Bible Question: By being obedient to God can you enter the supernatural realm. |
Bible Answer: LSmith, It depends what commands that you are being obedient to. The method of fasting was often in used in scripture to remove the encumbrance of the flesh, wherein physiological changes occured. Basically, the spiritual essence of the Christian already possesses the full gamut of miracle capacity. So nothing changes there. Namely, every true Christian already has the capacity to resurrect the dead, walk on water, etc. in a spiritual context. The obstacle to the physical manisfestation, however, is our physical, fleshly body. Fasting removes this encumbrance, so that our flesh no longer restricts our spirit. Fasting basically deadens our physical sensitivities, and thereby allows increased supernatural sensitivity. However, the method of fasting is seldom practiced regularly today by anyone at the vast degrees that it was used in bible times. Also, fasting does not grant a person salvation, insofar as it is a work. Our modern day organized religion is no longer fluent in this practice. - Matthew 17 18 And Jesus rebuked him, and the demon came out of him, and the boy was cured at once. 19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, "Why could we not drive it out?" 20 And He *said to them, "Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you. 21 "But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting."
