Consecration - 14 Days of Prayer & Fasting

DAY 18 OF 18

Where to from here? | Ps Tim Biasetto

Well done on making it through this Bible Reading Plan! We hope it has been a blessing to you.

You have taken the time to consecrate yourselves before God, to seek Him, to hunger and thirst after Him, now be ready to see all that the Lord WILL do!

I have found that it is often after periods of fasting, not during them that I come to really appreciate all that God has done for me, and in me, over that time. The sharpness, the intimacy with God, the sense of self-control over impulses and urges all combine to give me a spiritual strength that impacts my daily life.

Now that you have experienced the joy of fasting, I want to encourage you to make it a regular part of your life. Why not make a habit of it and factor it into your calendar weekly or monthly. With Horizon Conference coming up, you could fast one day per week to help you build faith and expectation for what God may do.

The discipline of fasting is a weapon you can utilise in your faith walk. Like Jesus who fasted in the lead up to a significant event, you can also engage in fasting to help you spiritually prepare for a big season, or an important moment where you want to be at your sharpest spiritually.

Whether you fulfilled your intentions for your fast, or just had a go and stumbled forward little by little I want to encourage you that you are loved by God, you are His child and He is proud of you. Enjoy your heightened awareness of His presence as you go about your day!

Prayer Focus:

  • Spend time in worship, focusing your attention on Jesus.
  • Take time to reflect on the last 14 days, and thank God for all He has done in and through you.
  • Ask the Holy Spirit to show you how He would like you to continue this spiritual practice of fasting.
