What food did you eat after the fast? While having a talk with my kids about the temptation of Jesus, a teaching class became more like a highlight point for the Holy Spirit to minister through. After Jesus’ fasting, He wanted food. Immediately after His period of waiting on the Lord, His body reacted by being hungry. Satan saw this hunger as an opportunity to present his offer. The enemy always sees our hunger — most times after the wait — the enemy sees our taste for that which we waited for, and he comes to present a counter alternative.
But just like Jesus, would we immediately sense Satan's ability to take advantage of our hunger and feed us his diet — and reject him? Or rather, embrace his lies to feed our hunger?
The hunger could be a marital partner, the alternative to raising a child, the business structure, the career path, the health issue. What food would you eat to satisfy the hunger in your spirit and also the physical pangs that cry out within you?
After the fast, the praying, the seasons of waiting — the devil comes and questions our sonship with God. The promises the Lord has spoken to us — he challenges them and tells us he has a better offer: the world, the glory, the liberty — if we could choose his way.
Most times, after the confirmation and the promises, we go into a period of hunger. After I was prophetically told that I would bear a child, the periods ceased. The child became more rebellious after God gave you the strategy to raise them. The marriage worsened. But all this hunger could only be answered by constant posture through the Word of God.
Recently, after going on a fast and receiving promises from God, two days later I was met with a mail stating a rejection from a company I had applied to. But God cannot lie. By faith, we press into every word He has given us — because God cannot lie.
Revive with JJ family — God cannot and will not lie to you.
Stay Revived!
