Topic: Ten (10) Biblical Purposes for Fasting

Through out the Bible we most often find God's people turn to fasting as the natural , inevitable response to a grievous sacred moment in life, such as death, sin and tragedy. But other times a fast is not a spontaneous reaction and we have time to prepare to respond both physically and spiritually.
Fasting is not an end unto itself, but a means of focusing our minds and bodies for a spiritual reason. Whenever you fast, do so for a reason that is mentioned or modeled in the Bible. Here are ten primary purpose for fasting mentioned in Scriptures:
1). To strengthen Prayer ( Ezra 8:23)
2). To seek God's guidance (Judges 20:26)
3). To express grief (1 Samuel 31:13)
4). To seek Deliverance or Protection ( 2 Chronicles 20:3-4)
5). To express repentance and a return to God ( 1 Samuel 7:6)
6). To Humble oneself before God ( 1 Kings 21:27-29)
7). To express concern for the Work of God ( Nehemiah 1:3-4)
😎. To Minister to the needs of others (Isaiah 58:3-7)
9). To overcome temptation and dedicate yourself to God ( Matthew 4:1-11)
10). To express love and Worship for God (Luke 2:37)
Folks, rather than wondering whether you should fast, ask why you would want to miss out on the Father's reward.
God Bless you as you listen to this teaching. Blessed Sunday to All.
