Hey! I've only got ONE THING on my 'bucket list': to take part in 40 days of prayer and fasting!
Just imagine lying on my deathbed...'I'm glad I went to New Zealand and saw the little hobbit houses'?, 'At least I jumped out of an aeroplane strapped to some stranger and got a video of me pulling funny faces'?, 'I'm glad we had that family holiday in Disneyland and managed to pay for it out of the mortgage'?
But how about 'I reached a point in my life where I so seriously sought the Creator of the universe that my friends and I prayed solid for 40 whole days, regularly skipping meals just to express how vital we think God is'.
Bonkers! Wonderful!! How could I NOT do it??!! (and it costs nothing! In fact...it could save me a few quid in grub). I'm free to not do it. But I must do it.
As a church near here once said on it's website, 'we believe that nothing of any lasting value will take place unless it is energised through an encounter with the spirit of God.'
