In the Samuel Fast, abstaining from food is an outward demonstration of inward sincerity. While we are in this mode of fasting and prayer, it can generally be accepted that God will prompt some things to our heart that we need to not just repent about but also to be reconciled to our spouse, our family, our extended family, or even our brothers and sisters in the Lord.
Proverbs 1:23-33 KJV Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. [24] Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; [25] But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: [26] I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; [27] When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. [28] Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: [29] For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: [30] They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. [31] Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. [32] For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. [33] But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
True repentance always has positive results.
• STEP 3: Separate from Secret Sin
When the Church comes together and begins to repent, the Spirit of the Lord will search us for secret sins. We live in an age where everything revolves around image and very little emphasis is placed on character. If the image fits, then society generally has very little concern with the depth of character. This is the principle of the clean cup that Jesus mentioned to the Pharisees in Matthew 23:25-26. The cup and saucer was clean on the outside but was very soiled on the inside.
Psalms 139:23-24 KJV Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: [24] And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
Four thoughts come from this portion of the fast:
• Backsliders are blinded to sin in their lives. They are generally willfully ignorant of an obligation to God.
• Backsliders are careless about sin in their lives. The fact that a person may have “gotten away” with some of their sin will provide more confidence to take more steps away from God.
• During fasting, God can show hidden sin to the believer—a sin that very well could be prohibiting God’s blessings.
• More adjustments that we need to take are revealed as we continue the Samuel Fast. Fasting has to be an ongoing process, meaning that we have to have a consistent level of fasting weekly or at least monthly.
Sometimes one may fast for two or more separate days, separated by a time of eating. Whereas a two-day fast may produce an intensive examination for sin, there are advantages of two separate days of fasting. The time we spend between our fasts provides opportunity to think through the ramifications of our needs, and our sins may become clearer to us. However it happens, fasting must be more than a one-time event. It must be an action we employ throughout our lives.
The effect of secret sin in our lives can be extremely dangerous. During my days in working in the Intensive Care Units, I noticed that there were a number of victims who would come in from trauma situations. Generally, they would have some blow to the chest and lung region and would exhibit a very small amount of bruising on the outside the problem was with the inside. Their lungs would have been insulted in such a way that the bruising would cause the tiny air sacs within their lungs not to make a proper ox.
Conclusion of the series will be on Wednesday.
