... are behind me and i am hoping the Lord will lead me into 40 glorious days of pure worship. Feeling great so far basking in His holy presence, sowing unto Him in every moment. Physical hunger is gone and now i am coasting, living holy unto my Lord, dying moment by moment to flesh taking every thought captive and bringing it into obedience to my Lord, filled with and led by His Holy Spirit. Anything you want of me Lord i will do with delight. in every way i am yours.
Thank you daughter of encouragement : ). I really appreciate your prayers and kind words of blessing.
Ah Mighty may what you wish be granted.
How are things? Just done 12 days myself with little water. I slide into a fast when ever these days and notice very little difference in energy levels. So much so that I cannot stop and rest during a fast. I will try and find the limit to that one day.
Every best wish and hoping your 40 days goes easy. T2
Thank you old friend and it is great to see you here. Things are going very well. What you describe sounds very much like evidence of your having reached very low levels of toxemia, so congratulations on that. I am actually quite a bit stronger to this point than i was anticipating as well, but i attribute this primarily to walking each moment with my heart connected to my LORD'S, much as a branch attached to the Vine.
Thank you also refreshed : ). This is a great prayer and i pray in agreement.
How's the fast going? I'm praying for you. May our Lord's will be done in this fast and in your life.
Hi Rainy. Thank you much for your continued support. The fast is going extremely well. The surrender and the accompanying intimacy with the LORD have been amazing. Much Holy Spirit tingling going on in my body, His tangible reminder of His holy presence. There is much Peace, much Joy. Since i started on the first and today is the 7th, today is day 7 at the end of which 7 full days will have been completed, so it's about 6.4 days now.
I have been protecting this fast by not being aggressive at all with dry fasting. I started with 2 days and when i began to feel fairly thirsty and a bit nauseated, i made the decision to drink right away at which point the bit of nausea quickly subsided. I hope to do some 3 day esther fasts within this fast, but i am foremost protecting the overall fast, so i am not pushing myself dry beyond comfort as i had done in the previous fast which resulted in 16 strait days of fasting nausea and the need to stop the fast at 20 days instead of the hope for 40 : ). I anticipate at some point in this fast that 3 days dry will become more comfortable and only at that point will i do it, and hopefully more than once.
The Lord arranged another divine meeting a couple nights ago with a guy who also lives a surrendered life of worship unto the Lord and who also has been blessed with the gift of healing. We became fast friends and when we prayed for one another, we both were richly blessed. He actually got delivered in Jesus name from a couple of things that had been coming against him and said He immediately felt them physically lift off of him and get replaced by peace and clarity. I then saw him the next night at a different fellowship, which also was great and we actually had the chance to pray together for 3 different people who needed healing, each of whom were healed instantaneously in Jesus name : ). A fourth man who was deaf did not instantaneously receive his hearing back but i pray that the LORD and His holy warrior angels are still working on this.
Thank you again dear rainy. Do you anticipate joining in the fast at any point? : ).
... and all is well. Each day has been a rich blessing in the Lord and i have found some amazing in-person support in a thursday night fellowship where i attend. I received some beautiful and deeply encouraging prayer last week in regards to this fast, sitting in the "hot seat" and getting immersed in the love of those who surrounded me with the laying on of hands : ).
Two days ago my brother and i made a pilgrimage to visit the gravesite of Daniel Nash to honor a great man of intercessory prayer and worshipful servant of the Lord Jesus. He was the man who prayed to prepare a city in the spirit realm for Charles Finney to come in and preach in what became a truly great revival.
It was a 4 hour drive and we left without having the address which took about 3.5 hours to research and find via smart phone while on the way... well sort of. We found the address of a cattle auction house which if it was to be the right one, the gravesite would be behind it down a dirt road.
