What Is Fasting And Why Should I Do It? By sister tina and brother dino Introduction by brother dino: Many Christians who are new to The Faith ask, “What is Fasting and why should I do it?” The answers to these and all questions pertaining to life and godliness are found in The Living Word of God! Below are two short lists revealing the top scriptural answers to these two questions. What Is Fasting? 1. Fasting helps subject our Bodies to our Spirits. (I Cor 9:27) 2. Fasting is disciplining the Body, Soul and Spirit. (Prov 25:28) 3. Fasting is subordinating our Fleshly desires, to our Spirit. (Gal 5:17) 4. Fasting helps set the priorities in our lives. (Mt 6:33) 5. Fasting is longing after God. (Ps 63:1-2) Why Should We Fast? 1. Honor God (Mt 6:16-18, Luke 2:37, Acts 13:2, Mt 5:6) 2. Humble Yourself (2 Chron 7:14-15) 3. Discerning Healing (I Cor 11:30, James 5:13-18, Isaiah 59:1-2) 4. Deliverance from Bondage (Mt 17:21, Is 58:6-9) 5. Revelation - God’s Vision and Will (Dan 9:3, 20-21, Dan 10:2-10, 12-13) 6. Revival - Personal and Corporate (Acts 1:4, 14, 2:16-21, Joel 2:12-18) 7. Repentance - Personal Failures (Ps 51: Jer. 29:11-14, James 4:8-10) And remember Brothers and Sisters, one of the most important factors of Fasting is becoming properly focused, determining the intention and expectation of your Fast! Dont wait until the time of Fasting is at hand to begin to become focused. Begin contemplating in advance and ask yourself... Why am I Fasting? Is it for Spiritual Renewal, for Guidance, for Healing, for The Resolution of Problems, for Special Grace to handle a Difficult Situation? Ask The Holy Spirit to clarify the objectives for your Day of Consecration, Prayer Fasting. This will enable you to pray more specifically and strategically and achieve the desired results! Start preparing and praying about your Fast in the days leading up to The Fast and experience an even stronger, more powerful time in His presence!
