Yes! and I’ll give you two good reasons. The G3 Ministries Blog posted an article Biblical Fasting: Is it a Practice for the Church Today? Part 2 I didn’t read part 1 but if it is anything like part 2..talk about complicating something simple and making it hard. The article attempts to make the case that fasting is unnecessary and unprofitable. The author’s bias or bent towards his position seems to make him ignore what the Bible is actually saying. I like common sense and simplicity. So here are two reasons that fasting is relevant, applicable, and profitable today. In Matthew 6:16-18 Jesus tells us to fast in secret so only the Father can tell we are fasting. Then He says “…and thy Father, which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.” If Jesus says that the Father will reward thee openly then I believe the Father will reward thee openly. That is in itself a great reason for fasting. Another reason for fasting is Matthew 17:14-21. The disciples could not cure a man who was possessed but Jesus was able to. When they asked why they could not, Jesus said it was because of their unbelief and then said “Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting. (Matt. 7:21)”. Just to note, some question the validity of this verse because it is not included in some English translations even though it is included in the King James. My only question would be, if it does not belong in the Bible, why does Mark 9:29 say the same thing? “And He said unto them: This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.” Just something to think about.
