Re: The first 3.5 days of water-only fasting unto the Lord

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? : ).
