Fasting (Part III)
God desires a fast that breaks the chains of wickedness and oppression, not one that is merely a ritualistic display of piety.

Hi, this is Dave Scherrerrer, and we're in a set of conversations here at 100 Fold Ministries kingdom offerings regarding the disciplines of the kingdom. And by that, we mean that there are habits or practices that by engaging them in a disciplined manner, help us to live a more abundant kingdom life as kingdom citizens. We've looked at a number of these disciplines so far in this series, generosity, prayer. The last two times we've been together have been discussing the discipline of fasting.
And of course, on all these disciplines, you can do an internet search and find hundreds of sites that will inform you and encourage you. And you'll find a few other hundred sites that will deceive you and distract you. So all that to say, be careful about who is telling you the truth these days. So to be safe, let's pull our content on fasting directly from scripture.
More Kingdom Offerings
Our acts of kindness, done in the name of Jesus, with the purpose of serving and blessing others also serve to lay aside treasures in heaven that glorify and exalt our King. This constitutes the kingdom coming on earth as it is in heaven - we become the answer to the Lord’s prayer.
God's economy of spiritual profit, which He's interested in, is not based on anything that has a worldly value associated with it.
