It is currently 10:35pm on January 25th...this may not be significant to you BUT in 1 hour and 25 mins my fast ends. I have fasted for 21 days and can say with full confidence that it has changed my life and my walk with Christ forever!
21 days ago I started this journey and was at one of the lowest places I have ever been in my life. I was battling depression and it was winning. So in the midst of my depression I went to church and that's when I was challenged to a fast. Never one to back down from a challenge I decided that I would do the fast. Its called the Daniel fast, which means I couldn't eat meat, dairy, deep fried foods, or anything with white flour in it.
During the fast I met some of the worst spiritual attack I have ever encountered but I accepted it because Satan only attacks when you are getting closer to the Lord. I began having two quiet times a day- so that Jesus is the first person I talk to in the morning and the last person I talk to before I fall asleep. I continued the fast through the attacks and made it to the other side.
My relationship with Christ is so much stronger now. I feel like I know Him better but I know that this growth will not end with the end of my fast. I recommend fasting for anyone who is struggling. I now recognize my struggles as Satan's attack and I know that if Satan feels as strong as he does then the strength of God is a million trillion times stronger.
Remember that in our weakness he is strong!
