88LH12-13 - Tommy Cook & Deorham Bholan - FASTING - $4.00 Donation - Thursdays at noon we at LHBC pray over all your requests. These messages on fasting were given prior to the noon time of prayer. Has God been dealing with your heart to fast? These admonitions on fasting will benefit you. Part of being a disciple of Christ is to live a life of discipline, and fasting is a part of that lifestyle. Fasting without prayer is just a diet. It takes both prayer and fasting to bring spiritual change. The Word of God calls us to fast, but we need wisdom to know the type, duration and purposes of fasting. It is also important to have the correct motive for fasting. We should be doing it to please God and in obedience to Him. Your flesh will fight this denial of self, but fasting will turn your heart to God and produce much spiritual fruit. God uses our fasts to bring cleansing to us: body, soul and spirit. Fasting afflicts the soul and does a work in us that cannot be duplicated by any other means. Many want the tabernacle experience but are not interested in God's prerequisite of cleansing. As we humble ourselves in fasting, God will give us food to eat that man doesn't know about. This is another classic tape. Best teaching on fasting that we've heard.
