EGGW's Work Week Fast for March 5th thru March 9th!

EGGW's Work Week Fast Coming Soon!

Hello!! It's that time of the month again! This will be our 2nd fast of the year. I actually stayed on my fast for 3 weeks because I felt the need to do so last time. Its all up to you how long you feel you want to but I do suggest that if you did not do a full 5 days, to try and do so this time.

Remember: By fasting, I have found that our eyes are open; our ears can hear and we comprehend what God wants us to do. Fasting leaves us open to hear and receive God's word more clearly. It also breaks down our dependance on food which forces us to depend on God for physical strength. Basically, if you really want change in your life or want to hear God more clearly, you can accomplish it by fasting.

Our fast is 1 week out of the month. This would actually be a Monday thru Friday (Five days). Now, many people can fast for weeks on end and that is fine. It really is what is comfortable for you especially health wise. So advice you to consult your doctor as to what will be best for you.

I would like to invite anyone who wants to fast along with me on March 5th thru March 9th. We will be fasting with water only and then incorporate a protein shake in the evening around 5pm. You can go the entire 5 days fasting straight through without food if you can do so.

I just wanted to share this and invite anyone to fast, to get a Word from God and clearer understanding of their life.

Please contact me if you will join me in the fast for the week of March 5th thru March 9th. I'd like to be your support during the time of fasting as we help each stay strong.

God bless!

Scriptures for Praying and Fasting

 Scriptures for Praying and Fasting

I wanted to share with everyone who is joining me in the fast this week, scriptures that help me during a fast. If you read them all at once or one per day, it will help strengthen you during the day. 

God Bless!

 

Isaiah 40:28-31- Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall;  but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Isaiah 41:10 - So do not fear, for I am with you;do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. 

1 Chronicles 16:11-  Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always. 

Exodus 15:2- The LORD is my strength and my defense;  he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will exalt him.

Philippians 4:13-  I can do all this through him who gives me strength. 

Psalm 18:32-34- It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure. He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he causes me to stand on the heights. He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

1 Corinthians 10:13-  No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

Psalm 119:23 -  Though rulers sit together and slander me, your servant will meditate on your decrees.
