The Power of Fasting | Spiritual Disciplines

What does the Bible really say about fasting? Is fasting required for Christians? And can fasting truly bring spiritual breakthrough?

In this powerful message from our Spiritual Disciplines series, we explore the biblical foundation of fasting and why Jesus assumed His followers would practice it (Matthew 6, Matthew 9). You’ll discover:

• Why fasting is more than skipping meals
 • How fasting deepens intimacy with God
 • Biblical examples of fasting for breakthrough, healing, repentance, and direction
 • How fasting increases spiritual power and sensitivity to the Holy Spirit
 • Practical steps to begin fasting safely and biblically
 • A personal testimony of transformation through extended fasting

Fasting is not about manipulating God — it’s about humbling ourselves, surrendering comfort, and pursuing deeper spiritual growth. When we hunger for God more than food, He meets us in powerful ways.

If you’ve been praying for breakthrough, freedom from strongholds, healing, clarity, or renewed passion
