Psalm 37:4 Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.

Fasting.

I was chatting with a friend of mine about fasting. She said she had fasted several times. She fasts for three or four days at a time.

I asked her, "Why do you think fasting prayer affects our Father's heart with more power than prayer alone."

Her reply was quite insightful: "One of our basic needs as a human being is food. We crave it and need it to live. It is a fundemental part of our daily living, an entrical part. But, when we stop eating and turn that basic need over to God, it is one of the most profound offereings we can give Him.

We don't sacrifice on alter's to Him anymore but we can sacrifice our self, in other words, one of our basic needs." ~Lillia

Let's remember Jesus during his time of testing, He fasted for 40 days. He said, "It is written, 'Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.'"

Let's look at Jericho. They prayed and marched for seven days. And do you know what happened, the walls fell down with only the shouts of the people. 

God is calling me to crash through the walls, to bring them down. I have a top 10 He wants to bring forth, so, I am going to fast and pray. To humble myself not because I want my top 10 but I want to draw closer to God so I can hear His thoughts about my top 10 and how he will move me forward in them.

Join me starting today. Here is the fasting Guide to start our week. Write me as you move through this day. Remember tomorrow will be even more difficult. Don't let the devil stop you. Much is at stake. Be blessed, Lynn

    Today was difficult for me in that my husband and I argued about nothing practically, but I went in to my secret place and repented of it because one thing on my list is that I desire to be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to wrath. Nothing is going to hinder my desire to be closer to God in 2011. “Confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much”. James 5:16
    Pray for me.

    Shonea, I am praying for a breakthrough for you. I love those scriptures in
    James. James 1:19 really changed me. You are on the right path my sister.
    Hugging you today. Lynn

    awww man! i know the feeling. dont be discouraged by the conflict. I kid you not, Heath and I have had some sort of ridiculous argument right before I fast EVERY year – except this one (which is just a miracle in itself). Last year, literally hours before i started fasting we were at it. And we went at it until ten minutes before my start time. And it was bad. But I realized that anytime that happens, satan wants to derail what God wants to do in the fasting time. His attempt has always been to make me too angry to pray for Heath and our relationship; every time i push past that and do it anyway, there has been significant work done in us. This year is the first year we didn’t go into with conflict. The evil one will do all he can to keepyou from praying for your husband. You did right. Just keep on goin’ and don’t sweat the small stuff.
    I am praying for all who are fasting and seeking God. There are tremendous blessings in store. I’m just convinced of that.
