If we truly follow God's teaching we would know that God does nothing without a purpose to beaccomplished. There must be a goal or objective in the thing we do and especially spiritual things. There mus be a pirpose to accomplish when fasting, if there is to be a spiritusl break through from God.
So waht is a spiritual fast according to what God says?
Definition of a spiritual fast: A fast is going without food to pursue or focus on something important spriitually. A fast helps to subject our bodies to our spirit.
Points.
1. Fasting is disciplining our bodies, mind, soul, and spirit.
2. Fating is submitting our fleshy desires to our spiritual desires.
3. Fasting helps set the priorities in our lives.
4. Fasting is longing to receive God's spiritual blessings in spiritual things.
Purpose why we as Christians should fast before the Lord.
1. To bring our attention and focus on God
2. To teach and train oursleves in spiritual disciplines, self control, learn obedience, increase our faith, and bring us into humility.
3. To move God in a mighty was in our direction during times of troubles and hardship/
4. To provide time as a sacrifice in order to hear instructions from God, and receive answers to prayers.
5. To receive all the spiritual blessing God has for us and to become overcomers.
Fasting brings us closer to God in many ways and we find ourselves operating more spiritually than in the flesh. Prayer and fasting gives us great power to war against the trick of the devil as Jesus did in the wilderness. God also calls for Christians to fast and pray on behave of the poor and needy, and when this is done He promises He will greatly bless us.
POIC, if you have no need to fast that's great! But you cannot deny thetruth of God's word, and just becasue you need ne thing does not qualify you to say others are not to be in obedience to what God says!
What you do in your relationshio with God is your busnisess and what I do is my business, and what others do is their business, and what God requires and ask of us in obedience is His busines to judge.
Again, I ask you who or what qualifies you to speak on God's behafe saying that what I have posted in wrong based on your limieted knowledge and understanding of God's word, and the things you don't need?...just asking as to why you're trying to dictate to me what is right and what is wrong and what you think I should or should believe?
uh... I mean, what religous or christian church or organization or group large of people outside of CDFF has your apritiual knowledge in God's word been tested to be in line with what God speaks?
You posted the same pasges I posted so what's your point? explain the meaning fo what those passages say...
This is my prayer for you, and I know God will answer it speedily... I pray that God of our Lord Jeus Christ Himself, the Father of glory, will give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of who He is. And that your eyes of understanding be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, and what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when he raised Him from the dead. In the mighty powerful holy name of Jesus Christ I pray, Amen!
POIC, If you read her "view history" you will see she has been un-teachable for a long time. She thinks she KNOWS IT ALL and anyone who disagrees with her she will accuse of being ignorant and going against the Truth. Some of the new Christians on this site are very intimidated by her. Everyone should make a point of reading her history, and you'll see what I mean. If she has dementia, I pray God deliver her from this.
