So far, so good. Yesterday as I was leaving work God gave me the story of Joshua and Jerichco. Why? I am not 100% sure, but I think it has to with the tearing down of strongholds. I am still waiting for more clarification...
Day 5: Fasting AND Praying
Solomon speaks about the three-fold cord and how it cannot be broken.
12 Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
On your fifth day of fasting, remember:
1. Utilize your Prayer Journal
2. Concentrate on your own personal prayer time and prayer place
3. Keep sugar free mints on hand
Physical Effects:
1. Headaches begin to subside
2. Cravings subside
3. Weight loss can be noticeable
4. Bad breath becomes a concern
Today's Quote:
"Tragically, precious little in this hurried and hassled age promotes such intimacy. We have become a body of people who look more like a herd of cattle in a stampede than a flock of God beside green pastures and still waters."
Intimacy with the Almighty
Thoughts for your Journal:
1. Why do you think fasting is important in order to achieve your greatest breakthroughs? It is a way to submit and humble your self before the Lord. You are constantly praying and seeking him throughout the hunger pains and that is truly self-sacrificing.
2. Jesus fasted, and He intimately related to His Father in heaven. How has this experience so far helped you to relate to your Heavenly Father? You know, I am not really sure yet... I just talk to him about every second of every day and pray that he hears me.
