Just wanted to share something !!

[Guest Thomas I believe]

Hi Brothers and Sisters, I just wanted to share some very good news. I am still in absolute shock at what has happened to me. This morning a 3 day fasting and praying came to an end for me. I feel close to my Lord like I never have before. I found myself praying and meditating constantly. Even at work yesterday I was in prayer several times during the day. God has showed me a couple important things to me. First of all lets go back to the beginning. God put it on my heart to fast and the longest fast I had ever done was one day. God told me seek Him in prayer and fasting and don't stop until I tell you. I willing said ok even though I was concerned about no food for longer than one day. At the beginning of my fast I had a very bad cold coming on, and I even asked the Lord, is this the right time? God reassured me it was and I trusted even though my human trait of doubt came into play. Day 2 my appetite basically had gone away, but I was feeling terrible due to my cold, fever, sore throat cough etc. I kept praying asking God to see me through this. My screen name here at worthy is what it is because i doubted as Thomas did. There are still times that I have doubts and of course satan is always there to encourage that. I was in very deep prayer late sunday night and God was shaking me, convicting me on things that need change in my life. I began to pray in the spirit and at the same time I felt a burning develop in my lungs and throat and nose. I was a little disturbed by this as I didnt know what was going on. I kept praying and eventually fell a sleep. Yesterday morning I woke up and my cold all symptoms all signs if were completely gone. Today they are still gone. God healed my physical affliction! WOW Praise God. I believe God healed me to absolutely prove to me how much He cares! How Powerfull He really is. To prove to me that I must have absolute faith in Him. And believe me I do. God has blessed me, touched me in such a special way and he has also reckoned with me to focus even more on Him. Other breakthrus were made to and He has released me from this fasting period. Things happened to me during this time that have changed my life forever. To be steadfast in my faith and my service to Him is the one message that He keeps speaking to me. What an awsome God we serve and His love for us is immense. I Praise you Lord so much! I just wanted to share this with all of you. Michael ( The never will doubt again Thomas) :dove

That is an awesome testimony! THanks for sharing it with us!

To answer your question, on occasion, I fast but not of all food. When I feel led, I will abstain from certain foods until I feel led by the Lord in a particular area. For instance, a few years back there were concerns for my son (who is special needs) and I abstained from drinking anything but water and from chocolate. I didn't set a specific time like two weeks, but I said during that time I would pray for my son and when God tells me, I will stop. It went oon for about two months then I felt at peace about everything and felt God tell me the period was over.

Thanks for the insight Katie, very much appreciated. In His Peace, Michael :dove
