Fasting, Day 15 (Monday)

Home > Pastor's Blog > Fasting, Day 15 (Monday)

I discovered something yesterday that I failed to talk about during my messages on fasting. I talked about the actually fast and I talked about the afterward, but I forgot to talk about the “DURING”!!!!! WOW! Did the Lord not show out and show up yesterday? You will never make me believe that it was not in direct result to praying and fasting. God helped some people give up some things that they’ve been carrying around. Some of dealing with some heavy issues, but they brought them to the Lord.

I also felt such a freedom to worship God yesterday. I danced and jumped so much that my knees are sore today. But I’m loving it!!!!! I believe that God is responding to our drawing near to Him. BUT DON’T STOP!!!!! Keep pressing in to Him. Keep seeking Him. Keeping calling out to Him. Our moment that we experience with Him Sunday is passed and we can’t be satisfied to just have that one moment. We want to meet Him like that every time we come together. We want to experience Him, both publically and privately.
So I rejoice that we can experience some answers to prayer DURING the fast. But all the things I’m praying for haven’t happened yet. So I continue on to honor my commitment and covenant with the Lord. I will not be deterred. I will not be back down. I will not stray off the course that has been laid in front of me. I AM DETERMINED to hold and until my AFTERWARD comes!!!!!

Gal. 6:9 - And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
