Why is Fasting Necessary?
The term ‘Fasting’ generally refers to a period of
abstinence from food for the purpose of engaging
in uninterrupted study, prayer and meditation with
a clear objective and goal in focus.
Why is Fasting Necessary?
The scriptures are replete with numerous accounts
of remarkable results and dramatic testimonies
produced through Fasting. As Christians, Fasting is
one of the godly exercises we should engage in
regularly, with the promise of present and eternal
benefits. The advantages are numerous, and here
are a few:
Through Fasting, we can improve our
effectiveness in the things of the spirit. In simple
terms, Fasting helps you to tame the flesh and lift
the spirit. As Christians, we are required to walk in
the spirit, always. This
means to be spirit-controlled and not flesh-
controlled. This is important because Rom 8:6 says
“…to be carnally minded is death; but to
be spiritually minded is life and peace” and also in
John 6:63 our Lord Jesus said “It is the spirit that
quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing….”.
So how does Fasting help you to tame the flesh
and lift the spirit? One of the cravings of the body
is food. It is a craving that is connected to the
senses. When we fast, we deliberately abstain from
food even though our body craves it. We resist the
urge to eat thereby improving our mastery over the
cravings of the body, and
instead focus on activities that build the spirit. Of
course, we could engage in activities that build our
spirit without abstaining from food, but the
abstinence from food adds a level of ‘ seriousness’
and ‘discipline ‘ to the exercise.
Fasting helps to sharpen our ability to receive or
hear from God. It is like raising a spiritual antenna
to pick the finer signals of the Spirit’s
communication.
But how does this happen? When we Fast,
abstinence from food is a key characteristic but
that is not all. The Fasting exercise promotes
focus and undivided attention to study and
prayer. There should be a deliberate cessation of
all unnecessary activity and a conscious increase
in activities of that engage the spirit. This helps
to unclutter the mind and remove the ‘noise’ or
interference that often prevents the hearing of
God’s voice. During a period of Fasting, many
have received clear direction and heard the voice of
God in a more distinct way than before.
Fasting can be a vehicle to effect dramatic and
urgent change in things that pertain to us or even
in the circumstances of others around us.
In James 5:17 (amp) the scriptures assure us that
“….the earnest (heartfelt)…prayer of a righteous
man makes power available (dynamic)….” which
means power to effect changes, shift things, re-
arrange things in the
present or in the future can be produced by me –
when I pray a certain way. So how do I ensure my
prayer is earnest and heartfelt.
When you declare a Fast, you are raising the
stakes. It is a declaration of seriousness and
urgency in addressing the matter at hand. It
helps you to be earnest in your prayers and
certainly it will be heartfelt. Your heart is in it
to the point that you are giving up eating to focus
on the matter at hand. And when you pray like
this, the results are guaranteed!
