Matthew 6:16-18 “Learning
to Fast”
When you fast, Jesus expected people to fast.
Not a show of spiritualness
There is a reward for it
What is it?
The abstaining from food for a given period of time to
develop your focus on God.
Fasting unto your blood test, work, my car or project.
Spiritual Fasting relates to the same reasons you pray.
Fasting is a sacrifice.
An opportunity to show your heart to God.
Fasting from things other than food.
Some people should not fast.
Queen Ester
Weeping, lamenting and fasting. Over the king’s decree.
Ester ask the people to pray and fast 4:16
2 Chr 7:14 If My people
Many Christian leaders are calling people to fast before the
presidential election
Not for any candidate or party
God places people in power for blessing and for judgement
Between now and election day choose a time to fast and spend
that time in prayer.
Repentance as a nation (that you do not agree with the
wickedness of many people in our nation)
Intercession for our national leaders that they would seek
God’s will and not their own.
Praying that answers would be found for the things that are
tearing us apart as a nation
For revival in our land (That people would come to faith in
Jesus)
Us this fast for our country as an opportunity to venture
into new ground spiritually.
