"Fasting is the act of abstaining totally or partially from eating or drinking, 1 sometimes for a period of time."source
"Biblically, to fast is to abstain from food, drink, sleep, or sex, to focus on a period of spiritual growth, specifically, we humbly deny something to the flesh to glorify God, improve our spirit, and deepen our prayer life. "source
When we go to the scriptures, Acts chapter 10, we can observe how fasting brought to Cornelius vision, strategies and resources necessary to produce a great spiritual revival, in the city of Caesarea; It also produced breakage of boundaries and prepared spiritual environments.
Likewise, in the book of Acts chapter 13: 1 and Acts chapter 14:23, the fasting that the church of Antioquia carried out unleashed ministerial assignments as results.
We as children of God, can understand that fasting is a weapon of government in our hands, since through the realization of it, we can strengthen ourselves and lower the resources of heaven on our behalf.
We understand then, that just as Jesus fasted to strengthen himself when he was going to manifest his ministry, we can even at this time make this sacrifice of consecration for the Father.
