Thursday - Day 4 of the 40 Day Fast

It is interesting that during my time of prayer and studying I came across several passages regarding the Apostles and disciples of the early church where fasting is mentioned.

The first passage is where Cornelius, a Gentile was praying and fasting. Acts 10:30;

And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing.

The passage continues where an angel was sent to Cornelius to let him know that God was sending Peter to him to bring the good news. Shortly after Peter arrives, preaches and this is the beginning of conversion of the Gentiles in the early church. They were baptized in the Holy Spirit and finally accepted by other Jewish believers.

I thought it interesting that Cornelius was fasting and seeking God's direction and will for his life. Isn't that what we are doing when we commit to prayer and fasting for God's will in our lives? This excites me because now, more than ever before in my life, I need to know Christ more intimately, know His will and direction for my life, and be refilled with the Holy Spirit in a way that will take us through the days ahead. I remember reading years ago the scripture in

Matthew 6:25

Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

This is a day that the Lord has made, and we will rejoice in it (Psalm 118:24). This was the scripture the Lord gave me January 25, 1999. This was the day my youngest son was shot in the eye at point blank range. The devil tried to kill him, destroy my other son and take my blessings. He did not succeed.

Today, I sit here very uncertain of where I will be in 36 days. But I must stand fast in the words that God gives me during this time. He is saying take no thought about our lives, what we shall eat, drink, or what we should be wearing. God will provide for us through thick and thin.

The second scripture in my reading today was when Paul and Barnabas are chosen to go out. Acts 13:2

As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Desperate me Barnabas and Saul for the work where unto I have called them. 3) and when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.

I don't know about anyone else, but as I minister to the Lord and seek His face, I am praying and believing that He will show me where to go and what to be doing. I have already received more opposition than I can mention in this blog from the day I said I was going to do this. I suspect others are also being tempted to throw in the towel.

The last scripture that caught my eyes today was at the end of my reading in Acts 14:23. Paul and Barnabas were on their first missionary journey. The scripture says,

And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting they commended them to the LORD, on whom they believed.

Paul and Barnabas went out and preached with boldness and power. They might have thought the prayer and fasting was tough. From what I've read they had great success. At one point the people were even bowing down and worshiping them calling them gods. When Paul corrected them, they turned just like they turned on Jesus and began to beat and stone them.

I suspect we will all meet with some opposition after this is done, especially when we are moving and doing what God wants us to. Many may lose the support of loved ones because of our quests and callings. I am already experiencing great loss, but am having to press through the darkness that tries to take over my determination to seek the Lord with gladness, hope and expectation.

My prayer is that you will continue day four through forty with much hope and expectation that God is a rewarder of those that diligently seek Him.

Hebrews 11:6 (NLT) says,

So, you see, it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that there is a God and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.

I AM in 40 Days of Fasting

Wednesday Day 3

As some of you know I have started a 40 day fast. Today is the third day. In all honesty I've waited till the third day to make certain that I was able to start and stay on it three days!

I am on a liquid fast which means I am consuming liquids, hot tea, water, juice and various kinds of soups. I started out with bulkier soups and will be weaning down to broths as time goes on.

I don't know about you but when I announced I was going on a 40 day fast, the news traveled fast to the enemies camp and all hell broke loose. I say praise God because I am done with a so so life and I really want to see the Lord move in mine and others lives.

Two Words

The first thing I realized when attempting this fast, is it has to be the LORD helping me because I can't help myself.

My good friend Barbara Spayd gave me two words to remember.. Weakness & Power

When we are weak then the LORD can be strong. So to say the least I AM encouraged, I AM expectant, I AM elated, I AM ecstatic, I AM embracing this fast and believing the LORD has great plans for my life and the others who have joined Barbara and I in this fast.

The great I AM is in control, no matter if our circumstances are saying something different.

If you are sick, if your marriage is in trouble, if your kids are giving you trouble, if your parents are giving you trouble, if you are in financial trouble, there is only one place to go and that is to the Lord. HE IS THE GREAT IAM.

Preparing for the 40 Days of Fasting


Psalm 35:27

"Let those who are happy when I am declared innocent joyfully sing and rejoice. Let them continually say, "The LORD is great. He is happy when his servant has peace."

Psalm 35:28

And my tongue shall declare Your righteousness And Your praise all day long.

I AM HOPE MESSAGE

"Now, Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen." Hebrews 11:1

NOW FAITH is faith that is NOW..... In order to have NOW FAITH, you must have things hoped for in order for God to be able to act on your faith. It is things hoped for that Pastor Sam Hinn explains, "that will ignite faith in hour hearts." Without it, we have no living hope in God. Without faith it is impossible to please God. So, in order for God to touch our natural lives, we must have things (desires) in our hearts. If we love God, and want to serve him, then those desires (things)will be sent from God.

I preached a message Cinderella Released You Prisoner of Hope at the Destiny Released Conference in February of this Year

“As for you also,
Because of the blood of your covenant, I will set your prisoners free from the waterless pit. Return to the stronghold, You prisoners of hope. Even today I declare that I will restore double to you. For I have bent Judah, My bow, Fitted the bow with Ephraim, and raised up your sons, O Zion, Against our sons, O Greece, and made you like the sword of a mighty man.” Zechariah 9: 11-13

Living Letters

Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need like some people letters of recommendation to you or from you? You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everybody. You showlt of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living GOD, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.

As I read these verses my heart was struck with conviction.

1) Thank God, I still feel conviction,
2) Thank God, I still am reminded that once I didn't have the Lord's Spirit leading me and guiding me into all truth, and
3) Although, I still find myself in need of several breakthroughs including that of more compassion, less criticism, more mercy and definately more grace.

Although it is evident that I find myself in a time lack; lack of companionship, lack of health, lack of wealth, passion, clarity and direction, I must say I still have all my basic needs met and I find myself in a place of solitude with the Lord.

I stood behind a young man today in Walmart who could not have been over 20-21. He pulled out two brand new credit cards, and bought two Walmart Gift Cards for $2,000 each. I thought about this in today's economic times. It was very unusual. I'm not judging this man (hope I am not), but it brought to my mind that people are surviving during these times, and it appears from his standpoint, VERY WELL!

Do I really think he was buying these gift cards for maybe his two parents? Honestly, no. But, it did give me food for prayer, that maybe I just need to begin to pray and BELIEVE GOD for favor... GOOD GODLY HONEST FAVOR !!!! Along with the favor, I'm asking GOD for WISDOM....not only for myself, but for those that are in my life and need GOD'S salvation and deliverance.

This brings me to the next passage in 2 Corinthians beginning with verse 4.

Such confidence as this is ours through Christ before God. Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God. He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant--not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

My dear friend Barbara Spayd (See write up under Speakers Bureau) felt compelled to have me read this second letter to the Corinthians.

I am finally understanding that the valleys in my life, are not failures, because how can we fail if we have God on our side? To accept failure means we must deny Christ. God forbid!

I must according to God's Word consider the truth, that I am loved by God, I am His daughter, and a loyal servant of my blessed and precious LORD who has chosen this path for me, for such a time as today.

Why, I might ask? It really doesn't matter, because my trust and faith is in the LORD who promises to strengthen, lead, guide and supply me every day. It doesn't even matter if those who are supposed to care for me even do, although I am truly blessed and cherished by many.

My prayer today is that those that don't know this wonderful savior will run into His arms, because He is willing and ready to not only show MERCY and give GRACE, He is desiring to supply us with His favor. We are His favored children.

God grant me favor, grant my family, friends and those that need you favor. Help them to see your WILLINGNESS to write on the tablets of our hearts your name. Help us to see Jesus as the EYE of the storm. He is the peacemaker. He will calm the storms of life and help us through every trial and tribulation. Help our joy to be full and running over with the goodness of God!

Cinderella's House

What are the things that seem impossible to me?

They are many Lord,
oh so many Lord.

But all your miracles,
I intend to see.
Just because you've promised them to me.

I will receive all your love for me!

You're not a man that you should lie!

One by one, in your time
they will come.
And I will have the victory,

It seems impossible
that I could buy a home.
But in your time Lord,
in your time Lord.

Cinderella's Purse

One of our workers said to me at Christmas time, "Wigglesworth, I never was so near the end of my purse in my life." I replied, "Thank God, you are just at the opening of God's treasures." It is when we are at the end of our own, that we can enter into the riches of God's resources. It is when we possess nothing, that we can possess all things."
