Australia Day! Another glorious day at the Gold Coast. Went to the early morning prayer meeting this morning for a time of passionate praying with others and then off to the beach to hang out with some friends for the morning.
I have been thrilled and inspired by the amount of people that have taken up the fasting challenge over these 14 days. In fact some are actually going to go longer. The testimonies that I am hearing of tension in marriages as people try and get their lives centered back around Christ, physical "kick back" as bodies are told that they are going without and spiritual darkness nervously trying to see this season out so hopefully we will return to "normal". One thing I am sure of and that's no one and I mean no one is worse of for doing this fast, we all benefit.
This what Isaiah 58 says about fasting.
11 The LORD will guide you continually,
And satisfy your soul in drought,
And strengthen your bones;
You shall be like a watered garden,
And like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.
12 Those from among you
Shall build the old waste places;
You shall raise up the foundations of many generations;
And you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach,
The Restorer of Streets to Dwell In.
Raising up the foundation of many generations means that what dysfunction we have can be broken off our lives so that the future generations don't have to walk in it. Remember "What walks in the father runs in the family". This fast you are making decisions that will impact generations, Well Done!
