Fasting
from Pastor Jeffrey Walter Hosted by Christ Academy for All Nations
Fasting is often misconstrued in Christendom. This misunderstanding, founded on man’s desire to rule, stems primarily from two main schools of thought. The first is the notion that there is nothing man can do to move (influence) God, while the second implies that finding God must be merited through steps a man must take. What do the Scriptures speak of on this matter? What is the true essence of fasting? In this message, “Fasting”, Pastor Jeffery Walter explains how man's main evil (sin), particularly the desire to control one’s life, lurks even in his spiritual efforts. He debunks the misconceptions of fasting and establishes that all of man's efforts are to migrate him to a place where he is prepared to receive from God, the constant giver. He explains how external fasting should be founded on spiritual fasting (turning away from evils) and demonstrates how to practically use it to bring one’s outer self into alignment with their inner spiritual deposit. This message will help you understand the true meaning of fasting - both spiritual and external, and how to use it to align your heart to God and reap the full benefits as designed by Him. Theme Scripture: Matthew 6:7-8 [KJV] 7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. 8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. Other Scripture: Roman 5:8 [KJV]
