2025 21 Day Fast:

Week One: The Outer Court / Redemption /Belonging to the family of God

Day 5: Thursday
It is in the outer court that the battle begins.
You decide which kingdom you are going to belong to. When you choose to be water baptized you make a public declaration that you are going to live for Christ and repent of your sins.

You are no longer on this journey of life alone.

Jesus desires for you to know Him. We know Him by daily reading His Word and communicating with Him through prayer.
The church plays an intricate role in helping to prepare you for your entry into the Inner court.

Scripture to mediate on:
This week meditate on Colossians 1: 13-14 “He has rescued us from the domain of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of the Son He loves in whom we have redemption for the forgiveness of sins,”
