Last night, you asked me how this post was relevant to Q. I was at the time too distracted to give a good answer, but I can now.
We already know that our battle is not against flesh and blood, correct?
Ephesians 6:12 For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.
When Jesus disciples didn’t understand why they were unable to cast out a certain demon, He told them.
Matthew 17:21 However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”
Prayers are a must for battling against evil, of which we have much to fight against, but sometimes we need more than just prayer alone. Fasting is to demy ourselves if something in order that we may draw closer to God.
Jesus said,
Matthew 16:24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.
What is a corporate fast?
As a group or church
