Good Morning, my "walking with Jesus" friend. We know that, as a spiritual discipline, sometimes people go on a fast, a period of time when they purposely eat nothing. Oh listen, now some people are asking Jesus: "Why do the disciples of John, who baptized, go on a fast often, and make special prayers, and so do the Pharisees; but YOUR disciples do not fast, they eat and drink all the time? Why is that? And Jesus answered, ' Can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast while they are with the bridegroom? But, the day will come when the bridegroom shall be taken away, and THEN, they shall fast in those days.' " What's the message here? While I am with my disciples, we are rejoicing and enjoying fellowship. When the time comes that I am no longer physically with My disciples, and they desire to stir up spiritual nearness, THEN they may go on a fast, as a spiritual discipline. The time
for that is coming, Jesus explains. Special strength comes to the Spirit when there IS closeness with Christ, especially through prayer and fasting. Let us seek the Lord.
