The Focus Of Our Faith (Part 4): Fasting & Festivities (Matt 9: 14-15)

Have you ever fasted for spiritual reasons? Jesus fasted for 40 days and nights before He began His ministry. He did this align His heart to the Father’s heart. Many times the Bible links fasting with prayer and Jesus exemplified that! The heart of fasting is motivated by a God centered purpose. Perhaps it’s for a friend’s healing or we want to overcome an addiction. God hears our prayers and He is pleased when we fast in order to concentrate on Him more. May this bless you!
