Breaking Through the Barriers of Fasting

Throughout both the Old and New Testament we find examples of the people of God fasting – and God moving. Despite these illustrations in Scripture, various uncertainties surround the concept of fasting in our modern world. Does fasting belong to another era or should it still form an integral part of our walk of faith? Join Gerrit Nel on his journey through the Old and New Testament as he explores the concept and foundation of fasting. Drawing from Scripture, he shares the purposes behind and the reasons for fasting as well as the precise Biblical guidelines of how we should fast – and what we can expect in turn. Fasting is not a bargaining chip or a way of twisting God’s arm. It is our faith response in obedience to a specific call from God to allow His Spirit to sustain us.
