You bet I did! I did it! I find it hard to believe, 40 days of peanuts and wonderful nuggets to last a lifetime! It was questionable at times, especially when the smell of food surrounded me, but the urgency of the delicate situation that surrounds our nation and the world nations always stood in front of me. I chose to keep fighting for the unborn; the trafficked; the children in demonically oppressed education systems; my brothers and sisters in the Faith, all over the world, who are being oppressed and tortured for acknowledging and worshipping YHWH; the weak; the demoralized; the victims of an unjust department of justice; Israel's protection, etc. Right-ruling is better than food and life.
Let me say this, however. The book of Isaiah in the Bible makes it very clear what YHWH says concerning fasting.
These are His words:
Is not this the fast that I choose:
to loose the bonds of wickedness,
to undo the straps of the yoke,
to let the oppressed go free,
and to break every yoke?
Is it not to share your bread with the hungry
and bring the homeless poor into your house;
when you see the naked, to cover him,
and not to hide yourself from your own flesh?
Then shall your light break forth like the dawn,
and your healing shall spring up speedily;
your righteousness shall go before you;
the glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard.
Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer;
you shall cry, and he will say, ‘Here I am.’
If you take away the yoke from your midst,
the pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness,
if you pour yourself out for the hungry
and satisfy the desire of the afflicted,
then shall your light rise in the darkness
and your gloom be as the noonday.
And the LORD will guide you continually
and satisfy your desire in scorched places
and make your bones strong;
and you shall be like a watered garden,
like a spring of water,
whose waters do not fail.

Oh, may His justice reign down like a flood from heaven, and cleanse this earth in His Truth, His Glory, His magnificent presence as King of all kings and LORD of all lords. Let the call of our hearts be:
Even so, Lord Jesus/Yeshua, come!!
Maranatha!
