Regenerate for 40 Days

Regenerate for 40 Days: The number forty is significant with Regenerate. The number forty in the Bible is associated with probation, testing, and trial. It is the product of 5 (grace) and 8 (beginning of a new era or order) leading to and ending in revival and renewal. Regenerate is looking at self and putting into action what God would have you do to Give up, Start up, Step up - becoming more like Him reflecting His character resulting in a transformation of body, soul, and spirit.

Regeneration is the process of renewal, restoration, and growth. We are whole and healthy people when we work continually on all aspects of ourselves. Physically we can give up a bad habit like poor eating and replace it with eating better foods. Step it up physically and join Zumba, group hikes, or some other type of exercise. Give up, Start up, and Step up in developing your relationships with other safe people, and spiritually with God by prayer, fasting, worship, tithing and Bible study. The goals of Regenerate are to get closer to God, improve relationships with others, and to be the best you can be. Love motivates to do the right thing for ourselves so we can be the best for those we love.
