Verhoeven Family I have come to another crossroads. I feel that I am to fast regularly. Is this possible for one who absolutely loves to eat? Sure it is. I can see the Lord's hand working hard at my heart. I have completed 2 19-24 hour fasts and have come to find out that I am very weak. THis morning I read about fasting in a book I have. It said that when you fast your sin is very obvious. WOW! THis is the truth. I have much anger, pride, frustaration and lazuness in my life that needs to be rid of. I am praying that my heart will be turned in to a heart of flesh. I am so tired of being full of desires for worldly things. I want what God has for me and my family. How can I know this unless I spend time face to face with my Lord. The Lord keep confirming my desires to fast in books, and what I hear. My heart rejoices at the thought of a fast and my flesh is kicking and screaming. I must die to myself and live for Christ. Praise the Lord!
