Does fasting make your prayers more powerful? Will God answer if you fast longer? What if you can’t fast from food?

In Part 1 of this conversation on Prayer Unfiltered, Elizabeth and Kimberly explore what the Bible actually teaches about Christian fasting.

Rather than presenting another religious formula, they discuss how fasting is designed to create space for a deeper relationship with God—not manipulate Him into answering our prayers.

In this episode you’ll discover:

• What biblical fasting really is
 • Does fasting make God answer prayer?
 • Can you fast from something besides food?
 • What Isaiah 58 teaches about the heart behind fasting
 • Why fasting isn’t a spiritual performance
 • How fasting reveals what has our attention

Whether you’ve fasted for years or have never considered it before, this conversation will help you approach fasting as an invitation into intimacy with God instead of another spiritual obligation.

Scriptures Discussed:

  •  Joel 2:12-13 
  •  Matthew 6:16-18 
  •  Isaiah 58:6-12 
  •  John 3:30
