Spiritual Fasting: what is it for, what does it do
Hey Warriors - what are your thoughts and your experiences with fasting?
Only recently has fasting become a regular part of my sacrifice and my offering to God - only to have found it brings clarity in hearing and asking both. I feel so great when I am quiet, deliberate and fasting for God.
In his book “Hunger for God,” John Piper writes: “Christian fasting, at its root, is the hunger of a homesickness for God. Christian fasting is not only the spontaneous effect of superior satisfaction in God, it is also a chosen weapon against every force in the world that would take that satisfaction away.”
WHAT IT IS: Fasting is a biblical way to humble yourself in the sight of God. (Psalm 35:13, NKJV).
WHAT IT DOES: Fasting enables the Holy Spirit to reveal your true spiritual condition, offering the pattern resolution of brokenness -> repentance -> a life transformed.
WHAT IT GIVES YOU: Fasting deepens and strengthens both your confidence and faith in God refreshing you in spirit, body and mind.
