Hello everyone,
I hope everyone are having a bless day and are conquering the world and are operating within their divine vision given by God. I decided to name this blog “The Importance of fasting, and why its necessary to have a deeper connection with God”, because sometimes we tend to go to our daily lives, whether if its work, operating businesses, or any area of dominion that the Lord has placed you to operate within. Sometimes people become so focus in the world, like watching the news, television, going about with their daily activities in life, they tend to forget to give God some attention
Giving Thanks To The Owner
The purpose of this blog is to remind everyone to always set time in their lives for the Lord, to give thanks to the Lord for what he has accomplished in our lives, the wonders he has done, to give thanks to the Lord for even smaller things in life like breathing, waking up in the morning. If it was not by the grace of the Lord, these things would not be possible. I remember when I was diagnosed with Covid19, at the start of the pandemic, and went to the emergency room, and could barely breath, and ended up staying in an emergency room for many days. Breathing normally was the only thing I wanted to do at that moment, and I could barely do that at during that period of time. I could barely walk by myself to the hospital restroom. It was at this moment I had one of my connection with God, a deep connection with God. During that moment I realized, the grace of God has been watching me all my life, and how easily we tend to not give God credit for the many free gifts that he gave us in life like the gifts of sight, going to bed and waking up in the morning etc. Since that time I became more thankful to the Lord for many of those gifts in life.
I’m thankful I was able to make a full recovery by the grace of God. Fast forward we are now in 2024, and society seems to be moving towards a fast-paced environment, and that itself can lead some people forgetting to even set spend time to connect with God, and I’m sure some people are wondering, how can I get closer with God. Well one of the ways you can get close with God is through fasting. Fasting means to give up something during a specific timeframe. fasting can be done during working sessions, you can fast by not eating for a timeframe such as 10 hours during a day etc.
The way I prefer to fast in order to connect deeper with God is sometimes I would dedicate 48 hours, where I would drink plenty of water, and eat minimum food, mainly fruits. During that period, I would listen to various worship songs, and pray to the most high to draw his presence, and sometimes would dedicate a period of time reading various verse in bible, and then sleep to let the spirit of God talk to me. The thing about prayer is that it’s a way to give God legal access to earth through his children. Nothing happens on earth without the cooperation of a human. That is why God said in 2 Chronicles 7:14 NIV “ If my people which are called by my name would humble themselves and pray , seeks my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from the heavens, and I will forgive their sins, and come and heal their land”. During fasting period, you start to have a deeper connection with God, and your inner thoughts become God like, you start to feel a presence surround you which is holy, and pure, and you start to have a deeper conversation with God. It’s recommended that you put your phone in do not disturb mode, no social media during that timeframe. The reason for doing this is to zoom out from the world, and the draw the presence of God. The main focus is to draw the presence of the King Lord God and let him speak to you.
The Many Benefits of Fasting
Fasting is good, because it helps you to realign yourself with Gods divine purpose and calling for your life. fasting does not necessarily have to be 48 hours, you can do a 2-4 hour fast depending on how God wants you to dedicate that timeframe to connect with him. Fasting can help you to clean your body, spirit and soul. Fasting is very effective to have a connection with the Lord God. While you are fasting, it’s good to remain silent at times, in order to let the Lord God speak to you. That inner thought that you hear talking in your mind is the spirit of the Lord talking to you. If that divine connection is pure, with good intention It is the spirit of the Lord. The spirit of the Lord will never tell someone to do harm, if you hear a voice inside your head telling you to do harm, rest assure that is not the spirit of God talking to you.
Coming Out of a Fast
After fasting, when you come out, you will feel totally transformed. Fasting gives you strength to continue to operate within the area of dominion that God has place for you. Therefore, many benefits to fasting. Some of the benefits of fasting is that Fasting is good for mental cleansing, and mental toughness. Fasting allows you to connect to your deeper self, and your inner thoughts. Fasting can help you to detox the body as you mainly drinks water during that period. Fasting will get rid of exceed junk that the body has been holding up. Please remember to not fast past the limit your body will allow you fast, only God, and you know will know how far you can go during a specific fasting period.
Let Us Pray
As I end this blog, I would like to end it with a quick prayer. “Lord father God, thank you for your goodness, thank you for creating the universe for us your children so that we can dwell in it, and to the kingdom of earth, exactly as it is in the kingdom of heaven. Father God protect us from the evil one, and lead us not into temptation. Father God, send your angels to prepare our way, so that our path can lead us to the vision that you have given us, and that we can have a clear divine path, go diffuse any mines the enemy has gone to prepare along the way for us to prevent us from reaching our divine vision destination. Help the ones that are lost father God to find your kingdom, so that they can come back home where they belong. Father give us the strength, and necessary equipment, and tools so that we can complete the divine vision that you have giving us. Help us Father God so we can continue to show love, even to those who never had much love in their lives. You said we are the light of the world, and we are the salt of the earth, help us so we can continue to let our light shine so that they may glorify our father in heaven.”. Amen.
As I end this blog I would like to end it, with peace, love, kindness, and gentleness, and success to everyone who are reading this blog! Stay tune to read my next blog post!
