Fasting

I am going to enter a three month season of prayer and fasting. I really want to see my intimacy with Jesus and Father deepen and I want to walk in a level of Holy Spirit power that sees greater works.

I am still praying about what forms the fast will take but I am excited about the next few months!

Joff and Elaine Day have helped me see that I do not need to earn, nor indeed can I ever hope to achieve, the approval of God, it is already there. I do not need to qualify myself in to getting Him to bless me. This fast is more about pursuing Him, seeking Him and training myself to rely more on Him. I don't need to do this but I want to. There is a real sense that I must train myself and learn myself what it is to see what the father is doing and rely on Him to do that myself.

Martin Scott says that if Jesus had ever written a book it would only have said "I only do what I see the Father do". If we are to do this then we must learn to see what he is doing!

He must increase and I must decrease!
