Fasting Signifies Your Commitment to Seeking Your Personal Relationship with God

MESSAGE SUMMARY:

In the early Christian Church, which was under great stress and constant physical danger, God’s direction and blessing was needed. Therefore, fasting was considered by Church leaders as a key element of their communion with God when they needed both His direction and blessing, as we find in Acts 14:23: “And when they had appointed elders for them in every church, with prayer and fasting they committed them to the Lord in whom they had believed.". As a challenge, "consider the food issue" in your life, especially when you need God’s direction in your life, because food has such a stronghold on us. Fasting and tithing can significantly deepen your relationship with God because it is not easy; but success in fasting, especially with food, can symbolize your victory over yourself and your commitment to your personal relationship with God.

 

TODAY’S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that, because I am in Jesus Christ, God isn’t finished with me yet. (Philippians 1:6).  “I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.”. (Philippians 4:14).
