40 Day Journey 2015 - Enon Tabernacle Baptist Church

Notes
A Word from Pastor Waller
Then Jesus came near and said to them, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have
commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20
Once we are saved, our charge is to go and help others develop in the faith or to make disciples. However, in
order to help others become disciples, we must first be disciples ourselves. I do not take lightly my responsibility
as your Pastor to guide you, encourage you, and give you tools to grow deeper in God. One way that we grow
deeper in God is to worship Him through fasting and prayer. During this Lenten season, the 40 day period
between Ash Wednesday and Resurrection Sunday, I will again lead you in the spiritual discipline of fasting.
Lent is a time when Christians customarily fast in identification with the 40 days that Jesus fasted in the
wilderness (Matthew 4). Lent is also a season for self-examination and repentance. We fast so that we change.
Then, we help others to change. It’s about cultivating community! We have developed a number of tools to help
you on this 40 day spiritual journey. You will hear much more about weekly classes, literature, web-based
resources, recipes, and conference calls for prayer and encouragement. It is my prayer that we all emerge from
this Lenten season empowered to impact the community in a new and more effective way.
Finally, Lent prepares us for that great celebration of the resurrection. Despite our human failings, God loved us
so much that He made a way for us to be reconciled to Him through Christ’s death and resurrection. I look
forward to closing out the Lenten season with you here at the Tab as we celebrate together as one body God’s
extraordinary love for all people!
Shabach,
Reverend Dr. Alyn E. Waller Senior Pastor

40-Day Journey of Prayer & Fasting 2015
A Journey Worth Taking
With national and world events unfolding before our very eyes, 2015 presents a
unique opportunity through prayer and fasting to experience the move of God in our
lives and in the lives of our families. Through the Holy Spirit, the vision is cast for Enon
that “Family Matters.” Indeed family is the core of our being and the foundation that
plays an integral part of who we are, where we come from, our values and yes our faith. In
our family we find strength, wisdom, fellowship. Likewise, we may also experience the challenges of family with
strained relationships and differing views.
As we live under the umbrella of God’s Family; loved, blessed, provided for and protected, the opportunity exists
for us to follow His Lead and act in faith. During this 40 Day Journey our goal through prayer and fasting is to value
our walk with Christ and the core of the family; to pray for its’ continued strength and enduring impact.
Rediscover the connectedness of family as we pray, worship, study and learn through 40 Days of Prayer & Fasting.

The Daniel Fast
Know Your Numbers
The Daniel Fast restricts normal food intake by eliminating many foods commonly eaten to satisfy our appetites.
During the Daniel Fast you will experience a sense of hunger and a sense of sacrifice. The Daniel Fast
embodies a faith walk in which Daniel teaches us that commitment and sacrifice that honor God
will transform our lives. Thinking and acting with a worldly view may consume us with fear and
doubt. Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah overcame this worldly view by challenging
the chief official of King Nebuchadnezzar. They refused to eat the King's food, choosing
instead to adopt a diet of fruits, vegetables and water (Daniel 1). Daniel's experience
provides us with a powerful lesson that spiritual fasting and prayer empower us to seek
after those things we deem impossible but are a reality when we walk with Christ!
Simply, this journey is a return to Eden, where fruits, vegetables and whole grains
nourished the temple of God.
Fast Observance:
The Fast begins on Ash Wednesday,
February 18, 2015 and ends on Resurrection
Sunday, April 04, 2015. The observance of this fast
may be done as 40 straight days or the common

•
A commitment as fellow Christians to work together as “Family” for the “Place Where People Encounter God”
Scripture for Reflection
‘Then Jesus came near and said to them, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go, therefore, and make disciples of
all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have
commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20’
As a Community we will ask God to:
 Reveal to us our “Cause/Fight” for our community with purpose to fulfill His will in accordance with His Word
 Allow us to inspire and respond to the needs of our community through civil action and awareness
 Instill in us a spirit of good stewardship of this “Earthly” home the Lord has given us
 Give us guidance as we educate, nurture, prepare and protect our children for their future of promise and abundant life
 Live God’s greatest command, “Treat thy neighbor as thyself” as we pray for the eradication of violence in our community
Scripture for Reflection
‘You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled
underfoot as worthless. You are the light of the world-like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it
