Biblical Fasting: God's Buffet

"...biblical fasting is refraining from food for a spiritual purpose. From the beginning, fasting has been a normal part of a relationship with God." Jentezen Franklin Fasting.

Let's not make fasting more "mystical" than it needs to be. It's a spiritual discipline that places the flesh into submission and helps you focus on God's kingdom. You are seeking God's face, wanting to know the Father Heart of God.

"When you eliminate food from your diet for a number of days, your spirit becomes uncluttered by the things of this world and amazingly sensitive to the things of God." JF - Fasting

Imagine - sensitive to the things of God! Are you hungry; ready to feast on the things of God? I am!!!

Invitation: Come and be filled.

ARE YOU HUNGRY? Do you have a hunger that even the biggest meal can't fill.

Give, Pray, and Fast.
Jesus, in Matthew 6 referenced three duties that a Christian should participate in; giving, praying, and fasting. Jesus said, “When you give”…”when you pray”…”when you fast”.

I don't know about you but I'm wanting my God given desires and dreams to be realized. I want to be part of God's Kingdom come and His well being done. I've been saying to myself, "How sad would it be if at the end of my life as I stand before God He would say to me, 'I had so much more to give to you but you would not have it.'"

“…there are some things that I desire more than food.” – Jentezen Franklin from his book entitled Fasting.

During the month of July I will be fasting; seaching God's face with a desire to see His Kingdom come and will to be done. I'm also seaching God for some breakthroughs in my life. Do you have any need for breakthrougs in your life, work, relationships, church...

I'll be updating my blog each day with helpful tips on fasting, scripture, thoughts from different authors as well as some of my own. I want to invite you to consider taking a journey with me based upon what God might be calling you to do.
