The 5 Most AMAZING Benefits of Spiritual Fasting


Listen Later

Spiritual Fasting has absolutely changed my life for the better and I want to pass on to you five of the amazing categories of benefits today.

Jesus intermittently fasted, Mary fasted, and the Jewish people before Jesus fasted. They had particular fasting days and were perfectly capable of going long periods without food. They ate sparingly, the food was basic and healthy and there was not an abundance of it.

Fasting was expected in most religious cultures in the past. The secular culture of today calls it Intermittent Fasting but paired with a meaningful spiritual purpose, we call it Catholic Fasting or Spiritual Fasting now.

Most people don't do it today because of a lack of knowledge and they think it requires being wildly hungry and withstanding huge amounts of discomfort. This is untrue. As scripture says,

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge" - Hosea 4:6

Spiritual Fasting is amazing for you and when done correctly it requires being only mildly hungry and withstanding mild discomfort once in a while both resulting in HUGE benefits for you and those that you love. With the Delay and Pray method - we concentrate on Metabolic Flexibility using a very effective rhythm of the week called the Eat Fast Feast Cycle.

In this episode, we uncover the life-changing effects of spiritual fasting and learn how to integrate it as a lifestyle for optimal health and spiritual growth.
