You did it! You made it through your first week of fasting and we are so proud of you! We know God is moving for you during this fast! I want to share some helpful tips and scripture as this first week winds up, and share with you some resources that will be helpful to you moving forward for the remainder of the fast!
Tips for remainder of the fast:
Remember, it's not about the "food." In a fast like this, it's very easy to get caught up in "what I can and cannot eat," and begin focusing on the food more than the fast! Remember this is a time of dedicated consecration to the Lord. Do your best to keep your focus on fellowship with God. Be intentional about including the following every day: prayer, praise, and reading/studying of God's Word!
Don't let the devil distract you with the food!
Set fresh goals for the coming week. What worked well this past week? What didn't? Re-evaluate and set new goals for the coming week! The Bible says, "Without a vision, My people perish." Ask God to give you a clear vision in your prayer time. Ask Him to show you where your focus should be and to align your will with His!
Our Scripture for today is found in Ezekiel 36:26
"I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you. I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give yo a heart of flesh."
God is working on you my friend. Stay faithful to the journey. Pray for yourself and others who are in this time of consecration with you.
"Is this not the fast that I have chosen; to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke!"
The answer is YES!
Be blessed and encouraged as you go forward into your second week of fasting and consecration!
We also want to encourage you to engage with us on the homepage of the app! There, you will find a chat room, recipes, a downloadable workbook, and so much more. Be sure to launch the app and look for all the resources! Be sure to read our daily devotions too! Each devotion ends with a prayer and a strategy to help guide you to lasting success!
Much love in Him,
Julie
