In this episode of the Inner Revival podcast, Monika Kirkland shares her personal journey with fasting, exploring its spiritual significance and transformative power. She discusses the challenges of modern life that distract from intimacy with God and emphasizes the importance of fasting as a spiritual practice. Monika provides practical advice on how to incorporate fasting into daily life, encouraging listeners to seek a deeper relationship with God through this discipline.   Takeaways: Fasting helps resist the idols of comfort and distraction. Fasting is modeled in both the Old and New Testaments. It's not about earning God's love, but about intimacy with Him. Fasting teaches reliance on God rather than self-reliance. Fasting can produce self-control, a fruit of the Spirit. True fasting is about feasting on God's presence.   CONNECT WITH MONIKA  Sign up for my monthly email list and receive a FREE PDF copy of my four-week devotional "Draw Near." https://mailchi.mp/488305f9845f/oh-hello Follow Monika on Instagram for more faith, lifestyle, & encouragement https://www.instagram.com/monikakirkland/
