Day - 3 WE CAN"T FORGET ABOUT LOVE!
So I'm reading all these books and things.. the point of the church is this..it's that..it's worship. yes.. okay..
but, the thing that was said today that I found to be Profound and KEY...
WE musn't ever forget about LOVE... The whole point, is LOVE..
JESUS = LOVE
Going Hard after God's Heart leads you to LOVE... (period)
I have to be careful not to just accept everything i read or hear... if it doesn't pass the Love filter, it's missing something..

WHY NOT...?
I'm fasting...immediately. No planning for this one. The Lord just told me yesterday to STOP EATING. SO I'm doing two weeks juice/water. And I invite you too also. I started yesterday. The thing I really like about posting these fasts is I'm held accountable by telling you guys that I'm fasting.
Since Starving for Jesus things have drastically changed in my life. I'm persuing a new path in ministry, I left the church I was at, I may be living in a new state or country in the next few months, I had the most intense spiritual experience of my life while in Alabama this summer! God broke bondages so deep, I could barely take it. Everything God said He would do during the fast, He did, in amazing and powerful ways! I feel like I'm at a new place following Jesus...And its amazing. The stakes are higher now, faith is needed at a new level, and the warfare more intense...but it is sooooo good to progress.
Things have not all been easy. I've seen the sickness of my earthly state. Sins I never paid attention to, have come to the surface, and old temptations are still daily being presented. I've struggled, I've fallen, I've forgotten...However this time, I just went ahead and got back up. Instead of letting my sin consume me, I let the Blood continual wash me, so I can fight another day. The Prescence of the Lord is to good to not be in.
This discipline of fasting is so helpful in following Jesus. I always wondered why my flesh got the best of me, and temptation seemed unbareable. But now I see that one must Crucify the Flesh Daily. Actively kill it. And starving the flesh through fasting is one of the most powerful ways to regain control.
