Prayer & Fasting

Fasting is the practice of setting aside food for a period of time to focus on the Word and press into the Lord.
Matthew 9:14-15

In fasting, we humble ourselves before God, and declare our dependency upon Him.

When we fast and pray, our goal is to not get our own way but to draw close to Jesus.

The flesh and the Spirit are constantly waging war for the loyalty of our hearts.
Galatians 5:16-25

In fasting, we crucify our flesh so that we can live the Spirit-led life with Christ.
1 Peter 1:3-9, Philippians 2:3-5, Acts 20:24

We know whether we are walking in the flesh or the Spirit by looking at our fruit.
Ephesians 3:20

The greatest enemy keeping us from seeing God work in us and through us is self.
Romans 8:5-6, Romans 8:12-14
