Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:19

Join Us as we return to the neglected discipline of fasting. Jan. 16 am-19 am
In the Old Testament, we see the children of Israel:
-
fasting out of sorrow in Judges 20:26;
-
fasting due to repentance in 1 Samuel 7:6;
-
fasting as an act of mourning in 1 Samuel 31:13;
-
fasting in intense times of seeking the Lord in 2 Samuel 12:16;
-
and fasting as an act of humility before the Lord to seek His favor in Ezra 8:21, among other examples.
Then Jesus continues by saying:
Whenever you fast, do not put on a gloomy face as the hypocrites do, for they neglect their appearance so that they will be noticed by men when they are fasting. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full.
​
But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face so that your fasting will not be noticed by men, but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you. (Matthew 6:16-18, bold added).
​
Jesus said, "But the days will come; and when the bridegroom is taken away from them, then they will fast in those days. (Luke 5:35, bold added; cf. Matthew 9:14-15 and Mark 2:19-20) The disciples restrained from fasting for a season; while Jesus was with them. Afterward, Jesus said they would fast.
