FASTING IN THE BIBLE, APRIL 8 – MAY 29

Posts every Wednesday and Friday to learn about fasting in the Bible. We will review the whole Bible, exploring what happened when fasting was a special focus for the people of Israel, in the Old Testament and the New Testament. Keeping in mind the way that Jesus taught us to fast, we will find new ways for us to enact a spiritual habit of fasting in our modern lives.

COMING NEXT: HUNGER FOR THE HARVEST, JUNE 2 AUGUST 21

Posts every Wednesday and Friday to learn about the connection between fasting and His harvest. We will explore together how fasting increases your hunger for God, creating a position of humility that thirsts for holy intimacy and holy maturity. Helping others and planting seeds will become a natural and a supernatural response. Jesus is the Lord of the Harvest, He will use you in the lives of others to further His kingdom.

    You there! Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters. You who have no money come, buy and eat. Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost. Why do you spend money for what does not give you strength and your labor for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me and eat what…

  • Day 16: Refueled

    Jesus had a busy day: He said to Simon and Andrew, “Follow Me and I will make you fishers of men.” IMMEDIATELY they left their nets and followed Him. And going on a little farther, He saw James and John. IMMEDIATELY He called them and they went away to follow Him. They went into Capernaum…

  • Day 15: Watered

    This is what the LORD, who made you and formed you in the womb, says, “Do not fear, for I will pour water on the thirsty land and streams on the dry ground. I will pour out My Spirit on your children and My blessing on your descendants. They will spring up like grass in…
