Fasting 2

ok so for those of you who were interested...here is what i learned on my fasting experience....
I found myself twinge once or twice with hunger but it served mostly as a reminder to me to stop and pray for those women we were fasting for.... I cant honestly say I felt closer to GOD that day as a result of my fasting but I was able to focus on my prayer life in greater detail for one day....infact I felt like I should have gone for moe than a day as honestly there wasn't much to fasting for 24 hours.....at the end of it I honestly wasnt hungry until I finally ate something....My hope is that as a church our fasting doesnt go unanswered....time will tell. Ill keep you posted.

For those of you waiting to find out what fasting is...... Fasting is in its most BASIC lamens terms....a trade off.....you are going before GOD and saying lord...this part of my life needs attentionand as an effort to get more help from you in this area....I am going to 1 humble myself and ask for your help...2 i am going to give up the luxury and indulgance of food for this ammount of time as a sacrifice to you to show you how serious I am taking this and how much I would like to have and need you help with this....Its a sacrifice to the lord on your behalf....There is scripture upon scripture about how to do this and website upon website about how to and not to do this propperly....I urge you all to pick up a bible and get in the word....do some research and try it.....its actually something we as christians should be doing as a part of our walk so please look into it further for yourself and let me know how it works for you. Hope this helps someone.
