Confession
Remember to accompany your fast with confession of sin. Confess your sin, our spiritual weaknesses your lack of dependence on God, through this we can experience the cleansing forgiveness of Jesus Christ. Take the time to read 1 John 1 – 2
1 Samuel 7:6, “When they had assembled at Mizpah, they drew water and poured it out before the Lord. On that day they fasted and there they confessed, “we have sinned against the Lord.”
“Confession recognizes the absence of God’s presence in our lives through our own willfulness or indifference. Fasting is an act of craving more of God’s presence, power and purity in our lives and ministry. Confession is admitting there is something wrong between us and God. Fasting is longing for the fullness of God to flood our soul. When we practice confession in our fasting, our fasting becomes more than a tool to bring God back to us; it becomes an instrument moving us back to God because God never moves.” -Gary Rohrmayer
I love how God has a way to bring us back to Him. Oh, how my heart longs for Him!
Let us pray: Father in heaven, show me through this fast those areas of spiritual weakness and self-reliance in my life so that I may confess them and receive your healing, cleansing and purifying forgiveness. Father, I want to experience a new level of spiritual refreshment and strength that can only come through you, In the strong name of Jesus Christ our Lord I pray, Amen.
