FIRST BENEFITS OF FASTING

1 Corinthians 9:25

And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown.

Often times, people wonder why they really have to fast as part of their lives. Some have been lied to that fasting has no benefits, or that it's a form of punishment. Well, these aren't true at all. The scripture says anyone who competes for the price is temperate in all things. This talks about exercising discipline in everything. 

When you fast, you exercise discipline with things that could've been distractions, thereby helping you shed off carnal things to have more space and quicker reception for spiritual things. This is the first benefit of fasting. It helps you focus better and be more open to Spiritual things, than you would've been in the midst of all the distractions.

The power to fast is in the Word. Fill your mind with the Word, and it wouldn't be a struggle to exercise temperance and discipline during a fast. You'll be very sensitive to the Spirit thereby helping you maximise spiritual resources at your disposal. 

As you continue like this, you become less natural in function and you become more supernatural. Fasting with fervent prayers opens you up to the supernatural, because as you keep carnal things off your mind, and focus on God without distractions, the Life of God becomes more real to you. Live a fasting life and enjoy all the benefits. You're blessed. -TCF
