K: Action/Response:

K: Action/Response:

So, this is a call to:
Experiment, try things, compare notes
Learn, Teach, Report, Share current and previous experiences (e.g. Blog) to help and inspire each other, that's OK, but not to boast.
Remember, We're ALL novices
Could it make a difference to Church life?
Keep a record of what you do to help you to learn: Start small, note and record somehow as you learn, how it helps, what was difficult, what was tempting or distracting, and what you could do next time to make your fast more effective and fruitful.

The final Blog section will be a Bible Study resource containing 56 Biblical examples of fasting.
Fasting is worth studying and experimenting with, in the knowledge that none of us are experts, and we can support and teach each other if we record and share our learning.
We don't do this to make ourselves look spiritual, but to help each other learn how to use fasting as a tool to help us Hunger after God, and grow closer to Him.


PRAYER QUESTIONS:

Do YOU hunger after more of God?

Fasting is a spiritual discipline in which you can try to can cut out wrong priorities and distractions, even around necessities like food and other things,

to help you to be more likely to be able to be undistracted in hearing His prompting and guidance, and in sensing His presence and hearing His voice.

Fasting is a God ordained method of removing or distancing ourselves from normal distractions, temptations or interruptions, to focus in on Him, to worship Him, to reduce the likelihood of anything preventing us from interacting with Him.

Do YOU hunger after more of God?

Question:
What actions are you going to take, what are you going to DO, as a result of this teaching on fasting?
If you don't decide, you might just get back into your normal routine and forget.

Pray and commit to learn & draw closer to God through fasting.

Well done if you've come this far!

Jez
