Fasting... I am reading a very interesting and enlightening book titled Fasting by Jentezen Franklin. This author discusses the pattern Jesus provided us for which we should live. Three specific items are references through out this book: giving, praying and fasting. Franklin states these are duties for us and are referenced in Matthew 6.
We are to pray in private and not put on a big show about it. We are to fast, anointing our heads and washing our faces, in private. We are not to stockpile treasures here on Earth, but rather know our treasures are safe in the Heavens with God our Father. We must trust our Father and be continuously engaged in our relationship with him. Stay focused on God through his Word because Satan waits at every opportunity and will attempt to distract and destroy you. I can see how fasting is an extremely important tool to help us stay focused and call on God for his strength and guidance. The Bible tells us of many occasions that Jesus fasted and was rewarded openly by God. Do you have a prayer room in your home...a special room dedicated to worshiping the Lord through prayer and study? I am just beginning to realize how important this really is to my personal spiritual growth. More to come...... |
