Fasting - Mark

I have been feeling like the Israelites that are camped outside the promised land, and I need to take an active step to slay some giants.

After some prayer and leadership from Seth, I believe that my active step is also a fast.

The giants in our family are sugar, soda, deserts, and television. When we get depressed, we turn to these comforts to escape the pain and the reality of our situation. These are the giants that are keeping us from spending time with God, and they are keeping us out of the promised land.

We had a family meeting tonight, and we plan to start our fast on Monday. The family will be fasting from sugar, soda, and television for 40 days until Good Friday. I will be worshiping God with a Daniel fast consisting of vegetables, fruits, and nuts. At the end of this period, we will have a big party to celebrate our encounter.

I believe that God is going to supernaturally knock down the barriers to our contracts and send us back to work in a big way. I believe that He is going to deliver us from the hands of our enemies, and pay off our debts. This small act of obedience is the key to the door to the kingdom. Please pray with us for the next 40 days as we Expect our Encounter.
