Unified CF Fast.

[J.A.I]

Would anyone here be interested in doing a unified fast for CF ?

Matthew 18:18-20 MKJV
18 Truly I say to you, Whatever you shall bind on earth shall occur, having been bound in Heaven; and whatever you shall loose on earth shall occur, having been loosed in Heaven.
19 Again I say to you that if two of you shall agree on earth as regarding anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them by My Father in Heaven.
20 For where two or three are gathered together in My name, there I am in their midst.

 

[praying]

For how long?

 

[J.A.I]

The details will come later... I just wanted to see if anyone was interested... because it's due season. CF needs prayer.

 

[Kelly]

Yes.

 

[kdet]

Yes, I would

 

[Oblio]

Wednesdays & Fridays are good for me.
Also, the month of June this year.

 

[BarbB]

Oblio, I can't do June but I'll do a day at a time. I'm new to fasting!

 

[ChrisB]

Count me in too

It doesn't count if you were going to do it anyways

 

[J.A.I]

A fast is a sacrifice. You don't fast on days that are 'good for you'.. It's a sacrifice.....

OT: I am starting a 40 Day television fast today, as I've been getting words from God that it's a big waste of my time and brings a fair amount of garbage into the home, even with us carefully reviewing what we will watch.

That is my point exactly, though I disagree with the sacrifice part

These are already days which are prescribed for fasting, not because I determined I want to fast then, or what I want to fast from, but because the Church, in Wisdom being led by the Holy Spirit has set aside these days for a fast.

Prepare to realise the lifting of a great burden from your soul
We cut out the idiot box for Lent a few years back and have never looked back since .

[Oblio]

But John, think of all the great reality shows you are missing

 

[Oblio]

On a serious note:

I've pretty much given up TV, much like John. If you have a chance to come back to watching it (fer instance if relatives are visiting) briefly, you will be amazed and shocked by what you see. Having the TV on constantly actually made me uneasy and jittery and several times I actually had to leave the room in disgust.

What sort of prayer? I've never really tried fasting before, except for flubbing one on Good Friday...

 

[Kelly]

Take a look at this, there are lots of resources on the web. This one has bib. references.

The most I've fasted is 3 days and I haven't done it often.

 

[Ceris]

Yeah, I'd be interested.

 

[LynneClomina]

i'd be interested too.

 

[Victorian Rose]

Sure I'll do it.
