VL05 - 12 - FASTING
from THE DISCIPLE LIFE with Cody D. Thrash Hosted by Cody D. Thrash
Fasting is more than skipping meals—it’s a spiritual discipline that brings the flesh under submission so the spirit can hear clearer, pray deeper, and fight stronger. In this episode, we break down what biblical fasting really is, why God honors it, and how it becomes a turning point in spiritual warfare and personal breakthrough. From Esther’s three-day fast that helped deliver a nation, to Daniel’s partial fast that opened the door to heavenly revelation, Scripture proves that fasting isn’t extreme—it’s effective. We’ll also walk through Jesus’ instructions on the right way to fast (without religious performance), and we’ll unpack the powerhouse promises of Isaiah 58—where God shows what true fasting accomplishes: breaking yokes, lifting burdens, and releasing real freedom. You’ll hear why prayer is fasting’s partner (“fasting without prayer is just dieting”), what misconceptions need to be corrected, and why some battles won’t move until God’s people combine prayer and fasting. If you’re hungry for more of God, needing direction, fighting for your family, or facing a spiritual wall you can’t seem to break through—this lesson will challenge you, steady you, and call you into the kind of fasting that brings heaven into the fight.
