31 days of fasting: Day 3

31 DAYS OF PRAYER & FASTING 

DAY 3 OF PRAYER & FASTING 

SCRIPTURE:

DANIEL:10:3

I ate no choice food; no meat or wine touched my lips; and I used no lotions at all until the three weeks were over.

PRAYER STARTER: 

Father God, I thank you for keeping us all last year. A New Year can often bring a mixed of bad emotions and memories for many of us. The events of 2021, including an ongoing pandemic, racial tensions, joblessness, and political unrest created an unprecedented time of unrest and anxiety. While some may have just experienced the best year ever and look forward to an even greater one ahead, others may have just trudged through one deep struggle after another. The fresh calendar year brings desperate hope for things to be better, with an ache for the still-fresh wounds to slowly begin their process of healing. Praying at the start of the New Year doesn't always bring immediate change at the stroke of midnight, but it begins the opening of our hearts to God's Words of hope and peace and trusting GOD no matter what. I'm excited about this 31 days of praying and fasting that we can start on a new journey, a new destiny and new purpose in life.  This is the 3 day on fast. I’m so grateful and thankful to God for the opportunity to increase my relationship with him and explore all the possibilities that we can experience on these 31 days of a journey of prayer and fasting. I thank him for allowing us to develop a closer and stronger relationship with Him.  I have great expectations to see all that’s going to happen on my journey as I go through these 31 days of prayer and fasting and consecration. I also printed out my fasting contract so that I can detail all the things that I want to offer up to God to see him move on my behalf. I don’t know if anyone has been on a spiritual fast before but this is my  17th year of my journey of fasting and praying with GOD guiding me. But 2022, I’m expecting a higher move of GOD with and signs and wonders. I'm asking him continuously to build me up and strengthen me to walk with me and to take me higher in him. Last year was a very trying time, but I’m embracing this year and this new season with great anticipation that we’re going to see a mighty move of God. I’m very excited about the move of GOD in this season. Let’s see what's GOD is going to do in this 31 days of prayer 🙏🏽 and fasting.

UNDERSTANDING PRAYER AND FASTING: 

As a ministry: Anna the prophetess, Luke 2: 37. 

Here we find an 80 years old Prophetess and a widow, SERVING God with fasting and prayer, night and day. No wonder such a consecrated life was greatly rewarded, as she knew of the Jesus child and the redemption of Israel.

It is evident that elderly people are well able to fast and pray without physical harm and thus obtaining better health and add several good quality years to their entire lifetime.

 

Receiving the gifts of the Spirit. Dan. 6:23-24 and Dan.9: 22-23

As a direct result of fasting, very often one receives one or several of the nine gifts of the Spirit. During a fast and after a period of fasting, the gifts of the Spirit will operate much easier. Think of Daniel. He was fasting often. He experienced visions and dreams and mighty miracles took place in his life, subduing the flesh. 

If we do not master the flesh, the flesh will master us. Fasting is a “Blitzkrieg” set for the subjugation of the flesh. There is no more rapid or effective way to win the war against the flesh.

Fasting will greatly aid in the “crucifying of the flesh” Romans 6:6 …that our old man is crucified with Him.

While this great warfare goes on, there is a great turmoil within the soul because the soul is the battleground between the FLESH AND THE SPIRIT. Galatians 5:17," for the flesh lusteth against the Spirit and these are contrary to one to the other, so ye cannot do the things that ye would."

Galatians 5:19-25, "Now THE WORKS OF THE FLESH are manifest, which are these: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, v.20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, v.21 envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like…. They that do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. V.22 but THE FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, v.23 meekness, temperance… v.24 And they that are Christ’s have CRUCIFIED THE FLESH with the affections and lusts. V.25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit."

The easiest way to conquer the flesh is by fasting! The fruits of the Spirit will come forth. Really, it’s a glorious feeling during the fast and even after the fast, the wonderful feeling that you are the one in command over the flesh.

I’m praying for a move of GOD for all my family, friends, and love ones . 

Lord, At the start of each day, help us to recognize you above all else. Enlighten the eyes of our hearts that we might see you and notice how you're at work through our lives. Give us wisdom to make the best choices, fill us with a desire to seek after you more than anything else in this world. Let your Spirit and power breathe in us, through us, again, fresh and new.
