Authentic Fasting From James MacDonald보기

When to Fast
When should we fast? Turn to Isaiah 58 and look at it verse-by-verse for the answers.
1. When caught in a sinful pattern. “Is this not the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of wickedness . . .” When I can’t seem to break out of a sinful pattern, I should fast (Isaiah 58:6).
2. When there is a heavy burden. “To undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, to break every yoke” (Isaiah 58:6).
3. When oppressed by the enemy. “ . . . to let the oppressed go free” (Isaiah 58:6).
4. When we want to give to someone else. “Is the fast not to share your bread with the hungry and bring the homeless into your house?” (Isaiah 58:6).
5. When we need to be encouraged. “Then shall your light break forth like the dawn. Your healing shall spring forth speedily and righteousness shall go before you. . . ” (Isaiah 58:8).
6. When an answer to prayer is needed. “Then you should call, and the LORD will answer; you shall cry . . . and He will say: Here I am . . .” (Isaiah 58:9).
7. When we need to examine ourselves. “If you take away the yoke from your midst, the pointing finger and the spreading wickedness . . .” (Isaiah 58:10).
8. When we need direction. “And the LORD will guide you continually. . .” (Isaiah 58:11).
9. When we need spiritual restoration. “. . . And He will make your bones strong. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring of water whose waters do not fail” (Isaiah 58:11).
10. When we need revival. “And your ancient ruins will be rebuilt; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations . . .” (Isaiah 58:12).
I went through that passage very quickly, but go back over those verses yourself during a time of praying and fasting. It will mean everything to the quality of your discipleship.
Prayer – Father, teach me how to walk in a manner pleasing to You. I long for a closer fellowship with You. And fasting is a way to humble myself before You, to get You in the right perspective. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

묵상 소개

When something has a hold on you, when you want to do the right thing, but don’t. And wish you could break free... When you are in a sinful pattern, or have a heavy burden, anytime you need more of what only God can provide you need to develop the discipline of fasting. Learn about this spiritual discipline, and let it ignite your hunger for God and increase your capacity to choose that which truly satisfies.
