Made it to day 4!

So day 2 was a rough day. I felt sick for most of the day and slept. I stayed home from work. In between naps, I spent time reading the Bible and just sitting quietly. No big revelations to report just peace.

Day 3 was the complete opposite. I woke up and went through the detox routine. I will spare everyone the details. I made it to work and had regular energy. After spending time last night with the Teenagers of our church, I was pretty much spent.

The lemon drink has been completely horrible to drink. I don’t think I have the mix right so tonight I am going back to reference the book. All and all I am down to 253. This has been an 11 lb weight lost in three days. I have a greater respect for anyone who has done this. Fasting is one aspect but the detox adds just a little more to the process.

Fasting is willing submission into our human weakness. I have begun to really feel this now. I am not talking so much about physical strength but I am being reminded of all the items that attract or pull for my attention especially food. Also, I seem to have a heighten aspect of conviction. I believe this is the beginning of more to come from the spiritual side of the process.

Matthew 9:14-17
Then John's disciples came and asked him, "How is it that we and the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?" Jesus answered, "How can the guests of the bridegroom mourn while he is with them? The time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast. "No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch will pull away from the garment, making the tear worse. Neither do men pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst, the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved."

So the Spirit and the Bride asks this day for the new wine to flow and we cry out come Lord Jesus come….

Have a good one….LETS GO CAPS
