This episode continues a mini-devotional on the spiritual discipline of fasting, drawing nine practical purposes from Isaiah 58 — including freedom from addiction, problem-solving, revival, healing, clearer decision-making, and serving others.

It also offers real-life examples, guidance on how to fast and pray, and cautions about legalism, pride, and trying to manipulate God, while inviting listeners to share testimonies of God’s work.

In this episode of Behind the Sermon and More, the speaker delivers a short devotional on fasting, emphasizing that Jesus teaches fasting as an expectation and outlining its biblical purpose. He explains different kinds of fasts—normal, partial, absolute, private, congregational, and national—and why fasting belongs to the life of a believer.

The episode also includes practical examples and encouragement to fast and pray for specific needs, plus an invitation to share testimonies of how fasting has shaped personal and communal spiritual life.
