Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.
(Matthew 17:19-21) KJV
The reason for fasting.
Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours.
(Isaiah 58:3-6) KJV
Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high.
Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?
Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
Let me show the world your power.
Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come.
(Psalms 71:18) KJV
Life is just beginning.
And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you; That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.
(1 Thessalonians 4:11-12) KJV
I just had the opportunity to get completely out of debt and purchase another, better, car for use with Uber. I kept the old car.
Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
(Romans 13:8) KJV
Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
(Ephesians 4:28) KJV
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
(Philippians 4:6-7)KJV
I was doing fine driving for just Uber, but I started to stress about all the Lyft cars I was seeing. I kept wondering what the world of Lyft looked like and what I was missing out on. When I got approved to drive for Lyft I started driving for them , trying to run both apps at once. It added a level of stress to my life that I didn’t need and I was making less money. I decided to drive exclusively for Uber.
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
(Matthew 6:24)KJV
Alcohol
Wine is not beer, not even IPA.
Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works.
(Ecclesiastes 9:7)KJV
Be sober:
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: (1 Peter 5:8)
(1 Peter 5:8)KJV
And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
(Ephesians 5:8)KJV
Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
(1 Thessalonians 5:6-8)KJV
