Tomorrow Christ Life Church ends its Daniel Fast, so I thought I would jot down some notes titled “What I learnt from the Daniel Fast”, mainly for it to serve as a good reminder for next year!
- We saw some tremendous miracles happen in our church – Phil Goldsberry, our Lead Pastor will be sharing a huge miracle in his life tomorrow during all our services.
- Fasting the garbage of this world totally turns you towards God! i could seriously get on my soap box right now but I will reserve myself. All I need to say is look at the time we spend watch tv, online and gaming, plus the ever growing obesity epidemic ……… ok ……. next point.
- It reminds me every year how powerful our physical bodies are vs our mind and spirit.
- I LOVE seeing new Christians take this on with passion and intensity ……..
- By the way ….. these young Christians see massive break through in their lives
- It SADDENS me how the ‘mature’ Christians pass this by as just another ‘thing’ the church is doing.
- For myself, this tends me a time of high-octane quiet times and a heightened sensitivity to the Holy Spirit
- Every single year that I have done this ( 7 years) I have seen demonic strongholds broken over people lives.
Mark 9:25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it: “Deaf and dumb spirit, I command you, come out of him and enter him no more!” 26 Then the spirit cried out, convulsed him greatly, and came out of him. And he became as one dead, so that many said, “He is dead.”27 But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose. 28 And when He had come into the house, His disciples asked Him privately, “Why could we not cast it out?” 29 So He said to them, “This kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting.”
- Accountability is KEY. Danielle and I keep each other in check, I always recommend that you find someone to journey with during this time.
- The 21 Day Daniel Fast has become pretty popular over that last few years and there are a number of good books out there. Jentezen Franklin, Fasting is one of the top books to read and get your mind and heart in the right place.
- Once again, my church does a 21 Day online devotional to help keep you focused each day, and at one time we also provided a drive time CD for you to listen to in the car.
