Open Vision and more on Discipline & Fasting

my God! An Open Vision on Trees and the living water flow. We also talk about Discipline and fasting as we enter a series of teaching on fasting.

Discipline. Fasting requires discipline on any given day. But, to do an extended fast requires the fruits of the spirit - joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. A 21 day fast and longer is designed to get you to a place of Purification. I want to challenge your complacency and expose you to ONE absolute spiritual truth -  Extended fasting is your chosen weapon! Yes, extended fasting will change you, your life, and your Destiny! 

Many Christians are living a defeated life or a life full of small inconsistent victories. Why? Because they have not mastered this area. Yes, we all get “obedience is better than sacrifice”, as we quote it well and we will do what God says to do most of the time. But, until we get this… Discipline - not the discipline of God's correction - but joyful, will-full discipline comes from retraining the brain. This is different from self-control – the word self alone lets you know you will have some problems - but joyful, will-full discipline comes from retraining the brain. It means I'm happy and excited to live a disciplined lifestyle and declare “No it's not a burden, It's what I want to do”!

Hebrews 12:11 “For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.”
