Ebooks are designed for reading and have few connections to your library.
At some point in your Christian walk you may have fasted from food, television, or other things in order to refocus and rekindle your relationship with Christ. Fasting may even be a frequent part of your prayer life. But have you ever fasted from words? The truth is that even if you consider yourself to be a positive person, you still use damaging words that plague your life and rob you of the spiritual growth you desire.
Change your words. Change your life.
The Forty-Day Word Fast focuses on several biblically sound mechanisms to help you change your words and your life. Not only will your vocabulary change, your heart also will be transformed in just forty days. “For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks” (Matt. 12:34 nkjv). With this guaranteed effective form of fasting you will be challenged to eradicate from your speech all words of...
- Judgment
- Criticism or sarcasm
- Negativity
- Complaining
- Gossip
Top Highlights
“As powerful as negative words are, the fasting of such words has a reciprocal impact that is mightier. The great power negative words have over positive words begins to work in reverse. Every time we hold our tongue and don’t make those negative comments, others consider us wise for our silence. Every time we put a halt to that critical thought we were about to utter, we bring our minds and body under control. Every time we don’t speak that negative word, we distance ourselves from our past failures. Every time we don’t complain, we reinforce gratefulness in our lives. Every time we don’t pass gossip on to others, we purify our lives so other people have less to gossip to others about us.” (source)
