FASTING LTE

FASTING LTE

This fasting LTE was one of the best experiences of my life. I had never fasted that long in my life and I expect I’ll be fasting even longer at another time in the near future. I’m going to tell you about some of the things I learned during this event, the thing I liked best about it, and then how it prepared me and many other people for the Norway trip that was to come up after it.
Well first, I learned that when you choose to do something for the Lord that stretches your comfort zone, He seems to respond pretty quickly. I think it’s because He sees that we want to know Him so much, that we are willing to do something hard for Him. Now you have to remember that sacrifice is not what the Lord longs for. He longs for obedience. It is the greatest expression of love that we can give to Him. The Lord is love sick for those who fear Him and love Him with servant hearts.
The second thing I wanted to tell you is what I liked best about it. I think it’s no mystery that everyone fell in love with the heart that Blaise Foret was able to pour out to us. Blaise Foret, for those of you who don’t know, is a man who loves the Lord with such an amazing passion that is pushes and excites others to seek the Lord. I know that the passion he has for the Lord definitely inspires me and makes me want to go harder after God. It’s the Spirit of God heavy within him that stirs me up to follow Christ. The thing that I love about him is that, he’s not perfect. He has flaws and times where he has messed up, but the thing that inspired me was that he was covered in grace. The grace of the Lord covered him so heavily that it just flooded through the room when he spoke. I now see that anointing doesn’t go to those who are really talented, really strong, really wise, or really fast necessarily. I can now see that the out-pouring of His anointing goes to the hearts that have been totally wrecked for the Lord. I desire…I yearn to have a wrecked heart for Him!!!!!!!
Finally, I wanted to tell you about a trip I went on to Norway just 3 to 4 days after the event. During this trip, we got to watch in awe as the Lord used us to destroy powers of darkness. We saw deliverance from spiritual forces in people’s lives, and we also got to see the Holy Spirit give prophetic words to us from some spiritual leaders in Norway. It’s was amazing getting to see God plan for us become more clear and real.
I am so thankful that God had me go through the fasting LTE. Not only did God speak to me during this time, but He prepared me for spiritual battles in Norway. Praise the Lord that He brings us through the fire, and that we always come out stronger and more in love with Him on the other end of it.
