    THE SIGNIFICANCE OF FASTING DURING PRAYER - HELPFUL GUIDELINES & HEALTH TIPS

    A. By fasting your saying, "I am serious, Lord." The Bible says to break up fallow ground. When a field isn’t plowed, a hard crust forms. Without exception, all of us get a crust on our spirit. But the promise is that when we break up that fallow ground and seek the Lord, "He comes and showers ...read more

    This message examines the 40 times fasting is found in the Bible and discovers that fasting is not for the super spiritual, but for the super-sorrowful, most often because they realize they are super-sinners.

    Fasting Is Not for Super-Saints One day, Kathy Cash’s husband, of Dallas, Texas, announced to the family that he was going to fast and pray. Ginny, their 5-year-old, had recently learned that fasting meant not eating. “No!” she shouted. “You can’t fast! You’ll die!” Her dad carefully ...read more

    TYPES OF FASTS

    A fast is abstinence from something -- such as television, movies, or other pleasures and amusements--but usually it means not eating food. When Jesus was in the desert, He fasted totally, without food. There is no mention that He went without water. Not drinking water would have been life ...read more

    God isn’t as impressed with our pious religiosity as he is about the way we live our lives.

    Now the Israelites had a problem. They practiced their religion faithfully, and they did everything that was expected, but God didn’t seem to be listening to them. What was the problem? This is a good question. And it’s an important question to ask ourselves as well. God, through his prophet, ...read more

    Although the command is to "Stand fast in the Lord", the Christian has several other options he may choose.

    STAND FAST IN THE LORD "Therefore, my beloved and longed-for brethren, my joy and my crown, so stand fast in the Lord, beloved." Philippians 4:1. I.

    God's Guidance And Fasting

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Aug 14, 2013
     | 5,100 views

    How does the church serve God and seek His will? How do we hear His voice for our present day needs? Certainly scripture is the primary tool to know God's will, but how we apply it takes wisdom and Spirit led help. How do we discover those?

    The Church in Antioch – the first place where the disciples were called Christians – was a team building church. Earlier in Acts 11 we hear of how this church began and how the gospel began to spread outside the borders of Israel into the Gentile world as certain brave souls began ...read more

    The deed is done before the all-seeing God. His approval is reward enough in itself.

    WHEN YE FAST. Matthew 6:16-21. True Christianity is not the dour, miserable affair which some of its play-actors portray (Matthew 6:16). So when we fast, we must wash-and-brush up in our usual manner (Matthew 6:17). The approval of God is far more to be desired than the applause of men (Matthew ...read more

    God listens to our prayers and answers them justly. Sometimes it might be irrelevant to the expectations of the one who prayed, but never a prayer is unanswered.

    In times of difficulty, it is natural to lament, or blame somebody. But a disciple of Jesus Christ would react otherwise. Since his life is devoted to Jesus Christ, he is well informed about his savior. And nothing shakes his faith even in midst of darkness around. For instance, take prophet ...read more
