TRUTH 7: FASTING EXPOSES UNHEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS WITH FOOD
So many people have very unhealthy relationships with food, where food becomes a medication, an addiction, and an idol. Christians are more likely to sustain from drugs, alcohol, and immorality but take our negative emotions into overeating. This results in being overweight or underweight, sicknesses, and diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure, anorexia, etc. When you are fasting, it exposes these habits because your emotions will have to find a new place for comfort and that place is the Father, not the fridge. Gluttony is still a sin. The Holy Spirit is our comforter not food!
Philippians 3:18-20 (New Living Translation)
18 For I have told you often before, and I say it again with tears in my eyes, that there are many whose conduct shows they are really enemies of the cross of Christ. 19 They are headed for destruction. Their god is their appetite, they brag about shameful things, and they think only about this life here on earth. 20 But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for him to return as our Savior.
TRUTH 8: FASTING HAS PHYSICAL BENEFITS
Fasting is not for physical benefit, but a byproduct of fasting is physical benefits. Your body has a way of healing itself. Healing comes from 3 ways, God, prayer by faith, and the body was manufactured to heal itself. When your body is not focused on digesting food it can focus on other parts of your body.
(Isaiah 58.)
