It's great that your mom decided to do a water fast. It is best to do it for spiritual reasons. Health will spring forth even on a spiritual water fast, so why not make it unto God? The most important benefits are spiritual even though health does come in second. That second benefit will happen anyway. One good thing about making it unto God when it comes to health is, not only do you have natural healing from the fast working for you, but I believe it will be easier to receive supernatural healing by the stripes of Jesus. Both will be working in your favor. :)
Wonderfully spoken Rainy, i agree completely : ).
I can't believe how I have been struggling lately on the liquids. Yesterday I was ready to pull my hair out even though I can drink all the healthy liquids I want. My hunger is increasing even on liquids. I just squeezed some grapefruit juice. Grapefruit is suppose to help take away hunger. I just drank the juice from two whole grapefruits and I am still hungry!
The juice from 2 grapefruits is all you wanted? :). Honestly, in a juice fast, if it was me and i was still hungry i would have 5 or 10. What keeps you from having more?
I only have three more days before I start my longer water fast. Right about now I am wondering how I am going to get through these 40 days. Did I bite off more than I can chew? I am just getting very restless.
What is nice about water-only is that at some point (usually 1-3 days) the physical hunger will usually go dormant. How long do you anticipate the water segment to go?
I'm glad you enjoyed the songs. They definitely helped me get through yesterday when my hunger just reminded me of how hungry I am for Jesus.
This is a great way of allowing your hunger to work in your favor :).
I really love this worship song and this rendition by Kari Jobe: Wonderful Merciful Savior http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbsnLvPOkKA&feature=bf_prev&list=PL588DC6496863A8A0&lf=plpp_video
