Want to fast, to see what it's like? Not motivated enough to stay committed? Ever had the urge to fast? Want to do it for spiritual reasons? Don't want to do it for ego reasons? I am writing this to tell you that fasting is good for the soul and should be taken seriously. What is the mind set of Christians looking to fast but are procrastinating? I think there is too much negative words going around about fasting. This world is filled with too many people who just eat and eat without caring about how their body looks. We may say that we are on a diet, but keeping our commitment to eating less is very difficult! The best thing to do is to make a goal to lose a certain amount of weight and do whatever it takes to achieve the goal. That's it! It's keeping our commitments, even we we are under distress, that matters most. Distress is a state of danger or great difficulty. The end result of successful fasting is that you become a skinny person. Skinny is sexy, if you like it or not. I think there are too many people out there who don't want other's to think they are fasting to look skinny. The real reason why we fast is to please our God. One way we please our God is when we please other people about our appearance. Being sexy to other people because you are skinny will happen. If you don't like the sexy opinion about your body, then the best thing to do is to minimize your sex appeal those of the opposite sex. We do this by covering up our bodies and wearing slightly baggy clothes. Avoiding fasting because one has a fear of sexiness is lack of courage. We must accept the sexiness that comes as a result of fasting. We must form our behaviour, with love and understanding. My Test to You, Right Now: Stop eating! Tell the person who makes your meals that you are fasting because you know having a big stomach is not healthy. Tell them you'd like to prove to others that you have the discipline to avoid satisfying your taste buds. If you make your meals, tell this to yourself. Then fast for however you'd like. Do not fast for more than 30 days, because, supposedly this is not healthy. Let's say you took the above test. Now, you are skinny, right? Keep your weight off and see how your spirit with other people changes. Are they more friendly towards you? Do you like your body more? Are you getting the spirit of enlightenment because you feel an anointing? Don't wait another minute and commit to fasting now, for the sake of the holy spirit. |
