Well, Hello there 👋🏾

I’m back with another post this time it’s about this 40 day journey I went on. Most of my blogs have had some type of scripture reference attached to it and this one will too, but I thought “why don’t I just speak from my heart.” So here we go, back on April 23rd I decided to do a 40 day Surrender Fast, I needed clarification on some things and I needed to be able to make sure I was going in the right direction. I know some of you are like 🙄 “great another post about fasting and praying,” listen I feel you, slightly. But see here’s the thing, this wasn’t just your normal fast (food, water, etc.) Like I actually had to seek God (which you should do anytime you decide to fast) about what it was I needed to rid myself of. I kept hearing silence 🤫🙊, now of course I’m confused as to what that actually means and what that looks like but hey it’s from God and He knows what I need so that’s what I go with. Silence for me during those 40 days was No TV, No Secular Music, No Gossip, No Idle Chatter, No Social Media, etc. Like I really needed SILENCE………………….

So here it is two months before my 30th birthday and I begin this 40 Day Surrender Fast, can I just tell you how much I needed this fast without really knowing I needed it. Listen to me when I tell you that God knows EVERYTHING, (you’re not surprised by that, cause you know that already.) I was shocked at how much had been revealed to me during that time frame, I mean showing me friendships, relationships, my future, jobs (career), family, etc. Like seriously some of the things revealed to me were mind blowing, but I needed that. I knew God had something big in store for me and I had to be prepared for it. Everything he has you going through now is for a purpose, Romans 8:28 – So we are convinced that every detail of our lives is continually woven together to fit into God’s perfect plan of bringing good into our lives, for we are his lovers who have been called to  fulfill his designed purpose (The Passion Translation.) Between this verse, Jeremiah 29:11 and a host of other scriptural verses I had my mind renewed and refreshed for what was to come.

What I realized during this time is how much my mind was focused and stayed on Jesus. Did other things try to creep in.? Of course, that’s the enemies job to get you so off course that it feels difficult to get back on course. You end up feeling so distant, displaced, off centered and overpowered. But thank God He already won and overcame any and every temptation that the enemy can try and throw your way. 1 Corinthians 10:13 (TPT) – We all experience times of testing, which is normal for every human being. But God will be faithful to you. He will screen and filter the severity, nature, and timing of every test or trial you face so that you can bear it. And each test is an opportunity to trust him more, for along with every trial God has provided for you a way of escape that will bring you out of it victoriously. I must say that those 40 Days were so refreshing and eye opening, I encountered love, peace, joy, and grace like never before. Most importantly I overcame every test and trial that came my way, God really showed himself to me in a new light and I couldn’t be any more proud to be his daughter. I Am The Daughter of a KING 👑.!
