Call For Fasting 3

Hello every one as we start this fast I felt lead to share some verses on fasting.

Matthew 6: 16-18 And when you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, that your fasting may not be seen by others but by your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

Isiah 58:6 “Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke?

Be strong during this fast, the enemy knows how powerful fasting is and will try to stop you by putting thoughts in your head of reasons to stop. Surround yourself in Gods presents with music and reading His word. Speak to God continuously He will answer. There is so much power in fasting it will change you God will give you an encounter with Him. Seek His answers and be sure you pray for others not just your self.

Job 42:10 - And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.

It has been a year today since my wife left me and quickly went into the arms of someone in called best friend. And its been amazing what God has done in my life and I am excited to see what else He is going to do. Keep faith and keep standing because I feel things are right around the corner don't fall into temptation be strong and resist the devil. Our spouses are on their way home they just don't know it yet

Amen to that Scott! And thank you for the songs. Looks like your starting to rack up some cool points too ;-)

God is truly amazing for carrying us through this hard time. He has truly been providing for me this whole time. He has become my Friend and my Spouse this season. I look to Him for everything, especially peace and comfort. My husband has become distant again. I spoke to him today but his voice was hard toward me. But i thank God for the back and forthness (not a word i know but it fits here lol) because it shows that something is happening inside of him. I know that one day God will bring him back for good, and your spouses as well. We serve a mighty God and have a wonderful Savior. We WILL see God's glory in our lives, our spouses' lives and our marriages. I am honored to be in this storm with Them. They want me to be closer to Them. They want me to be stronger. I embrace this time of tribulation, as painful as it is. I know that with Them by my side i will be made a conqueror....so will all of you...

Mine has been distant from the start and moving further away.

The 4 horseman of the apocalypse now have a riding companion. (just had to say that alli, after the movie quote you made. Was watching a black and white Cary Grant movie the other day and I rolled after he made that comment about his GF)



Heard this song for the first time today on the radio and thought WOW! word for word she has really nailed it with me so just had to share.

 

[allibear86]

LOL! OMG!! I love Cary Grant. One of the best actors of all time...even in death.

Oh yeah i downloaded that song last year. LOVE IT!! (more cool points....and even more for Cary Grant!!)

I am thankful to visit this board and be renewed by all the hope & energy God has graced everyone with.



I haven't been online in a few days, because my weekend got hectic and I've encountered some more frustrating situations. I think the enemy is trying to bring me down, and I have such a burdened heart & heavy spirit... Yet, I keep taking on more weight. God won't give us more than we can handle, but my endurance is really being challenged.



This morning, I got a call from the vet that they wanted to bill me close to $600 for one of my dogs. He is due for vaccines plus he has a gum infection & tooth that needs to be pulled. As much as I love the little guy, I can't afford that right now. My financial situation gets intimidating with each passing day. It hasn't been easy supporting myself without my husband's income to help provide, plus I'm in grad school and have to pay for tuition. Add to that the lingering credit/financial issues that came about from my husband leaving & not being able to make any decisions/action/closure to any of those problems.



Then, tonight I was in a 3-car accident that I caused. I think I fell asleep at the wheel while at a stop and must have taken my foot off the brake - long enough to hit the car in front of me and cause a chain reaction. I've just been so exhausted, and stressed out. My mind & body aren't functioning very well these days. I am so thankful that no one was hurt badly (I hit my head and nose on the steering wheel and have bad whiplash), and the damage to the vehicles is minimal. Still, I'm frazzled from all of it & disappointed that it's just another thing on my plate.



I'm starting to get numb... Numb is better than angry, I suppose. It feels like I'm slipping downhill more & more.

Crying out to God in all of this. Being thankful that things could be worse. Praying for understanding & mercy. Praying he picks me up and helps me up the mountain to the other side soon.



My neck is sore and my head is spinning/throbbing, so I'm gonna head to bed. I just wanted to stop in, so you guys didn't think I disappeared or fell off the planet lol.

Good night everyone, and God bless you all.

P.S. Allibear: It sounds like your husband is experiencing a "false start" home and strong conviction of his sins. His hardened heart and unpredictable hot/cold behavior are apparent that the spiritual battle is getting fierce. It's said that these are signs that his heart of stone is turning. It will become a heart of flesh, and he will be coming home soon. I just know a breakthrough around the corner for you guys

 

[allibear86]

Mariposa I am so sorry. But I am glad your ok. Satan is trying to throw these things at you to make you stop standing and believing in God. God wont let you fail. He is right there. Keep crying out to Him. He will provide for you. Keep praising Him even through this storm. I am praying for you. God will turn all this around. He does not want you to struggle.

And thank you so much for your words of encouragement. Things will turn around for all of us. Your situation WILL get better. Satan is defeated. God has already won this battle for us all. Tell Satan to his face that him throwing all this crap in your face WILL NOT make you give up. He is starting to get desperate now. Lets all keep standing strong and keep praying for each other and each others' spouses. Lets give satan the fight of his miserable little life...
