Fasting is an act of our will. It is a choice to suppress the flesh and exercise faith to receive an outcome beyond our ability. We choose to fast when we decide we are hungrier for God and His action than for anything else. Tammy Hotsenpiller

The antennas are very spread out this morning at the Australia Telescope. #cycling #Narrabri

Believing is powerful, and prayer is powerful, but sometimes we must pray, fast, and expect our miracle. Tammy Hotsenpiller

That is why fasting is such a powerful practice—it is a way of letting go and fully embracing a God who loves us completely! Tammy Hotsenpiller

Broadly speaking, miracles are divine interruptions into human affairs. Miracles are beyond our reach, our ability, our effort, our capacity, our strength. They are “beyond human” and beyond our human capacity to reason; thus, they are divine. Tammy Hotsenpiller

Another crisp, frosty morning, excellent for riding to Jacks Creek and Gun Club Roads. #narrabri #cycling

The sacrifice of praise is offered when all is darkness around us. It is offered of a heavy heart, unto God because He is God and Father and Lord. Merlin Carothers

Praising God with a pure heart means we must let God cleanse our hearts from impure motives and hidden designs. We have to experience the dying to self so that we can live again in Christ in newness of mind and spirit. Merlin Carothers

Temperature fell below freezing this morning – minus 0.3. My body wasn’t into going all the way to the telescope today, but I did go to the sign to the telescope. #cycling #Narrabri

I was beginning to learn that praise was not just a form of worship or prayer, but also a way of waging spiritual warfare. Merlin Carothers
