Fast Track To Freedom

Fast Track To Freedom

 

 

My wife, Bonnie, prayed for ten years for God to deliver her from cigarettes. She tried everything from patches to gum. Nothing worked. Then she read this manuscript. She asked the Lord to show her what to fast from. She was also a huge coffee drinker. Coffee and cigarettes went hand in hand for her. It kept coming up from the Lord to fast from coffee but she kept ignoring it. The Lord wanted her to train her flesh to obey her. Then the Lord told me to advise her to fast from coffee, even though I did not know He was already talking to her about it. So, with that confirmation, she went ahead and gave up the coffee. Two days later, God delivered her from a thirty-four year addiction to cigarettes.

How Fasting Helped Rush Limbaugh

I can remember driving down the road a couple of years ago listening to famed talk show host Rush Limbaugh describe the events which led to an addiction to pain killers. It was at the end of his regular three hour broadcast. When the show was over, we were told, he was immediately heading to an unnamed clinic where he would be secluded and treated for five weeks. That, we can only assume, is exactly what he did. No one, outside of a select few, saw or heard anything from him for a full five weeks. Guest hosts filled in on the show every day. He was treated by persons specializing in addictive behaviors and when the time was over and the drugs were purged out of his system, he came back to the airwaves a conquering hero. I listened intently as he described the process by which he found freedom. While I do not completely discount the psychological treatment he received, I do not believe it was the ultimate factor which brought about his freedom. He could have received such treatment at home. His financial means would have allowed for that. I believe he, and the specialists, recognized that the severity of the addiction demanded and overwhelming response. He fasted from the luxuries of home and the environment which enabled the addiction. The fast, along with the personal conviction he had and the prayers of people which must have numbered in the millions, was ultimately responsible for the victory. Well done, Rush.
