Isaiah 58:6 “Is this not the fast that I have chosen: To loose the bonds of wickedness, To undo the heavy burdens, To let the oppressed go free, And that you break every yoke?
In the Old Testament, we can see that Biblical Fasting was an URGENT call to get serious about knowing God.
In the New Testament, we see that Biblical Fasting was an ancient spiritual discipline to reschedule my life with God at the center instead of dining, relaxing, amusing, accumulating, advancing, securing, and a multitude of other things that are not wrong, just deadly to intimacy with the Almighty.
In the Early Church of Acts and the Epistles, we see that this Hunger for God shaped their lives, their ministry, their worship, and their outreach.
In the Early Church, we see that Biblical fasting is a powerful way to yield every part of my life to God’s supremacy.
Conclusion: Biblical Fasting is an immediate way to declare your allegiance to God’s way and glory in every day of your life!
