THE FAST OF DIRECT OBEDIENCE

 

THE FAST OF DIRECT OBEDIENCE IS GOING TO BE A LONG AND HARD ROAD TO TRAVEL BUT IN THE END IT WILL BE WORTH THE JOURNEY, HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHY THE ROAD SEEMS HARD AT TIMES? BUT THEN YOU GET TO THAT POINT IN THE ROAD AND YOU FIND OUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT MORE SIMPLY IF YOU HAD CHALLENGED THE SPIRIT REALM BETTER?, WELL THIS IS WHAT THIS FAST IS ALL ABOUT, THERE ARE MANY SCRIPTURES IN THE BIBLE THAT TELLS US THAT CHRIST WANTS US TO BE LIKE HIM IN EVERY WAY, BUT IT IS THROUGH OUR DESIGN OR THE LACK OF IT THAT TAKES DOWN THE ROAD THAT WE DECIDE IS BETTER FOR US.

THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT THERE IS A WAY THAT SEEMS RIGHT TO MAN, BUT IN THE END IT WILL LEAD HIM TO DISTRUCTION.

 SO, WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR?,

WHY ARE WE NOT LOOKING TO GOD?

WHY ARE WE NOT WAITING FAITHFULLY ON CHRIST?

IN THIS FAST AND IN THIS BOOK, AND IN THIS NEW YEAR, WE WILL DISCUSS THESE QUESTIONS AND MORE THAT DIRECTLY RELATES US TO THE WILL OF THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE GIFTING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.

 

NEW TEACHING ON FASTING;

 

IN THE BOOK OF MATTHEW JESUS WHEN HE WAS BAPTISED, WAS PROCLAIMED BY GOD, THEN HE WAS LED INTO THE WILDERNESS TO BE TEMPTED OF THE DEVIL, WHILE THERE HE WAS TEMPTED OF ALL THINGS, AND HE OVERCAME THEM.

 

RULE NUMBER 1 - FASTING BREAKS TEMPTATIONS POWER OVER YOUR LIFE.

THIS IS EVIDENT, JESUS DID NOT GO TO FAST, HE WENT TO BE TEMPTED, TO WIN, HE WOULD WOULD HAVE TO MAINTAIN HIS FAITH AND NOT BEND TO THE WRONGS OF THE SERPEANT, JESUS KNEW GOD THE FATHER AND HE KNEW WHO THE DEVIL WAS, HE ALSO WAS VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE WORD, HE DID MORE THAN JUST SPOKE AND QUOTED THE WORD, HE MADE IT A LIVING PART OF HIS LIFE.

 

RULE NUMBER 2 - FASTING IS MORE THAN JUST GIVING UP FOOD

IT IS EVIDENT THAT THE BEST FAST OUT THERE IS THE FASTING FROM FOOD, OR THE TURNING AWAY OF THE PLATE, WHICH ALSO GLORIFIES THE BODY, DID YOU KNOW THAT CONTINOUS FASTING HELPS TO KEEP YOU FROM HAVING A G I BREAKDOWN, A.K.A. DIVERTICULITIS OR SOMETHING TO THAT FORMAT? HOW, WE EAT A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF HARD TO HARSH FOODS EVERYDAY AND THAT IS HARD ON OUR INTERNAL ORGANS, FASTING HELPS KEEP IT RUGULATED BY GIVING YOUR SYSTEM A BREAK, A WELL NEEDED BREAK.

BUT FASTING CAN BE FROM WRONG THINKING, WHICH IS NOT ALLOWING THE THOUGHT TO COME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH AND KEEING THEM CAPTIVE WHERE THEY BELONG, NOT EVERY THOUGHT NEED TO BE SPOKEN, THERE ARE FASTS FROM CERTAN PEOPLE, IF THEY GET ON YOUR NERVES, THEN YOU SHOULD FAST FROM THEM UNTIL YOU GET YOURSELF TOGETHER, AND THOUSANDS OF OTHERS.

 

RULE NUMBER 3 - FASTING BRINGS YOU INTO THE THINGS OF GOD

 

YES! IT IS TRUE THAT FASTING WILL BRING YOU INTO THE THINGS OF GOD HOW? SINCE YOU NOW CAN'T BE TEMPTED, YOU NOW CAN HEAR GOD, AND BE MORE MOTIVATED TO DO WHAT HE SAYS AND THE BIBLE SAYS THAT GOD BLESSES THOSE WHO DO HIS WILL
