Reasons Why Christians Fast
In Matthew 6:16, Jesus looks at His disciples and says, “When you fast,” before giving them explicit instructions on how to fast and pray. Interestingly, Jesus didn’t say ‘if’ you fast, but ‘when’. This indicates that Jesus expected His followers to fast. This indicates that fasting is a spiritual discipline to which all Christians must devote themselves.
Throughout the Bible, God’s people regularly fasted and prayed to get closer to God and enjoy breakthroughs in specific areas. If you want to strengthen your connection with God or see Him move supernaturally in a certain area, this is an excellent time to fast and pray.
How to Fast and Prayer
When deciding to fast, the first step is to devise a plan. Begin by deciding how much time and what type of fast you will do. Fasting can last any length of time and can be complete, partial, or selected (for example, the Daniel Fast). This 21-day fasting guide includes further information on specific periods and fast styles.
It is vital to realize that fasting without prayer simply means not eating. Remember that the purpose is to stop eating (or consume just certain types of food) for a while to redirect your focus, energy, and attention to God. The idea is to replace the consumption of food with time reading.
Conclusion
However, a single fast is hardly a panacea for spiritual health. We need new moments of fasting before God, just as we need fresh infillings of the Holy Spirit daily. Many Christians have found that fasting for 24 hours every week has been extremely beneficial. It takes time to strengthen your spiritual fasting muscles.
If you don’t complete your first fast, don’t give up. You may have tried to fast for too long the first time around, or you may need to improve your comprehension and resolve. As soon as feasible, begin another fast till you have succeeded. God will reward you for your faithfulness.
