Fasting serves a dual purpose. makes you become spiritually alert. The fall of man came through eating, appetite and it only takes man to deny same appetite to restore the glory. Second is healthwise. fasting increases stem cell production and allows the body to produce more white blood cells to annihilate virus infecyed cells. contrary to many, fasting does not change the move or the take of God, in any given issues though, you may fast to show your humility before God, but that does not to change his verdict. see king David mourning the dead from the product of adultery. Queen Esther's fasting is just a sign of humilty before God almighty.[The way up is always down]

Fasting is a weapon of starvation.

God created food as a necessity to maintain your body, you are depriving your body...a perfect creation of God, that necessary requirement that God created for it in order to please the same God.
How does that make sense

Also,
If God created man and the same God created food.
And everything created by God is good.
Tell me: why should man deprive himself of God's goodness (food) in order to please God ?

It then follows that if deprivation of food is necessary to be closer to God, then either:
Food is not good.
Man is not good.
Or God is not good.

If any of the above is the case, then God did NOT create a good thing. God is imperfect.

Fasting is very powerful spiritual activity, done by all Religion and also Atheist

You deprive yourself of nutrients and food, your body starts feeding off fat, and toxin burning them down for energy

You have more mental clearity

And all energy used in digestion is retained

You see road. Slows down ageing too.

There was this man called Mordecai — Esther’s uncle. There was also Haman – an officer of the king, who hated Mordecai. Haman expected everybody to bow to him, but Mordecai wouldn’t bow to anybody except God. Haman decided to hang him and destroy his people completely. Haman got the king to sign the death warrant of all the Israelites.

When Mordecai heard of the decree from the king, he went to Esther, who was then the queen, for help. Esther replied in Esther 4:1-17 that they should all fast, and then she would go and see the king. They fasted for just three days and things began to change from that point. By the time we got to Esther 5:1-6, Esther appeared before the king without being summoned and the first result of the fasting was that instead of the king asking her to be killed, he spared her life. Fasting can change death to life.

The next thing that happened is that Esther found unusual favour before the king The king told Esther that though he is yet to know what she wants, but she should consider it granted already, even up to half of his kingdom. When you fast, you get more than you ask for. By the time we get to Esther 6, the king couldn’t sleep until he honoured Mordecai. A good deed that Mordecai did many years previously, which had been forgotten, made the king restless until it was repaid. When you take fasting seriously, all your past benefits that you have been denied can be brought forward and handed over to you.

In Esther 7, the enemy of the entire nation became completely uprooted, and then in Esther 8, the house of Haman was given over to Esther. Proverbs 13:22 says that the wealth of the wicked is laid up for the just; do you think the wicked will let go of his wealth easily? You get it by fasting and praying. Wealth changes hands when you fast. Mordecai also got promoted because promotion comes from God (Psalm 75:6-7), and since fasting draws you closer to God, it leads to promotion.

Finally, in Esther 8:3-17, the Jews were saved from destruction, and the Bible also says all the people around became Jews because they were afraid of the Jews. Fasting is a powerful weapon of warfare. Begin to use this weapon from today.

The question is "Do you know how to fast"? A lot of Christians don't know the difference between hunger strike and fasting. Fasting isn't just about abstaining from food

Your analysis is unreasonable.
If someone deliberately punishes himself just to see me when there is an alternative, I will punish the person in addition.

Righteousness2:
Fasting is an ingrideient for anyone who desires to be in charge spirtually and physically.

If you desire your spirit man which is the real you to be alive, you must engage in spiritual exercises

Just as you feed your flesh when you are hungry.
You need to also feed the spirit man else you a free food for the devil and his agents .
The Spirit man does not feed on burger, pizza, agege bread or chicken.

The Spirit man feeds on fasting , praying, reading the Word of God, etc
There are fastings that you engage in that even when you feel weak or tired to pray, your spirit man prays . That is because you have given it it's food.


To be carnal is death.
To be spiritual is life.

Fasting that makes sense is one that is done in Holiness and righteousness, else you will only be engaging in weight loss program.
sure most of us are just religious. We don't know who we are in CHRIST. A true christian need no fast.

A believer is someone who has been redeemed by Christ. Nothing more again. Just believe and enter into the provision made in Calvary.not self work and self righteousness can help anyone even your fasting Colossians 2:10 tells me that jam complete in Christ. Take it or leave it fasting is Judaism not Christianity. Matthew 9 15 explain it. But we only read letter and interpret letters that killeth 2 Corinthians 3 ;6b. Only hypocrite fast to receive from God. Ephesians 2;5-10 explain much better. We have been made sitted already with Christ in heaven. Then what is the bases of fasting. Lastly U DONT GROW AS A CHRISTIAN BY FASTING AND PRAYER. ALL YOU NEED IS TRUE UNDILUTED WORD OF GOD TRU CHRIST ONLY NOT THE WORDS OF FATHER G. O. prophet, PASTORS ETC. THE BIBLE MADE IT CLEAR IN JOHN 21:17 WHERE CHRIST COMMAND PETER TO FEED HIS SHEEP. FEED THEM WITH WHAT. JEREMIAH 3:15 ANSWER THE QUESTION. FEED THEM WITH KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTAND OF GOD. THAT IS WHAT MAKES U GROW.
