Discipline of Fasting

Fasting is unfortunately a subject that is not discussed too often in sermons and Christian groups. However, fasting is mentioned at least seventy seven times throughout the Bible. This alone shows us just how important the spiritual discipline of fasting is for our lives. We should fast whenever we have an important decision to make or when a serious issue needs to be addressed. Fasting demonstrates that we as believers understand that the Lord is sufficient and good.
