ASTING IS AN ancient biblical and spiritual tool for cleansing the soul and spirit.
Fasting is a key to genuine and deep spirituality. Throughout the ages people
have used fasting as a tool for entering into deeper spiritual realms and getting to

cookies, cakes, ice cream, hamburgers, and pizza it so much enjoys? The reason
is that fasting, when accomplished through the direction and enabling of the
Holy Spirit, has the power to break the gripping control of our lower nature.
