Results of Fasting

What an incredible response to our Prayer and Fasting to "Link Up with the Lord so He can LAUNCH US". I’m really excited about all God is going to do in and through our church and all of His people around the country that have linked up with us in this fast. I was just thinking about how powerful fasting is. I heard it said once that fasting as it relates to prayer is the “spiritual atomic bomb” that the Lord has given us against the enemy. Every time I fast personally or I go on an extended fast with my leadership or church…

I sense the presence of the Lord powerful. I feel the fire of God in my heart.
Powerful truths and revelations of God’s Word seem jump off the pages of the Bible at me.
I hear God’s voice much more clearly.
I am refreshed, re-energized and full of faith.
I receive supernatural guidance for my life, leadership and for the church.
I sense the favor of God in a powerful way and that I am aligned with God’s purpose and will for my life.
I have confidence that we have received God’s vision and direction for the church that year.
I experience joy and peace big time.
I see all kinds of supernatural breakthroughs and miracles in the church.
My mind and body feel fantastic after fasting. My health is in peak form
.

After I fast, I look back and think “what if I wouldn’t have fasted…” I would have missed God on so many things – and so many things would be a lot more difficult and complicated this year. Thank you Jesus for this incredible, powerful weapon of fasting!

Scripture for today: Psalm 85:4-6, “Restore us again, O God our Savior, and put away your displeasure toward us. Will you be angry with us forever? Will you prolong your anger through all generations? Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?” (NIV)
