and when you fast!

Matthew 4: 2

After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry.

There has been a group of folks praying and fasting as of late in our church.

The cause is certainly worth the investment, and sacrifice.

It has been said that prayer is preparation for the battle.

I don’t agree—prayer is a battle!

All that we can do to enhance the power of prayer, fasting is certainly the most potent.

Fasting humbles the flesh, and when we do it for that purpose, it pleases the Spirit of the living God.

Jesus said in Matthew 6: 16………… “and when you fast….”

He didn’t say…. “and if you fast……….”

A true disciple will fast!

Jesus fasted for 40 days and 40 nights. To say He was hungry, was probably a huge understatement.

Who wouldn’t want to pray and fast, to someone as powerful and disciplined as Jesus?
