FASTING

Fasting is a willing abstinence from food for a period of time. For so many of us, the desires of our body have come to hold power over us. In the battle with our “flesh,” we have become its slave, not its master. Fasting is a practice that reintegrates our mind to our body. As we yield our bodies to God, we break the power of the flesh to control us and open up ourselves to the power of the Spirit.
