Spiritual Disciplines – A Focus on Fasting
What is fasting?
Fasting from a Biblical perspective means not eating any food and instead, with a deeper focus, increase time by drawing closer to God, hearing and communicating with Him.
Is fasting a benefit to me?
YES! Faithful and consistent Biblical fasting results in the spiritual growth and fruitfulness of our “inward man”. Fasting also assists by renewing us these ways: building up, making stronger, sharpening senses, clearer vivid reflections, peaceful and comfort refreshings, clearer directives in decisions making and holy alignment with the Father.
Would you like to…
-Discern the difference between Biblical view & world view of fasting
-Gain added strength to resist strongholds and temptations
-Draw close to God hearing His voice and direction more clearly
-Exercise complete alignment with God’s directives
-Humble yourself, die to self and submit to God’s overall plan
…to strengthen you in your everyday life circumstances?
“When you fast…” Matthew 6:17
Jesus’ being God, found the time, made the time to fast and seek His heavenly Father. How much more we need follow His example as His children.
