Fasting for Spiritual Breakthrough--The Elijah Fast.
|
Posted By: Marta Fernandez on December 29, 2008 Well family 2008 is almost over..we don't want to wait until January 1, 2009 to begin our vision for improvement. Let's make a resolution to prepare early. We have to choose how long to fast. It can be eight hours but more than the time from meal to meal. Can you fast, when going to bed? presumably if you will be in prayer most of the night in God's presence and until noon the next day. You can break it up over several days, if you have to go to work,to pta and business meetings. It's about our will, determination and desire to please Him, not passing out from hunger. The Elijah Fast is used for breaking negative emotional and mental habits. The more deeply rooted the habit the more intense the fasting and prayer, the longer you have had the habit the longer you have to fast. Nothing is easy. The Affirmation: I believe in the power of God over the whole person, spirit, soul and body ( 1 Thessa. 5:23). I believe that " He has given us not a spirit of fear, but of power and love and a sound mind." (2 Tim. 1:7, KJV). Vow: God being my strength, and grace being my basis, I commit myself to the Elijah Fast for building godly character, to the glory of God. Fast: What I will with hold_Red Meat,_____________________________________________ Beginning: Date and time I will start_6:00 p.m. December 30, 2008_____________________________________ End: Date and time For a day or two intervals . Then I will stop._Every 3 months that's 4x until next year. I will do the fast as I can for whatever amount of time the Spirit and earthly chores allow me. Purpose: I am fasting /praying to break the emotional habit of:_Personal between you and Your God.______________ Bible Basics: I Kings 19 Bible Promise: " For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you or forsake you. " So we may boldly say." The Lord is my helper: I will not fear." (Heb. 13:5,6). Resources needed:_A Strong will --it's our Covenant with the Most High. Universal Intelligence _____ Prayer Partners:_Mozell Fleming__Sheril Harris_Marta Fernandez_Blase Sylvester-MIn.Dr. Jacqueline House-Bey_Dr. Min.LaDonna Blaylock_A Friend Katherine_Greta Rushion_Tracy Banks Steps After Fast:_Physical cleansing--detox for 14 days in January. I am using Enzymatic 14 day cleansing._____________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ (evidence of how God is delivering you) Signed:__________________________Date:____________________ My source of inspiration is Love, the plan comes from Fasting for Spiritual Breakthrough,by Elmer L.

This post was initially placed on BlackWomenConnect to be in concert with my sisters. It has been removed from there and I would like to know why? Though I am calm, because God sees everything,you cannot hide..the funciton to syndicate is still on BWC--and the other blogs appearing on both networks are still there..God is Great, and the Devil is a liar. God Bless..The Fasting is really working--bringing the enemy into overtime!!
