Benefits of Fasting:🤗
*Fasting was an expected discipline in both the Old and New Testament eras.
*Fasting and prayer can restore the loss of the “first love” for your Lord and result in a more intimate relationship with Christ.
*Fasting is a biblical way to truly humble yourself in the sight of God.
*Fasting enables the Holy Spirit to reveal your true spiritual condition, resulting in brokenness, repentance, and a transformed life.
*Fasting will encourage the Holy Spirit to quicken the Word of God in your heart and His truth will become more meaningful to you.
*Fasting can transform your prayer life into a richer and more personal experience.
*Fasting can result in a dynamic personal revival in your own life and make you a channel of revival to others.

Many times we don’t fast because we’ve lost our spiritual appetite. 🍇J.Piper says, “The absence of fasting is the measure of our contentment with the absence of Christ.” Piper adds, “If we don’t feel strong desires for the manifestation of the glory of God, it is not because we have drunk deeply and are satisfied. It is because we have nibbled so long at the table of the world. Our soul is stuffed with small things, and there is no room for the great.” ✨
This stands so real in the life of any person who has been on both sides at one time or another. You have felt either the lack of hunger for him or the thirst for his presence.🌱
Fasting is a much-needed discipline in the life of a believer. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
It truly is the “path of pleasant pain,” as J. Piper calls it. As you empty yourself physically and spiritually, you open the door for God to step in and do the miraculous. 🙌🏼Your relationship with the Lord is taken to a whole new level. 🙌🏼You also become more sensitive to the work of the Holy Spirit, which enables you to hear God’s voice more clearly.🍀🌼
Read past post in 2020 (about July or around )that I refer to fasting and mental clarity and hearing the voice of god more clearly.
CONFIRMATION FOLKS !! 🤗
