Today is the first day of our 21 day fast for the Lord. We are setting ourselves apart for a time of focused prayer and fasting to the Lord. I have read that this can be considered a kind of first fruits offering, giving the first part of the year to Jesus our high priest. I would suggest that we begin our offering in the morning take the time you would spend having your morning coffee and eating breakfast and spend it in prayer, worship, and reading the word of God. Here are some practical tips
*Pray and meditate on God's word
*Drink lots of water (at least 8 glasses a day)
*Headaches are normal as are cravings for food, caffeine and sugar. Take an aspirin to relieve your distress if necessary
* Spend time listening to praise and worship music.
I would suggest that you write in a journal. Write the things that you desire form God from your fast, the things that the Holy spirit leads you to pray for, and any thought or impression you receive in prayer or studying the word.
The most important thing we can pray for are lost souls pray for them I would suggest that you make a "top ten list" of people for the Holy Spirit to draw into a right relationship with God
during your fast, and pray for them often at least daily.
May God bless you may the Holy Spirit increase in you and may you have a closer communion with the father is my pray for you all.
In His Service
