Fasting

This week's Way to Go Podcast features Pastor Bill McMinn and Bradly Brobst exploring the profound topic of fasting. Drawing inspiration from biblical examples, the discussion highlights various aspects of fasting:

  1. To Show Humility: Drawing from Psalm 35:13-14, fasting is presented as a demonstration of humility before God. Just as Moses and Christ fasted, it is a posture of prayer and reverence.

  2. To Show Repentance: Ahab, known for his evil deeds, repented through fasting in 1 Kings 21:25-27. Similarly, the Ninevites, including their king, fasted as a sign of repentance in Jonah 3:5-9.

  3. Empowers Prayer: Fasting is shown to enhance the effectiveness of prayer, as seen in Mark 9:28-29 and Ezra 8:21-23. It signifies a humble approach to seek God's guidance and intervention.

  4. Part of Revival: In 1 Samuel 7:6, fasting is depicted as part of the process of revival, where individuals gather, confess their sins, and seek to return to the Lord.

The podcast emphasizes that fasting involves deprivation of food, forsaking comforts, and maintaining a private practice, as instructed in Matthew 6:16-18. The ultimate focus is on seeking God's approval rather than showcasing one's fasting to others.

Listeners are encouraged to connect with Eagleville Bible Church through various platforms:
