Finally ... =]
Started my 40 days fast on 1st Sep, ended on 10 Oct! I MISS BREAKFAST! Firstly i would like to thank God for his utmost support and strength during this 40 days. I do not dare to even think of fasting 6am-6pm for 40 days without Him. In my mind i can imagine me having gastric pain and fainting without God, but with God, i have imagined this very day! The day when i end my fast, i would have alrdy told others wad God has done for me in this 40 days! This 40 days is not just about food, but of temptation from the devil, objections from family, and lifestyle.
I still remember the devil tempting me to eat, with such a "classic tone", saying, 'u have alrdy fasted so many days, today ur grandpa has cooked ur favourite dish! U shud reward urself!'. At first i was really tempted, but God pulled me back from the trap. He reminded me of His promise and the words from my mouth, that i was goin to fast 40 days.
Not only that, my family has kept objecting me from fasting. The first thing in the morning, would be asking me to eat! And den in the afternoon, it will be nag nag nag nag about the fasting. Den in the night it will be,"6 alrdy! Come eat!". I wonder how better will it be if they supported me haha. But with God, it's enuff! =]
Yea, my lifestyle has to be changed. I will be hungry in the morning and afternoon, so i cant do sports. I find myself trying to crawl out of bed in the morning, when last time i can wake up at 7am with no problem.
But all this is nothing compared to what God has blessed me with!
My faith and love for him has really grown. I can feel his presence, i can hear him, i find that i can understand His words thru the Holy Spirit. I find myself talking to people FOR God! And i feel that my prayers have been answered! I prayed for family's salvation, and my sis is coming to church and CG now, although she hasn't been saved, but she WILL be saved,SOON. I prayed for my friends, and one of my classmates is coming to CG and church too! I prayed for my cousin who hasn't been in touch with church and God for quite some time, and now he's back! I prayed for one of my friend who also din't go church for a long time, but she's touched again, and i know she will go back to church soon!
And our dear brother bryan will be ending his fast in another few more hours! 21 days full fast! Of course he was able to do it with his faith in God. I admire his faith to trust in the Lord that He will not ask him to do something that he will not be able to do. I believe that his prayers will be answered!
If you ask me whether i will fast again? OF COURSE.
I just wanna be humble,
and glorify God!
