Fasting is not something we do to God. It is something God does in us.๐Ÿ›โœจ


Have you heard, beloved? Fasting is a sacred step. We fast for many reasons for breakthroughs,โœจ for healing,๐ŸŒฟ for needs only heaven can meet.๐ŸŒ„ But there is another fast, one called by God, appointed in God's calendar,๐Ÿ—“๏ธ born in God's season.๐ŸŒฑ This is the fast of true intimacy with Him.๐Ÿ’ž In this fast, the Holy Spirit ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ Himself performs surgery on our spirit. He allows us to face every old temptation to train us, to kill the cocktail emotions of flesh and spirit mixed up๐Ÿšซ๐Ÿธ In this fastโ€ฆ We walk right up to the edge of the sharp swords.โš”๏ธ We entered, almost fell into the cyclone of temptation๐ŸŒช๏ธ, and He will pull us out.๐Ÿ™Œ Again, He pulls us in,๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ™Œ Again, He pulls us out.๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ™Œ Again and again, this ring cycle continues, day after day. It stumbles us. It makes us tremble. Our own flesh rises on us like a wave,๐ŸŒŠ lifts us to the top of the hillโ›ฐ๏ธโ€ฆ only to push us off. And He allows it. He allows the beating. He allows the rattling. He allows us to feel broken, exposed almost condemned. Why? Is he playing some kind of game with us?๐ŸŽญ No, beloved. Listen closely: He isnโ€™t playing games Heโ€™s building warriorsโš”๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ Yes, we are warriors, ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Yet we almost forget. Our anger rages like a sunburn toward Himโ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ because He allows us to go through it all. Our hearts cry out,๐Ÿ’” Yet our hearts forget: From where does this strength come? Is it our own? Is this unshakable perseverance ours? Born from our own discipline ๐Ÿ’ช, our own courage? No, dear.โค๏ธ It is His grace.โœจ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ We must call upon His grace. He secretly holds us in it. Every time He allows us to face the edge, He cuts away the part of us Every time He pulls us out, He teaches our hands to hold His ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ™Œ Heโ€™s not letting us fall Heโ€™s teaching us how to rise. Not letting us drown but showing us our eyes stay fixed on Him.๐Ÿ’– This isnโ€™t punishment. Itโ€™s holy training โš’๏ธ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ and the "TRAINING GROUND NAME IS FASTING"๐Ÿ”ฅ where human weakness Finally blends and meets GODLY strength. โœจ Do not fear the trap โ€” Go boldly Cause He allows the trap only to pull us out ๐Ÿ’ชโœจ So, stay anointed, warrior. ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธโš”๏ธ Until next time...
