Want to increase your Faith?
I am inviting you to join me on a Negativity Fast beginning on the first of the month. Just think how our lives could be changed if we thought more like Jesus……it will help us break old habits of criticism and build new one’s of honour and encouragement.
Steve Backlund (a friend and mentor from Global Legacy) says this: ”As a senior leader, I was tempted much to dwell on the negatives (unresolved situations, uncertainties, personal struggles, etc). This negative dwelling was the default on my personal ‘computer.’ One thing that caused breakthrough was to go on a negativity fast.”
40 Day Negativity Fast - Igniting Faith in 40 Days
What a Negativity Fast is Not:
1. It is not denying that problems exist
2. It is not “stuffing things” that are wrong
3. It is not critical of others who may be struggling
4. It is not irresponsible concerning things that need to be done
What a Negativity Fast Is:
1. It is determining to focus more on God’s promises than on problems
2. It is learning to speak with hope about even the toughest of issues
3. It is becoming “solution focused” rather than “problem focused”
4. It is refraining from reacting, giving voice to pessimism, criticism of others, self-criticism and other forms of unbelief.
5. It is speaking about problems to the right people in the right way
6. It is replacing negative words & thoughts with positive words & thoughts based on the promises of God
