The Thang:

Fasting: like prayer, it shouldn’t be transactional. It should be a posture.

Throughout the Bible, Old and New Testament, we see how important fasting is for our intimate relationship with God.

But when you fast, when you give up something, what are you replacing it with? It should be God.

Key scriptures:

Mark 9:29 (King James Version)
Acts 9:40 (How much Glory to God did Peter give that people turned to the Lord after the miracle?)
Zechariah 7:5 (Thanks Schnitzel for adding this one)
“Do it today as if the Lord was coming tomorrow”

Some benefits of fasting:

1- 1 Peter 4:7 (Self-control)
2- Acts 13: 2-3 (Clear thinking)
3- John 4:31-34 (God sustains us)
4- Matthew 4:17 (He reveals us our short comings and that He is coming back)

Prayers and Praises:

Grant housing
Weather safety
Mrs. Jackie for health
Praise: Schnitzel’s wife and Haggis’ direction in life
