Fasting should be natural part of life of a believer the same way we practice the habits of reading the bible and prayer we should practice habit of fasting...*Prayer & Fasting are equal parts of a single ministry...*Just as prayer is not an option,fasting is not too. (Mat.5:5; 6:16-17). *

*The Purpose of Fasting* *
mrsms 3.07.08 - 06:17am
*Fasting is intentional abstinence from eating.*Its not to be confused with hunger*HEBREW WORD-'tsum'- 'to cover over the mouth'*GREEK WORD-'nesteuo'-'to abstine from food' *A Fast is a conscious,intentional decision to abstain from a time from the pleasure of eating in order to gain vital spiritual benefits. *

*True Fasting involves the following* *
mrsms 3.07.08 - 06:22am
*SEEKING GOD-*Fasting is the time set apart to seek the face of God.*It means abstining from other things that gives you pleasure in for the purpose of giving your whole heart to God in prayer.*Its telling God 'my prayer and answer are more than my pleasures of eating.' *

*PUTTING GOD FIRST* Its putting God first-focussing all attention on Him alone-not on His gifts or blessing , but on God Himself.*Its shows God how much you love and appreciate him.*Fasting is a point of intimacy with God.(jeremi.29:13)*When one fast it means one wants to be with God more than he wants to be with people.*Fasting means God alone is who you want*ITS NOT MATTER OF GETTING SOMETHING FROM GOD...BUT ITS TRY TO GET TO GOD-Because when you find God..You will discover that everything you need comes with him. *

*CREATING AN ENVIRONMENT FOR PRAYER--*its(fasting) time to foster a sensitive environment for the working of prayer.*Whanever you read about fasting in the bible,it always has the word prayer coupled with it.*In Old tastament people fasted in conjuction with wholehearted prayer in times of mourning and repentence. *
