Fasting FAQ’s
What is Fasting?
The spiritual discipline of temporarily going without something that may be good, to more permanently go after something greater–God.
Why Do We Need to Fast?
Because we want to hunger for God more than anything. And because Jesus expects it of his followers. In Matthew 6:16, he says, “When you fast,” not “if you fast.”
Is Fasting basically a diet?
Simply forfeting food is not a biblical fast. A biblical fast has an emphasis on prayer, often substituting time spent eating with prayer or serving others with good deeds.
What are the benefits of fasting?
Humility
Greater abilty to hear God
Intimacy with Christ
Greater dependency on God
Self control
Decreased desire to satisfy self
Spiritual strength
