Fasting and revelation to draw near his father.
Jesus fasted for revaluation and we are called to fast for the same reasons. Unless we do not want revaluation or clear understanding we are called and should fast regularly.
In time past there were those that did not want to read the bible or were not allowed to read the bible or it was presented in languages that made it near impossible to read or understand.
Also there were those that did not want most of us to read and seek understanding throughout God's word the Holy Bible as it would reveal man made agendas and control.
Also many individuals were in the past and still are, too lazy and apathetic to dig in, read and seek God's will for each of us in His word. Today as in times past most are more than willing to be led in any direction we are told with no real interest in biblical freedoms and truths.
Today we are free to read, understand and draw nearer than ever to our risen Lord Jesus Christ.
Fasting is an important step in our faith journey, ordained and lived out as part of our saviours life as we read in God's word Jesus was revealed truth and understanding through fasting. This incredible act and it's blessing are available to each of us, but many are discouraged from applying this process in their lives for fear that truth will be revealed or they may die if they don't get the food they want.
In a world were there are 32,000 variations of Christianity and a lot of damaging food, truth may not be a bad revaluation.
I have heard it said that if one fasts, he may become dilutional , weak and faint. That his mind will not work properly. Hmmm is that what happened to Jesus.
Fasting is healthy for body, soul and mind always. And what's the worst that can happen;
- loose weight
- healing in our body
- more time to read God's word
- more time to pray
- more time to talk to God
- more time to hear from God
- more time to understand God
- more time to bless others
So I guess that if these are the worst that will happen during fasting it may not be so bad.
ps - I have never heard of any one dying from a fast, but I have talked to many that said the first few days they felt like they were going to die.

**************HOPE FOR MORE*************
We as the family of the ranch believe there is so much more hope for each of you and us. Our heart is to always live out the love of God and His Son Jesus in a world that is desperate for real love. If you are struggling in any way with were your life is at, then at this moment take a few minutes and slowly say the prayer that Jesus gave us. Many say what good will that do, just do it and see.
If you need a break from the wreckage of life, jump in your car, truck or motorcycle and get on out here to the ranch. There are lots of hearts and hugs awaiting you.
Do you know that it is for the same reason an atheists cannot find God a drug dealer cannot find a police officer. WOW go figure!!!!!!
The Battle River Ranch Camp is a one and first of a kind, entry level faith based, trades and life skills opportunity facility. Offering an option to anyone that has been searching for an opportunity and is serious about finding out their area of strength and work place career possibilities.
Out hope and prayer is to let as many of you know about the ranch as possible so that the hope it will bring, the lives it will change and the encouragement it will provide, can start as soon as possible.
The ranch will be a one of a kind facility and will offer an option to many like no other. When God has a plan and like our friends Mike and Pastor Lyle wisely told us just keep your focus and don't let the distractions pull you away from God's purpose.
Thank you once again for taking the time to view our blog. The Battle River Ranch Camp is a non profit organization that is focused on developing trades, life skills and training opportunities for men and women that are searching and find it difficult to get the opportunities needed to develop a productive and positive life skill.
Many men and women today have no idea about their future or what they could be good at and to how find out their possible skill area or level. We are a faith based and mentor based training facility and our hope is with the help of anyone that has a heart for helping so many to give each person that comes to the ranch an opportunity to find the skills they were created for.
