‘“Moreover, when you fast, do not be like the hypocrites, with a sad countenance. For they disfigure their faces that they may appear to men to be fasting. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face’ Matthew 6:16-17
Isn’t it interesting that when Jesus was talking to His disciples He did not say “if” but “when” you fast? Which means the expectation is that we are to fast at some point. There’s a lot said about prayer but not necessarily as much is said about fasting, even though the combination of the two done with understanding does amazing things in the life of a believer.
This series we will look at why we should fast, the benefits to us (physical and spiritual) and some of the types of fasts we can undertake using illustrations from the Bible.
Our prayer is that the Holy Spirit will open our understanding and give us the grace to see the purpose of fasting from His perspective and also give us the grace to out into practice what He reveals to us. Click Here to download the series.
