Fasting is abstaining from something like food, drink or entertainment for a period of time to create some type of benefit in body, mind or spirit.
There are many types of fasts which include:
- Standard Fast (water only)
- Absolute Fast (No water or food)
- Partial Fast (restrict certain food and drink categories)
- Intermittent Fast (Only eat during small daily window, for example: 1pm-6pm)
There are many variations of these fasts, and there are spiritual benefits of all of these, when we are able to devote the time spent eating to focus on God and serving others.
Fasting is a natural discipline that can bring supernatural results. And, Fasting works when nothing else will. Moses, Elijah, Esther, Ezra, Job, David, Daniel, Peter, Paul even Jesus…fasted. The Bible is filled with more than 70 references to fasting, but over the last several decades fasting has disappeared from the church and is only beginning to make a resurgence today.
At Fusion Church we value the opportunity to sacrifice practical needs for the pursuit of knowing God deeper! Those 70+ references point to how great of a spiritual practice fasting truly is! You can watch a message from Pastor Brendon on the HOW + WHY of fasting below.
