Happy Sabbath ,
This week has been so enlightening. The Inner Circle group is doing our bi-annual Fasting Challenge. Each person who was ready for a breakthrough choose the best fast for
them.
The options were: 7 Day Veggie Cleanse, Daniel Fast, or the Therapeutic Fast.
Everyone had specific reasons for the one they choose. Some even choose water fast. To help everyone walk through the steps of fasting, extra coaching calls were added to make sure everyone knew what to expect and how to get their plans ready.
Well, the results are coming in. Actually, just the planning was times of sharing how God was already at work, it was
heart opening.
It is so amazing how the discipline of fasting is the 'reboot' similar to your computer.
When I struggle to get my computer to work, I ask my tech savvy husband, only to be told - "did you reboot it?"
Let me ask you - have you done a reboot lately?
What about a spiritual reboot?
Or a physical reboot?
Fasting combines both.
Sometimes, let’s be real—life can leave us where our prayer lives feeling dry, mental health
struggling, and physical health needing a reboot. If you see YOU in some or all of that list, know this.... you’re not alone in that.
And with all the shifts happening in our food system, it’s becoming crystal clear what we eat affects everything.
So, are you ready for a serious breakthrough?
I just mentioned the options we offered in the Inner Circle, and the best place for you to start is in the Word. There are over 9 biblical leaders who went to fasting when they needed a breakthrough spiritually or physically.
Just Google fasting in the Word and many of these verses will surface.
Yet, when I studied fasting I am a deep dive person. I just don't want the what - I want the why, when,
however, therefore, and more.
Because I teach Fasting in the Treasures Bible Study and we bring it front and center in the Inner Circle, my
deep dive teaching was all collected into an amazing course: Fasting for Spiritual and Physical Freedom.
"This breakthrough was the first in my life, I had thoughts surfacing that I was ready for, since Annette taught us to be armed and ready. When they did, I was
shocked to see what was coming from my mind, and I was ready to break free from who I thought I was and now who I am today in Christ. That lie is gone!"
" I am ready to fast at any time and place, now that I have been trained on fasting."
"Cannot believe I never fasted before, and after getting over the initial fear, it was more than I could have ever expected."
"God has come through loud and clear even though a whisper during this fast. Because Annette
said to take time to hear and her key word "relax' I was able to learn more through the Word than ever before"
"The pain is gone!"
Do you see how these tastimonies really touch my heart!
So - are you ready for a break through?
Do you fear fasting?
Do you believe fasting is only for the 'spiritual leaders'?
Since we don't open Inner Circle till late June, then I suggest going through this course. This course is
the best collection of teaching ever put together on fasting. Every time I go back into this course and read it for myself, I know God is there.
This course will help you study the Bible about the 9 different heroes of faith that fasted and how God answered.
Also includes:
- Fasting for Spiritual and Physical Breakthroughs
- The Science of Fasting
- The Biblical teachings: 9 different fast for 9 different circumstances
- Journaling your
fast
- Recipes
- Therapeutic Fasting - this is what I do at least once a year as a preventive measure.
- Intermittent, OMAD - when and why
As much as I love this course, and I intend to study through it again, I love reminding myself of God's purpose of fasting. It is to see Him more.
Going Without to Gain Within
If the timing is not now for you to study through this course, then just
pray about fasting. I have numerous videos on fasting on YouTube to help you.
The Daniel Fast was how my husband and I started the flip in our diet to change from lab experiment foods to God's foods.
The results were eye-opening for both of us.
You can also study fasting in the Treasures of Healthy Living Bible Study.
What I once was told about fasting- 'that is not for us today'. I now know - 'it is for me today!'
As I told the Inner circle group - my goal and desire is to help you go through your first fast, so you can learn how to fast, why to fast, and when to fast. I wanted to be there for them so they could ask questions and get answers.
Then, when times are uncertain and a simple 'reboot' does not work, you will have the tools and knowhow of fasting.
The rewards are a list
unending.
We can go without to gain within.
Remember - just as we are physical we are spiritual...just as we are spiritual we are physical....and we need both to thrive to truly live a full life. 🏵
Fasting is an opportunity to honor God with your body, renew your mind, and align your spirit with His purpose. As you embark on this journey, know that we’re praying for you and celebrating the incredible work
God is doing in your life.
Are you ready to for a breakthrough?
