Come and See what Love has Done!
Yesterday I fasted!!! I know, an ADD, formerly food-addicted girl fasted an entire day - and a day that lasted from 6am- late!!! God is so good!
It wasn't something I felt like I had to do, nor was I trying to get something from God. It was just an idea God put in my mind the previous evening, which was like this overflowing joy from Heaven!
See, since three weeks ago when I had a nightmare that was truly a spiritual terror - from evil - I have actually found new joy and freedom in God!
It shook me up so much I became more desperate than ever for God. And He is so good He provided me with friends to carry me through.
And it's all so important to share in this journal because it was truly an answer to the seeking prayer I began this journal with. The day after a major deliverance (2 days after the nightmare), I got to spend the whole day at home, and God just kept leading me to things and telling me to get rid of them - they were weighing me down. And it was so amazing because a few weeks prior, a woman praying for me at church said, 'she's carrying too much' about me. So pictures of old boyfriends and Hindu temples, my collection of purses, an indulgent lamp, all sorts of things were taken to Goodwill or thrown away. And God blessed me by showing how TV and movies were destoying me, and He got me to a place of such surrender that I could actually stop watching them - at all!
Can't you see what Love has done?!
And yesterday God just kept giving me strength - I'd hardly slept at all the night before because I was being attacked, but I said, 'even if I get no sleep, I still want to honor You with a fast' And He made it possible! I was tempted and He allowed C Em F G

Jesus comes beckoning to me
Enter the holy gates just as you are
No need for a happy face, just come with your heart
And Jesus will bring us a joyful melody
If only His calling we heed
We are His little ones, children of God
Children and fellow heirs of His kingdome come
And we share the greatest love the world has ever seen
Here in the Lord�s family
to resist! And I was given a postponement on some stuff at work, and strength to prepare and carry out a three hour training that day! Then after work at 10pm I was able to be there for a friend in time of need!
My faith was boosted - that was the true blessing. I was so exhausted that night and still couldn't sleep, I'm sure under attack because of my victory in the Spirit, but I was blessed to talk to my mom and she prayed for me and sang me to sleep at 3am!
God is faithful, even when we walk through the valley of the shadow of death. He is the Final Word!
