Pastor Jon spoke about the discipline of fasting and outline the fact that fasting is an opportunity to encounter God. He mentioned that fasting allows us to dial in and receive the goodness that God is pouring out on us. He concluded his message by mentioning various reasons for fasting; so our families can come into what God has for us, so we can become more sensitive to the Spirit, so we may break habits or bondage in our lives, and so we can build our lives around eternal priorities. Fasting develops self-control, which is a fruit of the Spirit.
