Have you ever tried to serve God and failed? Have you
ever asked God to do something but he didn’t answer your prayers?
Now, that you’re getting ready to fast, these questions might
even be more real to you than before. Maybe you’re fasting
because you have been praying and haven’t got an answer. But
whatever your motive, fasting will take prayer, coupled with faith,
to a higher level. It will take you nearer to God.
Just because you fast, it doesn’t mean God will automatically
hear or answer your prayers. Also, refraining from food will not
make you more spiritual. Spirituality is a response of the heart
to God when you seek his presence and yield to him. The Holy Spirit
will make you more holy when you allow the Lord to flow through
your life. The Holy Spirit will make you more spiritual when you
are filled with his presence. Remember, as you fast, the most important
thing is that you seek and touch God, and let him touch you.
