Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of realities not seen [Hebrews 11:1 TLV].
There is no recommended way to fast. We must fast with *FAITH* led by the Holy Spirit [Ruach HaKodesh]. That is when we get Gods attention.
We waste our time fasting and go hungry for nothing; if our heart is not “in check with REPENTANCE” combined with SANCTIFICATION & JUSTIFICATION [Ephesians 4:30].
Once this is accomplished, the Holy Spirit will then lead us to now decide on how to fast, how long to fast, when to fast, and most importantly, why we are to fast.
“When we work, we work; when we fast & and pray, God works.” – Raphael Rabbi
Prepare your hearts, your spirit for a divine encounter with Christ Jesus, Yahusha!
Day 1
Proverbs 21:30 states that there is no wisdom, no insight, and no plan that can succeed against the LORD.
Believers should be mindful that God’s omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent power eradicates all attempts to conceal truth before Him. God is aware of your heart, intentions, and words. God even knows what you are going to say before you say it. [Psalm 139:4]
Our hearts and mouths are closely interconnected and require constant inspection to ensure acceptability in God’s sight. Our words reveal what our heart is full of, which is either the fruit of goodness or wickedness.
God hears and discerns the heart of individuals who:
Encourage or Mock
Love or Hate
Plot evil or plan goodwill
Speak harshly or show love
Belittle others or lift others up
Disrespect God-given relationships and authority or honor loved ones and respect authority.
What is in one’s heart eventually comes out of their mouth. In scripture, we read about the account of Ananias and Sapphira.
During the time the apostles were testifying about the resurrection of Jesus Christ, there were believers who were owners of land and houses. The believers sold their property and brought their entire sale profit to the apostles. The favor, kindness, and love that the believers showed to the apostles supported the apostles’ ministry and needs. [Acts 4:32-37]
Now, Acts 5;1-11 tells us about Ananias and Sapphira who sold a piece of property and kept back some of the earnings, bringing only a portion of the profit and set it at the apostles’ feet.
Both Ananias and Sapphira knew that the amount given to the apostles was not the entire profit from their sale. Although they had complete control over their giving amount, their hearts were deceitful in their actions, which exposed insincerity.
Ananias died, and his body was carried out and buried.
But when Peter questioned Sapphira hours later about the sale of their land, Sapphira declared the established lie discussed with her husband continuing on with deceit and hypocrisy, therefore triggering her immediate death.
Ananias and Sapphira didn’t lie to the apostles, but they lied to God. Sapphira didn’t watch her mouth although given the opportunity to speak truth and examine her heart.
This is a lesson for us that God sees our hearts and hears what comes out of our mouths.
What is your heart full of 
What is coming out of your mouth
Are your words and heart’s meditations pleasing before God
God help us watch our mouths.
Amen. Amen. Amen
It is well
DAY 2
The words that flow from your mouth contain the power to bless or curse.
Regardless of your circumstance, be cognizant of the words you speak. In scripture, the Shunammite woman serves as an excellent example for individuals to follow in guarding one’s mouth in the midst of difficulty.
When we read 2 Kings 4:8-37, in Shunem, there lived a woman who was prominent and influential. When Elisha passes through the town, the Shunammite woman shows great hospitality by providing a fully furnished dwelling place for him.
Mindful of the Shunammite woman’s genuine kindness, Elisha sought to thank and bless her in return.
Gehazi, the servant of Elisha, stated that she had no son and her husband was old. Elisha spoke a blessing over her that changed the course of her life. She conceived and gave birth to a son the following year.
Over a period of time, the Shunammite woman’s son told his father about a possible headache he was experiencing and was carried to his mother. The Shunammite woman held her son, and then he died.
For a parent to witness and experience the death of their child is an indescribable feeling that only God’s grace and comforting power can alleviate them from, but in the midst of pain, fear, depression, anxiety, and alarm she was very careful to WATCH HER MOUTH as she sought after the Man of God who declared this promise to her.
The Shunammite woman guarded her mouth as she carried her son and laid him on the bed, and shut the door. She guarded her mouth when she requested transportation from her husband to pursue the Man of God. When her husband asked her the purpose of her visit to Elisha, she replied, *“It will be all right.”*
The Shunammite woman was speaking life into her situation. She guarded her mouth when Gehazi, the servant of Elisha, approached her and questioned her regarding the well-being of herself, her husband, and the child, but she answered, *“It is well.”*
Even when she approached Elisha and took hold of his feet, she guarded her mouth and didn’t speak death. Elisha prayed to the LORD and the Power of God through the willingness of Elisha resulted in the healing of her son.
What a powerful example to follow! Even in the midst of trials and tribulations, guard your lips, speak God’s word, and watch your mouth!
Amen
DAY 3
God hears everything we say, including compliments and complaints. Be careful to guard your mouth and not say anything that contradicts God’s will for you as it relates to his promises in Christ Jesus.
Our mouths set us back when we speak from our emotions and feelings.
Our mouths propel us forward when we speak God’s promises in faithful expectation.
It is vital for anyone who says they believe and trust God to watch their mouths as His plan of good and purpose is brought to fruition in their lives. In Numbers 13, the LORD told Moses to send men to spy out the land of Canaan (the land that he had already promised to give the sons of Israel).
The twelve spies went on a forty-day excursion to learn more about the land, and when they returned at the end of the forty days they reported to Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the sons of Israel the land’s abundant prosperity flowing with milk and honey.
The spies even showed them the land’s fruit, a single cluster of grapes, pomegranates, and figs, but right after complimenting the land’s produce and abundance, they complained about the people in the land. Caleb quieted the people.
That is interesting to read. I believe Caleb was aware that the tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit (Proverbs 18:21). Caleb spoke life and agreed with God’s word by saying, “Let us go up at once and take possession of it; for we will certainly conquer it.” But the other spies except Joshua continued speaking death and defeat, thus creating a chain reaction with the Israelites to murmur against Moses, Aaron, and the LORD.[Numbers 14:1-38]
By not watching their mouths, the Israelites who complained died in the wilderness.
By not watching their mouths, the Israelites who complained, their children were set back forty years before they entered the Promised Land.
By not watching their mouths, the ten spies who brought back the bad report of the land died by a plague before the LORD.
Caleb and Joshua remained alive out of the men who went to spy out the land. Additionally, God promised that they would enter into the Promised Land, and their descendants would take possession of it.
Let this be a reminder to guard your lips, check your heart, and watch your mouth!
It is well
Amen
