Mark 9:14-29 REMEDIAL FASTING 101: 1) WHAT is it? 2) WHY do it? 3) HOW to start? 1) What is it? Simple definition: Going without food for a specified amount of time 2) Why do it? Jesus modeled it and expects it. Matt. 4:1-2 Matt. 9:15 Matt. 6:16-18 RELEASES POWER of God in you and through you. Galatians 5:16-17 2 Cor. 12:9-10 Fasting makes room for God’s power to work through our weakness! Mark 9:29 Daniel 10:2-3, 12-13 3) How to start? Go for ONE MEAL. Go for a DAY. (sundown to sundown) START SLOW, work up to more as the Spirit leads you. UNDERSTAND – this is a spiritual battle! Fast WITH SOMEONE, if possible
