LESSON TEN: MEDITATION AND FASTING (Key)
Meditation is the missing link between Bible intake and prayer.
At least two Scriptures plainly teach this by example:
Psalm 5:1: "Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my sighing."
Psalm 19:14: "May the words of my mouth and the mediation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer."
So what happens when believers fast?:
First, it may be that true fasting is emotionally and spiritually a form of mourning.
Second, we fast to bring our physical bodies into submission.
Third, when we fast we ought to expect to be victorious overcomers.
Fourth, we fast so that we may be heard in heaven.
Fifth, we fast to seek revelation regarding the will of God.
Sixth: To bring liberation from the bonds of wickedness and to set the oppressed free.
Seventh: To relieve us of heavy burdens.
Eighth: To increase our sensitivity toward the needs of others so we can minister in a practical manner.
Ninth: To invest ourselves in our families.
