Hello everyone,
I seek to get closer to GOD each day. I know when I am on the right path through HIM and the situations that are around me that try to test my faith. They are distractions that could happen like a glass that falls to the floor that someone drops, and you turn around to see what was that. Just that quick you turn away from what you were and should be doing.
There are times when you feel the urged by our loving and compassionate FATHER GOD to do something. And I tell you that you cannot miss that feeling when it happens. It can be loud and clear but in soft tones. The more you study the word the more you get closer to GOD. And the more the enemy does not like it.
I tell you those distractions can come from the people you love and they are unaware of what is happening. But if they get distracted, and need your help, then you both are distracted too. Next is to get back on track and to focus as soon as possible to hear what our beloved GOD is trying to tell you while you were distracted.
The enemy of GOD is perpetually being annoying to all humans. And those who don’t want anything to do with GOD, are the ones who are used aa the disciples for the enemy. When you are saved, and have accepted JESUS as your LORD and savior, you stand out like a bright light. You will have people who will even have their back turned away from you while talking to someone else then turn around suddenly, and give you a snarled look.
Praying to our GOD is comforting. Peaceful. Joyful. Loving. Like a good earthly dad that when you go running and crying to him for comfort when you have been hurt. Your dad will see what was wrong and aim to fix it for his child.
When I have Bible study with a friend, we both told of our distractions we were going through before we were going to meet each other. The enemy tried to stop us from being with each other to give our FATHER GOD praise and worship. She was going through something that had her think to call me and cancel. But did not and so was I too.
We both wanted to study a topic that would enable us to read into the word even more. We agreed on fasting.
Matthew 6:16-18 KJV
16 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
17 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;
18 That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.
There is a clean feeling and a better insight and communication when fasting. It will allow you to feel spiritually, mentally and physically better too. We need all of that as we live in this fallen world. We all need to be able to do and say what is right when we are talking to the people of this world be it the ones who are saved or not. This fasting will enable us to be better disciples for JESUS.
When you do fast, stay in prayer. Keep reading the word of GOD. This type of Fasting is something that only should be done to increase your faith and to be closer to GOD, praying for healing and guidance. not for losing weight.
Peace and blessings.
