On Day 14: Please know that the Holy Spirit is using your fast to reveal your true spiritual condition, resulting in brokenness, repentance, and a transformed life. God looks throughout the earth for those faithful few upon whom He can pour out His blessing in extraordinary ways. When you fast, you attract His attention as one willing to venture beyond the norms of religion and into the great adventure.
Sanctification is the process of becoming Holy in daily life; it is practicing purity and being set apart from the world and from sin. Sanctification is allowing the Holy Spirit to make us more like Jesus in what we do, in what we think, and in what we desire. Fasting is an essential means of sanctifying yourself, pulling yourself away from the world, and getting closer to God. Fasting allows you to filter your life and to set apart to seek the Lord. Fasting will help you identify areas of even hidden sins and things that are displeasing to God in your life. It helps you discern between serving the flesh and serving the spirit. (Heb. 9:13-14). If we are in Christ, His blood cleanses us from dead works, enabling us to serve God in holiness.
Fasting helps us distinguish between what we WANT and what we really NEED. When we choose not to worry about these things and to seek Him first, we are demonstrating the kind of faith that is pleasing to God, because we are trusting Him to also give us all the things that we need.
