Fasting
This last Saturday August 19th, I was in the bathroom and God spoke to me.
He told me to fast for 3 days.
I started Sunday morning and at the end of the day I was with a horrible headache. But I obeyed. I’m not doing this for the whole day, but kinda half day. When I wake up early like I did today, probably around 10 am or so, i should be done with that. Initially my plan was water fast for 3 days. But when I started fasting from 8 am Sunday and the clock hit 1 pm, my stomach was hurting so bad … I started thinking that the 3 days water fast was for sure something out of my flesh.
Even though! I’ve seen a few interesting things happening around me. Both spiritually and materially. I’ve seen some very interesting things happening in my material life. One of them is that my belly that was bloated friday night got back to normal. It became super flat again …. WOW … super incridible. When I broke my fasting Sunday evening, I was able to eat and drink at the same time and my belly didn’t get that shape like i was 3 months pregnant u know?
This is for sure something you were NOT expecting to read haha
But today in the morning, I woke up with this thing that I wanted to pray.
I woke up early at 4:30 am. Then I went on, took my cold shower, then got to my desk and prayed.
I was listening old songs from hymnbooks and I was singing it and crying. It was so good. It was so refreshing. It’s good to feel The Holy Spirit, best friend.
I was confessing my sins, repenting from my broken heart and saying out of my lips that I needed Him so much. Life battles are tough and you have to be strong.
I believe fasting is not an option for a true believer but it is a must. When we fast, we reset our bodies. We refresh our minds. We become more sensible to the things of The Spirit. We see life a lot different.
I can tell you that I didn’t cry like I cried today for years. And it was only me, my desk and my laptop playing old songs from the hymnbooks and me singing with my terrible broken record voice.
I believe God is preparing me for something greater. I’m becoming very sensible and soft and tender and sweet. Like a spiritual flan.
One thought came to mind is that when I was younger, my grandparents liked to fast every Sunday before going to the church. So they fasted 4x in a month. Today, we barely hear people talking and teaching about fasting. Fasting gives more clarity. It gives more insights. It helps you think better. It makes you take decisions with more assurance. It gets you closer to God.
Consider adding fasting on your monthly basis.
