This month our church has been participating in 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting for Spiritual Awakening in Louisiana. We’ve tracked through a 21-Day devotional authored by Claude King as well. One of the highlights has been the Complete Spiritual Inventory that was part of day 6. The questions destroy any sense of self-righteousness and bring you face to face before God. You can download the devotional here. The Inventory is on page 50. I’m going to hang on to this and try to do it at least once per year. Here’s a few of the questions that I’m still grappling with. Take a little inventory yourself:

Was there ever a time in my life that God completely transformed my life and made me a brand new person – therefore, the following elements are lived through the message of my life:

• Old things passed away (attitudes, thoughts, desires, motivation, vocabulary, lifestyle, actions, reactions) and all things became new (new heart, new love, new purpose, etc.)? YES or NO
• I cannot sin and get away with it without conviction? YES or NO
• I do not love the things of the world (worldly lifestyles, clothes, music, crowd, philosophies…)? YES or NO
• I have a desire to do God’s will in every area of my life? YES or NO
• I cannot continually or habitually practice the same sin? YES or NO
• I love people with all my heart and demonstrate it by giving of myself to minister to their physical and spiritual needs? YES or NO.
• God answers my prayers? YES or NO

By example and proof of your life which is more important?

• People or Production
• Service or Success
• Ministering or “The Ministry”
• The worker or “The Work”
• Quality and depth or Quantity and size
• Prayer and Fasting or Methods and programs
