The Lord's Table II Testimony: Francis

I benefited in ways that even I haven't yet realized. My relationship with Jesus these past 20 days was intense. I saw his grace in my whole experience and for that I am totally grateful (not to mention the weight I lost!)

For the most part it was a lot easier than I expected. I did get hungry at first but was able to turn to Christ and be satisfied by him. The last three to five days I experienced many attacks from the enemy and in more than one occasion wanted to give up. But each time God was faithful and pulled me through it. The biggest benefit, was realizing that the only truth I need to burn into my heart is that Jesus died, and rose for my sins. That became freeing of the demons that try to go inside my head. My prayer when I first started this fast was to get a closer relationship to Jesus, and I did. I have relied on him, and appreciated him in ways I never have before. An added benefit is the total weight I've lost. It is incredible and I am truly grateful to God. I lost 18 pounds.
