Show Notes: In this message, Pastor Casey Kendall dives into Isaiah 58, calling us to prepare our hearts for an upcoming fast from March 30th to April 5th. Fasting is not about routine or ritual but about surrender, breaking up the hardened soil of our hearts so God can plant seeds of transformation.Throughout this teaching, Pastor Casey challenges us to examine our spiritual lives, repent from anything that hinders our walk with Jesus, and embrace fasting as a way to draw near to Him. Are we willing to break up with the things that hold us back—bitterness, anger, distractions—so we can experience true breakthrough?Key Takeaways:The Purpose of Fasting – Fasting isn’t about earning God’s favor but about positioning ourselves to receive His presence.Submission Leads to Breakthrough – True transformation starts with surrender and repentance.Fasting is Spiritual Warfare – It breaks strongholds, loosens the bonds of wickedness, and leads to healing.Fasting with a Purpose – We’re not just giving something up; we’re replacing it with seeking the Lord.Take time this week to ask:What is God calling me to fast from?What do I need to confess and surrender?How can I step into this season with expectation for God to move?Let’s prepare our hearts for a deeper work of the Holy Spirit!🔗 For more details about fasting and resources, visit wearebridgetown.com📍 Join us in person Sundays at 10:30 AMThanks for listening to the Bridgetown Church Podcast—see you next week!
