The heart of fasting is not merely the act of abstention but the intention and attitude behind it. It is a means of humbling oneself before God, expressing dependence on Him, and aligning one's heart with His purposes.<br><br><b>Biblical Foundations</b><br><br>Fasting is rooted in the Old Testament, where it is often associated with mourning, repentance, and seeking divine intervention. In the book of Joel, the prophet calls for a sacred fast as a response to a national crisis: "Even now," declares the LORD, "return to Me with all your heart, with fasting, weeping, and mourning" (<a href="/joel/2-12.htm">Joel 2:12</a>). This passage highlights the call to return to God with sincerity and humility.<br><br>In the New Testament, Jesus provides guidance on fasting in the Sermon on the Mount. He emphasizes the importance of the heart's posture over outward appearances: "When you fast, do not be somber like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces to show men they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they already have their reward. But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so that your fasting will not be obvious to men, but only to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you" (<a href="/matthew/6-16.htm">Matthew 6:16-18</a>). Here, Jesus underscores the significance of fasting as a private act of devotion rather than a public display of piety.<br><br><b>Purpose and Practice</b><br><br>The heart of fasting is to draw nearer to God, seeking His guidance and strength. It is an expression of humility and dependence, acknowledging that spiritual nourishment is more vital than physical sustenance. In <a href="/bsb/isaiah/58.htm">Isaiah 58</a>, God challenges the Israelites' superficial fasting practices, calling them to a fast that reflects justice, mercy, and compassion: "Is not this the fast that I choose: to break the chains of wickedness, to untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free, and to break every yoke?" (<a href="/isaiah/58-6.htm">Isaiah 58:6</a>). This passage reveals that true fasting involves a transformation of the heart and actions that align with God's righteousness.<br><br>Fasting is also a means of intercession and seeking God's intervention. In the book of Esther, Queen Esther calls for a fast among the Jews as they face impending danger: "Go, gather together all the Jews who are in Susa, and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my attendants will fast as you do" (<a href="/esther/4-16.htm">Esther 4:16</a>). This collective fast demonstrates reliance on God's deliverance and guidance in times of crisis.<br><br><b>Fasting in the Early Church</b><br><br>The early church continued the practice of fasting as a way to seek God's direction and empowerment. In <a href="/acts/13-2.htm">Acts 13:2-3</a>, the church in Antioch fasts and prays before commissioning Barnabas and Saul for missionary work: "While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, 'Set apart for Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.' So after they had fasted and prayed, they laid their hands on them and sent them off" . This example illustrates fasting as a means of discerning God's will and receiving His blessing for ministry.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>The heart of fasting is a sincere pursuit of God, characterized by humility, repentance, and a desire for spiritual renewal. It is a discipline that transcends mere ritual, inviting believers to experience a deeper relationship with God and to align their lives with His purposes. Through fasting, Christians are reminded of their dependence on God and the transformative power of His presence in their lives.</div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><a name="sub"
