Fasting
“When you fast, don’t look gloomy and pretend to be spiritual. They want everyone to know they’re fasting, so they appear in public looking miserable and disheveled. Believe me, they’ve already received their reward. When you fast, don’t let it be obvious, but instead, wash your face and groom yourself and realize that your Father in the secret place is the one who is watching all that you do in secret and will continue to reward you.”
Matthew 6:16-18 TPT
Understand that God is saying not to be dramatic with your fasting. It’s nothing to prove spiritually by allowing the flesh to make himself the victim.
But, instead make the flesh submit to God and His word. This will cause us to develop a quiet spirit, meaning that you don’t live by feelings, emotions,
what you see or what you hear.
But it will train our soul and our flesh to only believe and submit to Gods word.
I believe that’s what God is saying is true fasting when we are able to master the flesh, thats when I believe we are spiritually mature And, God’s saying that we will get the reward of it by him in The Spirit.
You need to understand that fasting is about practicing spiritual discipline, if you don’t see it that way You can stop eating and not be truly fasting in the spirit. You will only be starving.
Something to think about, prayer and fasting is power.
