Fasting day 4
It says Fasting day 4 casue i didnt blog on day 3
Wow i have finally gone 4 day's without the use of the internet (with the exception of email and blogger) God's been working in my life heaps over these past few days and i can start seeing the changes play part in my life.
Today however was a challenging one! Not becasue i wanted to use the internet, and not becasue people made it challenging but it was challenging because the devil was tempting me so much, and i didn't feel that i could handle it. I prayed and texted my accountability friend and told him the situation i was in then i went into my room and started doing my devotions!
I overcame the temptation and i didn't give in! I am seeing the breakthrough that Christ was promising me! i just had to walk in it.
You know i don't miss facebook and myspace and msn and all that stuff, because i have found that it was just replacing my time with God, and i cherish my time with God so much more then i did with facebook etc. So i won't end this internet fast until i know that God is my first priority.
This fast has allowed me to get a regular devotions routine with Christ, allowed me to fight off temptation, has seen me spend more time with my family. Given me more time to pray about things like college and work and friends.
I'm almost crying becasue i've seen how great things can be with Christ, im seeing him become my first priority and I realise how much i missed, but not any more. JESUS I LOVE YOU!!!
So i don't know when i will be on facebook again, but i don't really care.
So what's my challenge? I'm not going to ask you to give up things you enjoy (within reason) but i will ask is Jesus your first priority? or do other things get in the way? i know in my life that other things got in the way.
God bless! From me, a sinner saved by grace!

That was a good blog Jake, I'm glad God has been working that way in your life!
I guess the key thing is to make Jesus the priority whether we fast or don't fast, as biblical as it is!
But...
I will keep you in my prayers as you continue to fast.
Love ya Jake!

hey man.. i get ya hey. How quick are we to spend heaps of time on some things, when we wouldn't spend that much time with God. How much time do we waste on the non important things...
good blogging, keep up the good work. i commented on a couple of the posts below...
delusional
plagarism
wishful thinking
sheep
hahah i love it when ppl have bad stuff to say they do it anonymously. I guess they feel safer that way. Grow up and comment un-anonymously. (for those who said bad things anyway)
i hate these blogs where you read about something that you have to change about your life, that may be holding you back from being closer to God.
Dang it Jake, you talk too much truth >.< lol
You dont need facebook anyway, its not that great, and you're proving you CAN live without it. Priase Jesus!
I pray you get even more closer to God through ur fast, and that he reveals more of himself to you.
Keep at it boy! xxxxxxx
