Ep856 - Biblical Heroes Who Fasted and Saw Mighty Miracles Happen as a Result - Isabell Bowling
The Bible has many examples of strong men and women of God who fasted for different reasons. Isabell Bowling - the associate director of Marilyn & Sarah Ministries - talks about Biblical moments of fasting: when Moses received the Ten Commandments, or when Elijah went to Mount Horeb. Fasting teaches us not to live on bread alone, but to rely on the spiritual strength and goodness of God. In addition, Isabell discusses the three fleshly appetites that Christians can surrender to the Lord while they are in a fast, explaining that a fast is for both long-suffering and longevity. This is especially important in a culture that prioritizes indulgent feasting over fasting. Fast so that you can appreciate those feasting moments even more!
