Why Fasting is the Most Underutilized Weapon in the Modern Church

Описание: Is your spiritual walk hindered by "adult" overthinking? In this message, we explore why Jesus calls us to a "delusional" level of trust and how the underutilized weapon of fasting can silence the flesh and restore your identity as a child of God.

Fasting is often forgotten or simplified in the modern church, yet it remains a serious tool for victory over depression, sickness, and spiritual emptiness. By looking at Matthew 18, we see that greatness is not about titles or status, but about the humility and total dependence of a child. We also tackle the hard truth: temptations are inevitable, and defeating them requires the radical discipline of "cutting off" what causes us to stumble.
