Do I Really Need to Fast?
It's not just about denying food but setting aside time to seek God.
Fasting, a significant practice for Christians and kingdom entrepreneurs, is not just about denying food but setting aside time to seek God. It is a spiritual discipline that fosters growth and a closer relationship with God and is often associated with significant events and breakthroughs in the Bible. Rylee Meek, initially skeptical about the necessity of fasting in the modern day, has come to view it as an expectation for all believers. He believes that fasting is not just about physical health, but a spiritual practice that can lead to breakthroughs and prepare individuals for ministry. Similarly, Christian Edwards sees fasting as an expectation for Christians, a way to deny the desires of the flesh and to seek spiritual discernment and repentance. He emphasizes the need for a genuine motive behind fasting and shares a personal experience where fasting helped him overcome intense cravings and receive the peace of God. Both Meek and Edwards believe in the transformative power of fasting, seeing it as a means to achieve a greater spiritual goal.
By setting aside time to fast, we open ourselves up to hearing the voice of the Holy Spirit and experiencing a deeper relationship with Him.

Quotes
"And when they fasted, the Holy Spirit spoke." - Christian Edwards
"The whole point of fasting is not about denying food, right? It is about setting aside time to be with the Lord. That's truly what it is about." - Rylee Meek
"We may think mentally, emotionally, physically, we're ready for this, but spiritually, are we willing to seek him, spend that time with him so that we can really, truly go the distance here?" - Rylee Meek
"And to show grief is to show our heart, really wear our heart on our sleeve...if you haven't shed a tear for just a stranger, for people that you don't know, just because of sin and the effects of sin, it's like you got to check your heart as a Christian." - Christian Edwards
"But what God is saying here, you're saying you're fasting, but guess what? You have a lot of crap still in your heart. Again, what's your motive? What's really going on there? You didn't really cry your heart out to me, so you have unrepentant sin in your heart." - Christian Edwards
"But certainly, God has heard me. I love it, but certainly God has heard me. He has attended to the voice of my prayer. Bless be God who has not turned away my prayer nor his mercy from me." - Christian Edwards
"If you want to level up in any area of your life, you got to be willing to jump through some hoops, catch some planes, some trains, some automobiles. And if that's what you want, then join us." - Rylee Meek
