Fasting

What does it truly mean to fast? Many Christians have adopted fasting practices that look more like modified Buddhism than anything the apostles practised. Paul never declared a 40-day fast of hunger — he was often without food because of the demands of ministry, not religious ritual. True biblical fasting is not primarily about food abstinence; it is about focus. When the early Church fasted, they were setting aside distractions to seek the face of God and hear His direction. Fasting is consecration — redirecting your attention and energy toward God and His purposes. Are you fasting, or are you just hungry?
