    Acceptable Fasting

    In the sight of God, fasting is not just denying oneself the pleasure of food but actually meeting the needs of others.

    Memory Verse: “Is this not the fast that I have chosen: To loose the bonds of wickedness, To undo the heavy burdens, To let the oppressed go free, And that you break every yoke?” Isaiah 58:6 NKJV Definition: According to The New Unger's Bible Dictionary, fasting in the Hebrew language is called ...read more

    Daniel Fasting

    We are not boldly able to look straight at the face of kings and say, ‘look, this is what God is telling you’ because we chat more on face book rather than with God like Daniel!

    You are greatly loved! Daniel 9:3 ‘And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes..’ Friend, the reason for our mediocre lives, broken homes and debt-drenched lives is because we read more of ‘how to become rich ...read more

    Jesus uses three contemporary examples to answer the question, "Why don't your disciples fast?"; In doing so, He explains the exclusiveness of the Kingdom of God.

    “Fast or Feast” Matthew 9:14-17 (Mark 2:18-22, Luke 5:33-39) To eat or not to eat; that is the question that is asked of Jesus. Matthew 9:14: “Then John's disciples came and asked him, "How is it that we and the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?" The question ...read more

    A warning against mixing things that differ.

    THE QUESTION OF FASTING. Matthew 9:14-17. It is a strange thing that the disciples of John the Baptist came to Jesus to ask, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples do not fast?” (Matthew 9:14). It is unfortunately typical of religious people to be performing some ritual ...read more

    Fasting has been misused by mystics and sometimes remained a mystery to many committed Christians. Although opinions are mixed on the issue, I believe we can carve out a Biblical position that, while perhaps incomplete, will lay a good foundation.

    Biblical Fasting (Matthew 9: 14-15) 1. This is perhaps the most awful pun you will hear. 2. Mahatma Gandhi went around barefoot quite often, and eventually his soles turned very tough and thick. Of course he also was a devout Hindu. Later in life he also fasted a lot, becoming thin and ...read more

    Fast when out of your despair, you feel totally dependent upon God.

    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 explained that many men and women ...read more

    Fasting is a rewarding discipline in that it brings us closer to the "face" of God.

    1. FASTING TOGETHER: THE MINNESOTA GRASSHOPPER SWARM In Minnesota, during the summer of 1876, there was a swarm of grasshoppers destroying the crops. There was a fear that the grasshoppers would return, so Governor John S. Pillsbury proclaimed a day of prayer and fasting on April 26, 1877, urging ...read more

    In the military, you were given a command to stand fast and await further orders even when you saw others marching. Too many Christians, especially new ones, run off at the command of men or emotions missing the Lord's command.

    Is it not odd that people who believe in the omnipresence of God seek some place where they feel closer to Him. He not the God of the oceans, the mountains or the fields. He is the God of the universe so wherever you are He is there. If you are not hearing from Him it is not a location ...read more
