Fasting
John 10:27 “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
In my prayer time yesterday, I was asking the Lord to cleanse me of my sin. The scripture above came to mind, and I began to journal.
I desire for my Bride to be healed of the infirmities brought on by the world. They listen more to what the world says than what my word says. They have more faith in the world then in the word.
Because of the world and its influence, many are dull of hearing my voice.
I then remembered that at times I would go on a media fast. The media fast would consist of cutting out any form of news. That means Internet, radio, television and newspaper. It is best done for a week, though fasting a few days brings results.
The reason for a media fast is to hear His voice clearer in my life, and to give me direction and direction for others when I minister. It also helps me draw closer to Jesus, and develop a more personal relationship. I desire the kind of relationship where I am not always asking, but listening to the Lord. I desire to be just with Him.
I am planning my next media fast. If you have not tried a media fast, I encourage you to do so. Use the time in prayer, meditation and reading of the word. Doing so will cause a purging of the world, and hearing His voice clearer in your life.

This is an excellent idea, Yvette.
At the end of this month, I’ll be entering a new phase in my life. That would be a great time to go on a fast of the media and a few other things. Thanks for the suggestion!
God bless you!

I love this idea and it goes right along with what the Lord has been laying on my heart and I did not fully understand. I am going to try this as well.
Blessing my friend,

Thanks for being sensitive to the Holy Spirit. Abba has spoken the exact same thing to me.

A media fast is an excellent idea. We frequently don’t know how barraged we are until we choose to turn off the TV, the radio, and avoid places where someone is trying to sell us something. I decided to unplug my TV a few weeks ago to save energy. I plugged it back in last night to watch a DVD and realized I hadn’t watched TV in over 2 weeks. Maybe that’s why I’ve been so calm . . .
Abba speaks to me, but usually says, ‘You are the dancing queen’ or ‘Do you hear the drums, Fernando?’
