“Every mighty move of God began with a heart that was communing with God… Fasting is a means of communing with God…
To use good things to our own ends is always the sign of false religion… Fasting is a good thing, but they we’re using it to attention seek…
Fasting should be done to connect with God- this is the first and most important reason to fast… this is our purpose in being… fasting at its heart should reconnect us with our purpose…
Fasting must forever center on God… If our fasting is not unto God, we have failed.
Physical benefits, success in prayer, power, spiritual insights—these must never replace God as the center of our fasting… That is the only way we will be saved from loving the blessing more than the Blesser.
Fasting reveals the things that control us…
Fasting helps us find perspective in life (Focus)…
Our body is to be the servant and not the king… Media should be a tool to inform us, not control us…
Jesus did not say “If you fast,” neither did He say “You must fast.”
This should be a regular discipline within every believer’s life that can physically do it…
What should we do during our fast…
• Journal during your fast…
• Prayer and fasting is more about changing us than changing our situation…
• Filling the time we would spend eating with prayer instead…”
