We have passed the 49th hour of prayer and fasting at the altar of The Atlah Church. I issued a report earlier today on the progress of the vigil.
At present I am physically dazed, moving very slow and extremely sleepy. I am beyond hungry now, only my promise to God is keeping me from searching for anything to eat. I am constantly observing the amount of saliva in my mouth that I do not experience a parched throat, and dry lungs.
Spiritually, I am at peace and confident that Jesus will lead me to completion tomorrow at 12 noon. I go back and forth to the altar, kneeling, praying and touching the written prayer letters with my hands and breast. I have received several confirmations of answers and I am still waiting on more to come in.
The Atlah Church sanctuary is truly beautiful. At three AM in the morning, the reflections of the street lights and vehicles coming thru the stain glass windows is breathtaking. The oak pews and the marble floor is a perfect blend of nature creating a strong , yet peaceful presence. Thousands of people have passed thru this nature space, thousands of sermons have been preached and millions of prayers have been uttered in this wonderful room. To God be the glory, hundreds of weddings, hundreds of baby blessings, over a one thousand baptisms and several thousand confessions to Jesus as Lord. At times during this fast the church has felt like The Rock Of Gibraltar, accented by a thick forest of cedar trees.
Fasting helps make one extremely sensitive, and powerfully thankful of every thing God has created.
I will continue to pray for you, please pray for me.
The Manning Report will not broadcast today. It will return on Monday the 26th 2011.
