Day 15 of 21 tough, tough day

Today was really tough. I felt attacked on all sides. Its like I stirred up a hornets nest. Everything was pretty tame and docile, but then BAM! Its like the darkness didn't mind my fasting much until day 15.

I heard a teaching here a couple of weeks ago that I think applies. Lou Engle said that the enemy doesn't mind holding on for a few days of fasting. On an extended fast, areas of darkness or things that need to be broken off can't hold on though. Also, to move into a new level of authority and anointing the enemy has a right to test our sincerity.

Overall, we are on a 40 day fast. I felt the Lord lead me to push in more during the last 21. So, while doing a Daniel fast like I have before, I did not encounter such opposition. While pushing in harder these last 15 days, the opposition has become like running into a brick wall.

I guess I'm doing something right though.
