When questioned why His disciples were not fasting, Jesus first spoke of the rejoicing that comes when the Bride Groom is present. After the Bridegroom departed, however, he asserted, “They WILL fast! If the latter assertion was true after His departure to heaven, it must be even more true in our day. Sadly little fasting is going on. Could this be a reason for the spiritual weakness that is often exhibited among God’s people? We are going to carefully examine the Bible’s mandate for fasting, particularly in times of crisis and make a case for far more God-sanctioned fasting in our day.
