Kerri:
I’ve been thinking about fasting going into this new year of 2010.
Many of us will be leaving old things (that aren’t working for us anymore) behind us, and pressing into, or stepping into some “new” areas and things that God wants for us in the New Year.
What a better way to start the new year off right, than to prepare our body to prosper and be in the best of health that it can be!!
Also what a way to prepare ourself for the “possibilities” and “opportunities that await us ahead!!!
Fasting has a way of “shutting off the things of this world” that come to “distract” our focus away from the “purpose” that God wants us to pursue.
As we “fast & pray in the Holy Spirit”, we can hear God more “clearly”, be “led by the Spirit” more “acuratly”, “obey God” easier, get His “wisdom” (needed for difficult problems, get a spiritual “vision” or “dream”, “overcome” the battle of the mind (soul), and get our soul to “tap into our spirit man to “understanding” the scriptures.
“Fasting with prayer” can “set us free” from fears, bondages, and hinderances that keep us captvie.
It taps us into the power of “the Holy Spirit – & gives us the “boldness” to go out into the world and give people “hope”, (a word of “exhortation”, “comfort” and “love”), & pray for their healing.
Fasting and prayer destroys the works of the enemy, and brings “life” to dead things and people.
I’d like to do a partial fast with water/juice, and vegies to start off the new year right.
Are beans a vegie, or a meat substitute?
Got any suggestions?
Happy New Year favored one!!!
