HUNGER FOR THE HARVEST, JUNE 3 AUGUST 21

Posts every Wednesday and Friday to learn about the connection between fasting and His harvest. We will explore together how fasting increases your hunger for God, creating a position of humility that thirsts for holy intimacy and holy maturity. Helping others and planting seeds will become a natural and a supernatural response. Jesus is the Lord of the Harvest, He will use you in the lives of others to further His kingdom.

COMING NEXT: 30 DAY FAST AND PREPARATION, AUGUST 24 – SEPTEMBER 30

Posts every day. 30 days of fasting does not mean you do not eat for 30 days! The preparation posts will help you identify which meals or what things God may be asking you to abstain from for 30 days. A fast can be many things. Normally it is a plan to deny yourself some kind of food or something that is habitual. You want the lack of it to be noticed regularly by your body and your mind. And you want to experience a sort of hunger for it. It can be a good thing or a bad thing. A fast, by design, will turn your thoughts toward God when the moment comes that you say No. These posts will help you focus on how He will spiritually provide what you need, in the moment and beyond.

Hi! I’m Amanda!

I write for people, like me, who are hungry for the Word of God and want to explore what it says about God’s hunger for us and our own spiritual hunger for Him. I hope that my concise reviews will help you find a way to visit false commitments, fake enthusiasms, faltering plans, and inconsistent faith. And that I can help you find the habits that make a difference for feeding the faith in your life. Let’s explore godly fasting. And let’s find a way to feed the physically and spiritually starved people we encounter in the world in which we live and work every day.

Join me on my own journey of personal hunger and how we might ease the hunger of others.

From fasters and readers:

My fast was not about food, it was about returning to a hunger for God. I was in starvation mode. The challenge, which I have accepted, is to slowly let God. Let Him bring me back to a place where I will lose my control and believe I can’t but He can. I have fallen on my knees in pain and in amazement of His Godincidences just for me. I am wearing knee pads daily! Grateful He has never left me. – Lee

I found that fasting, exchanging food and other vices for intimate time with God, has really propelled me forward! I’ve gotten so much done to establish my coaching business for moms. It’s been a transformative year! – Beth

Love your writing style. Your voice is one that is needed in a world of self-reliance. Keep guiding us to be Jesus-reliant. – Jacob

I am waking up to my last day of fasting. It’s been good for my spirit, mind and body. I am adding more reading to my daily routine as a result of this fast. This time really helped me get through some difficult situations. It came at the perfect time. And it gave me the energy to endure. – Jacque

My 30 days was not a food fast but rather a time fast, an opportunity to spend more time with the Lord. I had been very active in studying the Word but had lost intimacy with the Lord through prayer. Thank you for the encouragement to dedicate 30 days to grow closer to our loving Father! – Candy

My 30 Day Fast has been a powerful experience. I chose to fast from negative words and thoughts. The daily emails kept me encouraged and fulfilled. It’s amazing how setting aside time like this can lead to personal growth and spiritual enrichment! I will continue to nurture this positivity and enhanced spiritual growth. – Mary Em
