Spiritual Disciplines
Fasting
Matthew 6:16-18
Simply put, fasting is the voluntary abstinence from food for spiritual purposes.
When Jesus taught on fasting, he would say “when you fast”, not “if you fast”.
Fasting reminds us that we can get by without most things in our lives for a time, but we cannot get by without God.
Fasting is voluntarily turning up the heat in our lives.
It is both physical and spiritual and it builds our faith muscles so that we can withstand the bigger contests that come our way.
Our hunger pangs also remind us to lift our voice up to God.
When we fast in our repentance, it is not an attempt to punish ourselves for our past sin, but as a commitment and preparation for our future righteousness.
Determine the purpose of the fast. Is it to seek God, to seek direction, to pray for others?
There is so much potential power in seeking God in this way that Satan will do whatever necessary to derail your plan.
Remember that your fast is about you and God, not about impressing others, or even yourself.
Remember that we are not twisting God’s arm, we are trying to draw closer to Him.
The goal is spiritual not physical. If you want to loose weight, find a way to eat healthier, if you want to draw closer to God, try fasting.
Why Fast?
How to Fast.
Pitfalls of Fasting.
If you’re satisfied with the status quo of your spiritual life, then just go ahead and ignore everything I’ve said today.
If you’re ready to move on to another level, and you’re not fasting as a part of your walk with Christ already, then I’d say, start right away.
