"Above all else, guard your heart,
for it is the wellspring of life."
(Proverbs 4:23)
Dear Friend,
Many of you have written to share your excitement and anticipation of this next 40-day journey with the Lord. This past week has been such an amazing time with the Lord as He has been revealing what this journey is that He intends for us to take together as we ascend His Holy Mountain!
Our new journey is also a 40-day online experience. It will be located in the Temple, at the Trumpet and Torch website (www.trumpetandtorch.org), alongside EAT at the Table of the King, our first 40-day journey together. When you enter the Temple site you will simply click on the Journey you desire to take. Your options will be on the Devotional Menu door. Please read the Foreword and Introduction located under Week One of the Wellspring journey to prepare your heart for this new journey.
New users, you will need to register first to gain access to the private Temple side of the webite. If you are already registered there is no need to register again. For those of you who are currently feasting at the Table of the King, we want to encourage you to continue. For those who are interested in this new journey, but have not completed EAT, we recommend that you begin with EAT before moving on to this journey. EAT is a prerequisite 40-day journey to prepare yourself for what the Lord has revealed for our next adventure with Him!
There is no need to re-register if you are currently registered at www.trumpetandtorch.org. Your same login and password is valid for this new journey. Your entry to the Temple is completely private and all of your journey's will remain in the same place. You can even continue to add entries to your personal journal at any time. This is your private space with the Lord.
We want to encourage you, as you begin this new journey, to invite a friend who has not yet sat at the Table of the King and come alongside them as an encouragement as they feast upon the bounty that awaits them. Both of these journey's are available at anytime. .
Our new 40-day journey is entitled:
WELLSPRING: Unleash Your Passion For God!
This new journey is all about sharing our rekindled passion for the Lord with the world. It's no longer about just sitting at the feet of the Lord and feasting on His Word. This journey is about moving in the power of the Holy Spirit as you fulfill the mission of God for your life! Wellspring is the outflow of all that you have taken in. Wellspring is about sharing with one another and growing in the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace (see Ephesians 4:3-4).
This journey is also about Communion: Our personal communion with the Lord and our corporate fellowship with other believers. EAT represented the Bread and WELLSPRING represents the Cup. "For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until He comes" (1 Corinthians 11:26). We have designed an area, in the Temple, for personal communion. This area is currently under construction and we will notify you when this area is ready for your use. We have been given the Cup and we have a mission in front of us - a mission that will require a daily diet of the Word of God and prayer as we boldly walk our our faith with confidence in trust in our faithful Lord!
With WELLSPRING, you will continue to feast upon three meals a day - breakfast, lunch, and dinner. (Be sure to click on the Wellspring journey when you enter the Temple). We recommend that if you did the last 40-day journey on a liquid-only fast that you give your body time to rest and do not attempt another liquid-fast at this time. There are many options for fasting (see FAQ and FAMILY TIME) and we recommend that most should consider a partial or Daniel-type fast and reserve the total liquid-fast if the Lord leads you for one or three-days at a time. This journey is about living the fasted lifestyle - a lifestyle consumed with knowing Christ more intimately and being obedient to His call - it is not about being consumed with the legalism of menu planning. The Trumpet and Torch mission focuses on knowing Jesus and growing in our intimacy with Him (see Isaiah 58 for a better understanding of True Fasting) and unity within the Body of Christ.
We ask for your prayers and your patience as we work through the details and possible technical difficulties that might arise from having two journey's running simultaneously online at the same time. If for some reason the Temple is not working in the morning you will receive that day's menu via email. We appreciate your understanding as we begin this new journey together!
It was a privilege to walk the last 40-day with you and we are so excited for all that the Lord has in store for the next 40-days. Invite your family and friends to partake of this bountiful feast!
For His Glory, Honor, and Praise!
