On this week’s podcast, Pastor Jeremy Johnson speaks about the importance of fasting and how the Bible calls us to do so. As we approach Fear Not Conference with expectancy, its important to “clean house” and make room for new breakthrough to take up space in our lives that might be a bit covered up. When you live in a place long enough, things tend to get messy, even with good intentions. Pastor Jeremy reminds us that fasting helps us to throw out what’s unnecessary, see the work Jesus has already done in our lives, and realign ourselves with truth rather than emotions.

5 Things To Remember About a Fast:

1. Fasting is not about God touching us, it’s about us touching God and actively seeking Him out.

2. Fasting is not a fight with the devil, but it might bring on an attack.

3. Fasting is not just for the spiritually elite. It is for everyone.

4. Prayer is the most important part of fasting. They go hand in hand. Prayer changes things.

5. We need fasting because anything that has been lived in long enough will get messy, out of order and chaotic. It is a form of realigning yourself with truth rather than emotion.

What has God given you that has been hiding under all of the mess of pain, offense and fear and hurt in your life? What are you expectant for during this 10 Day Fast?
