Did you know that FASTING is mentioned over 70 times throughout Scripture?
In Mathew 6 6-18, Jesus commanded his followers to fast. He said: ‘WHEN you fast’, not “IF you fast..”, this shows that fasting is not an option but a commandment. Jesus expects fasting to be a regular part of our spiritual lives and relationship with God.
Despite the recent surge in popularity, fasting is a practice that dates back centuries and plays a central role in many cultures and religions.
In the Old Testament, there were two types of fasting: public and private. Both types offer great spiritual benefits.
Through many examples of people in the Bible who fasted, we can know that God grants supernatural revelation and wisdom through this practice.
Fasting can improve mental clarity and focus, as well as provide numeral health benefits, including weight loss, blood sugar control, and protection against medical conditions like cancer and neurodegenerative disorders.
FASTING, because CLEANLINESS is close to GODLINESS.
