Going on a media fast

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: JeriRose12

I will be on a media fast in August, so will not be posting on here much if at all. Just wanted to post on my whereabouts. I will be seeking God with my heart, soul, mind and strength and writing on my story. He already touched me toinight with laughter in The Spirit, that was truly beautiful. . . . This is the type of filling of The Spirit and encounter with God I will be praying for during this time. Thanks to all who pray for me.

Father, bless my sister during this time as she seeks after You. Lord, continue to birth the words to write for this story. Keep her focused and on task, Lord. Continue to fill her up with Your presence. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen

Lord Jeri asks, now she shall have. She seeks therefore she will find. She knocks, therefore it shall be opened up for her. Lord grant her the desires of her heart--to know You more intimately with her whole heart, mind and soul. Reveal Your secrets to her Lord, that she would come back with revelation knowledge. We pray this in the name of Jesus.

Father God, in the blessed name of JESUS, I too stand in the gap of agreement of these prayer petitions for my dear sweet sister in Christ Jeri Rose. Father God, continue to guide her footsteps and her hands that she shall continue to be an inspiriation to others. Continue to use her Father God, as a vessel to reach out to thousands to bring under YOUR holy wings of protection. This I pray in YOUR holy name, Amen,Amen,Amen...

You, go, Jeri!! I think we ALL need to take a media fast every once in awhile.
We have been without outside TV for a year now- no cable and where we live we cannot pick up a signal with an antenna. My 15 year old is going crazy, but I truly have not missed the garbage at all. I get the news I want when I'm online and only skim the headlines and read the good stuff.
My younger children haven't missed anything. And not having 800 commercials for McDonald's, toys, movies, and junk has been a TRUE BLESSING!!

Lord,
Thank You for our sister Jeri taking this important step in faith. Thank You for giuding her and leading her in the spirit. May her media fast bring a deeper walk with You. May she find peace with her daily quiet time and may she be aligned with others who want to explore a deeper relationship with You. Please align her with other believers who are also fasting. Please lead all of us to reject the world's view of right and wrong and to seek Your Word in our daily lives. Thank You, Jesus! Amen.

Well, four days without posting here may be a record for me.

I want that anointing. . . .but what God does is show you all the gunk inside yourself that keeps you from having that anointing. So pray I get free of all the sin he is showing me -- mostly attitudes and such that NEED TO GO!!!

I thank you for your prayers. The story is getting written.

And I believe when I can deal with all the stuff God is showing me I need to get rid of, I will be closer to Him as I so desire to be.

He has asked me to stay on my fast until I get the story written. Another aspect of soemthing regarding the story has surfaced; pray he shows me how to handle that part.

Lord God, please place Your hand of favour on Jerena.

In fill her with Your Holy Spirit and assign her new duties.

Open her heart and inner eyes to see great things and secret things of which she has no knowledge.

Help her to use these great and secret things for the furtherance of Your Kingdom.

In the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen

Let your spirit flow~~~~~~into Jerena's spirit
and onto her paper.

I thank each and everyone of you for your prayers! They were answered!

It seems like as I wrote revelations were coming to me about the aspects I was dealing with. Not just revelations on what to write, but on things God wanted to teach and show me and things he wants to share with the body of Christ.

I did not feel a strong and heavey anointing like sometimes in my past, but the story flowed through me, and I know God was giving it to me. I felt connected to him through the story!

Oh, yes, it is 12:09 of September 1, so I can get off the media fast now....
AND THE STORY IS FINISHED!!! I finsihed the story about a half hour before midnight! Is that just awesome or what? THAT'S GOD!!!

I have to rewrite, and that may be another media fast. . .

I realized the real reason I was called to fast was to get the story written, more than to get into a mighty anointing. The anointing is on the story. I can feel it when I read it. I actually can not say I wrote this. Or should I say God wrote it through me? The Spirit poured it through me, pretty much. A lot of nights I was writing strong, but had to quit beccause my eyes wouldn't stay open!

I did not write an outline, as I learned to do in my wiritng course (correspondance). I just wrote it from the months of thinking on it, prewriting it, role playing it. . .letting one event flow to the next in a way that made sense. When I didn't know how to proceed I prayed and God was faithful to show me. Many times I would be typing along without a clue what the next event was going to be. And then I would just have a particular thing happen and say, "Of course! That's perfect!" Anyway, it was a really awesome, fun, great experience!!!

TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!!

Thank You Lord for breakthrough!

Through this story, God has called me to what I call "an anointing fest" or "40 days of purification." It is praying to be purfied of things I've seen, watched, read, heard, etc. that are less than morally pure. So much stuff gets in our minds and souls from just living down here. . . .I want to be free of images, etc. that come to mind. (I have no idea what to do about working among ungodly people who talk about such stuff!). But. . . .this is something the story deals with and something I want to deal with in my own life. I was playing a song with a verse about "Purify Your bride" last night. . . .and praying in tongues. I felt something happening. Bill & Alexis mentioned "flushing" dreams, and I think I had one. I like to think of it as God flushing the junk out of my life! I am in the book of Jeremiah (my favortie book) and reading on how they were whoring after other gods, etc., of which the big one in America is sex! So, anyway, I am praying to be pure, and I know it won't be an easy road. Pray that I can endure the fire that will surely come! But this is the challange that God brought to me through this story I wrote. I am allowed to have some media in my life now, but I do not want to go back to the amount I had before. A major source of the impurity in our lives is from the media we allow in our lives (including books in that).

God bless you all for your prayers.

I keep thinking of our TVs when I read this:

16 I will utter My judgments
Against them concerning all their wickedness,
Because they have forsaken Me,
Burned incense to other gods,
And worshiped the works of their own hands.
(Jeremiah 1:16)

In other verses in Jeremiah He talks about the idols fashioned of wood, stone, metal or whatever. . . .how about the idols of today fashioned out of metal, platstic, glass, etc. (our TVs!).

So, I go on TV to check for this show, and it isn't on, and this other show is on. . . .and it's got ungodly, unholy, etc. content. . . .I am going to stay off TV for the rest of the 40 days, if possible. If I want to watch Christian TV, I have the TBN media player downloaded on my computer. I can honestly say I don't miss TV like I thought I would! I got my life back in many ways!!! There is life outside that little (or not so little, anymore) box!!! I felt free not having that constant noise going, though everyone around me had TV or radio or video games or something going (it was another part of my family who was on the media fast). I could think for myself, not have the TV show thinking for me! I was raised on no TV, and in my first apartment I had none. In those days I was so creative, writing, drawing, painting T-shirts and making veils (another dream of mine). I wrote and wrote and wrote. . . . And I used to read all the time, too. Getting TV into my life was not a positive thing, for sure!

God bless.
