I just finished a 7-day water-only fast led by @PhilipAMitchell, Pastor of @2819Church.

This was my very first time fasting for this long with only water and no food. Throughout the week, I spent a lot of time in prayer and seeking God. The experience was challenging, yet deeply transformative. Each day I wrote down the revelations I received during this time. I believe many can be applicable to everyone regardless of your religious background.

Here they are below 👇🏿 

CONSECRATION 25 | Fast. Pray. Seek The Lord.

Revelations to Self:
Day 1:
- Don’t allow your own ambitions to become an idol.
- You are madly in love with your spouse.
- Fast and believe in it's power as if your loved ones future depended on it.

Day 2:
- Humble yourself before God.
- Fasting tests and strengthens the Fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

Day 3:
- When things feel hard, fixate your focus on God.

Day 4:
- Fasting helps turn the impossible into the possible.
- God is in control.

Day 5:
- This is your season of growth.
- Ask the Lord to transform your heart. Pray for the heart of Christ.
- Fasting mirrors the Christian walk: it’s difficult at first, many give up, but endurance brings blessings and growth.

Day 6:
- God will always fulfill His promises.
- Seek continual growth in Christ-likeness; don’t become complacent.
- Only correct others when the Lord instructs. Correction is serious and requires His authority.

Day 7:
- Let the Gospel be the motivation for everything.

If you’ve never tried fasting, I highly encourage you to consider it at some point in your life. For me, it was absolutely transformative, and I believe it could be for you as well.

Have a blessed day!
