On the subject of fasting, over 10 yrs. ago I was going thru a very
difficult trial with my oldest son. I fasted alot for him and the whole
sitiuation, God spoke to me several times that this same son would be
saved, even though it seemed the devil had a stronghold in his life.
This past year my son gave his life to God in the most sincere way . It
has been yrs. since i fasted and prayed about this situation intently,
but alas God has kept His promise to me. I believe God honored my prayer
and fasting because I've seen the results of the effort.It might seem
insignificant to some people but when your childs soul is dangling over
hell, it is important to you. I thank God for hearing my cry, I've seen
many other young people in similar circumstances who are far from God
and His people. just a comment, Sis. Conant
