Habits of Jesus Day 21: Go
God said to Isaiah, Who will go? And Isaiah said, “I’ll go!” In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, sitting on a throne, and the train of His robe was filling the temple. Above Him were worshiping angels, each with six wings: with two wings they covered their…

New Habits 6: Recovery
Because you have spent such intimate time with Him during your 30 Day Fast, you have already jump-started whatever recovery might be needed during this season of your life.

Fast Day 23: Full
We are fasting so that we recognize how God longs to feed us from His heritage, the land of milk and honey (Isaiah 58:14)! He has created a promised land of true Life for us. It is full of things that are good to feast on, that give us strength and that will fully satisfy…

Fast Day 15: Watered
We are uniquely designed by God. He created us! Our Meyers & Briggs personality type, our DISC personality description, and our Enneagram personality framework all reflect the loving way that He put together our spirit and our soul. And whether we are shaped like a pear, an apple, a triangle, or a rectangle, we are…

Fast Day 5: Don’t Fast Like This
Isaiah 58 outlines the kind of fast or response that God wants from us. He doesn’t want what the Israelites had been giving Him: a stolid, pious, self-righteous, cold, calculating, look-at-me, tit-for-tat, complaining, religious attitude. You say, “Why have we fasted and You have not been impressed? Why have we been hard on ourselves and…

Fast Prep Day 4: How Not to Fast
You say, “Why have we fasted and You have not been impressed? Why have we been hard on ourselves and You have not even noticed?” I, the LORD, say, “Because you are fasting to please yourselves and even while you are fasting, you oppress your workers. What good is fasting if it ends in quarreling…

Fast Prep Day 1: God’s Fast
My post-COVID-19 journey led me to stop, as it did so many others, and God led me to meditate on Isaiah 58. It initiated an intimate dialogue with God about fasting and how this spiritual habit adds to His kingdom and His harvest (Matthew 9:37-38)! Let’s dig into this passage together and my hope is…

A Season of Harvest Day 21: Response to Harvest
The baby Jesus was sent by God to become the Lord of the Harvest which He planned to do from the beginning of time. God wants our participation as workers in His harvest (Matthew 9:38). In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, sitting on a throne, and the…

30 DAY FAST, SEPTEMBER 1 – SEPTEMBER 30 (Join any time, see how to prepare below.)
Early morning posts every day: 30 days of fasting does not mean you do not eat 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 prepare and focus on how He will spiritually provide what you need, in the moment and beyond.
Evening posts every day: Personal posts from me that share my own daily experience of fasting, encourage tasting the sweetness of our Lord before sleep, and prepare us for an ever deeper renewal in the morning.
