What did God do through your fasting and prayer? If He worked in your life in any way, take a moment to share your story. It will put God on display—and bless and encourage others!

The Touch of God – Moses: Sermon by David Wilkerson
Do you want to be a man or woman whom God has touched? When God gives you an urge to seek Him, it means He wants to touch your life. If you’re fasting with Pursuit 21, you no doubt have felt an urge to begin seeking God. So He clearly wants to touch your life. But in order to become a God-touched man or woman, you must first respond to two calls from Him—the call to come up and the call to... read more
