SET APART
Spiritual Fasting is a mighty tool that each believer should be familiar with.
It's not just a 1 time thing or in desperation, but a method of discipline to be used regularly.
TRAIN, STRENGTHEN, OVERCOME.
When you enter into a spiritual fast, it SETS you APART, not just from the world, but from your very own flesh. Allowing you to be transformed and strengthened through the spirit 🙌
Here are 4 ways a spiritual fast can be used as a tool to SET you APART from your flesh:
🔥Spiritual exercise = training for the spirit
When we starve our flesh from our desires, passions, cravings, it allows for the spirit to grow stronger & gain dominance.
SELF DENIAL
🔥Overcoming the works of the flesh
As Romans 8:13 says "if we live according to the flesh we will die. But if by the spirit, we put to death the misdeeds of the body you will live." When we deny our body of it's fleshy desires we are able to overcome the "works" of the flesh. OVERCOME
🔥Spiritual hunger over physical hunger
When we come into a spiritual fast, seeking God & His presence, drives out the need to rely on physical hunger=spiritual hunger is stronger. When we entertain the flesh our spirit is weak. When we discipline the flesh our spirit is willing. SPIRITUAL STRENGTH
🔥Creating a Crucified life
We have been set apart, called to deny the flesh, crucifying the flesh to seek out a life of self denial rather than self gratification. Our old ways dead, now new creations IN Christ Jesus. This requires a lifestyle of denying, crucifying, and surrender. SPIRIT LED LIFE
This 21 day Spiritual Fast is an opportunity to TRAIN DISCIPLINE OVERCOME the desires of our flesh. When we seek God's presence, self reflect, and repent we are able to truly be SET APART & ALIGNED with the will of the father. See you at the table. Are you in?
