RESET… YOUR FASTING Series: Reset… Realigning Your Spiritual Life – Week #1 Pastor Nestor Flores Sunday January 7, 2023 RESET: To make a fresh, new start; to begin again “But seek FIRST his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” Matthew 6:33 (NIV) “Fasting Is An Exercise Of Consecration” “And when you fast, don’t make it obvious, as the hypocrites do, for they try to look miserable and disheveled so people will admire them for their fasting. I tell you the truth, that is the only reward they will ever get. 17 But when you fast, comb your hair and wash your face. 18 Then no one will notice that you are fasting, except your Father, who knows what you do in private. And your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.” Matthew 6:16-18 (NLT) THREE LESSONS ON FASTING... 1. Fast Strategically “And when you fast… ” Matthew 6:16a 2. Fast With The Right Motivation “…don’t make it obvious, as the hypocrites do, for they try to look miserable and disheveled so people will admire them for their fasting. I tell you the truth, that is the only reward they will ever get. 17 But when you fast, comb your hair and wash your face. 18 Then no one will notice that you are fasting, except your Father, who knows what you do in private…” Matthew 6: 16b-18a (NLT) What Fasting Is NOT • It Is Not A Diet • It Is Not A Hunger Strike • It Is Not A Punishment • It Is Not A Religious Legalism What Fasting IS • An Invitation To Receive More Of God • To Disconnecting From The World To Focus On My Relationship With God. • An Instrument To Awaken Our Spiritual Sensibility • A Sacrifice That Produces Powerful Results 3. Fast With Expectation “…And your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.” Matthew 6: 18b (NIV) ............................
