How does starving yourself make God want to help you??? I’ve never understood the logic here.

Beck must be doing this for the CA draught, because Cruz already lost.

Jews established multiple fast days, and Christians adopted their own. But Beck thinks he speaks for God. He is a truly sick man.

The theory is you’re showing God you’re willing to die for what you want. I don’t see how that works. If it’s not what God wants then I guess you’re supposed to die. But I’ve never known anyone who actually starved themselves to death. I guess their commitment only goes so far.

Fasting is a legitimate Biblical practice.

It focuses the mind on the spiritual by avoiding the physical.

So, it just isn't the fasting that is effective, it must be combined with a strong spiritual concentration and humility.
