Mat 9:15 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.
Child, the time to fast is when you cannot discern Me with you. When you feel as if I am absent, I am not far off. You are distracted with the ways of the world and the burdens of your life.
However brief or prolonged, and by whatever method you use to refrain from what is keeping us apart it is a fast recognized by Me. It is a fast of the flesh that I might fill your spirit to overflowing once more.
Fast when you feel I have been taken away. I am only taken away when you cease from calling upon Me. Devote time to Me and you will hear My heart speaking to yours.
With Love Eternal,
Jesus
We need not set apart 40 straight days. Is a few hours of going without comfort of the flesh, and in prayer and deep reflection too much to do to regain our love for the Savior and understand His deep sacrifice in coming to us? Shall the devil keep coming at us, or shall we invite the Bridegroom to come to us as we prepare to receive Him?

About Me

- Statement Of Faith: 1.) I believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, without error as originally given; it is the final and infallible authority in matters of faith and practice. 2.) I believe in the Trinity, one God is Three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 3.) I believe that Jesus Christ is God in the flesh, that He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins, and rose bodily and literally on the third day. 4.) I believe man is by nature lost and in need of a Savior. By repenting of sin and accepting Jesus Christ as our Savior (by faith alone), we become right with God: our sins are forgiven, heaven is our home, and we will live with our Lord and other believers for ever. Good works may evidence our salvation, but we are saved by God's grace apart from our works. 5.) I believe that those who have not received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior will be separated from God and experience His judgment forever. 6.) Jesus will one day return to to establish His Kingdom. He will judge the living and the dead.
