WHAT IS FASTING?
According to Wikipedia, it ‘is the willful refrainment from eating for a period of time…’
Fasting in the life of a Christian is designed to cause the heart to be in tune to the Spirit of God, it is about creating room for God in the life of the believer. It is what we do in private that has the potential to have public effects. A man can be in the privacy of their home and change the course of events in the home, community or in their nation or even their world. It is hardly about what one gave up as much as it is about how one tunes his senses to be in the frequency of God’s Spirit. In that state, it was easier to know God’s mind and receive instructions from Him.
The process of denying the body of food and drinks, help to focus on the real matters of life, desires are tamed, and a realization that praying and fasting did condition the heart to receiving God’s solution to the issues at hand.
One is able to face God without any obstacle, have the senses sharpened, and able to see and hear and perceived God and His instructions more clearly.
More often than not, when we fast, we are able to see our less than desirable state and we also are better equipped to receive solutions to them.
