Spiritual fasting is a great way to open up your heart and soul to our wonderful God. Spiritual Fasting can be the key that unlocks a variety of doors and let God invite us into a world of many spiritual blessinngs. Many people associate fasting with abstaining from eating some or all food for a period of time. My pastor has told me that spiritual fasting is much more than just limiting food intake for a period of time.

Spiritual fasting involves not watching negative images or listening to negative material on the radio or in the media. Find a quiet place where there are no distractions and talk and pray to our awesome God. Read your Bible and worship him for how long you feel is appropriate for you to gain that secret source of power. A sharper mind, a humbler spirit, a renewed confidence, all of these things can be the secret powers of spiritual fasting.

Spiritual fasting helps you grow spiritually and gives you the extra strenght you need to fight through difficult times. I could easy quote a bunch of Bible scriptures about fasting, but i feel that has been done too often. All power lies within God and through his son Jesus Christ. We must have a devoted relationship with God to have the discipline to fast and to recieve our secret source of power.

The process of spiritual fasting will never have any benefit if your relationship with God is strained. Training and lifting weights unlocks the power in your muscles that you have had all along. Just like training, fasting requires discipline and dedication to discover those secret powers.

Most people want power in some form whether it is physical, mental, or spiritual. The power of God is overwhelming and he is anxious to release it to us through spiritual fasting. A person with an unstable mind is unstable in his ways. A clear conscience and a loving heart can be the result of spiritual fasting. Enjoy your life and let spiritual fasting be a major part of it. God is the one who will bless us tremendously throughout our lives, let's give him the glory and time that he deserves. Life is too short to be stressed out and bogged down with unecessary problems. Open up your mind to our Heavenly Father by practicing spiritual fasting, and i assure you that the secret powers of our God will be handed to you.
