Re: To be continued...

I'm now in my seventh day with 34 days left. I just completed a two day water-only. I was hoping to go for three, but that didn't work out. I may set a goal for water-only phases of this forty days, but in the end I will go day by day evaluating my needs as I go.

I somehow know that I will need to do a lot more fasting than this 40 day period. I am thinking and praying about what to do after that. Maybe I will do a twenty day Daniel fast and then get back on this again. I am not sure, but I do know that I must press on.

The Lord spoke to me very clearly several months ago while I was writing an email to someone about spiritual things. He told me that if I did not obey Him in fasting and prayer that I would never see His will for my life. Although He did not speak to me in an audible voice, I heard Him as clearly as someone speaking to me in an audible voice. I am so very grieved today because several months have pasted by since then and I have made very little progress in obeying Him in this. I know this is causing a blockage in my spiritual life. He has so much more for me, but I am blocked from receiving it due to disobedience in this. He has breakthroughs waiting for me, but I am blocked from receiving them due to disobedience in fasting and prayer. I continue to let the cares of life come before obedience to our Lord. This has got to change! I must press on!

The Lord is all I live for.

He gives me meaning to life.

There is nothing else in life worth living for.

I must press on. Tweet
