21 DAYS OF FASTING AND PRAYER 2026 MEDITATION 7

Posted on by under Pastor Wrinkles

It’s day 13 of our 21 days of fasting and prayer and we are still catching up with our meditations in 1 John. Today we are looking at 1 John 2:12-14 which reads….

I am writing to you, dear children,
    because your sins have been forgiven on account of his name.
13 I am writing to you, fathers,
    because you know him who is from the beginning.
I am writing to you, young men,
    because you have overcome the evil one.

14 I write to you, dear children,
    because you know the Father.
I write to you, fathers,
    because you know him who is from the beginning.
I write to you, young men,
    because you are strong,
    and the word of God lives in you,
    and you have overcome the evil one.

1 John 2:12-14 (Source: Equip the Called)Theme: Confidence in Your Spiritual Standing
1. Your sins are forgiven for His name’s sake, a foundational truth for all believers.
2. You have overcome the evil one through the power of God’s Word abiding in you.
3. Be strong in your faith; you know the one who is from the beginning.

Thinking time:

  1. What do you think is the significance of Dear children, fathers and young men?
  2. Which of those three refers to you?
  3. What does it mean to have the word of God living in you?

21 DAYS OF FASTING AND PRAYER MEDITATION 2

Posted on by under Pastor Wrinkles

Here we are 10 days into our fast and I am catching up on our corporate meditations. Here is this morning’s meditation in written form.

1 JOHN 1:5-7

This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. 6 If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all[b] sin.

1 John 1:5-7 (Source: Precept Austin)Theme: God is Light, Walk in the Light
1. God is pure holiness and light; there is no darkness in Him.
2. Walking in the light means living in agreement with God’s nature, not hiding sin.
3. The blood of Jesus continuously cleanses you as you walk in the light, restoring fellowship with God and others.

THINKING TIME:

WHAT DOES THE WORD HOLINESS MEAN TO YOU?

IN WHAT WAY IS GOD LIGHT?

INIHOW CAN YOU BETTER WALK IN LIGHT TODAY?
