DAY TWO OF FIRST FRUIT FAST.
Understanding First Fruits in Biblical Context
The First Fruit Fast represents a significant opportunity for spiritual renewal and consecration. By dedicating these twenty-one days to seeking God through fasting, prayer, and meditation on Scripture, we position ourselves for enhanced spiritual sensitivity and divine guidance. This practice, grounded in biblical principle and precedent, can serve as a powerful catalyst for spiritual growth and transformation throughout the year.
The issues of the days before demands we continue to prepare ourselves in true spiritual readiness of mentality. The subject of the kingdom’s advancement is not something we approach without the correct understanding and configuration of heart posture.
Heaven is speaking and calling for a kingdom of priesthood who can bear the burden of kingdom government upon their shoulders Like we read of Christ in Isaiah 9:6. If we are to be a kingdom of priestly government that can execute the prophetic intentions of our King in this season, we must have the correct gear and armor of the Spirit.
Fasting prepares us to be well positioned in every aspect of our existence. intentions While fasting is a powerful spiritual discipline, it's essential to maintain a proper perspective. Jesus warns against making a public display of fasting (Matthew 6:16-18), emphasizing the importance of maintaining a humble and sincere heart posture. The focus should remain on seeking God rather than on the act of fasting itself.
In the value order of biblical spirituality, fasting stands as one of the most profound yet often misunderstood practices. The concept of a First Fruit Fast, particularly at the beginning of a new year, draws from deep biblical roots and carries significant spiritual implications for believers seeking deeper communion with God.
The principle of first fruits emerges from the ancient biblical practice where God commanded Israel to bring the first and best of their harvest as an offering. This command, found in Exodus 23:19, established a fundamental spiritual principle: acknowledging God's sovereignty by dedicating the first and best to Him. This practice wasn't merely about agricultural offerings; it represented a heart posture of recognizing divine primacy in all aspects of life.
In the New Testament context, this principle transforms beyond physical offerings. The Apostle Paul refers to Christ as "the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep" (1 Corinthians 15:20), establishing a spiritual paradigm where first fruits become a symbol of dedication and consecration. This theological framework provides the foundation for understanding how we can apply this principle to our spiritual disciplines today.
