Fasting: Do You Have Parasites?

Do You Have Parasites?
 

The following is an excerpt from chapter 1 of my book, A Walk in the Wilderness:Wilderness 
  
Parasites:
During the first prolonged 21-day fast that I did, I kept a journal of parasites that were eliminated from my body.  I was surprised (shocked actually) to see what was living off of my body!  Statistically, 85% of North Americans unknowingly have at least one form of digestive parasite.
 
In America, the number one cause of persons being infected with Ecoli bacteria is from drinking tap water.  It is also probable that most forms of parasites enter our bodies through tap water.  Fasting is a method to rid the body of parasites.

 
As you seek the Lord and desire to serve Him more, are you considering fasting?  Read on…
 
 
How Scriptural is Fasting?

 

Dr. GreenwoodThere are nearly 70 references to fasting in the Bible.  Each week, I’ll share a few verses with you.  Searching the bible will help you discover more about fasting for yourself. 

 

Last week we looked at Mark 8:3.   

 

Acts 27:9 — Paul making reference to the annual day of atonement
 

Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them.

The Strength of Grace

The Strength of Grace

 

Even when we feel inadequate and ineffective, we can move in the strength and power of God’s grace.  The grace that we have in Jesus will operate perfectly, even when we are weak. Today, rest in the confidence that God’s grace is sufficient for whatever you face.
 
2 Timothy 2:1 – Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 
 
2 Corinthians 12:9 – And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.  
 
Acts 4:33 – And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.
 
Ephesians 3:7 — Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.

It’s Enough…

Sufficient Grace

 

 
God’s grace is enough for every situation.  God alone is aware of the difficulties you’ve encountered.  He knows that you have felt as if the trials would swallow you completely. His grace is able to sustain you and to deliver you.
 
2 Corinthians 12:9 — And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.  
 
1 Timothy 1:14 — And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
 
James 4:6 — But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

The Hand of God

  • June 30, 2009 12:36 pm
Do not continue to ponder things that you have no personal control over.  This can only cause frustration, disappointment and fault-finding. Determine to release these situations into the hand of God. Trust in Him. God’s grace is sufficient, even in the most difficult of situations.
 
2 Corinthians 12:9 — And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 

 
Numbers 11:23 — And the Lord said to Moses, “Is the Lord’s hand shortened? Now you shall see whether my word will come true for you or not.” 

Enjoy your day!
