Hidden Eternal Treasures - October 2008

Fasting

October 15th 2008 22:42


In Matthew 6:16-18, Jesus explains fasting. Take a moment and read it before continuing.

So, here are a few things about fasting. We know that it is an act of righteousness that is to be seen by God and not man. When you fast you shouldn’t look as if you are on your death bed, or that you are starving while telling others of this spiritual decision, it should be done in secret so that God knows that it id for Him you are doing it.

While we are fasting it is important to do it in obedience and repentance. Fasting is a very spiritual act that needs to be taken seriously. Prayer is also an essential part of fasting. It should be a continual prayer in our minds and hearts throughout the journey to be closer to God.

Round Politics
Hi T.B.T. I think that fasting is the humbling of ourselves before God to show that we want to hunger and thirst after righteousness, and not the worldly things. We must do this in secret, that God would reward us openly.

And also fasting gives us power with God so that we pray for others and get our prayers answered.
