FASTING :)

I just had this feeling inside to post about this topic. So... ya, here i go!

Question: What is the first thing that comes into your mind when i say fasting?

Answer: Most probably your answer is food. ( no use lying to yourself :p )


That was the answer that also comes into my mind everytime the word FASTING appeared. However, there are other things that are better than food. No doubt food is essential in life, you will feel hungry and you will be tormented and stuff. But all these are in a way "physical pain".

Now give yourself a moment before carrying on reading. Think about things in your life that is much more important than food (e.g. TV, Facebook, MySpace, Handphone, Movies, Music and much more...). Just try to think of 1 to 2 of these. (try not to skip this step)





THAT ARE THE ONES THAT ARE DISTRACTING YOU FROM GOD!!!





Try fasting the things you have listed. Try fasting for 3days? 1 week? 1 month? You may actually feel uncomfortable and attracted to it everytime u walk pass ur TV, MP3 and more...
You may actually find out that those are distractions/parasites in your life. SATAN IS USING THOSE TO BRING YOU AWAY FROM GOD! So my brothers and sisters, stay strong and take heart! Throw those distractions away from you and you will hear God's voice. God had never stop talking to you, you were not listening. It is like cotton buds in your ears. Take it out (fasting) and you will hear Him.

NOTE: DO NOT compare what you fast with your friends. It is personal between you and God. The same things have different meanings to everybody.
