Primarily, the purpose of fasting is self-humbling. Fasting is a means ordained by God for us to humble ourselves before Him. Throughout the Bible God requires His people to humble themselves. Today Derek will look at Scriptures exemplifying this practice of fasting.

Jesus began His ministry with forty days of fasting and came back in the power of the Spirit. Fasting was not to be just a single, one-time, unusual occurrence but a discipline to follow regularly. Fasting was practiced by the apostles and taught to their new disciples.

How do we release the power of God that is within us? Our carnal or fleshly mind wants to run things but that isn’t how it’s done in the spirit realm. Fasting helps bring your carnal self under submission to the spirit so you can hear from God and obey Him; not fight against Him.

Derek looks at two examples from Scripture where fasting was the means to turn the course of events for nations. Prayer and fasting can still call forth divine intervention on behalf of God’s people and the critical situation in the world today.
