Fasting is not just for the 6 weeks of Lent, it should be a regular part of our spiritual walk. The spiritual discipline of fasting is one way that we can demonstrate that we are not slaves to our desires. Through fasting we develop a hunger for God that exceeds our physical hunger and learn to focus our thoughts and efforts on spiritual matters. Fasting is seen as a way to develop spiritual discernment, strengthen faith, and connect more deeply with God's power. Let's learn what the Bible teaches on this subject.
