Fasting and Prayer
I have had a walk with the Lord trying to figure out how I can start fasting. I use a lot of time in intercession and I have known that a key to breakthrough is in fasting, but even so I have found it hard to make the decision to fast.
I have searched in the bible and on the internet about fasting and for my sake the focus on food in a Daniel fast would be too huge. After starting to read the book, The Jesus Fast by Lou Engle, I felt I got an extra boost on my journey towards fasting for revival to brake out, people come to Faith in Jesus, my life and family change according to God's purpose.
​
Living a life as a mom and needing to have energy to handle the daily life I figured out that a fasting going from dinner one day and until dinner next day I could handle. If I do this every week that would be at least 50 days of fasting through the year, and I am longing to see a breakthrough in my family, ministry, community, country and world. The Bible says that there are some spiritual matter that only respond to prayer AND fasting. So after repeatedly confirmation from the Lord that I need to start fasting I finally decided to do so.
​
Then came the thought that it would be so much more power to prayer if I could get more people to stand with me in fasting and prayer on Mondays, so I call for this and hope many can join me. I hope to be an inspiration for people to explore fasting with God and embark on their own journey.
​
I recommend to take a complete food fast and drink water from Sunday evening until at least dinner time on Mondays. To understand my thought on this read my blog post. If this is hard to stay on water fast one can try to keep to vegetables, fruits and water. This way all can fast, even though you're stay at home mom with kids.

Again I say unto you,
That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask,
it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
Mathew 18:19
