To be IMMERSED in God’s presence, in His all consuming being, completely surrounding me and not being aware of anything else but Him…that is where I want to be.
I want to be turned “inside out.” Our person is made up of 3 parts-Spirit (the part that communes with the Lord), Soul (our mind, will & emotions), Flesh (our body). Often we live “in” our flesh, directed by our souls (thoughts, desires & will). Fasting turns that “inside out” and we choose to allow our spirit to be more closely in tune with God’s Holy Spirit & choose to live “in” the spirit, allowing His Spirit to guide us.
This last year has been intense-just can’t seem to breakthrough. My motivation for committing this time to fasting, praying and wholeheartedly seeking the Lord is not simply to see change in these 3 areas of my life, but to breakthrough to a new level in my relationship with the Lord. I want more of Him. I need more of Him. I desire to intimately know what is on His heart about my life, about my family’s life and my wrong ways of thinking -as much as He is willing to reveal.
Jeremiah 29: 12-14 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,” declares the Lord…
More than anything, seeking His kingdom first is of the utmost priority, and then all the other things will fall into place as they should, while all the time I’m getting out of the way of the One who knows how to orchestrate our lives within His purposes better than I do.
