How I Fast Under Grace
Fasting does not have to be difficult. I believe we must be wise in the way we go about it.
When I fast, I choose a day that I don’t have to go out. No physically strenuous activities that would require a lot of energy.
Nowadays, we think about food, food, food. After eating one meal, sometimes you are already planning what to eat for the next meal. However, when your body is full of food, you may feel lethargic and sleepy.
Your mind becomes dull because your body’s energy is being diverted to your digestive system. On the other hand, when you are fasting, you are able to dig in deep to listen to the Holy Spirit and what He is saying to you.
It is also an act of faith that cleanses your heart from unbelief, enabling you to receive the miraculous by faith.
On a day of fasting, I don’t eat physical food, but God’s word. It is a time to read the Bible and devour those precious words within. You will be surprised how you don’t feel physically hungry because God’s Grace is sustaining you for the day.
Revelations will jump out at you from His word and your mind becomes sharp and good at receiving what the Holy Spirit imparts to your spirit.
You must be clear on why you are fasting. It is not about atoning for your sins or trying to manipulate God into blessing you because He pities your suffering and sacrifice.
God has already blessed us with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places in Christ (Ephesians 1:3), so the ball is now in our court to receive those blessings.
Fasting does purify our faith, and make it easier to receive from God.
There is a lot more to learn about this beneficial spiritual activity of fasting—more than can be covered in just a post. Jesus said that when the bridegroom is taken away, then the friends of the bridegroom will fast (Luke 5:35). The early church as seen in the Book of Acts also fasted (Acts 13:2-3, 14:23). It continues even in the New Covenant.

Fasting under Grace is totally different from how fasting was done under the Law of Moses. It is new wine, and must be put into new wine skins: https://www.miltongoh.net/store/p20/how-to-fast-under-grace-milton-goh.html
