Wow, I am amazed at how God is sustaining me. In day 22 of a 40 day fast and still no hunger pains, simply amazing. I believe we have many of the messes that we have in our lives because we have neglected the Word of God. God has given us the words, His words and we should fast.
I had a phone call form a friend who informed me they are worried about me. When I asked why, the answer was because you are going to kill yourself not eating. No, I am not going to kill myself by not eating. I have said from the beginning if I get to a point that I need food I will take it. There is a lot of good medical research to show that fasting is a good discipline for us but more than that, Jesus fasted and He assumed that we would also.
It is sad that we hear so much about our need to pray today, we hear very little about our call to give (because we are afraid we will offend people) and we hear next to nothing about the spiritual discipline of fasting. Why is this? If I might answer this question myself, “We do not want to give up our lust for food”
I am living proof that a person can live for 22 days without solid food. In the course of the 22 days I have had 2 V8 Juices and 2 bowls of broth and I feel great. Lets seek the face of God with prayer, giving and fasting. God says that His Words are our very life, why don’t we learn from Him and heed His Words?
Deuteronomy 32: 46-47
he said to them, “Take to heart all the words I have solemnly declared to you this day, so that you may command your children to obey carefully all the words of this law. 47 They are not just idle words for you—they are your life. By them you will live long in the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess.”
Wow, I stand in Awe!
