Fasting brings one into a deeper, more intimate, and powerful relationship with the LORD. When you eliminate food from your diet for a number of days, your spirit becomes uncluttered by the things of this world and amazingly sensitive to things of God.
“As David stated in Psalm 42, ‘Deep calls unto deep.’ Week 1 is that first step down the path to your breakthrough. The first step is many times the hardest step, but as you walk through this journey, you will find that God is there to meet you at every critical point along the way.”
Are you ready for a breakthrough unlike anything you’ve ever experienced before? Remember to continually pray because only God can provide you with the strength, both physically and emotionally, that you will need during these 21 days.
The disciples cannot cast the demon out of the boy, and Jesus has to do it. Some only come out through prayer and fasting.
Matthew 10
Solomon speaks about the three-fold cord and how it cannot be broken.
Sometimes we need renewal in our spiritual lives. Fasting is one of the ways that you can cleanse your body and aid the process of communicating with the Father.
Day 7: Feed on the Word
“I have not departed from the commandment of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth more than necessary food.”
Job 23:12 (NKJV
“Therefore go…” Jesus says. “God is with you…and so am I.”
On your eighth day of fasting, remember:
1. Water needs to be with you at all times
2. Rest and relax as much as possible
3. Remember your prayer time and prayer place
4. Write your thoughts in your prayer journal
5. Continue to meditate and listen
6. Sugar free mints
Day 9: Is He Speaking to You?
Remember, Paul was fasting when God called him and shared the assignment for his life, and Peter was fasting on the rooftop when God gave him a new revelation and called him to take the gospel to the Gentiles. What will God reveal to you during your Fast?
Day 10: Every Assignment Has a Birthplace
Are you listening? Every assignment God gives you has a birthplace. What is He saying to you today?
Fasting is a biblical way to truly humble yourself in the sight of God. King David said, “I humble myself through fasting.”
The Holy Spirit is using your fast to reveal your true spiritual condition, resulting in brokenness, repentance and a transformed life.
God will not allow you to give in to temptation! Remember your dream to complete the fast and keep your feet on the path of righteousness.
“If my people who are called by name will humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”
II Chronicles 7:14 (NKJV)
What was your reason for starting this fast? Have you had a spiritual awakening? God is rejoicing in your dedication – thank Him for His strength.
As you continue on this journey, keep your focus…on God. He will guide you and direct you so that your life will honor Him.
“‘Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine. And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel.”
Exodus 19:5-
God doesn’t want you to worry. He wants to be in control of your life and guide you through your daily challenges. As you are fasting, and giving God your body, give Him your spirit, too.
“Now, therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is mine.”
Exodus 19:
“‘And you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel.”
Exodus 19:6
“Proclaim this among the nations: Prepare for war! Wake up the mighty men, Let all men of war draw near, Let them come up…Multitudes…multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.”
Joel 3:9-1
