Lev. 23 [The Message]
Fasting has never been my strong suit. I have done some, but as I consider the required fasts in the Law of Moses, I realize more compliance is necessary for me.
Jesus said “WHEN you fast,” not”if.” [Matt. 6:16]
Fasting requires a reason, a decision and some self-control.
REASONS:
- To make your voice to be heard in Heaven
- To afflict or submit your soul
- To break the chains of injustice
- To set free those held by forms of oppression (addictions, patterns of sin etc.)
Fasting can yield powerful results IF we are willing to harness our appetites.
