The Beauty of Fasting
Written by Sarah Gooden - Podcast featuring Liz Wright/Jen Miskov | 31st May 2024
Do you ever feel weary or restless, yearning for a fresh encounter with Jesus?
Has your spiritual hunger waned, do you crave a closeness, new depths and long to hear His voice with greater clarity? Do you desire to be more attuned to Him, sensing His guidance and presence as you go through your days?
I’d like to share this inspiring podcast, which features a real and thought-provoking conversation about the power of fasting.
Over the years, I’ve fasted numerous times in pursuit of specific breakthroughs, and been amazed by what God has done.
However, in this conversation with Liz Wright, Jennifer Miskov shares how fasting is not a formula to persuade God. It’s a spiritual posture in which you align yourself with His heart, unlocking dimensions of His nature that remain unexplored in ordinary seasons.
Fasting not out of striving or legalism, but driven by a genuine longing to know God more, and to desire more of Him. Regular fasting is a beautiful practice that helps us reset, refocus, and bring our whole selves before Him—yielding everything in surrender and devotion.
Grab a cuppa, open your heart and be blessed as you watch this.
LET’S DO THIS
I want to invite you to join me on this journey, chat to God about possibly fasting regularly, or take a first step and maybe encourage another to do it with you, and spur one another on.
Imagine what He will do as we yield to his limitless power and presence!!
And for those that cannot skip food maybe ask God about something else he might want you to set aside, where you intentionally make space just to be with him.
I’ve been doing this now for a little while, and can honestly say that it has dialled up my hunger and passion for God, given me greater revelation and I am more aware of Holy Spirit in the details of every day.
God knows your situation and he is a God of grace, incredible kindness, and he continually pursues you with his love. He loves you because of who you are, not what you do. He loves to spend time with YOU!
Jennifer Miskov has written a 40 day devotional called ‘Feasting on God’s presence’ that you may also find helpful.
