Fasting

[FireHeart]

I personally have not felt lead to fast food wise and I respect those who fast to become closer to God however there is also another kind of fasting I wish for everyone to consider and that is the fasting of time.

Everyday I am always seeking to know him more always craving to have more of him to know more of him to develop a deeper bond and love with him I have what you may call a very hungry and greedy heart for him. In this deep desire and hunger for him while I could have been watching a movie or playing games or doing something else I spent all this time with him and thus I grew very close to him very fast.
in fasting we are depriving our bodies of the needs it requires to be healthy and functional physically and in the old testament this was quite a common practice however if we deprive our spirit of the needs it requires that is a much heavier toll.

Jesus said that it is not what goes into the body that is bad but what comes out of it.

One can fast but still spout sin.

in the old testament this was quite a common practice - Quote from FireHeart

Fasting was quite common in New Testament also, and is still some what common today.

Agree with the time factor point and prioritizing our time wisely.
