Marissa,

It is so reassuring to hear the message revealed to you in you’re fasting journey about your Grandpa and his salvation. I have been heavy hearted about your Grandfather’s salvation. Your Grandfather never went forward at church to demonstrate his salvation and acceptance of Jesus Christ as his Lord. I wish he had told me, I had been praying for four years. In his silent way he had accepted the Lord, your story, a “Life That Prays” is so reassuring to me during my mourning for your Grandfather.

During the past few months your Grandfather was the one who made sure we made it to church, it was getting harder and harder for me to get out of bed and attend church regularly. The roles had changed and he was now the one who was the encourager to get to church on Sunday mornings. God is good and answers steadfast prayer. Thanks for being a prayer warrior and praying for us. Your Mom read your testimony to be and made a copy for me. A heavy burden has been lifted!

Love

Your Nana

Marissa,

Your Nana will be pleased to read this blog. She cries every night that your grandfather had not been saved before his death. She will be relieved to know the message you received from God while fasting and your grandpa’s last conversation with you before his death. I will read this blog to her tomorrow and have her leave a message and comment on your blog. Glad you called this evening to remind me to read your blog, “A Life That Prays”.
Many Blessings,
Mom

I was so incredible blessed by all the comments and to see God stirring hearts that are hungry for His presence to fast. Getting ready to start fasting together with my husband and our corporate Church body tomorrow and these responses have only added to my expectancy to see God move in our lives in 2010. Thank you for sharing your hearts!
Great Love!

I have been thinking of starting a fast… My kids are having surgery soon, and I feel I need to be prepared to deal with what they are telling me will be a two week recovery. I’m believing for a quick recovery for them and strength from on high to serve them during it. This was a timely post for me today! Thanks! BTW – my hubby and I went to CFNI as well.

This is so timely!! We are gearing up as a church to do this….and I must admit my old walk of religiousness tends to steer me away from things like fasting, I want to do them and see them as acts of Love to my Father and I have been asking Him to show me what that looks like again. He has been faithful in stirring me up and putting those spiritual desires back in my heart and showing me what they should look like. This only fuels me to fast for the right reasons and reminds me of what an amazing God we serve!!! Thank you for always sharing the deepest depths of your heart!!!!

Ok, since I’m on vacation, just now got a chance to read this! And I’m honored to be your 30th comment! This one was too perfect for starting the new year! God really reawoken me to fasting when Rebecca told me about the book by Franklin Jentezen. The word of your testimony- so powerful. It’s one thing to tell people what we know or have read about, but when it’s the story of our lives, that’s just powerful! This has encouraged me today that when I get back, to listen to God and find out what fast Hes calling me to…oh, how I liked your liquid one (coffee) until you were rushed to the hospital!!! 2010- Lets Begin! ;p

I don’t really believe in “New Years Resolutions.” I think they are kind of lame and juts set you up for failure. With all the hype in the media lately asking all of us “what’s your New Years Resolution?” I vowed this year to not even make one.

Without any fear of man, I say that I’m bipolar and i hate it. I hate the diagnosis and i feel like it is ruining my life. Coming in the way of my job, finances, marriage, and relationship with others. I’ve pretty much just given up hope. The only thing i really only hope for is the “right” medicine to make things easier.

Lately people have come into my life and needed help, but i can only do so much because I’m running on empty. My daily walk with God has slowly faded away and my heart has become numb and hardened.

I need to fast like i need to eat and drink daily. I’ve heard all these stories before, but this blog was anointed. By breaking the vow in my heart i say learning to “fast” is MY New Years Resolution. I will hope and pray for not just the right pill, but a complete healing from my Lover. That my job, finances, marriage, and friendships with align with God’s heart and will for me.

Thank you, I lover your face off!
