Fasting Forum Part 1 – The Crossroads and the Spiritual Benefits
It’s no secret that we are at the crossroads: Opioid and alcohol abuse are leaving a path of destruction in their wake. Obesity is skyrocketing and plaguing the young as well as the old; it has reached epidemic levels in children as well. Diabetes is plaguing millions, and cancer and heart disease are the number one killers in America.
“We pray for God to heal rather than for help with self-discipline to change harmful habits.”
Most are not caring for the wonderful gift of health that God has given them: “There are multitudes of diseases which have their origin in fullness, and might have their end in fasting” (James Morrison).
America, wake up! Fasting doesn’t kill us; over consumption does.
