A Call to Fast: The Discipline We Forgot

Описание: Have we forgotten one of the most powerful disciplines Jesus assumed we would practice?

In Matthew 6, Jesus didn’t say if you fast.
He said when.

As we approach Lent, this is a call back to biblical fasting — not ritual, not performance, not dieting — but real hunger for God.

In this message:

• Why fasting is expected for believers
• The connection between fasting and repentance
• How fasting brings breakthrough
• How fasting sharpens spiritual direction
• What consecration really means
• A 40-day fasting framework
• One meal a day structure
• A weekly 36-hour fast

This is about surrender.
This is about hunger.
This is about renewal.

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” — Matthew 5:6

⚠️⚠️ If you have medical conditions, are pregnant, diabetic, or have a history of eating disorders, consult your physician before attempting extended fasting.⚠️⚠️

Let this Lent be different.
