. . . . just aren’t willing to pay the price in prayer, fasting and obedience.

Matthew 9:15 (New International Version, ©2011) 15 Jesus answered, “How can the guests of the bridegroom mourn while he is with them? The time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.

Now, If we abide in our Lord Jesus Christ are we not always with him? If we need to fast, who moved, us or him?

Matthew 9:15 (New International Version, ©2011) 15 Jesus answered, “How can the guests of the bridegroom mourn while he is with them? The time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.

Also, is this another You They passage? We are not the guest but the Bride.

Is it really your conviction

that fasting is not a spiritual discipline of merit and usefulness in this era?

I have found, that it is helpful . . . even if the primary help is tuning-up one’s ears and helping clean out one’s spiritual cobwebs.
