EDITOR’S DESK WILL YOU?
A
fter seeing him, the shepherds told everyone what had happened and what the angel had said to them about this child. All who heard the shepherds’ story were astonished. (Luke 2:17-18 NLT) The appropriate response to an encounter with Jesus is telling everyone what happened. It's in our DNA: when our hearts meet His, our souls scream, "GO TELL IT!" Will you GO? It is our calling to become familiar with King Jesus. Our Christian walk rests on how familiar we are with the love and grace of Christ. But we mustn't trade a familiar relationship with Him for a familiar attitude toward Him. When we do this, our time with God yields flippant inaction. Is the knowledge of Jesus enough for you to tell the whole world about Him or has the culture of revival become too commonplace to you? But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. (1Peter 2:9 ESV)

The gospel story begins and ends with a GO. From the shepherds to the woman at the well and the many healed by Jesus, all had the desire to TELL IT. But what about your story? Will you TELL IT? No one can tell your story quite like you. Where did you first encounter your Lord and Savior? What has He done for you? What are you confident that He will yet do? How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of the messenger who brings good news, the good news of peace and salvation, the news that the God of Israel reigns! (Isaiah 52:7 NLT) As we approach the beginning of a new year, we are reminded through the celebration of the birth of Christ, that the story marks the promise of a new beginning. So many today are in need of the hope you carry. Will you share it? At CFTN, we are a refuge for those who are hurting and looking for a genuine encounter with Jesus. Our job is to expose people to the goodness of God so consistently that they become convinced God is good all the time. We want to encourage you this month, GO TELL IT!

Begin 2020 with Pastor Mike and the CFTN Family on a new 21-day prayer and fasting initiative. We believe fasting is a spiritual discipline we are all called to do, and when coupled with prayer, it has tangible consequences. Even more, we grow in unity & solidarity when we fast corporately. Let’s join together in fasting and prayer to start off 2020.
BEGINNING JANUARY 6, 2020 ARE YOU WITH US?
Let us know you’ve committed by tapping COUNT ME IN from the CFTN app. We'll send you a confirmation now, and in January, we'll throw our finest resources your way!
PRAY PERSONALLY
Spend some time each day connecting with God and also covering the daily prayer focus.
PRAY CORPORATELY
Connect with us in person for one of the many corporate prayer opportunities during 21 Days.
FAST TOGETHER
Your choice of what to fast is between you and the Lord. We will send you Daniel Fast resources for some encouragement.
