Fasting has become one of the top subjects for new years resolutions both for physical and spiritual reasons. If you are a fitness buff like me and also happen to be a Christ follower, you will notice how Jesus spoke of fasting in the Bible (Matthew 6 and also in the old testament ) . As there are more and more people becoming aware of God’s divine health plan for His people, science and the mainstream are just catching up to its benefits physically. Let’s not minimize the divine power spiritually it has on the believer in relation to the Father( God) but let’s go over some of the physical aspects so if you aren’t quite ready to deep dive into the divine, you can at least understand some of the reasons why Jesus said “when you fast” as in, it’s going to happen as a Holy Spirit filled believer, you will be lead to do so at some point. Real believers follow His leading in the scripture.
Here’s what you might look forward to physically from what you might consider a challenge when you first get started, and why I always recommend a new years fast starting after the holiday feasting for a reset in your body and mind. For best results in all things pray and ask for help to do it healthily and holy.
