The 40-Day Sugar Fast: Where Physical Detox Meets Spiritual Transformation Quotes

“The reward for giving and praying and fasting is found in the giving and praying and fasting. Because fasting and praying and giving allow us to experience more of Him. And He is everything. Our reward is the intimacy forged in prayerful conversation with the One who stitched us and knows us and sits enthroned within us and over us.”

“Satan hates you. But for the most part, he pays you no mind as long as you are entangled in sin and struggling with shame. He likes you lethargic and ineffective. He prefers it when you struggle with migraines and emotional instability, when you are irritated with your spouse and your kids and your coworkers. He loves it when you blow up at your family or friends over a sugar-induced spike and crash. However, when you turn to Christ for His free and freeing power, Satan takes offense and goes on the offensive. He hates it when you fast and pray because he knows that each time you go to God rather than to sugar to fill your longings, the Spirit of God floods into the empty places in your heart and life. Satan hates losing ground. When you started your forty-day fast from sugar, you may have anticipated temptation, but you may not have expected the tempter himself.”

“SUGAR IS A STRONGHOLD for many people. Does it hold you back from the good life that God has planned for you? Perhaps over time your sweet tooth has turned into a full-fledged addiction, dictating your days, driving you from one sugary fix to the next. Unfortunately, no sugar fix can fix you. In fact, when you give sugar that job, you’ll end up more broken than before because sugar weakens our physical bodies and clouds our minds.”

“THERE’S NOTHING WRONG with wanting to lose the extra weight you may be carrying around, whether the extra load comes from literal pounds or from pounds of pain. However, for deep and lasting physical and emotional transformation to occur, you first need deep and lasting spiritual transformation. Matthew 6:33 makes it clear: When you turn your eyes, first and foremost, on God, everything else will fall into its rightful place. Conversely, when you look to the scale first, it’s nearly impossible to see past it to the soul.”
