NOTES:
The world is broken. People all around you are suffering and dying. Not just physically, spiritually. You as I, have probably suffered some trauma the last year or so but more likely 20 years ago. Somebody in here is holding onto something that fruitless but you won’t let go. Tonight is a good time to heal from that.
My dad was a slug. I hated him. Then I fasted and God said forgive him. Because my flesh was weak, 11 days into a fast, I spent the last three months with him without judgement. I was diagnosed with Menderes disease, healed after fasting. There is nothing more powerful, but our educated brain wants to say oh that’s too simpley
To fill the gap in pain, world creates static by keeping us busy, emails, Facebook, work, news, eating food, extending ourselves beyond our capability.
—write down one thing that limits you, that creates static. I need less of that.
It creates a tiny bandaid on our lives, covers up some imperfection, takes away from our purpose. Alcohol does this too. Sugar does. Calling your sister to complain about the same thing or to gossip does the same thing. Constantly having the radio on, avoiding the quiet, does the same thing. Acting like nothing is wrong when you’re destroyed on the inside.
It’s hard to believe that
But you will never find yourself until you lose yourself, sometimes your heart needs to be broken to understand your smallness and gods bigness.
I believe that anything great that you do will be outside of your comfort zone and in faithfulness.
Certainty is the opposite of faith.
Your uncertainty should lead you to the answer that you are not the answer and do not have all the answers.
God is not a genie, but he has every answer you’ll ever need.
You can't just stay at the surface and expect God to move, not if you want to see big changes in your life.
I believe that a lot of what we deal with is a heart issue. a hurt issue. a hurt that isolating yourself from your holy father only creates more hurt.
Maybe it isn’t hurt, its confusion, you don’t know why you do what you do and sometimes even what the heck are you doing and supposed to be doing
What are u going to lose this year and replace with something good?
Who are you? - a small description
whose are you? - a small description
What breaks your heart? - what would you change if you knew you had no barriers
What is fasting?
Removing something that is not as important for something more important.
Facebook, Twitter, TV, email, food, relationships,drugs
It’s not letting the necessities of life overrule the priorities of life
Fasting benefits
What are the health benefits of fasting?
Weight loss, lower cholesterol levels, promotes growth hormone production which burns fat and builds muscle and slows the aging process, help regulate blood sugar which in turn will decrease inflammation and it’s slows down and reversed some of the aging process.
You’re going to detox your mind and your body.
So What does it mean to have Toxins in your body? Toxins accumulate through eating processed or fast foods, all the colors, preservatives that we eat get hidden deep into our tissue and fat.
It’s toxic thoughts too, things you have been told or told to yourself and set anchor with you life on. This is all you’ll ever be or have, you should could wouoda, you’ll never be this…..I hate him or her, and thoughts like I’ll never forgive that person
How do you get rid of toxins?
You pray and fast
What are the risks? Dehydration is the first thing so make sure you are drinking water and lots of it. Blood sugar levels will drop, you may not be diabetic after this.
Lmnt salt packs
What should people expect to happen to their bodies when they fast? Lose weight, eventually feel great, clearer mind after the first few days.
The motive of biblical fasting is, "I'm hungry for God. What I need is God. What I want is God. Who I need to be around is God." It's that angst you read about in the Psalms so often. "As the deer pants for the water, so my soul longs for you. When am I going to meet with God? When can I be in the presence of God? How long, O Lord, will you forsake me?" Fasting is a hunger for God that transcends and trumps other hungers in our lives. It's that moment when we go, "I'm using this time I normally set aside to eat to press into God and to pray and seek his face. I'm going to take this time I normally watch television and I'm going to press into God and I'm going to pray. I'm going to take this time I normally do this and I'm going to press into God and pray."
Faith is a garden, and everyday I have to work on it or it will die and I on the inside will die
God plants and seed and then treats it like a gardener. Are you willing to be tilled soil in order to grow and change?
Jesus is the root, and growth happens in the dirt.
God isn't a genie, embrace the process, embrace the mundane embrace the same.
Gardner may come day after day and see nothing, does that mean quit? Does that mean something new isn't growing? It takes time to see a sprout.

Trellis
trellis (treillage) is an architectural structure, usually made from an open framework or lattice of interwoven or intersecting pieces of wood, bamboo or metal that is normally made to support and display climbing plants.
Vine
any plant having a long, slender stem that trails and climbs by winding itself about a support or holding fast with tendrils or claspers.
At first glance, the vine is abundantly healthy. It's leaves bright green and the stems full of juicy chlorophyll and oxygen. There is no brown, no signs of decay except for the lighter green, almost yellow tips of the leaves just outside of the trellis that it lays upon.
On further inspection, the trellis, though still brightly painted from years ago, has started to warp and fray on its ends, leaving rotten wood and bugs creeping into its interior. Due to the exceeding decay, the vine has taken on the damage and can no longer grow to its expected heights.
And while the vine is the main subject, the one that moves people by its beauty and mystery, the trellis is needed just as much to hold up the wonderful vine so that all can see.
Are you willing to work on your trellis? The parts that people don’t see?
Matthew 4- Jesus goes into the wilderness, fasting for 40 days the. Satan comes into the picture and tempts him with worldly things, with bread. Then afterward, as Jesus returns, his very first sermon and teaching involves Matthew 6

Matthew 6:16-18 ESV
"And when you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, that your fasting may not be seen by others but by your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
Biblical Examples of fasting: • Moses 40 day fast before God gave him the 10 Commandments. Elijah fasted 40 days, Jesus fasted 40 days. • Esther called for the city to fast for 3 days and God spared them from the evil plot of Haman. • Hannah was depressed because she couldn’t have a baby so she fasted in 1 Samuel and God heard her prayer and soon Samuel was born. • Judah, Ezra, Daniel, the people of Ninevah, Nehemiah, David, Anna, Paul, Peter all fasted in the Bible.
But beware: the Bible says
1 "Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
2 "Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.
3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
4 so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
5 "And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.
6 But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
7 "And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words.
8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
9 Pray then like this: "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.
10 Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread,
12 and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
14 For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you,
15 but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
16 "And when you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.
17 But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,
18 that your fasting may not be seen by others but by your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
19 "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal,
20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.
21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
22 "The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light,
23 but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!
24 "No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.
25 "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? - Matthew 6:1-26
How long do I fast?
Length • Joshua fasted 40 days • Daniel fasted 21 days from bread and meat and wine • Peter fasted 3 days
What happens when we fast?
God is about to spiritually body slam you...in a good way. Be excited.
You will be healthier.
We begin to pursue God in a more intense way, our prayer life becomes more serious, our prayers become more specific.
Voice of God becomes clearer.
Repentance and recovery will occur.
Mourning loss of the person that we just lost and God fills your heart.
You let him know you are seeking him.
Your senses for the things of heaven heighten.
The static of the world will darken.
John 15:1-4 ESV
"I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.

Faithfulness leads to fruitfulness
2 Corinthians 6:3
3 We put no obstacle in anyone's way, so that no fault may be found with our ministry,
4 but as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: by great endurance, in afflictions, hardships, calamities,
5 beatings, imprisonments, riots, labors, sleepless nights, hunger;
6 by purity, knowledge, patience, kindness, the Holy Spirit, genuine love;
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own,
20 for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.
