord’s help!!!Do you think you need Lord’s protection for you and your family?Start with Fasting Prayer. Ezra 8:31,32….. The hand of our God was on us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy and from ambushes by the way. We came to Jerusalem…….#mathewsvattiprolu #RenewedLove #marriageskit #christiansermon #relationshipadvice #loveandmarriage #faith #relationship #trust #familylove #spiritualgrowth #loveinchrist #overcomingstruggles #christiancouples #marriageenrichment #faithbasedskit #emotionalconnection #stregtheningmarriage #buildingtrust #andhrapradesh #telugusermon #teluguchristian #chicagoteluguchurch #india #telangana #teluguchristiantestimony #teluguskits #usa #chicago #christianquotes #inspiration #whatscomingupinlovelife #christianquotes #motivation #teluguchristianmessages #love #marriagechallenges #teluguchristiansongs #valentinesday #teluguchristianyouth#songofsolomon #songofsongs

40 Days Fasting Prayers 2025 - Day 6 - Protestant ReformationThought for the DayDay 6: Fasting Prayer as right response Acts 27:21 - But after long abstinence (no food) Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.Paul was being taken as prisoner to Rome. They were about to start on a voyage. Paul said that it would be safe for them to stay. But they wouldn’t listen and started voyage. They got struck in severe storm. Sometimes, our opinions, no matter how sincere they were, will not be considered. People just ignore our ideas and opinions. Have you come across such situations? If you are a parent, spouse or even a pastor, for sure, you will have this experience. Right kind of response is FASTING PRAYER instead of getting discouraged or whining about it. Paul fasted and prayed…..after few days…..even the captain of the ship listened what Paul said. Acts 27:23-25For there stood by me this night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve, saying, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must be brought before Caesar; and indeed God has granted you all those who sail with you.’ Therefore take heart, men, for I believe God that it will be just as it was told me.#mathewsvattiprolu #RenewedLove #marriageskit #christiansermon #relationshipadvice #loveandmarriage #faith #relationship #trust #familylove #spiritualgrowth #loveinchrist #overcomingstruggles #christiancouples #marriageenrichment #faithbasedskit #emotionalconnection #stregtheningmarriage #buildingtrust #andhrapradesh #telugusermon #teluguchristian #chicagoteluguchurch #india #telangana #teluguchristiantestimony #teluguskits #usa #chicago #christianquotes #inspiration #whatscomingupinlovelife #christianquotes #motivation #teluguchristianmessages #love #marriagechallenges #teluguchristiansongs #valentinesday #teluguchristianyouth#songofsolomon #songofsongs

40 Days Fasting Prayers 2025 - Day 5 : Lollards Reformation "Habakkuk 3:2"Thought for Day 5Day 5: Fasting as weaponPs 35:13 - …. I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.King David was better known as Warrior, Strategist, Hymn Writer…..all his life was spent around those. But in this Psalm, we see him as a humble believer who is fasting and praying against his powerful enemy. The enemy was using craftiness as his weapon. David is using fasting prayer as his counter weapon. If the weapons are physical….David would have faced them with valor. But these were deceits and schemes. How many times we will face these kind of weapons. Many times people use deceit or traps for their gains at our expense. Best way to counter them is with FASTING PRAYER Ps 35:8 - Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.#mathewsvattiprolu #RenewedLove #marriageskit #christiansermon #relationshipadvice #loveandmarriage #faith #relationship #trust #familylove #spiritualgrowth #loveinchrist #overcomingstruggles #christiancouples #marriageenrichment #faithbasedskit #emotionalconnection #stregtheningmarriage #buildingtrust #andhrapradesh #telugusermon #teluguchristian #chicagoteluguchurch #india #telangana #teluguchristiantestimony #teluguskits #usa #chicago #christianquotes #inspiration #whatscomingupinlovelife #christianquotes #motivation #teluguchristianmessages #love #marriagechallenges #teluguchristiansongs #valentinesday #teluguchristianyouth#songofsolomon #songofsongs

40 Days Fasting Prayers 2025 - Day 4Day 4: New Testament Fasting Matt 9:14,15 - Then the disciples of John came to him, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?” And Jesus said to them, “Can the wedding guests mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast.Is there a difference between fasting according to Old Testament to that of New Testament?Absolutely. Old Testament fasting is works based, legalistic fasting. People used to fast for the Lord to come and do things for them. But for us people living in New Testament…Lord has already come….he has already done great things…..he defeated satan already. Now we have Holy Spirit God living in us continually. We tasted his great and mighty works too (if we are born again). New Testament fasting is to have MORE of what is in our lives already. Lord spoke of new wine (Joy) and new clothes (works) in this context of fasting. We can’t patch New with Old. New Testament fasting is from the position of victory to have more. 🙌🙏Phil 2:13 - it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.#mathewsvattiprolu #RenewedLove #marriageskit #christiansermon #relationshipadvice #loveandmarriage #faith #relationship #trust #familylove #spiritualgrowth #loveinchrist #overcomingstruggles #christiancouples #marriageenrichment #faithbasedskit #emotionalconnection #stregtheningmarriage #buildingtrust #andhrapradesh #telugusermon #teluguchristian #chicagoteluguchurch #india #telangana #teluguchristiantestimony #teluguskits #usa #chicago #christianquotes #inspiration #whatscomingupinlovelife #christianquotes #motivation #teluguchristianmessages #love #marriagechallenges #teluguchristiansongs #valentinesday #teluguchristianyouth#songofsolomon #songofsongs

40 Days Fasting Prayers 2025 - Day 3Day 3: Practice of Fasting Is 58:5 - Is such the fast that I choose,a day for a person to humble himself?Is it to bow down his head like a reed,and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him?Will you call this a fast,and a day acceptable to the LORD?Israelites had one strange complaint against God. They fasted and prayed and nothing happened. Their prayers were not answered. How many of us can identify with such scenario?This leads to a question of what kind of fasting is acceptable to the Lord. In the following verses, Lord gave a guideline of what can be an acceptable fasting. For a fasting to be acceptable….there needs to be 1. Humbling of self2. Penitence 3. Letting free4. AlmsgivingHow are we practicing our fasting?Hosea 6:6For I desire mercy and not sacrifice,
And the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.#mathewsvattiprolu #RenewedLove #marriageskit #christiansermon #relationshipadvice #loveandmarriage #faith #relationship #trust #familylove #spiritualgrowth #loveinchrist #overcomingstruggles #christiancouples #marriageenrichment #faithbasedskit #emotionalconnection #stregtheningmarriage #buildingtrust #andhrapradesh #telugusermon #teluguchristian #chicagoteluguchurch #india #telangana #teluguchristiantestimony #teluguskits #usa #chicago #christianquotes #inspiration #whatscomingupinlovelife #christianquotes #motivation #teluguchristianmessages #love #marriagechallenges #teluguchristiansongs #valentinesday #teluguchristianyouth#songofsolomon #songofsongs

40 Days Fasting Prayers 2025 - Day 2⁠Days to receive vision (Moses’)Day 2: Motive behind fastingZech 7:5 - Say to all the people of the land, and to the priests: ‘When you fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh months during those seventy years, did you really fast for Me—for Me?When people of Judah were as slaves in Babylon for seventy years they fasted two months in every year. Now they came back to their land and started about their own work. They had this doubt as whether to fast or not. For that question Lord replied with this question. When they lived in Judah before they didn’t fast because life was good. When as slaves they fasted because they were in troubles. Don’t we all do the same…..we need God more when things are not going our way. People fast for many reasons. If we ponder on this for a bit…we can easily know that some fast for health reasons, some for beauty reasons, some just to be seen by others and then some as just a ritual. Real fasting is actually a ministry that we do for Lord. What or who are you fasting for?“….nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.” - Matt 26:39#mathewsvattiprolu #RenewedLove #marriageskit #christiansermon #relationshipadvice #loveandmarriage #faith #relationship #trust #familylove #spiritualgrowth #loveinchrist #overcomingstruggles #christiancouples #marriageenrichment #faithbasedskit #emotionalconnection #stregtheningmarriage #buildingtrust #andhrapradesh #telugusermon #teluguchristian #chicagoteluguchurch #india #telangana #teluguchristiantestimony #teluguskits #usa #chicago #christianquotes #inspiration #whatscomingupinlovelife #christianquotes #motivation #teluguchristianmessages #love #marriagechallenges #teluguchristiansongs #valentinesday #teluguchristianyouth#songofsolomon #songofsongs

40 Days Fasting Prayers 2025 Days of Cleansing (Noah’s flood)Purpose of FastingPs 69:10 - When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.The context of Psalm 69 is prophecy regarding sufferings of Christ. But if we just look at the phrase “chastened my soul with fasting”….we understand that one of the main goals of fasting is chastening (purifying our soul). Soul has the faculty of thoughts, desires, inclinations, decision making, etc…How are our thoughts and desires?If they are inclined more towards worldly things and fleshly things…..we need the chastening. Let’s just check our thoughts and desires we had in the last few days….we will know our inclinations. Also note from the verse that it’s voluntary (“I chastened…”). May the Lord give us the heart that seek the things above 🙌🙏Col 3:1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.#mathewsvattiprolu #RenewedLove #marriageskit #christiansermon #relationshipadvice #loveandmarriage #faith #relationship #trust #familylove #spiritualgrowth #loveinchrist #overcomingstruggles #christiancouples #marriageenrichment #faithbasedskit #emotionalconnection #stregtheningmarriage #buildingtrust #andhrapradesh #telugusermon #teluguchristian #chicagoteluguchurch #india #telangana #teluguchristiantestimony #teluguskits #usa #chicago #christianquotes #inspiration #whatscomingupinlovelife #christianquotes #motivation #teluguchristianmessages #love #marriagechallenges #teluguchristiansongs #valentinesday #teluguchristianyouth#songofsolomon #songofsongs
