Summary
Matthew 6:16-18 teaches that fasting is a spiritual discipline of abstaining from food with a spiritual goal, practiced privately before God rather than for public notice. Jesus invites believers to fast as a gateway to supernatural power, deeper intimacy with God, and transformed perspective, requiring humility and secret devotion rather than religious performance.
Highlights
Fasting is abstinence from food with a spiritual goal in mind. It is when you abstain from the most natural thing you do.
Prayer and fasting is God's gateway to supernatural power. It's God's gateway to walk humbly before God and to change your perspective in your life.
If you will take care of the depth of your walk, God takes care of the breadth of your influence. You go deep with him and there is no telling what God will do with you.
