So I have been feeling a spiritual tug over the last 4 or 5 weeks to go on an extended fast. I have done my best to ignore it up till now, but feel as though I cannot put it off any longer.

Fasting was used regularly in the Bible to seek God’s will, to get the flesh in check, and to open the communication lines between a person and God. Even Jesus fasted.

The Bible actually says, “….WHEN you fast…..” which means God just ASSUMES Christians are going to do it!

I have only gone on one extended fast in my life. I fasted for a week about 10 years ago, other than that I have done the day fasts and fasted meals. Our church actually fasted sweets last summer, but that was easy I don’t have much of a sweet tooth.

Anyways, I have a bunch of things I am going to be fasting for and I will try to keep journaling through the process as I am not sure how long it will be and want to have a written record of what God is saying to me.

Keep me in your prayers.
