Please Do Not Eat on Inauguration Day
I have done New Age type fasting cuz some New Age type gooroo said to. It was interesting.
I have done trendy health regime intermittent fasting cuz some trendy health regime type gooroo said to. It was useful.
So it is not like I am a stranger to fasting.
But then one day, I tried to fast AND pray because the Bible says to, or at least seems to say to.
Boy oh boy.
Did that blow all the rest out of the water.
And in time I came to incorporate periods of fasting and prayer as a part of my life.
I don’t know how it works, but it works. My understanding of God grew deeper. My faith grew deeper. My desire for the things of God grew deeper. My relationship with food has been reset repeatedly. And it became a lifestyle change for me — fasting and prayer became a part of how I lived, so much so that I would long for it and the clarity it brought when I was not doing it.
This is one of many things in my life that changed with the lockdowns, the lockdowns for me that ordered every church in the state of California closed down.
I’m sure you too have a long list of things that changed. Some of them might even have been changes for the better.
So, fast forward about four years and here I am writing about fasting and prayer. I have dug into what the Bible has to say about it. I have dug into what prominent theologians have said about it. I have dug into what US Presidents of the past have said about it. Did you know that at least four US Presidents have asked for Americans to have a national day of fasting and prayer for the purpose of humbling themselves and our nation before the Lord?
Well, before I knew it, I was writing a book on the topic. The book just came out of me. I started with those presidential proclamations on why America needs to fast and pray. Reading those is pretty neat. In some desperate moments, some prominent leaders very publicly turned to God, and asked their fellow Americans to do the same. Then I moved onto biblical proclamations of the same. There are a bunch of examples of that.
Until the new president is inaugurated, this book will be available free to all who want it. Tap here to get it.
And yes, once you have had a look at it, if you think it is a fit for others, I invite you to share this book freely. Share the link, share the actual file, share whatever you want. Thanks to thinkers like Lew Rockwell and Gary North and others hosted
