21 Days
As I prepare myself for a 21 day of fast this Sunday evening I just want to look into the 40 days and 40 nights that Jesus fasting. Matthew 4:2 says that "after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry." I'm sure many of us after one day we become hungry. David says in Psalm 109:24, "My knees give away from fasting, my body is thin and gaunt. So why fast if we might feel like we are going to be hungry perhaps starving, and might grow weak? Isaiah quotes in Isaiah 58:6 "Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the chords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke?" "Even now," declares the Lord, "return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning." - Joel 2:12 verse 13 tells us "resend your heart and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity." Therefore when we fast we break chains in our lives, we receive breakthroughs in our marriages (to those that are married), in our finances, our walk with Christ, with our families, and with friends. I pray that during this time of fasting we may grow in the Lord and in our personal walk with Christ.
