WHAT FASTING OFFERS (7): SPEEDY REVERBERATION OF HEALING/HEALTH

… and thine health shall spring forth speedily: …Isaiah 58.8 (KJV)

When we say that fasting springs forth speedily your healing and health, we are just stating the obvious both from scriptures and from raw testimonies. There is no sickness that cannot be terminated by fasting. Even medical doctors, have discovered that majority of ailments is a function of what people eat, so when you eliminate such diets, the body naturally recovers. Cancers have been seen to dry up and die in long fasts and afterwards the person tests showed that he/she was cancer free. Your health springing forth speedily is both supernaturally and naturally. The body has been enabled by the creator to heal itself in some cases that the challenge is not organic. Just going on a 21 days to 40 days total fast can take care of your frequent health challenges, and afterwards, resume eating healthy ensures that you sustain the gains of your fast. And all this is just naturally, the body repairs itself. Please refer to the scientifically certified repair workings of fasting as we have already seen.

WHAT FASTING OFFERS (6): ERUPTION OF SPIRITUAL UNDERSTANDING

Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, …
Isaiah 58:8 (KJV)

We are living in the days of prophetic gross darkness (see Isaiah 60:1-2). Darkness connotes the devil and all his manifestations. Darkness is a state of visionlessness, purposelessness, and hopelessness. Darkness is a state where you do not know what to do, where to go and what to expect. Darkness is a state of confusion, contradiction, conflict and depression. Light here implies illumination, insight, understanding and enlightenment. Light here means the opening of the Word of God for you to the point of understanding and seeing really what God is showing you from the pages of scripture. To be lighted is to be lifted. To be illuminated is to be elevated. The glory of your life is at the mercy of light because until you are illuminated, you will end up eliminated. Your change of story is at the instance of light. Until you can see it, you cannot seize it. Your inheritance in HaMashiach (Christ) is available and ready for the taking, but it would take you to see it to seize it. So anything that you would do to see the hidden treasures behind the written Word, it is wisdom to go for it.

WHAT FASTING OFFERS (5): BEST WAY TO PREPARE FOR THE RAPTURE

WHAT FASTING OFFERS (5): BEST WAY TO PREPARE FOR THE RAPTURE

So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many? and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.Hebrews 9:28 (KJV)

“And unto them that look for him” is the requirement for the rapture. Unto them that yearn for him shall he appear the second time unto salutation. Beloved, are you longing for the return of the Lord Yahushua? The thought of the return of the Lord Yahushua is not a pleasant one for many. Young ladies on the line for marriage would say “let Him wait till I marry!” Same with young men on the line for marriage. So many believers want the Lord to delay His coming so they can achieve one thing or the other. They are not even desiring His coming let alone looking for it. The truth is that when you are living with a lot of worldliness, you would not desire His soon return. You are in love with the things of the world and for you His return is a distraction. Many believers would run away from pulpits that constantly remind them of the eminent return of the Lord. The ears of so many believers have started itching at the sound of Maranatha! (our Lord come!). Why? Because fasting has become a thing for pastors and ministers for so many believers. No wonder, worldliness has eaten into the very fabrics of our souls. This world now holds so much attraction and lure for many that there is no longer any difference between them and the world. In fact, they are now imitating the world.

WHAT FASTING OFFERS (4): CONSECRATION TO THE LORD YAHUSHUA

WHAT FASTING OFFERS (4): CONSECRATION TO THE LORD YAHUSHUA

Blow a trumpet in Zion, Consecrate a fast, proclaim a solemn assembly,
Joel 2:15 (NASB)

Your life as a believer is a consecration to our Lord and Saviour Yahushua HaMashiach. However, there is a difference between the potential and the reality. Most believers are living daily lives of filth and are being defeated by sin. Their lives is anything but a life of consecration. Why is this the case? The answer may not be far-fetched when you observe their daily lives. Fasting offers us the opportunity to consecrate our lives and to maintain that consecration. A believer’s consecration is probably highest during fasting. Romans 12:1 says, “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.” How do we present our bodies as living sacrifices to Adonai? It is through fasting. When you fast, you are consecrating your body to Adonai as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable. Until your body is on the altar, you cannot live a consecrated life. It is practically impossible. That is why the Lord Yahushua didn’t say “if you fast” in Matthew 6:16, rather He says “Moreover when ye fast”. He knows that you cannot walk acceptably with the Holy Spirit if your body is not laid at the altar as a living sacrifice.

WHAT FASTING OFFERS (2): THE HIGHEST INTENSIVE PRAYER

WHAT FASTING OFFERS (2): THE HIGHEST INTENSIVE PRAYER

O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;Psalms 63:1 (KJV)

Fasting is the expression of the longing of the flesh after Adonai. Fasting is the flesh saying that there is something more important to me now than taking care of me. It is in that longing state that the soul can express the highest intensity of prayer possible. The earnestness that makes prayer produce tremendous power that is dynamic in its working is only possible in a fast. Fasting offers you the opportunity to produce the highest intensity of prayer that can ever be possible from the human soul. The flesh in a fast has been completely dethroned and the soul is at its purest state and can easily connect to the frequency of Adonai. This accounts why in a long fast, once you cross 14 days to 21 days, it just seems your eyes pops open and you begin to see into the realm of the spirit easily. At that point, your prayer even without eloquence or vigour in expressing it, carries such power that blows the mind of the world around you. Most people think that what makes prayer powerful is the expression when you are praying. Others thing that your demonstrations will avail in the realm of the spirit, so they go ahead to shout, haul, kick, box and do all manner of gymnastics. But the intensity of prayer is not in any of those things. When you are around 21 days and above in your total fast, without even energy, if you have opportunity to see a demoniac, just a “go” under your breathe sends the legion quaking out.

WHAT FASTING OFFERS (1): MORTIFICATION OF THE FLESH

WHAT FASTING OFFERS (1): MORTIFICATION OF THE FLESH

For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.Romans 8:13 (KJV)

We have said over and over again that fasting does not change Adonai. You are not fasting to get Yahweh to change His mind because He is not a man with shifting shadows (James 1:17 NASB). Fasting is a tool to dethrone the flesh and until fasting has accomplished this task, you have not fasted. In Colossians 3:5, we see what must be put to death, “Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth? fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:” and they are not something that you can do once and for all. That accounts why consecrational fasts should be a regular routine for any serious minded believer that is expecting the rapture. But there is a long fast that breaks the holds of these members of your flesh and disables them that they become no more issues in your life. You must take opportunity of at least one 21 or 40 days total fast just to deal with any form of flesh manifestation in your life. Yours may not be fornication, but what of bitterness, pride, hatred, gossip, wrath, malice, lies, envy and jealousy (see Colossians 3:8-9). Even among ministers, you see a lot of envy and jealousy. You need a total fast to lay yourself down at the altar and let the Lord Holy Spirit expose you to you.

SCRIPTURAL FASTING

SCRIPTURAL FASTING

Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.Matthew 6:16 (KJV)

There are three activities that are non-negotiable for the believer. They are a matter of when and not if. First is giving. Second is praying and the third is fasting. These activities are a matter of living for the believer. You cannot live the life of HaMashiach (Christ, Messiah, the Anointed one) without giving, praying and fasting. So many have chosen giving and praying and forsaken fasting and that accounts for the powerlessness in the Church today. With all that Yahushua is, he needed to fast for forty days, that should tell you that fasting is a must, it is a matter of when and not if. Until you fast, you cannot connect the power to fulfill your destiny on earth. Until you fast, there are what Yahushua called “this kind” that cannot be solved in your life (see Matthew 17:21). You should be fasting as often as you are praying and giving. Everybody in all ages that have connected with power with Yahweh fasted. Fasting does not change Elohim but fasting changes you.

WHAT IS FASTING?

#WordForTodayDevotional

Tuesday January 3, 2023

WHAT IS FASTING?

And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.Matthew 4:2 (KJV)

There is a misunderstanding among believers as to what a fast is and because of that lack of knowledge, Satan deceives a lot of believers. Webster’s, and also the Bible Dictionary, define fasting as, “abstinence from food. Especially as a religious observance.” (FAST: “To abstain from food.”). We may ask the question, “Is water food?“ First, we will consider Webster’s definition of food, and it reads as follows: “Food: nutriment; nourishment in solid form.” Food and water-drinking are two different things. To do without water results in thirsting, and thirsting means, “a great desire to drink.” Fasting will be understood better if we recognize these facts. One should not associate abstinence from water, with the subject of fasting; thus, we see the contradistinction between food and water. Fasting has nothing with drinking water. In fact, you should drink water while you are fasting for several reasons. When you are on a fast, your body goes into cleansing called detoxification. This process needs a lot of water to complete. When we are talking about a fast here, we are talking about a protracted fast or a complete fast. We are dealing with the type of fast taken by the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach. A fast like that of Paul, or Daniel: “Bible Fast.” A complete fast is a fast from the time hunger leaves, until the time hunger returns. Such a fast may continue from twenty-one to forty days, depending on the individual, and also on the amount of time it takes you to get your prayers through to Heaven.
