FASTING……
Matthew 6:16-18
When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret will reward you.
Fasting….. When you hear that word, what do you think?
Have you ever done it?
What was the purpose?
Was it God led or self led?
Did you get what you were looking to get out of it?
All of that, I want to know it all
Why did you feel a need to Fast or Why do you think you were prompted to do so?
Fasting tells God this…“I need you! I want you! I long for you! You are my Everything, I want more of you!
We fast for that simple reason, just to let Him know, Lord, I ache for the suggestions of Your power right now in this present moment for my life, that hasn’t yet been fully understood to my liking…..
Fasting and ( of course) accompanied with prayer is definitely considered Bible-based discipline that’s highly recommended for all believers no matter the age (As long as they are at an age of understanding) in all parts of the world where we as believer’s exist.
Fasting speaks measures to God … to your body, to your desires, to your overall imperfections, it says loud and clear….. “This is how much I want you, this is how much more important you are to me than food and the pleasing of my flesh ( my way of thinking).”
Check this, When I’m not medicating my body with food, or the human desires of my heart, un- questionable anger, uncontrolled worldly lust, and a host of other things that have nothing to do with God, it is time for us to be real with self and say ” okay” enough is enough…(Matthew 4:4)– But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Fasting exposes it all…..all of the matters of your heart that only God can fix, and you have to admit it and come face to face with it all …and you can’t run from it….
Fasting is for you buddy, ….not for her ( your spouse) them ((your children) or anyone else…nope!! strictly for you boo….
Believe it or not, Fasting helps us realize just how uncentered we are and how much we need
to be connected with the Father and disconnect with the things we find ourselves depending on without conscious knowledge., …
Trust and Believe people!! we all need this in our lives, whether being led to do it or doing it on your own…..You can not go wrong connecting with the Oneness of God …(1 Corinthians 6:17).But whoever is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit
There is nothing like it……
Be Blessed…
