While fasting, you are open spiritually, so take advantage of this opportunity to get as much of the Word into your life as possible. You will notice the great benefits afterwards.
– In fasting and prayer you will be more intimate with God’s own heartbeat.
– Fasting creates changes in us that makes it possible to interact with God.
– Fasting gives us the opportunity to stop and consecrate our life to Him.
– Fasting and prayer can open a door to a much closer relationship with the
Lord.
– Fasting will build character in us, cleanse and purify our bodies and
spirits, and enable us to realize His vision for our lives.
God promises He’ll reward us openly when we pray and fast. Mathew 6:6,18.
We must stay in Agreement:
Isaiah 58:4 “Your fasting ends in quarreling and strife, and in striking each other with wicked fists. You cannot fast as you do today and expect your voice to be heard on high.” Our voice will not be heard on high if we have any quarreling or strife; we must be in agreement!
