Benefits of fasting:
Fasting is a great way for us to reveal the things in our life that controls us. This spiritual discipline has a wonderful benefit to the true disciples.
Anger, bitterness, jealousy, strife, and fear-if they are within us, chances are that they surface during fasting. 10-15 hours into our fast, and we start biting people’s head off. It’s easy to rationalize.
Feel that we are getting angry because we are hungry. But then we realize that we are angry simply because the spirit of anger is within us!
Through fasting, we become more aware of the areas that God’s Spirit is interested in helping us grow. Fasting also helps us to keep our balance in life. Fasting helps us realize what things truly matter in life and how quickly we allow nonessential things to take precedence in our lives.
Most of the things we crave in our lives just are not essential, and yet to tend to take over our lives and enslave us. Fasting doesn’t only have to be abstaining from food, but things like social media, television, music, secular books, selfishness, and spending money, and a whole host of things. The important thing is to find some area in our life that we generally use as a distraction from life and choose to cut it out for a day or two.
Fasting reminds us that we are sustained by every word that proceeds from the God. Food is not the thing that sustains us, but God is.
A special type of fasting can actually help reduce oxidative stress, reduce blood pressure, improve insulin sensitivity and reduce the occurrence of cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.
