Do you ever feel confused about something and just don't know what to do? In other words, you've been trying to figure it out but the more you try to figure it out, the more frustrated you become. Too many times, people and things can confuse us that we don't know what to do. Every now and then, you'll reach a point in life when you think one thing, but it doesn't quite make sense. Confusion has a way of knocking on your door and all that will seem logical is to sit back and wonder. However, when you sit back and wonder without taking any spiritual action, you'll find yourself in a state of more confusion.
In this life, I've discovered that problems come into our life to teach us how to depend on Almighty God. Whenever you think you can handle your mess by yourself, you fail to see what God is able to do in the midst of uncertainty. Anytime you need clarification, the first thing you need to do is take it to the Lord in prayer. Rather than run to everybody, your first choice should be calling on God. Think about it for a moment - if you got a problem, why not take it to the problem-solver? Once you realize that God knows you, you begin to understand that He's in control.
In this spiritual journey, you must learn the importance of fasting for clarity. Let me help you out. Unless you learn to fast from certain things and sacrifice what's important to you in order to hear from God, you'll always be baffled. I want you to get into your spirit that fasting will help you gain clarity from God about what to do and how to do it. Don't get fooled into thinking that fasting is difficult because once you begin fasting, you take your eyes off what pleases the flesh and allow God to feed your spirit. That's right; you need to focus on God, the One who saved and sanctified you. When you fast for clarity, you'll hear God speaking to you and letting you know that it's going to be okay. Sacrificing for God shows how serious you are for clarity.
In speaking through the prophet Isaiah, God said to the people of Israel, "Is this not the fast that I have chosen: To loose the bonds of wickedness, To undo the heavy burdens, To let the oppressed go free, And that you break every yoke?" Please don't miss this. Fasting with a spiritual purpose allows God to intervene into your life and your situation. That's my word for you. If you want to see a difference in your life, start fasting. Clarity comes with a commitment to your relationship with God.
