One of the greatest spiritual benefits of fasting is becoming more attentive to God. Becoming more aware of our own inadequacies and His adequacy, our own contingencies and His self-sufficiency... And listening to what He wants us to be and do. The results of fasting are spiritual results that glorify God... Both in the person who fasts and for whom we fast and pray.
In Isaiah 58, God says He has chosen fasts that 1) loosen the bonds of wickedness 2) undo heavy burdens 3) let the oppressed go free 4) break every yoke 5) give bread to the hungry and provide the poor with housing 6) allow the people's light to break forth like the morning 7) cause their health to spring forth speedily 8) cause their righteousness to go before them 9) cause the glory of the Lord to be their reward (or "rear guard").
I encourage you today to fast and pray and wait for your victory!! It's coming to you.
From My House to Yours,
