The Son of God fasted because He knew there were supernatural things that could only be released that way.
Every deed has a seed. In other words, the deeds you choose to do in this lifetime create a seed for future generations.
We walk by faith. We don't stay still, drowning in our misery.
Fasting will break poverty from your life.
Fasting will also overcome sexual additions and demonic powers.
For me, fasting has just been a huge part of everything God has done in my life, Fasting means I am putting everything on hold, and I am spending the time with God. It brings everything in focus, and I become eternity-minded.
