I would like your opinions about fasting as a spiritual discipline for Christians. I have never fasted before, but for some reason, its been heavily on my mind, the past couple of days. Some people make it a habit to fast one day each week, and seem to really benefit from doing so. Of course, not everyone can or should fast, because of medical conditions. It was common-place for people to fast in both the Old and New Testament times. Jesus Himself fasted. And He even said, WHEN you fast, not IF you fast, with regard to not making an attention-seeking spectacle of yourself when you do. So the way He spoke of it...it sounds like it was a practice that was commonly done. Im basing that on something I read yesterday, which seemed to make sense to me. But I really dont know...again, I have no experience with it, and wanted to get your opinions about it, as well as hear about anyones personal experiences with it.
