Not Fasting!!!

Whenever we hear the word “fasting”, we say, “AHHH, not fasting!

Fasting is a sacrifice. Anytime you sacrifice something, our flesh screams. There are many examples of fasting in the Bible:

Daniel fasted – Daniel 9:3
Esther fasted – Esther 4:16
David fasted – II Samuel 12:16
Hannah fasted – I Samuel 1
Anna fasted – Luke 2:36-37
Jesus fasted – Mark 1:12-13 and Luke 4:1-2

Fasting is one of the most freeing things we can do. There is power in corporate fasting. There is power in corporate prayer. It is very important that when you fast to set aside time to pray. Prayer and fasting go hand in hand.

Having a prayer partner or accountability person is crucial during a fast. You will have the prayer covering that you need and will call her for help when you are struggling not to eat a bag of chips!

Enjoy this new journey to become closer to our Savior!
