My Fasting and Prayer on Easter in Guatemala
The more I live, the more my life blows me away. More importantly, the more God blows me away. If you would have told me three, five, or ten years ago, I would be fasting and praying, I would not have believed you. As if the fasting and praying isn't enough to leave me in awe, the fact that my last fast and dedicated time for prayer for you and our world would be on Easter in Guatemala astounds me.
My transformation from the inside out includes a walk of Fear to Faith, Devaluing to Purity, Self Hate to Love, Corporate to Calling, Lies to Love, Pain to Purpose, and Bondage to Freedom. No area of my life is untouched with transformation in my health, wealth, business and travel.
As I grew in my relationship with God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, there came pivotal points in each area of my life that called for an increase in obedience and sacrifice. My first fast was the Daniel Fast in 2010. In 2013-2014, when I realized transformation is required to create a life and business you love, I transformed my eating and lifestyle losing over 55 lbs. and keeping it off.
While I started regularly doing Bible studies, I wasn't led to a fast again until 2019. I went away to a cabin in Madison, Georgia and fasted and prayed with water, coffee, and tea for 2+ days.
In 2019-2020, I felt drawn to read the Bible straight through the first and second time. One of the outcomes of reading the Bible faithfully included feeling compelled to regularly integrate fasting into my life.
Astoundingly, I started to feel and see breakthroughs and victory in areas that I struggled with for years convincing me further on a practical level of the power of prayer and fasting.
Jesus said to them, “This sort cannot come out by anything except by fasting and by prayer.”
Starting in 2020, I started dedicating three days of fasting and prayer every three months and/or as I feel led. I have found each and every fast being different entirely. I pray in advance for the fast, ask for prayers, seek divine direction, and am open as the fast develops.
Like all my prior fasts, my fasting and prayer on Easter in Guatemala resulted in it's own experience.
I believe fasting and prayer has the power to break off darkness and unleash heaven on earth.
