Why Fast?: The Secret to a Supernatural Lifestyle

As we become more aware of what God is doing in this present age, we develop more understanding of the realm of the Spirit that God wants to expose his body to. The spirit realm is not known to many in the church because we tend as men and women of God to focus only on the natural – that which is familiar. Many people who desire to worship God are drawn to other religions that have a supernatural component to them. There is a need for a greater sense of power – even power to inflict destruction and to harass others. People are moving away from the truth and are drawn to certain religions and cultures that practise the worship of idols to fulfil their need for blessing and power. In many religions, fasting is often the vehicle to this endowment of power. Fasting is a practice that was common in Jesus’ day, and we know that the early church practised fasting (Acts 13:1–3). How much more must fasting be practised in this present day?
