FASTING IS THE DELIBERATE,
VOLUNTARY ABSTINENCE FROM FOOD
FOR SPECIFIC TIME AND FOR THE
PURPOSE OF CONCENTRATED
PRAYER.

17. GALATIANS 5:24-25
v.24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus
have nailed the passions and desires of
their sinful nature to His cross and
crucified them there.
v.25 Since we are living by the Spirit,
let us follow the Spirit's leading in every
part of our lives.
18. 1 CORINTHIANS 9:27
But I discipline my body and bring it
into subjection, lest, when I have
preached to others, I myself should
become disqualified.

27. TRUE SPIRITUAL FASTING SETS ASIDE
NATURAL THINGS FOR A SPECIFIC TIME,
SAYING NO TO THE FLESH AND YES TO THE
SPIRIT,TO BRING ABOUT SUPERNATURAL
RESULTS. IT BRINGS GOD ON THE SCENE,
AND AS A SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINE IT ALLOWS
MORE TIME FOR PRAYER AND WAITING
UPON THE LORD.
IT WILL AFFECT YOUR CHRISTIAN WALK,
BRINGING THE PRESENCE OF GOD
DEARER AND NEARER TO YOU.
