In my desire to get back into the closeness with the Holy Spirit I once had I joined this fast. And the peace that has come within this short space of time is truly one that passes all understanding. God is confirming who He Is to me all over again with His Word. IT IS ALIVE. Some things that I have written down about what I've read today:
Acts 5:41 - The disciples were so happy to be flogged! They were like "yes!" we have suffered for Christ's sake. To have that spirit.... Sometimes we find it so hard to endure things and these guys were truly counting it all joy...man, I love them.
Acts 8:7 - Tells me that I have to stop looking at people as people especially when they come against me. So many are possessed, and we don't even think about it like that these days. I had a vision for an artwork: satan holds a person from behind and hits the believer with the person's hands and he laughs when the believer hits the person back. But on the flip side, when satan does this, and the believer takes on the person of Christ and does not strike the person, I imagine spiritual blows being given to satan coming from within the believer, bypassing the person. (please excuse my imagination)
I had a revelation today, thanks to another one of those sermons by Mike Bickle posted by Josh Fast Weekly. He speaks about the point of fasting, which is to become weak, so that the Spirit will commune with you. I have been giving too much focus to making sure I don't feel too hungry or too weak and I realized after listening to this sermon that one of the times when I was weak I started praying aloud and I was in a trance with what was pouring out of me. So after hearing that, I had my juice with me, but I purposely only drank my water for the greater part of the day and I felt so much closer to what I had been missing!!! I truly crave The Holy Spirit of God. I am nothing nothing nothing without God.
