Pastor Vlad continues on to part four of the Digging Wells Sermon Series, "Fast Forward". He touches on the three "S" of fasting and how it restores hunger, you become separated for the Holy Spirit and you become prepared for your called work.

Notes

Acts 13:2-4

Fasting is not hunger strike

Fasting is not diet

Fasting is not starvation

Early christians fasted two days of the week, Wednesday and Friday.

Fasting and prayer was linked together.

FASTING IS SERVING THE LORD

A. Fasting restores my hunger

If you are waiting on God, do what waiters do: serve. (Luke 12:37-38). B. Fasting control my appetites.

Fasting is preparation for temptation.

C. Fasting increases sensitivity to Holy Spirit.

Fasting is not making God talk but make me hear

FASTING IS ABOUT SEPARATED TO THE LORD

A. Fasting is being separated to the Holy Spirit.

B. A vessel that honors the Holy Spirit will be a vessel that the Holy Spirit will honor (1 Samuel 2:30) Calling is discovered (gold, silver, wood, clay) (2 Timothy 2:20-21)

Consecration is decided (honor or dishonored)

C. You are enslaved by what you enjoy.

What you do in your free time will either set you free or enslave you.

You are what you enjoy

It’s not about formula of what to separate from but focus on what to separate to.

FASTING AS SENDING BY THE LORD

A. Paul was sent by Spirit but first he was separated to the Spirit.

B. There is your current work and your called work.

C. Your called work comes with confirmation and commission.
