What does it mean to fast and pray?
Fasting is abstinence from food with a spiritual goal in mind. It is when we give up the most natural thing we are made to do, which is eat, in order to pursue the God of Heaven to do something supernatural in our lives.
What we are prone to do is try to redefine what God's word says to accommodate our own personal lifestyle. We think if we're giving up something else, you know, that that is just as good.
The Bible talks about the abstinence of food; that's what fasting is. Anyone that's going on a fast needs to determine what are the things that I'm really fasting for.
I also like to always tag it with a verse because I want to stand on the energy and the power of God's word. I intercede or I petition God about what I am fasting about.
