So...
When God told me to do the 40 day and night fast...and count the days...I did accomplish what He told me.
Looking back I feel I missed out on a portion by not staying out there longer like Jesus did.
So...
Now I have been told to go out again...even though I have only been back out of the woods for a couple weeks after fasting 10 days.
This time the scripture God keeps bringing to mind over and over is...
Luke 10:38-42Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
38*Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. 39*And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard his word. 40*But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. 41*And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: 42*but one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
So...
It is impossible for God to lie...and He said only one thing is needful.
What are your thoughts on trusting vs testing?
Would it be testing God to choose to eat and drink nothing according to the flesh while continually reading the bible during the day and praying continually during the night.
He did also say...
Luke 12:20-32Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
20*But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? 21*So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
22*And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. 23*The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. 24*Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls? 25*And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit? 26*If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest? 27*Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 28*If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith? 29*And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. 30*For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. 31*But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you. 32*Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
So...
Who thinks it is trusting to simply follow those scriptures even if it means I might die according to the flesh literally?
Perhaps God is proving my level of trust by putting it in my heart to do so?
