WHY FASTING? read, mediate and be blessed

Why we need to fast? - Mathias Subba

1. Fasting is humbling ourselves before God. The Bible says: I humbled my soul with fasting (Ps.35:13).
2. Fasting is seeking God. The Bible says: And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes( Dan 9:3).
3. Fasting is an expression of sorrow. "Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting: neither were instruments of musick brought before him: and his sleep went from him".(Dan 6:18)
4. Fasting is returning to God (from humanness to Godliness). " Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning" (Joel. 2:12)
5. Fasting is repenting of sins. " Now in the twenty and fourth day of this month the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, and with sackclothes, and earth upon them." ( Neh 9:1-2)
6. Fasting is allowing God's power to work . "However, this kind (means devil possessed) does not go out except by prayer and fasting." Mat 17:21
7. Fasting is spiritual discipline to be more closer with the Lord. " So Cornelius said, "From the fourth day until this hour I was fasting, and at the ninth hour I was praying in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in shining clothing" (Act 10:30)
8. Fasting prayer is for special occasions. Act 13:2-3 Now as they were ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Now separate to Me Barnabas and Saul for the work which I have called them." Then, fasting and praying, and laying their hands on them, they sent them awayAct 14:23 And having chosen elders for them in every church, and having prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord in whom they had believed.
