Open My Eyes: A 21-Day Fasting Devotional from Jentezen FranklinSýnishorn
Fasting Day 21: Seeing Your Purpose
Welcome to Day Twenty One of the 21-day Fast of this year. You made it! You did it and I’m so proud of you! I believe God is saying, “I’m well pleased and I’ve received your fast and I’ve received your prayers,” and God is opening your eyes to the wonderful things, to the mighty things. I pray you have experienced God’s presence in ways you will never forget. I pray that the Lord has opened your eyes to things you never saw before. I pray that you have been changed forever and that the ramifications of this 21 days will be felt all around the globe. Please email us or leave a response or fasting testimony by going to jentezenfranklin.org.
If You Can See It, You Can Be It. Get a Picture in Your Mind of Where You are Going.
As you finish your twenty-one day fast I want to challenge you to take a moment right where you are and think of one thing you would like to see the Lord do in the next thirty days. Now I want to ask you to take that something and get a picture in your mind of what it looks like if it were to happen. See it with as much detail and clarity as you possibly can.
Do you have enough faith to actually see what you need or are asking for? I believe opening the eyes of your mind to see what’s possible is a missing ingredient for far too many people doing their best to stand on faith and belief, but not daring to actually see it in their mind’s eye. If you truly desire that something in the Lord, paint that picture in your mind today – and watch to see the miracle that is possible when faith takes a picture and allows it to develop over time. You can’t get somewhere you can’t see. You won’t find acres of diamonds until you get a divinely-inspired image of what it might look like.
Prayer:
God, I thank You so much for getting me through the end of this fast. I praise You for the strength and willpower You have given me. I praise You for helping me overcome the hungers and aches, the temptations and trials. I ask You to help me continue to see the bigger picture for my future, to continue for me to believe in greater things to come. I thank You for everything.
About this Plan
What an incredible journey these twenty-one days will be as we fast, pray, and grow together. Fasting has a way of bringing every part of your life into focus in ways nothing else can do. If you will allow your moments of hunger and cravings to serve as reminders to stop and pray, you will find a closeness with your Heavenly Father like you have never known.
