A Focus on Fasting:
Is Fasting Beneficial?
YES! Faithful and consistent Biblical fasting results in the spiritual growth and fruitfulness of the “inward person.” Fasting assists by renewing the mind, building up the body, strengthening the inner person, sharpening the senses, depth in reflecting, peace and comfort. You will have a clear directive in decision making and holy alignment with the Father.
We will discuss how to—
• Discern between the Biblical view and world view of fasting
• Gain strength to resist strongholds and temptations
• Draw close to God, hearing His voice and direction
• Exercise alignment with God’s directives
• Humble yourself, die to self and submit to God’s plan
• Find strength to face difficult circumstances
When you fast—Matthew 6:17
Jesus, being God, made time to fast and seek His heavenly Father. How much more do we need to follow His example as His children?
You will gain skills to—
• Understand Biblical Purpose, Principles and Promises; Learn the Biblical format of fasting and its benefits
• Study the Nine Biblical Fasts; Survey various Biblical fasts
• Die to Self, Become a Living Sacrifice; Study Romans 12-15, practical application in spiritual disciplines
• Live a Life of Holiness through Solitude, Study and Meditation; Study Hebrews 12, 13
