YOUR OWN PERSONAL AWAKENING
I had several dreams last night that were relevant to current circumstances in my life. My wife had a dream that corresponded with a previous event in my life that she knew nothing about. My sixth sense or spiritual sonar is on high alert. I am expectant in my fasting frame of mind. The rest of my five senses are following suit.
God has created us in His image and likeness. Our five senses are gateways to an awareness of His presence. "Taste and see that the Lord is good." Psalm 34:8 On the fifth day of creation, God created the birds and sea creatures. The earth had been made ready to receive animal life. Man was created on the sixth day as well as the rest of the animals when the earth was ready to receive them.
Fasting makes all of your senses enter into a state of greater awareness. Allow your whole heart, soul, strength and mind to come alive in love and share it. Luke 10:27 You are entering into a "fasting sweet-spot" as your five senses get ready for God to show Himself on a deeper level.

DAY FIVE WORD
SEE
1 Samuel 16:7
But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."
HEAR
John 8:9
They listened to Him, and then they began going out, conscience-stricken, one by one, from the oldest down to the last one of them, till Jesus was left alone, with the woman standing there before Him in the center of the court.
TASTE
Psalm 119:103
How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
SMELL
Daniel 3:27
Not a hair on their heads was singed, and their clothing was not scorched. They didn't even smell of smoke!
TOUCH
Psalm 115:4-8
Their idols are silver and gold, the work of human hands.
They have mouths, but do not speak; eyes, but do not see.
They have ears, but do not hear; noses, but do not smell.
They have hands, but do not feel; feet, but do not walk;
and they do not make a sound in their throat.
Those who make them become like them; so do all who trust in them.

DAY FIVE PRAYER
We are fearfully and wonderfully made in Your image and likeness O God. Our eyes haven't seen and our ears haven't heard and our minds can't begin to conceive the depth and width of Your love. Enlighten and heighten our senses to know You more. Bring us to a place where every part of our being is alive with You. Let us become Your breath. Let us become your river of life. Let your kingdom come now, Lord Jesus.
Amen.
Amen.
DAY FIVE DEEP THOUGHTS
I once hugged a homeless man who smelled very badly. He came into our youth center several times a week and nobody wanted to be near him. He wanted food, but beneath his filthy, smelly, gruff exterior, he was a broken heart yearning for love. I began to notice that when I focused on giving him a touch of love, my sense of smell changed. My hug touched his heart. His words of gratitude came to my ears. We both tasted God's grace.
