Well! Spiritual matter are not to be taken lightly. If you don't know the importance of a thing abuse is inevitable. And what you stop doing will stop rewarding you. Fasting is for a purpose. If you know you can't partake in it (because of your weakness) then don't cause others to join u. Though you are at liberty. What God has done in Jesus on the cross can never be reversed. You're saved if you believe in the Lord Jesus. Shalom. |

As a kid, I don't remember me Dunno why with the theist skydaddy it's a different ball game. You have to fast 20, 30, 100 days, call fire on enemies, go in the nude at midnight, go on a quest to some mountain just for the skydaddy to grant a request that 95% of the time is never granted. #Just.saying. 1 Like |

Well yes, you have quite a point there. The Bible even says: "eating neither commends us to God; for neither if we eat are we the better, nor if we do not eat are we the worse" 1 Corinthians 8:8 But you see, fasting is needed in the spiritual race in order to be sensitive to God's Spirit. if the flesh is not subdued, your spirit can't freely hear from GOD. Let me give you an illustration: Imagine if someone is telling you something while you're listening to the television with the volume tuned up. You can never hear the person clearly until you mute the volume. So also every Christian, the Spirit is speaking today but we cannot hear Him expressly until we 'tune down' the volume of other things. And food is one of them. Many Spirit-filled people will understand what I'm about to say: Have you ever had this feeling when you just finished eating and you want to worship GOD in His Spirit, you feel bogged down and weighty that you know that you might not even be able to worship God or hear Him well. That's it. It is unscriptural to say you want to 'fast for prosperity', but it is scriptural to fast in order to hear what God Is saying. You see, the Bible says "eye has not seen, nor have hears heard, nor has it entered into the heart of men what GOD has prepared for those who love HIM" 1 Cor 2:9. Many people usually take this verse out of context. Full understanding comes when you notice the verse after it: "but HE has revealed it to us by HIS SPIRIT" 1 Cor 2:10. You can only know ALL the great things GOD has prepared for you through GOD'S Spirit in your inner man. This period of fasting in your Church is a time to do that, connect yourself to GOD'S Spirit and you will begin to see great and mighty things. GOD BLESS YOU!

VickyRotex: Did already. Zero fasting. Many successful people. Meanwhile, Nigerians who fast are struggling to eat and jumping at the slightest opportunity to be voluntary SLAVES to those who don't fast. What IRONY, right Is that not FOOLISHNESS? |

Fasting is more than 'not eating' It is a spiritual exercise that makes your spirit active and sensitive because you have suppressed flesh in a way. However, the way we take Fasting these days is questionable because a lot believe that their prayers will not be answered when they dont fast, that you fast is no guarantee that God will answer your prayer first. How about those that fast and still trespass while fasting, then the purpose of the fast has been conquered. What God is after is a heart that is pure and a spirit that is active for him to commune with. My church is currently on a 40 days fast But I only fast as led. I am not against the fasting daily till 6:30pm, But I have understood some things and had some dealings. So dont be carried away by 'you have to fast to get your prayers answered', understand what God wants you to do per time. |

Fasting is for power generation, fasting does not move God and should not be done in an effort to bribe God, before, during and after your fast he remains the same,fasting does not change God but changes you" the faster" , fasting helps to put your flesh under control so that your Spirit Man can connect and commune well with the Holy Spirit |

Re: What Is The Use Of Fasting,when God still Answer prayers with Full Stomach? by Reference(m): 4:13pm On Jan 17, 2016 |
Technically 'fasting' is merely spiritual focus. Nothing more. It is about emphasis, intensity. As human beings our bodies and our souls work at cross purposes to our spirit. In order to heighten one we have to diminish, degrade, control the other. I would liken it to trying to see in the dark. If you are in brightly lit room at night and you want to see clearly immediately you step out you shut your eyes for a moment before opening the door. Now the oft misunderstood key here is what the fast does. Just as with the example I stated. The light or darkness doesn't change what happens is you adapt. In a fast it is not God or the situation that changes but you. You assume a higher level of focus, awareness and power. So God can answer your prayer and He answers every prayer of saints everytime but what we call 'answers' results is not always a function of God alone. For example. "Daddy I am hungry" There are many answers to that. One. Daddy gets up and gets you a sandwich. Two. "Peter my servant, get my son a sandwich" Three. "Son, there is a sandwich on the kitchen counter". These are the ways of God mature Christians position themselves to know by fasting. The truth sadly is that fasting is not only about food and prayer. It is also about knowledge search and understanding. Personally I prefer to fast as occasion serves rather than by time table and church bulk service so that I can take time of work to meet with the demands of time, focus and energy. And except if you are a pastor I cannot see where you will get 21 days to focus on God in the times we face. 1 Like |
