HOW TO FAST BEYOND HUMAN LIMITATIONS (1)
HOW TO FAST BEYOND HUMAN LIMITATIONS (1)
1 John 5:3 states that, "For the [true] love of God is this: that we do His commands [keep His ordinances and are mindful of His precepts and teaching]. And these orders of His are not irksome (burdensome, oppressive, or grievous)."
One of the most important commandments is fasting. Remember Matthew 6:16-17
states that, " '16' And WHEN you are fasting, do not look gloomy and sour and dreary like the hypocrites, for they put on a dismal countenance, that their fasting may be apparent to and seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full already. [Isa. 58:5.]
'17' But WHEN you fast, perfume your head and wash your face......".
Notice something from the scripture! It doesn't say 'if you fast', but, 'when you fast'. Which means fasting is compulsory, and there're instructions Jesus gave to us about our fasted life.
The strongest ability to your fasted life should be the expression of God's love through your fasting. And when you fast, the love of the Father is more revealed in your spirit.
There're people who find it burdensome to fast, not because there's anything really wrong with their physical bodies, but because of their spiritual ignorance about the amazing love of God. Such people find fasting burdensome because the love of God is not in enough control to enable them fast beyond human limitations.
Love should be the fruit from your fasting. We know our fasting is rooted and grounded in love, not only because we can use it to fast more, perform miracles and receive deeper revelations, but also because we can use it to enable others to fast beyond their natural limitations, unlimit all their spiritual senses and spiritual sensations, and do many more things for them as directed by God's Spirit.
As a christian, you must make the uncompromising choice of fasting in the love of God always.
Decide that you're going to fast to receive deeper revelations on how to enable others fast beyond their natural limitations to the point of unlimitting their spiritual senses and spiritual sensations, and also use our fasting to help them in many more things.
It doesn't matter the extent of their natural limitations, challenges, hatred and animosity you experience from those around you, you have the obligation as a christian to fast for them so that they can experience love as a solution to their lives.
Let your fasting overlook the limited function of people's fasting and people's spiritual senses and spiritual sensations, and see a love solution out of it.
Let your fasting be full of love. The revelations of God's love that you get when you fast will cause your fasting to radiate love to everyone you fast for. Use your fasting to speak and believe the best of other people's fasted life always in the name of Jesus!
