Introduction

Fasting is an important Christian discipline. As with many things, it is essential to strike a Biblical balance. On the one hand there is the danger to neglect it. On the other hand the danger  is to overdo it it. Those who do fast may be tempted to feel proud about it. Others may approach it legalistically which brings bondage instead of freedom. This is a topic that requires balanced and careful teaching and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Practised correctly it has the potential to bring great blessing.

To get the full benefit from this guided teaching it is important to look up the verses in the Bible and read them in their context. Best tackled a section at a time, prayerfully, and not to be rushed!
