Approaching God Through Fasting

 Fasting is a spiritual discipline designed by God for our benefit. However, it’s one of the most under-utilized spiritual tools that has been made available to us. Why is fasting is important for us today & How does this spiritual discipline actually Works. When used along with Prayer and Meditation, fasting provides a special personal connection with our God, giving us the opportunity to stop, to cover our mouths Physically in order that we can be filled with the true bread we need to be sustained in this life and for all eternity.
