A New Journey

I read an article recently in the "Vista: Journal for Holy Living". It was called "Fasting for the Spiritual Power". I fasted as a teen while doing the 30 hour famine. As an adult I have started a fast at times and found my legalistic mindset kept it from being spiritually meaningful. It was about following rules. My rules, "the" rules, not sure what rules were in place but I was sure that I had broken them and not done it right. This article shared spiritual reasons for fasting and pitfalls to avoid. It referenced several books, one of which I have ordered and am looking forward to receiving in the coming week. I plan to study fasting and read Elmer Towns' book called "Fasting for Spiritual Breakthrough". This topic has always been fascinating to me and I have heard of how God has worked and revealed himself during others times of fasting. I too want to draw closer to God in this way. And so begins................... A New Journey.
