2 | Role of fasting in a Christian's walk? | Neh 1:4 | Searcher56 | 25426 | ||
Scripture ... Matt 4:2, 6:16-18, 17:21; Acts 13:2-3, 14:23 ... Nolan, Cruise life is tough :-) ... Jesus said says when in the Sermon on the Mount, and does this with prayer and giving. He fasted as He prepared for His ministy (Matt 4:2). Matt 17:21 deals with faith. Fasting is linked with prayer. I think it increases our focus on Him. In Acts 13:2 the church fasted before The Lord made the call to send out Barnabas and Saul. Then they fasted an prayed before they sent them out (vs 3). Prayer and fasting are link when elders were appointed (Acts 14:23). So I think we should fast (and pray) to help us focus on Him. Yes, feast on the Word, too. S |
