Wednesday Truth in Deep Love🤗❤️🙏
“I fasted for My people. I tell you, they did not care about fasting in My age, nor do they in this present age. When you fast, you are cleansed with My Holiness. The purity of My Spirit dwells in you and cleanses you.”(From Gianna below)
I have friends who fast from food as a means to getting closer to Our Lord. I feel like a wimp when it comes to that, because I tend to get light headed and dizzy when I don’t eat for long periods of time. From what my friends say, the discipline outweighs the discomfort. I’ll pray about this. Considering what Jesus did for me, it definitely ranks a 10 on wimp factor.
Meanwhile, there are certainly other things we can fast from that are beneficial. Politics and news are a first thought, as they’re always in our faces wreaking hate and havoc. We can put ourselves in a place where we “fast” from anger and fear, as we react to things our families and spouses say or do. That’s something I have been good about doing. Curbing the “alarm” that goes off in my head every time there’s a paradigm shift that causes me to react from a place of fear, thereby upsetting my loved ones, who simply had an idea that disrupted my flow of thought, or how I expected my day was going to go. As I get older, I like to fast from “complexity.” Things that detract from the beauty and simplicity that God has so freely given us, things of the world that hold little to no value in the grand scheme of things. We can certainly afford to fast from things like pride and vanity. Thinking we’re here to impress other people. Maybe paying attention to, and fasting from the “seven deadly sins” as a whole would be a good exercise. Pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth. Even if we aren’t displaying these sins outwardly as many are, we can certainly be conscious of them and make a conscious effort to curb them as we work for The Kingdom, doing all we can to bring all of us to Jesus, and to bring Him back to us, as we walk each other through these trying times. Keeping it simple, and making His love and peace a constant in our daily routine. All love, all in, and totally His.❤️🙏

FASTING
DECEMBER 13, 1988
My dear child, I am here to save. I am here to save you and My people. This is not a game. this is true. .. for I am Truth, and this is serious.
It is serious because of the many lost souls, who could be turned away from Me because of the lack of tender gentle-ness, which is needed.
I love My people so. I wish to be with them and make them happy, but they will not invite Me. My people will soon know that you fast for their salvation. It is in fasting that you are made pure.
I fasted for My people. I tell you, they did not care about
.fasting in My age, nor do they in this present age. When you fast, you are cleansed with My Holiness. The purity of My Spirit dwells in you and cleanses you.
I ask you today to fast in order to purify and cleanse yourself for My mother’s coming. I shall purge you and sanctify you in Me. Blessed are those who fast for their love for Me, and the salvation of others.
I am not calling you to fast for long periods of time. Simply once or twice a week. Is this asking too much of you?
The purest form of fasting is on bread and water, but as you are aware, there are other ways of fasting for those who cannot do the former.
Pray for humbleness and humility. It is I, and only I, Who work through you. I am here to save. Rejoice! My peace is
with you.
