Day-1 of the 40 days Journey

To day Morning i was really exited to begin the journey of 40 days fasting and prayer.
I woke up at 5:30 am to go to AG church, the gathering was basically for young people.
There were about 100 young men and women came to be part of this journey
Scotty was leading worship - I like the last song very much - Our God is an awesome God He reigns.
Pastor Younus led the morning devotion by starting from Ps 34:8, Taste and see that the LORD is good; 
I fancy the idea of Testing Good God as strawberry mocha. Pastor Younus spoke about why no 40 is ideal number for fasting by mentioning examples of  Jesus, Elijah, Noah, Jonah... 


He said God will not use dirty vessel, but He'll clean and sanctify. 2chr 7:14


Here are the 10 things he spoke about what fasting and prayer will do for us


1 - It's a way we give ourselves as living sacrifice. Rom 12:1.  when we fast our body is constantly worshiping God.
2-  It brings us to our first love with Jesus. If we had used to much and if we side tracked for a while it brings us back.
3-  It causes our relationship with Jesus to go deeper.
4-  Hanger in flesh is hunger in spirit 
5-  It keeps us sensitive to the spirit 
6-  It prepares us to new anointing 
7-  It helps to overcome sexual addictions and demonic power. Every bad habit has demon behind it.
8-  It prepares us to the new things God is going to do. Is 34:18
9-  It keeps us in main stream of God. We'll keep thinking of him. it makes us conscience when we do things we say i'm fasting i don't do this or i ought to do that....
10- It is hunger strike against HELL. by boycotting the power of hell we'll flourish in God's kingdom.


I'm not doing this as an Christian tradition. But in my life honestly I'm waiting the move of GOD. His miracle. To be used by Him. I'm exited about the Fasting and Prayer Journey that i started to day.
The day will be NO FOOD DAY till evening. In middle i can take liquids to rehydrate myself.


God Thank You for your awesomeness.
