Day 16: More

Day 16 is short and sweet :) I believe we have specific needs and desires of our own when seeking God during a fast, however I also believe that as we continue on a prolonged fast, the true cry of our heart becomes, "More of You, God, and less of me." When you put Him first, all else is added.
According to God's principle of 'first things', what you put first will order the rest. When you put your spirit first, you serve the things of the Holy Spirit rather than the desires of the flesh. As a result, your mind, will, emotions, as well as your physical body and health will fall in line according to the Spirit's leading. "For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live" (Rom. 8:13).
When we fast, we are effectively going on a hunger strike against hell to say, "Loose those who are bound by deception, lies, alcohol, drugs, pornography, false religion, etc!"
Amen... Hallelujah... Praise the Lord.
From My House to Yours,
Stay Hungry!
