A proposito di questo titolo

I’m going to be completely real with you—there was a version of my life where I felt like I was running a race on a treadmill. I was working hard, I was praying, and fasting felt like punishment. Everything changed when I stopped trying to 'hustle' my way into my future and started fasting my way into it. I’m pulling back the curtain on my personal journals to show you how fasting and prayer changed everything for me— and how it can do the same for you. I hope this episode blesses you.

Back in 2013, I understood the theory of fasting. I knew the benefits. But a consistent routine? That wasn't me. When I tried to fast, I performed woefully. My head ached, I felt dizzy, and honestly, it felt like I was being punished. So, I stopped. But then, my Pastor announced a new fasting regimen for our church. My heart actually sank. My youngest baby was only 12 months old, and my body was still transitioning. But I was determined. I had heard about the physical benefits, but I was hungry for the spiritual ones. I jumped in. And poof! My life transformed. This became my introduction to this dedicated lifestyle. In this episode I’m sharing how fasting took me from a clumsy, tired mum to a travel journalist, top-tier student and today a psychotherapist, and the exact techniques I used to survive the process. POINT 1: CLARITY OF PURPOSE The first thing fasting gave me was divine direction. At the time, I thought I wanted to launch a radio program. I was thinking locally. But as I fasted, God’s imagination took over mine. Through the Holy Spirit, I felt a pull to go back to university for a Post graduate in Guidance and counselling then a Master's in Counselling. My first degree was in English Language, and I was happy with the opportunities it offered me including teaching, marketing and sales but God knew the work I am doing today required that degree. I always say I 'stumbled' into my career, but the truth is, I fasted and prayed into it. Fasting gives you eyes to see the path God has already paved for you. POINT 2: DOORS YOU DIDN’T EVEN KNOCK ON "Fasting opens your inner eyes and then opens physical doors. While I was finishing my university assignments, I got a random phone call. A family friend who founded a travel magazine had an invitation for an all-expenses-paid safari tour in another country. He couldn’t go, and he asked if I would represent the magazine as a destination reporter. I told him I couldn't afford it. He said, 'Everything is paid for. Just bring yourself.' And that trip led to another then another, so for years, I became a travel journalist, visiting countries I never dreamed of. The Holy Spirit knows what you will enjoy! When you fast and speak in tongues, the Spirit of God intercedes for you. As it says in Romans 8:26, 'the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.' A fasted life releases blessings that are ...
