21 DAYS OF FASTING AND PRAYER 2026 MEDITATION 19

Posted on by under Pastor Wrinkles

Good Morning Everyone,

We are now in the final hours of our 21 days of fasting and prayer. Here is meditation 19.

1 John 5: 6-12

This is the one who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ. He did not come by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. 7 For there are three that testify: 8 the[a] Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement. 9 We accept human testimony, but God’s testimony is greater because it is the testimony of God, which he has given about his Son. 10 Whoever believes in the Son of God accepts this testimony. Whoever does not believe God has made him out to be a liar, because they have not believed the testimony God has given about his Son. 11 And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.

1 John 5:6-12 (Source: Equip the Called)Theme: The Testimony of God
1. Jesus came by water and blood, emphasizing the reality of His physical human life and death.
2. God’s testimony is greater than human testimony, and He has testified concerning His Son.
3. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.

THINKING TIME:

  1. WHAT DOES IT MEAN “JESUS CAME BY WATER AND BLOOD”?
  2. WHY IS GOD’S TESSTIMONY GREATER THAN HUMAN TESTIMONY?
  3. WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO HAVE THE SON?

21 DAYS OF FASTING AND PRAYER 2026 MEDITATION 18

Posted on by under Pastor Wrinkles

Here is our evening meditation for day 20 of our 21 days of fasting and prayer.

1 John 5:1-5

Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well. 2 This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands. 3 In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, 4 for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. 5 Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.

1 John 5:1-5 (Source: Equip the Called)Theme: Faith Overcomes the World
1. Anyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God.
2. Love for God is shown in keeping His commandments, and they are not burdensome.
3. Your faith is the victory that has overcome the world.

THINKING TIME:

  1. WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS THE CHRIST?
  2. WHAT COMMANDS OF GOD ARE YOU CURRENTLY RELYING ON GOD TO HELP YOU OBEY?
  3. WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE TO TRUST GOD TO HELKP YOU WITH OBEDIENCE?
