Listen now
Description
When fasting for favor can mean the difference between life and death. It's Day eight of our 21 day fast. Today, we're going to talk about Fasting for Favor DISCLAIMERS: Remember, fasting does not move God. Fasting moves us. It puts us in a position to receive from God.   I am not a medical professional, and nothing in this podcast should be taken as medical advice.  Please fast responsibly. If you have any underlying health issues or unhealthy relationship with food, do not fast. And if you are going on an extended fast, it's a good idea to check with your doctor first. Father God,  We are so grateful for Your boundless grace and provision in our lives. You are the source of all goodness, and we thank You for Your unending favor and the countless blessings You pour out on us. Thank You, Father, for granting us favor in the eyes of those around us, for enabling us to find kindness and understanding in our interactions. Even when we can't see You working, we trust that You are orchestrating things behind the scenes. In times of uncertainty, when we don't see a way, we hold onto the truth that You are actively working for our good, and You can always make a way. You are the way-maker. When we face dead ends and insurmountable barriers, You miraculously pave new roads for us. You turn impossibilities into possibilities. As we continue to fast and pray, help us to become more attuned to Your presence and work in our lives. Give us the faith to see Your hand in all things.  Thank You for Your provision. Thank You for Your favor.  In the precious name of Jesus we pray.Amen ----- Thank you for joining me on Meditating The Word today. This is Cheree, reminding you that you are in my prayers. I look forward to seeing you again tomorrow.  Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing. ---- Back Roller mentioned: https://amzn.to/3O9XWEJ #commissionsearned Fasting Resource: Fasting: Opening the Door to a Deeper, More Intimate, More Powerful Relationship With God by Jentezen Franklin -- https://amzn.to/4b2vUVq - #CommissionsEarned OR, listen to the audiobook free: https://amzn.to/4b4216Y - #CommissionsEarned ----- Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/richard-bodgers/earth-in-bloomLicense code: PKB2GOTPFQSZZFD7 Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/sonder-house/dreaming-elliott-jacquesLicense code: 5HBP1CI7GED7IEQD #meditatingtheword #podcast #fasting #fastingandprayer #favor #esther
