“And every man that striveth for mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.” 1 Cor 9:25
Fasting may seem difficult for many people, but there are many benefits therein.
Fasting is a means of keeping your flesh under control. The fellow who fasts often, accompanying it with Bible study and prayer, will find it easier to live holy.
When you fast, your appetite is under control and the ability to control your appetite is a major factor in determining how much dominion you can have in this world. In Genesis 25:29-34, Esau could not control his appetite and as a result, he lost his birthright.
Be committed to subduing the flesh today through regular fasting and you will live victoriously in the Holy Spirit.
Father, please give me the grace to fast often in Jesus name.
Shalom!
