The 5 virtues of fasting

Fasting is not an advice neither an admonition.

Fasting is a commandment.

“But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head; and wash thy face.” Mat.6:17

In the light of the above scripture, it is ‘When’ not ‘if’ you fast which means there is a particular time you must fast.

And, obedience is the master key to all opened doors of blessings (Deu.28:1-3).

“And it come to pass, if thou shall hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do his commandments which I command thee this day, that the lord thy God will set thee on high above all the nations of the earth. ” Deu.28:1

Fasting means fastening your body in order to edify your spirit. It is giving strength to your inner man.

“Then shalt thou delight thyself in the lord; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the lord hath spoken it.” Is.58:14

His authority and power switched level. People began to exclaim  What manner of man is this, that even the wind and sea obey him!  We have seen strange things today!

“But the man marvelled, saying, what manner of man is this, that even the sea and wind obey him! ” Mat.8:27
