John 4:32-36
" But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”
Then his disciples said to each other, “Could someone have brought him food?”
“My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work. Do you not say, ‘Four months more and then the harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest. Even now the reaper draws his wages, even now he harvests the crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together. "
This has been standing out to me as I have been thinking on fasting and living in the spirit versus the flesh...
The only food I need is
1. doing the will of God
2. finishing his work
Thats it... it is that simple... It is not about the fancy spices and all that jazz... its about embracing the manna and not desiring the food of the Egyptians who we have been freed from (Exodus/Numbers) - the clutches of sin that we have already been freed from... moving from earthly to heavenly.
