NOTES:

The world is broken. People all around you are suffering and dying. Not just physically, spiritually. You as I, have probably suffered some trauma the last year or so but more likely 20 years ago. Somebody in here is holding onto something that fruitless but you won’t let go. Tonight is a good time to heal from that.

My dad was a slug. I hated him. Then I fasted and God said forgive him. Because my flesh was weak, 11 days into a fast, I spent the last three months with him without judgement. I was diagnosed with Menderes disease, healed after fasting. There is nothing more powerful, but our educated brain wants to say oh that’s too simpley

To fill the gap in pain, world creates static by keeping us busy, emails, Facebook, work, news, eating food, extending ourselves beyond our capability.

—write down one thing that limits you, that creates static. I need less of that.

It creates a tiny bandaid on our lives, covers up some imperfection, takes away from our purpose. Alcohol does this too. Sugar does. Calling your sister to complain about the same thing or to gossip does the same thing. Constantly having the radio on, avoiding the quiet, does the same thing. Acting like nothing is wrong when you’re destroyed on the inside.

It’s hard to believe that

But you will never find yourself until you lose yourself, sometimes your heart needs to be broken to understand your smallness and gods bigness.

I believe that anything great that you do will be outside of your comfort zone and in faithfulness.

Certainty is the opposite of faith.

Your uncertainty should lead you to the answer that you are not the answer and do not have all the answers.

God is not a genie, but he has every answer you’ll ever need.

You can't just stay at the surface and expect God to move, not if you want to see big changes in your life.

I believe that a lot of what we deal with is a heart issue. a hurt issue. a hurt that isolating yourself from your holy father only creates more hurt.

Maybe it isn’t hurt, its confusion, you don’t know why you do what you do and sometimes even what the heck are you doing and supposed to be doing

What are u going to lose this year and replace with something good?

Who are you? - a small description

whose are you? - a small description

What breaks your heart? - what would you change if you knew you had no barriers

What is fasting?

Removing something that is not as important for something more important.

Facebook, Twitter, TV, email, food, relationships,drugs

It’s not letting the necessities of life overrule the priorities of life

Fasting benefits

What are the health benefits of fasting?

Weight loss, lower cholesterol levels, promotes growth hormone production which burns fat and builds muscle and slows the aging process, help regulate blood sugar which in turn will decrease inflammation and it’s slows down and reversed some of the aging process.

You’re going to detox your mind and your body.

So What does it mean to have Toxins in your body? Toxins accumulate through eating processed or fast foods, all the colors, preservatives that we eat get hidden deep into our tissue and fat.

It’s toxic thoughts too, things you have been told or told to yourself and se...
