Last Episode we spoke about the reasons and benefits of fasting
Key Scripture- Mt 6:17-18. Isa 58 (Contemporary English Version)
As good as fasting is it may not work if not done as prescribed.
DON’TS
- SIN Isa 58V2, 4,10, Isa 59 v1-3
- Religious approach– Matt 6v1 Isa 58v5
- Prayerlessness.
DO’S
- Humble yourself 2Chr 7v14 Isaiah 58:1-7. The very foundation of fasting and prayer is repentance. Unconfessed sin will hinder your prayers
- Make your commitment: how long are you fasting, one meal, one day, a week, several weeks, forty days (Beginners should start slowly, building up to longer fasts.)
- Fasting and prayer season must have a mission, a Target, a Goal.
- Have a regimen/Schedule
Conclusion:
In order to get the best result from Fasting, its best to adhere to the prescriptions i.e. dos and donts as highlighted above.1 sam 15v22 Obedience is better than Sacrifice.
