The Delicious Combo

By Graeme • January 26th, 2010

If you have mixed feelings about fasting (I know I do) then you need to listen to this message. What I found helpful was what the “real reason and motives for fasting should be”:

  • An Act of Faith in obedience to God’s Word & devotion towards the Lord. Rom 12:1-3
  • To humble one self before God. Psalm 35:13 & Psalm 69:10-11
  • In repentance for sin and or in seeking deliverance and guidance.  Ezra.9:5,  Neh.9:1
  • To draw closer to God, it reveals an earnestness to glorify God in your body and to bring the flesh under Gods control.
  • To increase ones spiritual power and authority.  Mark.9:29. As Prayer needs Faith Prayer needs FASTING.
  • For our natural hunger to be turned to a spiritual hunger and desire for God.
  • To develop a greater sensitivity to God and the needs of others. The eternal becomes more important than the temporary.

Wally also makes us aware of some practical aspects which are often overlooked in a time of fasting. Let this message help you make the most out of your time of fasting. God will reward you when you fast according to His Word!
