Fasting

John 10:27 “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

In my prayer time yesterday, I was asking the Lord to cleanse me of my sin.  The  scripture above came to mind, and I began to journal.

I desire for my Bride to be healed of the infirmities brought on by the world.  They listen more to what the world says than what my word says.  They have more faith in the world then in the word.  
 
Because of the world and its influence, many are dull of hearing my voice. 

I then remembered that at times I would go on a media fast.  The media fast would consist of cutting out any form of news.  That means  Internet, radio, television and newspaper.  It is best done for a week, though fasting a few days brings results. 

The  reason for a media fast is to hear His voice clearer in my life, and to give me direction and direction for others when I minister.  It also helps me  draw closer to Jesus, and develop a more personal relationship.  I desire the kind of relationship where I am not always asking, but listening to the Lord.  I desire to be just with Him. 

I am planning  my next media fast.    If you have not tried a media fast, I encourage you to do so.  Use the time in prayer, meditation and reading of the word. Doing so will cause a purging of the world, and hearing His voice clearer in your life.
