It never fails! Every time I'm seeking an answer from God, and I chose to fast and pray, He always gives me a Word. And I'm talking a meaty Word, one that can put any five star restaurant to shame.

There may be times that you are seeking clarity from God, perhaps a deeper level of intimacy with God, or an answered prayer that will no doubtly take a miracle! If any of these fit you, do yourself a favor and choose to FAST.

In the book of Matthew, there is a story about a demon possed boy. The father of the boy sought out the disciples to heal the boy but they couldn't. When the disciples questioned Jesus about it, after Jesus addressed the disciples unbelief, He says, "However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting” (Matthew 17:21 NKJV).

Additional benefits of fasting are that it reveals, and can bring about deliverance and healing. While it's always good to refrain from many things while fasting, you are not truly on a fast unless you refraim from ALL food for a period of time. It is also extremely important to meditate on the Word of God which will sustain the hungry. It's not called the "Bread of Life" for nothing!😊  

Enjoy the fine dining of fasting: God is your Waiter, He’s waiting on you; look on the menu and see what the Holy Spirit has; select the appetizer of praise and let God's Word be your main course; don't forget dessert and praise Him.
Also note, the meal is free because Jesus paid it all!!!
