Towards the last week of 2023 i made up my mind that for the last seven days of the year i am going to fast; to abstain from consumption of the outside opinions, adjust on my eating clock; to give much of my time and focus towards prayer, scripture reading, meditation and worship with the purpose of seeking the mind and the will of God for my life. At the forefront of this fast was the request i had made which was to receive complete health and strength for my body. My greatest desire was that the King would work with me on this one and just relieve me of the burden of the old diagnosis (chronic) and the new diagnosis (long-term). My petition was as soon as the clocked changed to 00:00 01 January 2024 strength of the joints and a fresh feeling would be activated in my body. I mean an overall feeling of newness. How fantastic is that ?! 🥰😎
Listen, God surprised me, he didn't deny me my request, but he was like ;we are on the same page, I support that thought, it’s absolutely what I want for you: alignment with my will, healing, uh__ in your words ‘an overall feeling for newness’. We are on the same page it’s just that am not going to do it your way how you planned it. But believe me it will work and you’ll love it.
Track with me so you know how I picked the mind of God. I had a dream and in the vision, an apostle I am found of walked into my apartment, sad down at my dining table, held my hands and said ‘let go of the obsession you have for your vision and seek to persue the vision of God for your life’. I was believing for healing and this is what I was instructed to do; a shift in focus and priority. I woke up from the dream I was confused for a short while. As I was meditating in the afternoon I then received the Instruction which came in a form of a scripture, Proverbs 3:5-6 which speaks about not leaning on one’s understanding but acknowledging the Lord in all we do so he make straight our path. I was seeking guidance through prayer and asking for insight as my plan turned out to not be what I am supposed to be obsessing over currently.
I continued with the activities of fasting and my heart gained so much strength and courage, I was confident that the vision of God is enough. God will hold my hand and step by step I get to do this life with him receiving his instructions for the day in a form of scripture, in a form of a word being released in my spirit through prayer I am then aligned with the will of God for my life. The vision of God is revealed each day that passes by.
I was hoping to receive this ‘vision of the Lord’ in detail about my life, I later learnt it’s actually release day by day as I seek his presence and thoughts on literally anything. He makes it know and guides me into seeing it as he does and this is my first take away from the fast. The second primary take away is just calmness of the heart when I could be doubting or seeking to control things so to speed up the outcome. To do things differently yet better. In the past because of my impatience if I had doubts about the outcome of something, which happens to be God taking care of what I asked him to, I would take matters into my hands instead of waiting to see how he will work it out. Now my spirit is so relaxed that I am desiring more to see how God will work things out. I am learning that God loves me and definitely wants the best for me in everything situation. Where love is there lies good intentions.
I grew a desire to take care of myself holistically. My heart, my mind: releasing doubt and having confidence instead. I feel less anxious about things now. I am also eating better and working out on a daily.
I asked God to Heal my illnesses and he gave me a desire to take care of myself and ohh boy I FEEL SO ENERGETIC AND LESS STIFF, I AM EVEN MUCH HAPPIER AND AT PEACE. I guess this is the new me! ❤️🔥
Philippians 4:6 Don’t worry about anything; instead pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your heart and mind as you live in Christ Jesus.
1 Peter 5:7 Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.
