Fasting make us have more deep relationship with our Father. We will feel more dependent on God and alone with him.

the power of fasting
Fasting shows the will we have for the Father. It reveals our inner spirit which feeds us more. Life is not about eating but being nourished by the word of God. We live off of the spiritual milk that God has given us to be consummed and to be shared with others that we may be fill with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit forever.

Fasting brings us close to God.We can concentrate in prayer.It also give us feeling of clean in our heart and mind and awareness that we doing something with God which we expect God to accomplish it.Another aspect of fasting is to give rest to our digestive system when we have problems in our body.Same way when we are sick in our spiritual life if we fast and pray God renews our spiritual life.

Fasting will help us set us side the desires of our body! It reminds us to think that not of this worldly things are important but the treasures in heaven.

What is good about Fasting? Why fast?

Fasting is denying yourself. It is a sacrifice of nourishment for the brain and the body. Jesus calls us to deny ourselves for others.  To put aside our desires and selfish motivation to help others. More importantly, we should not discuss fasting or seek pity from others.  We're doing it to show God how sincere we are.  

(Mark 8:34) then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 

We fast to show God that we are trying to establish discipline and sacrifice, to have our prayers answered, and to have God's righteous holy hand in our lives

True fasting somewhat detoxifies the body and mind. Sometimes food gives a false sense of well-being and of being content. Removing other things/clutter also that do likewise, opens us up and allows God (if we allow him) to minister, heal, reveal and direct us.

Fasting is just like cleansing our body and mind. When our body and mind are cleansed we will be more focus in God.

IT RELAXES YOUR MIND AND THOUGHTS TO BE ABLE TO COME TO CHRIST WITH A OPEN AND FREE MIND AND SPIRIT. ALL OF THE JUNK IS OUT OF YOUR MIND. ITS BEEN FILTERED OUT AND THAT WAY YOU CAN BE MORE OPEN TO CHRIST.

Fasting

"Moreover when you fast, don't be like the hypocrites, with sad faces. For they disfigure their faces, that they may be seen by men to be fasting. Most certainly I tell you, they have received their reward. But you, when you fast, anoint your head, and wash your face; so that you are not seen by men to be fasting, but by your Father who is in secret, and your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you.
