It is quite easy to understand what the bible says about fasting, but many Christians do not know what it means or how it applies to them.

KAMPALA | LIFESTYLE UGANDA (https://lifestyleuganda.com/) — Fasting is quite simple in the bible, yet many Christians fail to understand its meaning or how it applies to their lives. The bible definition of fasting in the New Testament simply means one who fasts for religious reasons or is a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ.

  • Fasting is also necessary for perfect and progressive salvation from sin.
  • This book of Hebrews tells us that fasting is necessary for obtaining eternal life.
  • It is also important that you avoid doing anything that will make you feel ill.
  • Check out also TB Joshua, 57, Evangelical Pastor Dies.
  • Visit Lifestyle Uganda homepage for more stories like this.

It is also written in the New Testament that those who fast are cleansed by the Holy Spirit and receive the remission of their sins. Fasting is also necessary for perfect and progressive salvation from sin.

What the bible says about fasting may surprise some, however, there is certainly a purpose for fasting. The reason fasting is necessary for salvation is that the gift of grace has been given to everyone.

We were created in the image and likeness of God, and therefore we have access to His infinite resources which He alone possesses. We were designed by God to fellowship with Him.

If we fellowship with Him, we can be cleansed and receive the remission of our sins, and find grace to remain in union with Him forever.

The first place that we need to look at what the bible says about fasting is in the New Testament book of Hebrews. This book of Hebrews tells us that fasting is necessary for obtaining eternal life.

It is also necessary to understand that in order to enjoy these benefits we must continually feed off of food that is clean and pure. To do this, we must give up any kind of unclean food and drink only unclean water.

The next place that you should look at what the bible says about fasting is in the book of Acts. Here the apostles instruct the elders of their church to fast. They do this by having a special fast for ten days.

During this time they are to fast, speak in the Spirit and ask God for help and assistance. When we have a strong personal relationship with God He will provide for our needs and He will help and heal us.

You might wonder how long you can fast. When you begin to fast, you will notice that it begins in your daily eating habits. You will begin to eat foods that are healthier and more nutritious. 

You must remember that when we go through a fast we are not eating normally, but we are receiving more nourishment than we normally receive.

It is important to speak in the Spirit when you are fasting. When you do this you will become more receptive to receiving the Word of God. When we speak in the Spirit the Holy Spirit will take direct charge of our mind and body.

If we don’t obey what the Spirit is telling us to do then the Father in Heaven will punish us for our disobedience. It is important to obey what the Spirit teaches us if we expect to receive benefits from fasting.

It is also important that you avoid doing anything that will make you feel ill. When you are fasting you should not have any desserts or salty foods. We have to remember that fasting is not about eating anything that is bad but about eating what the Lord has prepared for us to eat.

It is our responsibility to ask God for His help whenever we need Him. We must be diligent and never think that it is bad to ask for His help.

There are many books that tell you what bible verses are good to read when we are fasting. You should find a book that talks about the spiritual benefits of fasting.

When you are doing a fast you should know that it is not only the body that is strengthened but God is defeating the evil spirit, which is the cause of many troubles in the world.

When we are doing a spiritual fast we will also receive the Holy Spirit within us to help and assist us in all that we need to do. Fasting is an important part of the Christian life and it can help us to accomplish more in our life.
