We can raise the consciousness of the people and really make a difference over the next 40 days. I know a fast is a private discipline between the believer and God, or it can be done for health reasons. This is not the fast that we choose. We choose to feed the hungry. This is not a private fast this is a corporate call to action designed to get attention. Attention for those who are forgotten after the holidays, those thousands we see year-round at our offices for rent assistance food and clothing, those we feed weekly at outdoor camps and indoor ghettos right here in Atlanta, and those around the State that we serve through partnerships with other organizations meeting the needs with our help. What better time than during one of the holiest times of the year for humble servants to do their reasonable service. The prophetic, our ability to speak truth to power, to know the times and see Gods hand in the earth; will only come from our prayer life. So we are asking Atlanta to pray for us as they help us serve God`s people. The prophetic life is a product of prayer, and when we see the people on Easter the whole dinner is one great prayer Oh Lord bring us together to know the true value of life the human soul.
- Elizabeth OmilamiAs fire when thrown into water is cooled down and put out, so also a false accusation when brought against a man of the purest and holiest character, boils over and is at once dissipated, and vanishes and threats of heaven and sea, himself standing unmoved.
- Alvina TanLove is the crowning grace of humanity, the holiest right of the soul, the golden link which binds us to duty and truth, the redeeming principle that chiefly reconciles the heart of life, and is prophetic of eternal good.
- Andy GoodenowThe holiest of all holidays are those kept by ourselves in silence and apart; the secret anniversaries of the heart.
