Luke5:34 And he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? 35 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.
I have heard people say that Jesus has done all the fasting, so there is no need to fast anymore. From the scripture above, the disciples of Jesus weren't given to fasting because Jesus was with them physically. Jesus made it clear that a time will come when they will fast and I believe that the time for that is now.
The primary purpose of fasting is to weaken the flesh and empower the spirit in us to become sensitive to God's Spirit and power. Fasting and prayer connects you to the third heaven quickly because the focus on carnal things has been reduced. Fasting is not negotiable in this dispensation because certain things can't be achieved without it.
Fasting can not kill you, it has both spiritual and health benefit. For those that fast regularly, it helps to reduce excess fat and sugar that could be of harm to the body. You must decide today to make fasting regular in your life. Let your fasting be coupled with word study,prayer and worship. That is the secret of power.
Father, I receive grace to fast regularly In Jesus name. Amen
