pre part of 40 days on purpose driven life
Purpose Driven Life
it's in Christ that we find out who w are and what we are living for. Long before we first heard of Christ, ... he had his eye on us, had designs on us for glorious living, part of the overall purpose he is working out in everything and everyone.
Ephesians 1:11 (Msg)
okay I think that this is important so I am writing this.. in here to make the point of the 40 days
Your Next 40 days
Today the Average life span is 25,550 days. That's how long you will live if you are typical. Don't you thnk it would be a wise use of time to set aside 40 of those days to figure out what God wants you to do with the rest of them?
The Bible is clear that God considers 40 days a spiritually significant time period. Whenever God wanted to prepare someone for his purposes, he took 40 days:
Noah's life's transformed by 40 days of rain
Moses was transformed by 40 days in the Promised land
David was transformed by Goliath's 40 Day Challenge
Elijah was transformed when God gave him 40 Days of strength from a single meal
the entire city of Nineveh was transformed when God gave the people 40 days to change
Jesus was empowered by 40 days in the wilderness
the disciples were transformed by 40 days with Jesus after his resurrection.

Discussion Questions (DQ)
I strongly urge you to get one or more friends to join you in reading this bood during the next 40 days. a jouney is always better when it is shared with a partner or a small reading group you can discuss what you read and bounce ideas off each other. This will help you grow stronger and deeper spiritually. Real spiritual growth is never an isolated, individualistic pursuit. Maturity is produced through relationships and community.

"Two are better off than one, because together they can work more effectively. If one of them falls down, the other can help him up... Two people can resist an attack that would defeat one person alone. a rope made of three cords is hard to break." Ecclesiastes 4:9 (TEV)
