Fasting releases angels into the battle zone
Fasting comes from the bible, Daniel, who was confused about what was happening to him and the decisions he needed to make, prayed and fasted to hear God's voice.
Sometimes we need to block out everything in our lives to just focus on hearing God's voice. Sometimes we need to be quiet and listen...
Fasting is denying yourself, it's letting go of your strength to gain his.
See I've learned that not everybody going to believe in your journey, not everyone is going to understand your walk with God, yet you need to hold on, you need to hang onto your faith.
God has already spoken into your life, he has already blessed you, he has set things in motion on your behalf and there are all kinds of things against you, because they knowing what is coming.
Daniel saw a relatalion, he saw this war coming, so he mourned and fasted for 21 days.
Sometimes you don't know how to get out of a situation and praying and fasting clears all that. In order to hear from God you need to sacrifice yourself.
So what did Daniel get out of this fast?
1-He got a visit from God
2-He saw things others couldn't see
3-He no longer depended on his own strenght
One night an angel came to Daniel and said "Don't be afraid, since the first day you set your mind on gain and you humbled yourself before God, your words were heard and I have come in response to them
But the prince of Persian kingdom resisted me for 21 days, I had to call Micheal, one of the chief princes to help me because I was detained there"
(See God heard your prayers but sometimes they are delayed, sometimes angels are fighting on your behalf to get to you.)
The angel said "Don't be afraid, you who are highly esteemed peace, be strong now, be strong"
Then Daniel said "When he spoke to me I was strengthen and said speak my Lord, since you have given me strength"
See there is a battle going on, on your behalf, things are coming even if you can't see it. You can't imagine how it will happen, this dream seems too big, it couldn't possibly happen. This is where your faith steps in, it tells you to believe even when everything and everyone is telling you to give up.
The part I love the most in this story is when the the angel said "Be strong...don't let nothing move you, you have peace"
You need to hold on...be strong, feel the peace in the mist of your weakness, for what is about to come in your life, you will need this strength, you need to be able to hold on to it.
Fasting takes your strenght away from you and makes you depended on God.
Don't worry about what others think and say about you, you know where your strenght comes from it, you know what your faith does in your life, you have seen the miracles God can and will do.
I no longer stress, yes I've lost my job...yes, my car broke...yes, I am having issues with my daughter... yes, life is coming at me fast and hard but I sit here, I fast, I pray and I give my strength to him, I give my life to God as he is my strength and he has way bigger dreams than I could ever have for myself.
So today my friends remember you need to give up on your notions of how to "fix" things, on how it looks or seems impossible, you need to be quiet and hear God's voice....be at peace...be strong...God's got this.
"Be the change you want to see"
"And just when the caterpillar thought his life over...he turned into a beautiful butterfly"
