LIVE A FASTING LIFE
Matthew 6:16(a)
“Moreover, when you fast, do not be like the hypocrites, with a sad countenance...."
One important aspect of our Christian life which we must not downplay in our walk with God is the area of fasting. Fasting if the putting away of distractions such as food,movies, novels outings, social media, and such thing which may be a distraction, to enable your mind focus totally on God, and be in tune with Him for a reasonable amount of time.
Fasting is not just the staying away from food and other distractions, but has more to do with the focus and time you consciously give God within the time of the fast. Many people are reluctant to fast even for a while, so they miss out on a lot of things they would've come into through the course of their lives.
Jesus speaking to His disciples says "moreover, when you fast.." Notice the construction of His words. He didn't say 'if you fast..." If you fast would mean that it wasn't entirely necessary, but could happen at times. But no, He said, "when you fast". This means that He expects you to fast often, just as He expects you to pray and live for Him.
Therefore fasting is an essentially important part of our Christian walk, and it should be a part of our lives normally. Not just when you're in trouble. It should be something you do in and out of season. In consistency lies the benefits. Live a fasting life. You're blessed. -TCF
