i’m DoNe wiTh ThE FasT_
Yesterday, for the last three-week-period i have done my fast. Actually this wasn’t my first fast, but in my opinion this fast was very unique and challenging. Some people called it as Daniel Fasting, and as its name, i fasted like Daniel did. At that time, Daniel didn’t eat all the king’s meals and in today’s age those meals were represented by all the products connected to animals, such as meat, milk, egg, and all the food products containing those things. Honestly, at he beginning i was so reluctant to do this that i missed the first-two-day. I thought that this fast would be useless and good-for-nothing activity. Strangely, God put me on the condition that forced me to do this fast and at last i started fasting on Monday. I did that because the aim that God told me. My aim at that time was to prove that there was no works of flesh [symbolized by animal products] took part of my life and nothing but Jesus could chain me. I just wished that God would do His job and made me strong thus i can pass this through because i knew that this wouldn’t be that easy.
After 17 days of fasting, i realize that i seemed forgot the main purpose of this fast, related to Indonesia. So i ask Him what He wanted to say to me about this nation. I said that i didn’t want to end up this fast without revelation from God. And God simply said this to me: "There are so many righteous people in this nation, but there are only a bit commited people that wanna stand for this nation. In which group are you belong to??". Hearing that, i simply checked my self and found that i had no pride of Indonesia. God reminded me to Sodom and Gomorrah’s story. What had happened in Sodom and Gomorrah at that time, had been happening in Indonesia, didn’t you realize that?! And God is looking for those people who have His heart for Indonesia. This revelation is incredible for me because it makes me keep asking God to reborn Indonesia inside my heart. Finally, i dare to say that i have no regret doing this fast, though sometimes i still sin but God strenghten me day by day. I wish this revelation also make you who read this passage realize that we can choose whether we’ll stand for this nation or not and then God’ll make His decision whether He’ll destroy or keep this nation. That’s what we have to keep in mind. Hope that you don’t make wrong decision. God speed_
