Fasting & God's Image.
#Propheticword

Fasting gives us less interest in carnal things, and more interest in spiritual things.

Fasting Dictionary meaning:
The state of wanting to know or learn about something or someone.

Fasting is self-denial, by going without for period of time. Fasting may be total, or partial. Avoiding certain things that you like. Giving it to God, as your sacrifice to Him.

"Fasting is a self-sacrifice that makes one humble and more accepting of God's will.

Moses fasted for forty days in preparation for receiving the Ten Commandments
(Exodus 34:28).

Daniel fasted for three weeks before receiving his vision (Daniel 10:2-6).

Elijah fasted forty days before speaking with God
(1 Kings 19:8).

Jesus fasted for forty days in preparation for His temptation by the devil
(Matthew 4:1-11, Luke 4:1-13)."

"In both the Old and New Testaments, fasting is seen as useful for humbling oneself as a sign of commitment or repentance and for increasing faith, especially when accompanied by prayer. Fasting allowed one to be devoted to spiritual matters without distraction from earthly things. However, fasting was not to be considered an end in itself, nor a substitute for obedience to God and doing good deeds (Isaiah 58:3-10)."
Christianbiblereference.org. (Exodus 20:3) KJV
 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

(Exodus 20:4) KJV
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

(Exodus 20:5) KJV
 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

These scriptures speak of God's image:

(Daniel 10:2-6) NIV
At that time I, Daniel, mourned for three weeks. I ate no choice food; no meat or wine touched my lips; and I used no lotions at all until the three weeks were over. On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was standing on the bank of the great river, the Tigris, I looked up and there before me was a man dressed in linen, with a belt of fine gold from Uphaz around his waist. His body was like topaz, his face like lightning, his eyes like flaming torches, his arms and legs like the gleam of burnished bronze, and his voice like the sound of a multitude.

(Revelation 1:14-16) KJV
His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; and his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
