Day 9 - Fast 2009

We have almost reached the half-way point! I'm with Pastor, I think it's easier to do a normal fast and harder to do a Daniel's fast. Is it me or does eating so many fruits and vegetables leave you filling a little bloated sometimes? I think today I'm at the point where I would just rather not eat than to eat the Daniel's fast food.

Service was good and I'll share the "Things to remember about Fasting":

1. Add extra time to your prayer life and your time in the Word.


2. Have a clear target for prayer focus.


3. If you fail, don't give in to condemnation - the Lord will give you fresh motivation to begin again strong.


4. Make your commitment and determine to finish your fast.


5. Prepare for some opposition


6. Expect to hear God's voice through the Word, dreams, visions and those over us in the Lord


7. Remember, fasting is sacrifice. It's not easy, but we can do it because we do it unto Him.


8. Do not listen to the lies that nothing is happening. God rewards every person who fasts in faith.


9. Don't be discouraged if you don't see immediate results, Many times breakthroughs come not only during a fast - but after and sometimes long after


10. Expect as you hunger in the flesh during fasting, that you enter into new levels of understanding, anointing and power as your spirit hungers for God

Remember, the purpose of fasting is to align our hearts with God's heart. We are not just trying to get something from God, but we are seeking to realign our heart's affection with His through prayer and fasting.

Be blessed and be a blessing to someone today.
