40 Days of Faith - Benjamin Reynolds
Preface
After his death Jesus showed the apostles a lot of convincing evidence that he was alive. For 40 days he appeared to them and talked with them about the kingdom of God.
- Acts 1:3
The concept for this book was birthed in prayer during the month of April 2011. I had been praying about my sermon for an upcoming Pentecost Celebration conference in which I was going g to be preaching at the following May. I was studying Acts chapters one and two regarding the subject of Pentecost when the Spirit of the Lord began to deal with me to go in another direction. The Lord impressed upon me to not teach on the miraculous events that occurred on the day of Pentecost, but rather to teach on what the disciples before Pentecost. The Lord specifically showed me Acts 1:3 where he spent forty days teaching and instructing the disciples about the kingdom of God. From there, I then began to study the significance of other forty day periods in the bible such as Moses' forty days on Mount Sinai where he received the Ten Commandments. I examined the forty days that Joshua's spies spent searching the Promised Land of Canaan and Jesus' forty days of prayer and fasting in the wilderness. I eventually came to the conclusion that most every forty day period in which someone spent with God in the bible led them to a time of discovery of God's purpose and plan for their lives. Each time a person spent forty days praying, fasting and seeking the Lord they came out of that time period spiritually stronger and anointed.
In May, I preached about this subject at that conference that I was scheduled to speak at and introduced the 40 days of Faith program to several churches, including my own. The results were phenomenal! During and after the forty day period, most people testified of miraculous events occurring, getting spiritually stronger and seeing Jesus Christ and the gospel in a brand new light. I knew then that this program had the potential to change the lives. I decided to formalize the program and put it into a book format. This book is for anyone wanting a deeper relationship with Christ, a better understanding of the gospel and a more anointed life. The benefit of this program is that it only requires minimum time and effort to see tremendous results. It require daily faithfulness and a desire to grow in Christ. If you can be faithful to the program, you will see results.
The 40 Days of Faith program is designed to bring individuals, groups and churches closer to Jesus Christ and the will of God. It closely follows the example of the disciples as they talked with Jesus for forty days before the Day of Pentecost. This is a structured program which requires daily discipline and faithfulness that produces daily results. The overall objective at the end of the forty day period is to increase your faith and closeness with Christ. You will greatly enhance your effectiveness in prayer and your knowledge of God’s Word. Each day you will gain the necessary faith and confidence to be able to experience the same results that the disciples
