There is no greater burden for which to seek the Lord then the salvation of souls. If you have an unsaved friend or family, and we all do, they need to hear of God's love for them, but they also need to understand that there is a very real, very dark, very horrific place for those who do not accept Jesus. The Lord spoke more of hell then He did of heaven. So, as you begin this fast, let your focus be the souls of those close to you who need salvation. Do not be discouraged. Be persistent. Keep praying!
Consider
him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary
and lose heart.
-- Hebrews 12:3 (NIV)
Application: Make a list of unsaved family members and friends and pray for them during this fast.
Remember, fasting and praying is a mighty weapon of spiritual warfare! If you are experiencing obstacles on your first day.... press through! Don't let the enemy of your faith steal your blessing! Pastor Stevens
