I got saved in 1998, went to church, bible study, worship leader, fasting and prayer...for me, the Word and the true Heart of God came alive when I started my 12 step program. Our Lord Jesus is in every step and helps us take every step. He's Amazing!!

Recovering Addicts know something that the church seems oblivious to. Jesus does in us what we can't do for ourselves. He trumps our flesh. And this is actually the centre of the gospel, yet, we never hear about it practically. I remember the first time I fasted. It was a 3 day fast and I...

Well, I never thought I would find myself in a 12 step program. I've struggled with junk food for sooooo many years. I've prayed and fasted and tried to have more faith. I thought my problem was a lack of fruit -no self control. I wondered if I even had a problem with food or if my real...

I believe He called me to it. Isn't He a greater Physician than any earthly physician? I trusted I was hearing Him and so I trusted He knew best. And I was correct because He gave the ability to endure and, I was and continue to be great physically. Sorry for not being clear in my last post...

???? This thread was started because I was Giving God Glory and praise for enabling me to endure the fast. I believe He called me to it and He saw me through it.

About broadcasting... Ya, if you're fasting just to look good on the outside then Jesus' instructions are for you. Some people share because they want to encourage others. It's all about motive. Remember people in the NT knew John's disciples fasted and they knew Jesus' didn't. So this tells me...

No, nothing but water. I lost 40 lbs during the fast and they're all back :)

I love this definition of humility " Humility is simply a lowliness of mind. It is viewing our conclusions, ideas, doctrine, theology, and perspectives as being open to adjustment from the Lord. We have to recognize the things in our lives that we have not learned from God but instead learned...

not sure if this is against the rules... This book is brand new. Best book on fasting IMO. http://www.amazon.ca/Im-Hungry-Experience-Presence-ebook/dp/B00E1J9AO8

Welcome to CF!!

As a result of knowing Him more, acquiring new revelation, and repenting of sin, I think differently about everything (it seems). One of the major things was looking at the gospels in a new way. The religious experts were not actually experts. They knew the letter of the law but they knew...

When I notice the same trial streaming through Many different people I take note and wonder the same thing as you. Often it's prophetic and there's something to know that is from God. I don't have any answers about this specifically; just wanted pipe in and say I approach things the same way as...
