Day 9 of a 21-Day Fast

Is He Speaking To You?

Remember, Paul was fasting when God called him and shared the assignment for his life, and Peter was fasting on the rooftop when God gave him a new revelation and called him to take the gospel to the Gentiles. What will God reveal to you during your Fast?

On your ninth day of fasting, remember:
- Water needs to be with you at all times
- Rest and relax as much as possible
- Remember your prayer time and prayer place
- Write your thoughts in your prayer journal
- Continue to meditate and listen
- Sugar free mints

Physical Effects:
- Senses are heightened
- Weight loss continues
- You become mentally aware of the Lord’s presence all around you
- Your hunger for His provision and His attention is intensified

Today’s Quote: Fasting prepares the way for God to give you fresh revelations, fresh visions, and clear purpose. God will do this for you. Stay the course, finish the race. An incredible reward of fresh wind and fresh fire awaits you on the other side.” (Jentezen Franklin)

Thoughts for your Journal:
- Think about the mental, physical and spiritual battle you encounter as you combat the hunger pangs.
- Reflect on the battle that ensues between the carnal man and the spirit.
- How has God’s presence become clearer through this experience?
