Episode 13 (21 in 2018)
Next couple of podcasts we are going to be talking about benefits that can come from fasting.
But Out of the gate, gotta emphasize: we must center our fasting on Jesus.
“If our fasting is not unto God, we have failed. Physical benefits, success in prayer, the enduing with power, spiritual insights–these must never replace God as the center of our fasting.”
(Foster, p.55)
Today we are going to be talking about how fasting can help us understand ourselves better.
One reason is that under that stress what’s inside comes out. Like a tube of toothpaste getting squeezed. You find out what is inside.
So as you fast, take note of what you are doing and what you are feeling. Come back and share with us the insights you find.
This week’s challenge is the same duration as last week: we are going to fast between one lunch and another (so you skip dinner and breakfast). Obviously you cannot eat during this fast, but this time you are more limited in what you can drink as well. Only water and fruit juice. You will feel hunger this time and you will potentially have a caffeine withdrawal headache.
A possible tip on the caffeine if it worries you: go off caffeine two days in advance so you are fighting the withdrawal while you are hungry.
