“Who is going to save the church? Do not look to the priests.
Do not look to the bishops. It’s up to you.” - Fulton Sheen
Stay Tuned...it all depends on YOU!!
One of the later catalytic effects of fasting is: "The ancient ruins shall be rebuilt for your sake, and the foundations from ages past you shall raise up; 'Repairer of the breach,' they shall call you, 'Restorer of ruined homesteads' " (Is 58:12). Our culture of death is by definition a culture of broken relationships. We have mass-produced ruined homesteads. If you will let the Lord rebuild these ancient ruins for your sake, your fasting and obedient follow-up to fasting is exceptionally important to the world. You are the very person the world needs desperately (From Presentation Ministries)
"You want to change the world, but you don't even know how to change a tire."
