Over the next few days I want to share a little teaching on biblical fasting and the power that this spiritual discipline brings .To commence this subject and provide a brief overview of some of the teaching I will give you some dot points now .
.Fasting is helpful in the process of humbling ourselves.
.In order to come closer to God and to hear the voice of The Holy Spirit.
.Fasting helps us understand the power , authority and validity of God's Word.
. To seek out God's perfect will ... not just His permissive will .
.Fasting helps us in seeking healing , deliverance, clarification over life circumstances .
. Fasting & repentance is the base line of God honouring our lives as we seek His face.
.Fasting is a great intercessory mode of prayer for others who really need the power of Jesus to intervene in life's circumstances.
.Fasting & prayer will always bring a response from God , not to be used as a manipulation tool , rather a pressing into the grace , mercy , love & presence of JESUS . His answers may not always line up exactly as we want , BUT they will always fall in line with His Kingdom priorities .
Please read Matthew 6 :1-18 .... notice the emphasis on WHEN YOU PRAY ... WHEN YOU FAST ... WHEN YOU PRAY .. WHEN YOU FAST ( Not if )
