This mindset is preventing true success from flowing in our lives. When we wait for it to come to us, we miss the point of what it really is.

Day 5: Today we’re fasting from the thought that says: “Someone or something is missing in my life.”
This idea that something is missing–is what often leads to failure, sadness and huge mistakes in our lives. It also can make us angry or bitter at someone for NOT being to us what we needed them to be.

What if I don’t make it through this financial trouble; what if I don’t make it through this sickness; what if I don’t make it through this trial, etc.
We must eliminate this from our thought life, and our vocabulary. Even if you rarely think this, it’s a mindset that the devil subtly uses to suggest the possibility of failure.

When things don’t go our way, we sometimes have this nagging thought that we’re not holy enough or there’s too much wrong in our lives to ‘qualify’ for God’s blessing or favor. “I’m not good enough.” “I haven’t prayed enough”, etc.
Today we’re letting go of this destructive mindset. We’re ridding ourselves of a “merit-based” relationship with God.
All our lives we were told, ‘you get what you deserve.’ Well, the truth is, we all deserve judgment and hell. BUT GOD! (Don’t you love those two words?!!!!!) Ephesians 2—but God being rich in mercy…doesn’t give us what we deserve…

DAY 2: Today we’re going to fast from what I call the “survival mentality."

Today we begin a brand new 40-day journey of “fasting” from wrong thinking; “fasting” from failure to success; from mediocrity to greatness. We will eliminate mentalities of failure and adopt mentalities of success. Fasting from wrong thinking begins with believing that: As a man thinks, so is he. So, lets THINK God’s way and experience His success.
Romans 12:2 (NKJV)
2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
Everything is so weary and tiresome! No matter how much we see, we are never satisfied. No matter how much we hear, we are not conten.
Ecclesiastes 1:8
“A word of kindness and a loaded revolver will get you a lot more than a word of kindess alone.” Thus thinks the cynic.
The cynic flatters himself or herself a hard-eyed realist, a down-to-earth, unfazed, practical person of experience—especially in comparison with “the idiots who maintain some kind of fool hope or optimism.” The cynic has been there, done that, and been disappointed. Won’t do that again—no way! Won’t feel that way again—not on your life! Won’t be tricked into hope—too street-smart for that. The cynic has learned that when the person with experience meets the person with money, the one with experience usually ends up with the money, and the one with money ends up with experience.
