Day Five

As we fast from things that make us comfortable, we need to remind ourselves as to why we are doing this.

Fasting brings us to a place of physical weakness, but out of that we come into a place of spiritual strength.

There's something very humbling about fasting. It brings with it a quietness and a subdued way of living for a few short days, but don't be fooled into thinking that physical weakness during a prolonged fast means that you are weak spiritually too.

Some of your greatest days of real strength will be evident during this 10 day fast.

A few years ago I made my way to speak in South Africa after a 10 day fast. I arrived pretty weak and thin. I felt that I had nothing to give to the couple of hundred people that waited in the line for a miracle after one of the first services.

I was physically exhausted as more and more came for prayer, and then just as I was about to leave, a lady came rushing in to ask for prayer for a man that was dying with cancer. The man was at home in bed and was not a Christian and didn't believe in 'that kind of stuff'.

In weakness and exhaustion I prayed over a handkerchief that the lady had bought in to take it back and lay it on her sick friend.

Just a few days later the man reported that he had been for a scan and the five tumours, the size of tennis balls, had completely disappeared.

Feeling hungry? Push through and see God’s power released into your life.

Thought For The Day

Seasons of fasting and prayer help you get your sensitivity back to the things of God. Remember…dieting changes the way that you look but fasting changes the way that you see.

Verses For The Day

2 Corinthians 12:9-10
But He (God) said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
