Are You Hungry?!?

Yet even now, says Jehovah, turn to Me with all your heart, and with fasting ... Joel 2:12

Jesus said "When you fast ... " That implies that once he had ascended into Heaven, he expected us to fast.

Ezra 8:21 says, "I called a fast ... So that we might humble ourselves before God in order to seek him in a right way for us and our children."

We MUST seek God for a direction ... The world has lost it's way and we are the ones to give them direction, so we must have one!

With all of these things in mind, I have called a fast here at Full Gospel. We must humble ourselves before God and try to get his attention! I have started a fast commonly referred to as the Danial Fast. Danial would not eat the kings meat, so with this fast you avoid all rich, processed, fatty, and sweet foods. The Greatest challenge for me has been no caffeine, and I am a coffee junkie in the worst way.

It is a 3 week fast, and I started on Sunday with a 24 hour liquid only fast, and all of those being natural liquids. Pure fruit juices and water. By Monday afternoon, I felt like the top of my head was being forcibly removed from the rest of my body. Not a pleasant experience!!! Throughout the week I have had a variety of symptoms, everything from headaches to nausea to muscle soreness ... All of which are natural as your body goes through a literal detoxification!!!

I have to say that after a week I have lost a substantial amount of weight, and now that most of the adverse reaction have subsided, I feel GREAT!!! And we have tried some foods that we normally wouldn't have ... Stuffed tomatoes, Portebello Steaks, Vegetarian Chili, and Soy Milk just to name a few ... But, I am really enjoying the food. I just miss my coffee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know that God is doing things, we are already seeing results! God is good!!!
