  1. PRAYER & FASTING Fasting promotes greater concentration of spiritual perception, insights, decisions, actions and attitudes as well as greater effectiveness in achieving God’s purpose.

  2. AWAKENING ALIGNMENT Aligning my life to Jesus, His Word, His authority and His Kingdom with single-hearted devotion and Biblical principles

  4. ALIGNMENT DESTROYERS • World – Alignment can be corrupted by the spirit of this world • Flesh – Alignment can be ruined by the twisted power of the flesh • Devil - Alignment can be hindered by the work of the Devil

  5. ALIGNING A LIFE THAT HAS NEVER BEEN ALIGNED TO JESUS To align to Christ is to move from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of God, to move from being “out of Christ” to being “in Christ.”

  6. ALIGNING A LIFE THAT HAS DRIFTED AWAY • Psalm 56:8 • Luke 15:18-21 • Jeremiah 30:17 • Luke 15:24

  7. ALIGNING MY LIFE TO PURITY The pure in heart are those whose motives and desires are under the control of Christ • Matthew 5:8 • Hebrews 12:14 • 1 Peter 1:15-16 • 2 Timothy 2:22

  8. PURITY DEFINED Purity is the state of beingunmixed and undefiled, without spot or stain, free from any pollution or contamination. To be pure is to be 100% authentic; to be innocent, clean and holy unto the Lord.

  9. WE LIVE IN A FILTHY CULTURE • Filthy Garments • Filthy Language • Filthy Conduct • Filthiness of Flesh

  10. WE ARE TO LIVE PURE LIVES 1 Corinthians 7:1 …So then, let us purify ourselves from everything that makes body or soul unclean, and let us be completely holy by living in awe of God. (GNT) …we should wash ourselves clean from every impurity of the flesh and spirit, making our sanctification complete in the fear of God. (HCSB) …Let’s make our entire lives fit and holy temples for the worship of God. (Message)

  11. WE CAN BE CLEANSED FROM ALL IMPURITY • Ephesians 1:7 • 1 John 1:9 • Psalm 32:5 • Isaiah 1:16 • Psalm 51:2, 7 • Psalm 25:7

  12. DECLARATION OF PURITY I declare that I am redeemed by the blood of Christ. I am a new creation. I am not the product of my past, but a product of Christ’s work on the cross. I am free from all sin and all bondage. I renounce all former activities of my past. I stand in the grace of God now.

  13. ALIGNING OUR LIVES TO GOD’S AUTHORITY • Psalm 24:10 • Daniel 4:34 • Psalm 100:3 • Matthew 6:13 • James 4:7 • Hebrews 13:17
