 Fasting is the means by which we disconnect from the earthly realm and ascend to higher places in the heavenly realm. When you fast, you're becoming less aware, less connected, less committed to the things of this world, and you're becoming more aware of the things of God. You're setting your mind, you're setting your time, you're setting your emotions, you're setting yourself on the things above. So fasting really is a deeply spiritual practice that helps to tear the tethers that keep us bound to the concerns of this world. As you begin to practice prayer and fasting, there is a greater power that comes upon your prayers. There is a greater strength that comes upon you spiritually. As you fast and pray, you begin to transform into who God called you to be.
