So many people misunderstand fasting, but it is truly one of the most important aspects of the Christian lifestyle. We are not of this world, we are just in it, but we love it, don't we?
I am very convicted that I have loved this world, and some of the pleasures of being in it, but I believe that loving this world goes against everything else I believe. I have dealt with it, and am more free than I was, but at times I find myself still being a little attached. I feel like the LORD is saying, especially for our generation that it is time to BREAK ALL of our agreements with this world. It is time to live wholeheartedly for HIM. Not for this world.
I believe that God is setting His people apart to Himself, to love Him, and to bless Him.
Instead of being addicted to the things of this world, I want God to be my addiction, and my obsession.
So, this is why I believe it is so important to fast. Most of our time goes into things that do not matter, and most of the time the only way to break free of it is to take time away from it, and spend that time with God.
