Why We Fast
“We FAST NOT to get something FROM God, but FOR who we will become.” Pastor Oscar Lemuel
Victory Church OKC 🏜️🌵🌺
Hey friend, is there something you want to become or overcome? Something got a hold of you that you just can’t shake?
Truth is: Some things call for (dare I say demand of us) prayer and fasting to bring the needed change for our breakthrough. Some things simply need our full focus.
🌵When we don’t know what to do…
🌵when we’ve tried all.the.things
🌵when nothing has changed…we need to set our hearts and our gaze on Jesus.
Because when we look at him, we become more like him. Beholding brings the breakthrough!
When we run to him instead of every.other.thing, something’s going to change for our good, for the better, for our sake, for Heaven’s sake. 🌺
For the next 21 days, our church is doing just that—all eyes on Jesus, fasting and praying and devouring the Word of God in place of something (fill in the blank) that’s got a hold of us, something we might need to shake or loosen or get rid of so we can pick something else up.
Maybe we can replace what’s been holding us back for something that will launch us forward into God’s plan and purpose for our lives. Sunday morning, Pastor Oscar said the most profound thing and I couldn’t shake it. It’s worth repeating. 🤯 “We fast NOT to get something FROM God, but FOR who we will BECOME…” in the process. 🙌
(See 📕 Matthew 17:21, 2 Chronicles 20:12, 2 Corinthians 2:12-17) 💛AEM 🙏
Drop a 🌵🌺 if you’re ready for breakthrough and/or if would like prayer! I’d love to pray for you!
