During the prayer meeting this afternoon God really spoke to me. It is the strongest encounter I have had since I have started this fast. This has by far been the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. I have done a 3 day water fast before, but I have never done a 7 day. I have lost 20 pounds already and have never felt so weak. All I could do is think about is what food I am going to eat tuesday evening. Of course not all, but it just seems like for most of the fast I have just been slugging around and complaining how tired and hungry I am. Maybe on the outside you wouldn't see that, but that is what is going on in my heart.
Every day my prayer has been Lord I pray my heart is in right standing with you and that you would honor that. But my actions if I am being truly honest are basically counting down the days until I get to eat my extra large pepporoni and italian sausage pizza from Sicilian that I have been craving, with soup and salad of course:) Which leads me to today at the prayer meeting on the 6th day of our fast.
God said if I asked you to go 7 more days would you? Why are you really doing this fast anyway. Is it to prove to yourself that you can do it, or maybe to chalk it up as one of the religious duties you have done? Are you really trying to seek me? Because I am seeking you my son. I love you more than you know!
I totally broke down and got so convicted and I told Him yes I would go seven more if that's what it takes and if that's what you want. I guess I will see what happens tomorrow night if God wants to call my bluff, but I would like to think it wasn't a bluff, but that was my sincere heart. Many times the Lord speaks on the 59th minute, but we react on the 58th. The question is are we willing to wait and hold on.
