Entering God’s Rest
Hebrews 4:1-11
As we enter into the week of our personal and corporate time of spiritual consecration in prayer and fasting, here are some facts about fasting.
Announce a time of fasting; call the people together for a Solemn Assembly. Bring the leaders and all the members of our church into the house of the Lord. Cry out to Him there!
Joel 1:14
As we enter into the week of our personal and corporate time of spiritual consecration in prayer and fasting, here are some facts about fasting.
Fasting is the deliberate abstinence from some form of physical gratification for a period of time in order to achieve a greater spiritual goal.
It usually involves setting aside food, but we can fast from any physical appetite, including sex within marriage, television, Internet, social media, etc.
The idea is to devote the time we would ordinarily spend on these activities to prayer and worship before the Lord.
Then I proclaimed a fast . . . that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek from Him.
– Ezra 8:21
So we fasted and petitioned our God about this, and He answered our prayer.
– Ezra 8:23
They sat there before the Lord and fasted that day until evening and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord.
– Judges 20:26
Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything. Let them not feed or drink water . . . and let them call out mightily to God.
– Jonah 3:7-8
