"I am man, nothing human is foreign to me" - Terence
We may be from different tongues, different tribes, different cultures, backgrounds,etc..., nevertheless we bleed the same blood when we're wounded; and we get hungry when we're not fed. It's the same as saying all dogs bark, maybe differently, but they do. All fishes need water, all birds can fly and all humans need God. Each creature is receptive based on its nature. We have the same basic needs.
2 Timothy 3
Every story in the bible is recorded as an example for future reference. If God delivered someone from an impossible situation, it's an example that you can rest assured HE'LL do the same for you. HE is The Almighty God. HE created the world by just using HIS words. We are but ants in HIS gigantic universe. HE'S got it. HE is it. HE is powerful enough. Plus, HE has also given you the power to overcome it. Luke 10 There's no power or authority in the earth that is greater than the power that God has given to those who walk by faith. The key to the equation is, do you walk by faith? Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11. You must believe that HE is, and that HE is a rewarder of them who diligently seek HIM.
CASE STUDY:
Daniel 3 There were three hebrew men who were captured and being groomed to serve the royalty of their captor. Their faith caused them to refuse to bow to and serve the gods of their new government. As a result they were thrown into a fiery furnace as an example to others who might choose to do the same. The men were adamant that they would prefer to die than to submit to a faith that was contrary to their beliefs. In the end, a miracle took place. Their God not only showed up in the fire visibly to all, but caused them not to get burnt nor singed by the fire. As a result the king order everyone in the kingdom to surrender to and serve the God of the three men.
What is your fire today? Will you concede to an action that does not line up with your faith for a quick fix? Will you hide behind something/ someone and ignore the truth? Or will you affirm like those three men that your faith is in a God who is real and who delivers. He will never leave you nor forsake you. Greater is HE who is in you than HE who is in the world. Never forget that! Our God is mighty to save. If HE delivered the hebrew men from a furnace unsinged, HE can and will do the same for you. Trust HIM! Give HIM a chance to prove it. HE'S a miracle working God. HE has given us so many different examples in the bible. Remember Samson when God gave him back his strength. Faith is a heart condition. It's more than emotions. It's a lifestyle. Jesus was the perfect example. Over and over HE tried to show the disciples how it was done.
John 14:11-14
11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves. 12 Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.
God loves to display HIS power, especially in impossible situations. Are you in an impossible situation today? Will you trust HIM today!
The real impact of fasting is to give you power to overcome obstacles you're unable to destroy in your own physical strength. Fasting is a spiritual enabler. It empowers.
WIKIPEDIA: Fasting is the abstention from eating and sometimes drinking. From a purely physiological context, "fasting" may refer to the metabolic status of a person who has not eaten overnight (see "Breakfast"), or to the metabolic state achieved after complete digestion and absorption of a meal.
Fasting is the act of foregoing food with or without foregoing other 'regular habits' in order to (re)gain clarity, deliverance, power and maybe lose weight. It is a physical exercise with a very spiritual outcome.
For a Christian, fasting is more than foregoing food. In addition to spending more time 'spiritually focused', it involves serving the less fortunate based on the Almighty God's command. Fasting should serve both self and others simultaneously.
Isaiah 58: 6-8
6 “Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke?
7 Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter— when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?
8 Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard.
There are multiple benefits from a habit of fasting. One great attribute is it offers clarity. You are able to focus better upon completion. It sharpens your discernment skills. It brings healing. In addition, God's promise is to be your rear guard, i.e your protector/ bodyguard as a result.
The human being has a mixture of physical and spiritual abilities. The spirit world and physical world co-exists. There is always a competition between both.
Galatians 5: 16-17
16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17 For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want.
On any given day, for every individual, either of these powers are leading. Whichever of these powers you feed the most will always be in the winning position.
Philippians 4:13"I can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth me".
There are several different types of fasts which include:
Dry fast - Avoid all food and drink
Water fast - Only drink water
Liquid fast - Only drink liquids
Daniel fast - Only eat vegetables for atleast 21 days
Naturally the body can go without food for 40 days. A dry fast is the most effective. However, people have different habits and challenges. It is a deliberate choice to abstain in order to accomplish a greater spiritual and or physical health for a specific period of time. God is a spirit and man was made in God's image and likeness. Genesis 1: 26-28 Therefore man is a spirit as well. Man is a spirit that lives in a physical body. God himself commands us to worship HIM in spirit and in truth. John 4:24 The spiritual is more powerful than the physical. In fact, in order for things to be manifested in the physical they first have to happen in the spiritual.
The world is regulated by laws, God's laws.
Psalm 138: 2I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy loving kindness and for thy truth: For thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
God is a king; and a king's word in his kingdom is always unrefutted law. For instance: gravity is a law. It doesn't matter the time, weather, or emotion. If it jumps/ or free falls, it will hit the ground. Fasting is also governed by God's laws. When you fast you gain power. You can fast for good or bad reasons. Christians fast, but so do witches and warlocks. Read the story of Jehosaphat in 2 Chronicles 20 OR Read the story of Queen Esther and Mordecai Esther 4
When you are faced with challenges and want an effective accelerated change you should fast. Effective fasting should include abstinence from food and all other pleasures to focus on scripture and praying. it should include dancing, praising, joyful shouting to God and laughter. These are manifestations of the presence of the Holy Spirit. Challenges are considered bondages. Each bondage requires a different level of fasting. Isaiah 58 Fast until you experience liberty from the bondage you are experiencing. There is " absolutely no chain that cannot be broken". 2 Kings 6 God is the most powerful being in the universe. HIS word as a king in HIS Kingdom says: Matthew 16:19 "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."
It doesn't matter who or what is your opposition. God's law is eternal. If you want (change) power, and even more power, fast.
