Fasting is the ancient practice of abstaining from food for a certain period. It is a spiritual discipline, the purpose of which is training to become more like Jesus. The motivation of our fasting is to draw closer to the heart of God. Fasting is a Christian discipline to break the power of the flesh in our life – our desires, sins, and cravings – and to feed on the Holy Spirit. Fasting is not about getting FROM God, but about getting TO God.
