Today we're fasting from the thought that says, "How could I ever recover from this loss?" LET THIS PERMEATE YOUR MIND: GOD IS A GOD OF RESTORATION Joel 2:25–26 says, "I will restore the years that have been lost." Whether it’s l...

Today, we are fasting from anger—thoughts like, "I feel angry," or, "They make me so mad." Anger is a powerful emotion that obviously can hurt ourselves and others. It leads to bad decisions, damaged relationships, stress, and physical sickness. DISCOVER THE POWER WITHIN YOU Remember, anger comes from a sense of powerlessness. When we feel powerless to change something, we get afraid, leading us t...

Our Fast From Wrong Thinking is working! Stay on this journey with me. These seeds will produce the great harvests you have always wanted and needed in every area of your life. Today we’re fasting from the thought that says, "What’s wrong with me?" The constant awareness of our "falling short" is where the devil and religion wants to keep us.

Today we are fasting from the thought that says, "I feel stressed out." Stress is a powerful mindset that we are going to dismantle. It is a collection of thoughts or fears that bear down on your mind until they penetrate you and control your emotions, your health, and your relationships. The real enemy is thinking that you have to get rid of the enemy. Psalm 23:5 says that He prepares a table (ce...

Today we're fasting from the thought that says, "This is a scary time to be living in." When you look around at all the news & evil in the world—whether it's natural disasters, terror, rumors of wars, disease, depression, etc., it can be pretty scary. There is much fear in this world; but it doesn't have to control you or your loved ones! In Luke 10:19, Jesus said: "Behold I have given you aut...

In Mark 4, when the disciples tried to cross over to the other side of the sea in the boat, they were overwhelmed by the storm that struck their ship. They feared for their lives, bailing out water furiously. Have you ever been in a storm? The waters crash against you. You feel helpless. You feel alone. You cry out, "Lord, where are you? Don’t you care?" The disciples forgot one small detail in th...

Today we're fasting from the thought that says, "I tried to forgive, but I just don't feel it." Many people are held back in life because they are waiting for the feeling of forgiveness before they let go. In the meantime, unforgiveness continues its damage against them, while they wait for their feelings to change. Your feelings won’t change until your thoughts do! 2 Corinthians 5:7 says, "We liv...

Today we are fasting from the thought that says: "I just can't forgive myself." Who hasn't thought that at one time or another? The devil would love to keep us in self-condemnation for the things we have done or failed to do. He knows it paralyzes us and prevents us from making the impact that God intended for us. James 2:13 says, "Mercy triumphs over judgment." His mercy toward you TRIUMPHS over...

Today we are fasting from the thought that says, "I feel like I've failed," or "I've failed in my relationship with God, in my faith, and in my life, etc." The feeling of failure can be disheartening and depressing. It can keep us in a cycle of defeat. YOU HAVE COMEBACK DNA IN YOU Even in what seems like the worst situation, the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in you. Expect your...

Today we are fasting from the thought that says, "It's just so hard to be a Christian." We are going to break this mentality once and for all, because it is the single most often misunderstood concept that is keeping believers defeated. Jesus said to take His yoke because it's easy and His burden is light. That's the grace of God! He did the heavy lifting, and now our job is to enter into His rest...

Most people know the benefits of fasting from food, but fasting from wrong thinking has been an untapped treasure & force—until now! As you continue this amazing journey and tap into this power, you will be transformed! Today we are fasting from the thought that says, "I don't have enough." This is a mindset that says, "I don’t have enough money. I don’t have enough time. I don’t have enough f...

Today we are fasting from the thought that says, "I can't stop." Quitting a habit, a sin, or an addiction can be one of the hardest things in life; but it becomes easy when we realize Jesus not only died to forgive our sins, but also to give us power over sin, and to free us from being in bondage to anything. Proverbs 23:7 says, "As a man thinks, so is he." Your thoughts will shape your decisions;...

Today we are fasting from the thought that says, "My life is not that special." Though hard to admit, this mentality is often under the surface of our lives. It's a mindset that hems us into a mediocre and boring existence. THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!! I have a destiny. I am chosen by God. I cannot go unnoticed by Jesus. He sees me, and recognizes me, and calls me His own. He is coming over to my house...

Today we are fasting from small thinking . THIS IS GOING TO CHANGE EVERYTHING! Small thinking produces small living. If we set up small expectations for our lives, that's what we'll get. The problem with that mindset is that God is bigger than we ever imagined. He has bigger plans for us more than we’ve ever dreamed. Time to ditch small thinking! THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!! I give up small thinking. I...

Today we are fasting from the thought that says, "God is far from me." We must learn to not only discern between right and wrong, but we must discern between right and almost right. It’s almost right to ask God to come down and help us. It sounds holy. It sounds humble. But you will truly be free when you discover, He is already here. Emmanuel means, "God WITH us". When Jesus came to the earth, He...

Today we are fasting from the thought that says: "That's just the way I am." One of the things that limits us and keeps us defeated is the opinion we have of ourselves. Over time, we begin to accept a version of ourselves that isn’t God’s version. We also accept other people’s stigmas of us: "He’s shy"; "She’s self-absorbed"; "He’s all talk"; "She’s not the sharpest knife in the drawer". We often...

Today we are fasting from the thought that says, "I haven't done enough." When things don't go our way, we sometimes have this nagging thought that we're not holy enough or haven't prayed enough to qualify us for God's blessing or favor. THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!! I let go of the mindset that tells me I’m not holy enough, or I haven’t done enough to receive answered prayers. I receive His promises by...

Today we are fasting from the thought that says, "I can't shake my past." Often our past is what limits us and keeps us defeated. THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!! I am a new creation in Christ Jesus; and no matter how bad my past is, it’s not only forgiven—it’s washed away!  I am more than a conqueror, and I will not be pushed around by memories or people from my past. Because of the blood of Jesus, I...

Today we're fasting from the thought that says, "I feel depressed." We have all felt it at times. Depression is now the leading cause of disability in the world. So often, depression is anger turned inward at ourselves for our shortcomings and mistakes. Perhaps you’ve thought: "Life’s a drag; what’s the use; I’ll never be happy." These thoughts are designed to rob you of the joy and confidence tha...

Today we are fasting from the thought that says, "I’m feeling offended." We all know what it’s like to be treated wrongly or unfairly and to be talked about or lied about. It’s easy to become offended and feel that we have the right to feel that way. But this is a destructive trap. THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!!! I am free from being offended. I am free from the emotions of offense, bitterness, and the r...

Today we're fasting from the thought that says, "I feel like a victim." Viktor Frankl survived the Nazi death camp at Auschwitz by defining ultimate freedom as the ability "to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances." The worst prison in the world is the one we put ourselves in—our mind. THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!! No one can keep me down! I am not a victim. I am a victor. I take full...

Today we are fasting from the thought that says, "It’s impossible." Jesus said, "All things are possible to him who believes". What is in your life today that you have given up on or considered impossible? Whatever it is (provided it’s legal!), don’t ever give up. Never, never, never give up. One Easter weekend, a major political story broke in America. The New York Times asked me, "Since this sto...

Today we're fasting from what I call the "problem-focused" mentality . The problem-focused mentality just sees and reports the problem. THINK AND SAY IT!!!! I believe that God will give me the interpretations to life’s problems and that He will bless me with wisdom and answers. I believe there is a solution to every problem because I have the mind of Christ. I welcome the Holy Spirit to pray throu...

Today we are fasting from the thought that says, "I Feel Anxious." All of us deal with anxiety at various times in our lives. Some of the symptoms of anxiety include: heart palpitations, tension, fatigue, nausea, chest pain, shortness of breath, stomach aches, and headaches. You don't have to live this way. THINK IT AND SAY IT!!!! Anxiety has lost its power over me. When I feel anxious, it is a si...

There is no higher or deeper desire in the heart of mankind than happiness. It is the single most intoxicating emotion that drives every decision and pursuit of mankind. People have been looking for happiness—trying to buy it, trade for it, or discover it—since time began. But it's not hard to find. THINK IT AND SAY IT!!! I have the fullness of joy and happiness in life because I am in God’s prese...
