Fasting Testimonies

(test 1)
20 Day Fast by Steph
from Midwest City, OK,
When I entered into this fast, I did so out of
obedience to the Holy Spirit. It started out as
mainly a healing fast because the Lord told me
that this healing would only come through fasting.
I really had no idea how long this would be and
actually felt that the Lord had released me from
the fast after the water portion of it which would
have been day 13, but I felt strongly that I
wanted to continue. The short story about my
healing is that when I started this fast I was
taking about 20 pills a day, 4 different
prescriptions. Now, after completing a 20 day
fast, I am on no prescription medications. I have
lost 25 pounds. And I have no swelling in my face,
ankles or feet as before. The short story about
the self-discipline and spiritual aspects of this
fast, is that I lost interest in wasting time in
front of the television, I have become much more
productive in getting things done that need to be
done in other words not procrastinating, I've been
a procrastinator all my life. No desire to
overeat. I have broken my fast, and have reached
the point where food is palatable, but not lusted
for. I'm eating very small amounts of fruits and
vegetables for the next 5 days. I know my physical
healing is not complete, but God has assured me
that it is in progress and He has heard my cry.
Yesterday, the day I broke my fast, I came to work
and on my desk I have a little box of scriptures
and I pull a different one out everyday. When I
pulled out the card for the day, it gave these two
verses. "But I will restore health to you and heal
your wounds," declares the Lord. Jeremiah 30:17 "I
am the Lord that Healeth thee. Exodus 15:26.
I
praise God for the experience of this fast and am
looking forward to making fasting a regular part
of my life. I plan to keep checking in to be an
encouragement to others and also I will let you
know when I have my full testimony posted. Thanks
for all the support and prayers I've received over
the past 3 weeks. I love you and am praying for
you all.
More fasting stuff.
