FASTING: a spiritual discipline to help you grow closer to God and rest in Him and His strength.
This past week, most of my squad and I were asked to fast from food for three days to spiritually discipline ourselves. Now, most people will hear this and think “I could never do that, but good for you,” however, anyone can fast. It’s all about learning to rely on the Lord and His strength. That was one thing I was constantly reminded of over the three days. In the hunger, the Lord would speak to me and tell me that He is the Bread of Life and has all the nourishment I need. He would fill me with His word and truths and my hunger would go away. I was able to spend three whole days in His presence getting to know Him as my Father better. The Lord is so good and faithful to me. While it was hard at times and I grew frustrated, He was patient and granted me strength. We ended our fast last night with worshiping the Lord before dinner to praise Him for all He had done in each of us. To celebrate, after dinner, we had oreos and melted marshmallows for dessert.
This past week was full of revelations, healing, and time well spent with the Lord and others.
