Elder Cannon, I
. .Are you asking me to leave my family and stay in I
church all night in prayer and to fast all day I
(Friday, March 7 from 7 a.m. until 5 a.m.) Saturday I
morning? Well it seems unreasonable, but I must I
obey the Lord. I
. This is a long way from where we live. Look How U
Far Jesus Went To Pay Your Debt And Look How He
suffered. And Vou Want To Find Fault In Giving The
Lord One Day And Night...It Is Left Up To You! If I
Were You I Would Obey God And The Man Of God!
No Excuses Will Work. “What ever you can
conceive, and believe, you can do. Jesus Christ of
Nazareth must become first in your life. God
always keeps his promises. Join in this Fast.” Bring
your problem and cares and leave them at the altar.
“Howbeit this kind goeth hot out but by prayer and
fasting.” (Matt. 17:21). The greater the sacrifice,
the greater the blessing. Jesus said, "For with the
same measures that ye meet withal .it shall be
measured to you again.”
..Please obey and be blessed. God is calling the
believer in so that he can give you a greater
annotating, the weak so that you may be strong, the
sick so that you may be healed!!!!!!! WILL YOU
OBEY? The eighth of March will be to late.
THERE WILL BE PREACHING, SINGING AND PRAISING GOD.
