Today was a rest day and a day of pray and fasting.
Here are the benefits of a fast:
1. Builds energy
2. Restores vigor and vitality
3. Helps regulate the metabolism
4. Helps slow down aging
5. Removes accumulated wastes and toxins
6. Helps improve skin
7. Helps build discipline
On the spiritual side, it is important to remember that fasting is not a method of punishing our bodies and it is not be used as a dieting method. You should not spend time in prayer and fasting in order to lose weight, but rather to gain a deeper relationship with God. Tom Ciola, author of Moses Wasn't Fat says “fasting is a deliberate physical self-denial for spiritual growth. It enables us to have a more focused prayer life while at the same time develop a greater intimacy with God. Fasting also helps deliver us from the bondage of sin and addictions since fasting helps give us power over the flesh.”
Fasting is good medicine for your mind, body and soul. You will become a MVP as a result of fasting. Therefore, take fasting seriously because it is a very powerful weapon to Get Fit 4 Christ and in defeating your giants.
