The Lord's Table II Testimony:
Carolyn
I never thought I could fast this long. Even when I began the Lord Table 1, I didn't think I could get through my fast day and now look what God has done in my life. The greatest benefit is being in the Word so much more than just my normal quiet time. Then studying John 15 and the armour has helped me to trust Christ, because He has been the one taking me every step of the way. The challenges were nothing compared to the benefits. Sometimes making sure I sat down at the computer and typing my answers in, when I had printed the lesson and pondered and wrote them in during the day. Another challenge was weighing every day, I sometimes felt too focused on my weight. Not chewing foods has not been a challenge to me at all and that surprised me too. My mentors, Sheryn and Judy, have been awesome and encouraging and helpful. Besides my salvation, this has been one of the best spiritual markers for me. This has cleansed me of the sin of gluttony with food and laziness in exercising 30 minutes a day. Now I feel undisciplined if I'm not walking and only eating to sustain life and glorify Christ through my body, His temple! Thank you Mike for obeying the Lord and showing the way ~ JESUS!
