Have you heard, beloved? Fasting is a sacred step. We fast for many reasons for breakthroughs,โจ for healing,๐ฟ for needs only heaven can meet.๐ But there is another fast, one called by God, appointed in God's calendar,๐๏ธ born in God's season.๐ฑ This is the fast of true intimacy with Him.๐ In this fast, the Holy Spirit ๐๏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 up๐ซ๐ธ In this fastโฆ We walk right up to the edge of the sharp swords.โ๏ธ We entered, almost fell into the cyclone of temptation๐ช๏ธ, and He will pull us out.๐ Again, He pulls us in,๐๐ Again, He pulls us out.๐๐๐ 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,๐ lifts us to the top of the hillโฐ๏ธโฆ 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?๐ญ No, beloved. Listen closely: He isnโt playing games Heโs building warriorsโ๏ธ๐ฅ Yes, we are warriors, ๐ก๏ธ Yet we almost forget. Our anger rages like a sunburn toward Himโ๏ธ๐ฅ because He allows us to go through it all. Our hearts cry out,๐ Yet our hearts forget: From where does this strength come? Is it our own? Is this unshakable perseverance ours? Born from our own discipline ๐ช, our own courage? No, dear.โค๏ธ It is His grace.โจ๐๏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 ๐๐ Heโs not letting us fall Heโs teaching us how to rise. Not letting us drown but showing us our eyes stay fixed on Him.๐ This isnโt punishment. Itโs holy training โ๏ธ๐๏ธ and the "TRAINING GROUND NAME IS FASTING"๐ฅ where human weakness Finally blends and meets GODLY strength. โจ Do not fear the trap โ Go boldly Cause He allows the trap only to pull us out ๐ชโจ So, stay anointed, warrior. ๐๏ธโ๏ธ Until next time...
Fasting is not something we do to God. It is something God does in us.๐โจ
