Title Isaiah 58:6 Victory achieved through fasting
Contents Isaiah 58:6 / Victory gained through fasting
The human body can be healthy only when the nutrients it needs are supplied through proper food intake. The ingested food is digested by the body and used as energy to form waste products. If this waste product is not handled well, it can harm your health. The accumulation of waste products due to excessive intake of food causes the cells to age and cause various adult diseases.
In this sense, fasting can be an important means of opening the pathways for waste excretion and allowing cells to rest and restore health. It is said that the members of the early church fasted twice a week, Wednesday and Friday.
Breakfast is called breakfast in English, which means to break the fast. If you eat dinner lightly early, it has the effect of fasting for 12 hours a day, which gives you enough room to discharge waste products and toxins from your cells.
But the greatest benefit of fasting is that through victory in spiritual warfare and outright self-denial, all fleshly lusts are suppressed. In other words, through my patience, I will restore my relationship with God as well as my spirituality.
After Paul was blind on the road to Damascus, he fasted for three days and regained his sight. While serving the Lord and fasting, I heard the Holy Spirit speaking to me (Acts 13:2). The fasting of Daniel, John the Baptist, and Esther became a source of tremendous power to save not only themselves but all the people of the country.
In addition to these biblical figures, Jesus fasted before beginning his public ministry and fought the devil and was victorious. In particular, He advised that fasting and prayer is the most powerful weapon for victory in spiritual warfare (Matt.
Fasting frees us from the bondage of atrocities before us. It means that evil forces will release what has bound people with malice. It impresses God to set you free from bondage.
Also, fasting loosens the heavy yoke cord. It frees us from the bondage of a yoke tormented by difficult problems. to solve problems. So let me walk with you in joy. It removes the forces that hinder you spiritually and helps you to overcome obstacles that have been placed on you.
Fasting sets the oppressed free. Theologically, man is a fatal slave under the law of sin and death (Romans 8:2). Jesus said that if a person sins even once, he is a slave to sin (John 8:34). Only Jesus can set these people free (John 8:36). There is freedom only where the Spirit of the Lord is (2 Corinthians 3:17).
Fasting breaks every yoke. Elijah, who had a great victory in response to God's response when he confronted the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel, was gripped with fear because Queen Jezebel, who served Baal, said that he would kill you in the same way. When I fell into spiritual stagnation and depression like this, I gave up all food and drink and asked God to die. I was able to rely on the power of the plant by eating the water the angel gave me and the bread baked on charcoal. So they marched day and night for forty days and came to Mount Horeb, where they heard the voice of God (1 Kings 19:4-8).
In view of all of this, fasting can break every atrocious yoke, which in turn allows us to enjoy eternal freedom. When we fast and kneel before God and cry out, Satan can no longer yoke us.
I pray that you will be victorious in life and faith through fasting that loosens the bonds of viciousness, unties the yokes, and sets the oppressed free.
