If I said that I’m conquering the stronghold of obesity in my life by simply changing my eating habits and some behaviors only, I’d be a absolute liar!
It wasn’t until The Lord instructed me to do the following did I start achieving victory: 1) seek God relentlessly to expose the hidden issues of my heart FIRST in prayer and fasting that was causing me to stay bound 2) take the time to read His Word, allow the word to build up my faith and give me understanding that I have power to break old habits 3) learn how to sit in prayer quietly before His presence to receive healing, strength and wisdom on how to overcome. 4) Make a commitment to developing new habits that are non-negotiable in Him. These things are the main ingredients that’s helping me to overcome, but, I still have more to go and need to dig deeper to help get me to the finish line.
I’ve come a long way, but, there’s still some areas that need to be put under subjection, so God’s calling me to dig deeper in prayer and fasting. So with that being said, the Lord was ministering to me about going on a fast, but this time, He wanted me to make this fast public for those that need to be strengthened and in need of a breakthrough too.
Join me on this 7 day fast and let’s expect a miracle!!!
The Lord laid on my heart to focus on the following during this fast:
1. Grace to Conquer our flesh and be Spirit Led. Grace to say NO to the things that keeps us in bondage and out of God’s will.
Hebrews 12:1 (NIV) … (I ) throw off everything that hinders (me) and the sin that so easily entangles (me). (I ) run with perseverance the race marked out for (me)…
Romans 8:12-14 (NLT)… (I) have no obligation to do what (my) sinful nature urges (me) to do…by the power of the Spirit (I) will put to death the deeds of (my) sinful nature AND I will live.
2. Break Double-mindedness and Make a commitment to what The Lord is calling for us to do.
Luke 16:13 (AMP)…No servant is able to serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will stand by and be devoted to the one and despise the other. (I) cannot serve God and mammon (riches, or anything in which (I) trust and on which (I) rely).
James 1:7-8 (NIV) …(If I’m double-minded, I) should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. (A) double-minded (person is) unstable in all they do.
Ephesians 4:23 (NLT)…(I will) let the Spirit renew (my) thoughts and attitudes.
3. Our will, purpose and desires will be aligned to Christ’s Will, Purpose and Desires for our lives. We will grow from Strength to Strength, Faith to Faith and We’re Empowered to Endure & Fight Until the End to retrieve our prize.
Colossians 4:2 &17 (NIV)…Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful….“See to it that you complete the ministry you have received in the Lord.”
Ephesians 3:14- (NLT)…I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources He will empower (me) with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in (my) heart as (I) trust in Him. (My) roots will grow down into God’s love and keep (me) strong. (I will) have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep His love is (for me). (I will) experience the love of Christ, though it’s too great to understand fully. (I) will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.
4. We’ll have a supernatural Encounter with Jesus that will change our lives forever, let’s pray that for the World as well.
Exodus 33:10-11 (NLT)… When the people saw the cloud standing at the entrance of the tent, they would stand and bow down in front of their own tents. Inside the Tent of Meeting, the Lord would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend.
Exodus 24:12,15-18 (NLT)...12 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Come up to me on the mountain….” 15 Then Moses climbed up the mountain, and the cloud covered it. 16 And the glory of the Lord settled down on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it for six days. On the seventh day the Lord called to Moses from inside the cloud. 17 To the Israelites at the foot of the mountain, the glory of the Lord appeared at the summit like a consuming fire. 18 Then Moses disappeared into the cloud as he climbed higher up the mountain. He remained on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
Exodus 34:29,35 (NLT)…29 When Moses came down Mount Sinai…the people of Israel would see the radiant glow of his face.
During this time of fasting, be specific with God what your needs are and what you want to see happen. Speak the scriptures above out-loud over yourself to build up your faith. Use discretion, wisdom and pray about how you should go about this fast and what your’re fasting for. In one accord, let’s put before the Lord the four fast focuses above being specific about each of our needs.
- Grace to Conquer our flesh and be Spirit Led
- Break Double-mindedness and Make a commitment to what The Lord is calling for us to do
- Our will, purpose and desires will be aligned to Christ’s Will, Purpose and Desires for our lives. We will grow from Strength to Strength, Faith to Faith and We’re Empowered to Endure & Fight Until the End to retrieve our prize.
- To have a supernatural Encounter with Jesus that’ll change our lives forever. Let’s pray that prayer for the World at large as well.
The Fast will start July 31st through August 6th. During this fast, we’ll rise up early and commit the first Hour of our day to The Lord in prayer and fasting. I’ll be rising up early at 5 am to begin this fast. For those of you that can rise up that early, that would be great, if not, do what you can, the Lord will see your efforts. I also won’t be eating during this hour, but each person will have to use wisdom and discretion if they’re able do so or not due to medical or health limitations or requirements. The bible says in Matthew 18:20 “For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” The Lord will be with us as we fast in one-accord and make the sacrifice to seek His kingdom for help.
If you’ll be joining this fast, please leave your name below in the comments section of this blog post so people will know to pray for you. During this time, let’s intercede for one another. I encourage you to write down the names of those included in this fast and lift them up before the Lord. There is power in numbers, so let’s shut down the kingdom of darkness that’s trying to prevail in our lives and do so in oneness and unity. I’ll be interceding for each of you as well. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this fast, please send me a private message in the “contact me” section on the site.
I’m looking forward to a great move of God that’ll break yokes, re-align us into Christ’s Will and Purpose and Empower and Propel us into the next level in Him. During these times, we all need to be empowered to overcome whatever we’re facing, SO JOIN ME!
As always, Stay Connected, Be Encouraged, Fight and Let’s Become Free Together!
