Ok, so I start this Daniel fast that Jentezen Franklin has. For two days, it is nothing but WATER. I am diabetic, and ate nothing for 2 days, and my blood sugar went crazy – 237 – UGH! I don’t understand. Not only that, but the headaches are a real PAIN! There is a reason for this madness. Why put myself and my body thru this you ask? Because I am expecting God to do great things with my obedience to him.
I am not tellling this story to gain man’s applause, I just ask my fellow brethen to pray for me, and ask God to strengthen me. It is really a difficult fast for me. I LOVE meat! Daniel refused to eat the king’s meat, so I haven’t eaten any since Sun. Nite. Yes, I broke away for one evening, then started back very strict. I know that the desires of my heart will be fulfilled at the completion of this fast! God will come thru for me. Pray brethren, pray! I need it!
Fasting is a battle of the spirit vs. the flesh. It also reminds us of the daily battle we face as Christians. I know that God is doing a great work in you and also your church. Keep of the work of the Lord, Man of God!
