My spirit is that non-physical part of me that will continue on after death.

When, Why and How
Biblically and historically there was a consistent rhythm of fasting among the people of God.
When should we fast?
Regularly/rhythmically and responsively.
Regularly/rhythmically and responsively.
Fasting is about three things: attentiveness, compassion and freedom.
Fasting has the power to direct our Attention to the most important things.
Why fast? It has the power to produce Compassion.
Fasting is a pathway to Freedom
1) To what degree do my appetites control me and to what degree do I control my appetites?
2) What are the dominant appetites vying for control of my life?
The final question to ask regarding fasting is “How?” In general: Just Do It.
Jesus never commanded us to fast. I assume that is because, like the topic of prayer, he assumes we have a regular practice of fasting for spiritual purposes.
