Kingsway’s Annual Seven Day Fast

1. The purpose of fasting is to change our hearts!

Then I will give them a heart to know Me, that I am the Lord; and they
shall be My people, and I will be their God, for they shall return to Me
with their whole heart. (Jeremiah 24:7)

2. The right attitude during a fast is joyful sacrifice!

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, a broken and a contrite heart
- these, O God, You will not despise. (Psalm 51:17)

3. The reward of fasting is a deeper relationship with Christ!

But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to
God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who
diligently seek Him. (Hebrews 11:6)

4. The benefits of fasting are ...

• Greater self-control: the ability to deny self leads to an
outward focus.
• Greater brokenness: our hearts become humble before God.
• Greater receptivity: a climate is created for the Holy Spirit to
speak.
• Greater power: the power of God is released in greater
dimension.
• Greater ministry: we position ourselves for greater usefulness.
