Ref: Hebrews 13:15-16; Judges 20; Acts 10:1-48
Topic: Fasting
Notes:
- Men of tribe demanded Benjamin give up guests to them... Benjamin gave his concubine ... she was killed... he sent her over land of Israel
- Israel went after Benjamin on their own strength
- If your mind's made up, don't bother calling on God... expect defeat
- Two times Israel fought Benjamin and were defeated
- Third time Israel fasted and prayed... the Lord gave them victory
- Fasting is not legalism
- Cornelius: devout, feared God, gave, prayed but was not saved
- Cornelius fasted and God sent Peter who then preached the gospel to the Gentiles and the Spirit fell
- Tongues to magnify and praise God
- At some point while fasting you will feel useless; a fast gets you beyond the feeling
- Fasting is the front line of spiritual warfare
- Distracted by thoughts of food... the flesh is fighting for its life
- You begin seeing scripture like never before, develop clarity of mind, hunger in the spirit, time slows down
- Youâll never do anything more dangerous towards the enemy...
