Fasting

by

Ron Lagerquist

Throughout the ages hungry hearts have been drawn to the ancient door of fasting.  Although differing in language, beliefs and culture they all have one thing in common, a desire to change something deep within themselves.   

Today, we now have available an abundance of information confirming fasting’s genius to cleanse and detoxify the body from years of unhealthy eating, boosting both the immune system and the body’s natural defenses from disease.  Detoxification of the body is a tangible parallel of what is occurring spiritually during a fast.  What is transpiring deep in the spirit is clearly depicted by what is occurring in the body.  The body is cleansed from the by-products of a destructive diet while the spirit is cleansed from useless fleshy habits and addictions. 

The beauty of fasting is its ability to exact powerful metamorphosis in a short period of time.  Imagine if you were forced to remove all life’s little props.  The coffees, pizzas, ball games, movies, Danishes.  Forced to quiet your life down to the few things that really matter.  Within days, years of fat melt away, mind calms, allowing deeper meditation and prayer.  At first the pain of broken addictions is acute but short lived, usually ending in three days.  As a weakened body releases its control over to the Spirit, peace and contentment replace a normally stressed and anxious state of mind.  The rapidness of change on both body and spirit during fasting is a great encouragement to a soul weary of stagnation serving as an excellent launching pad to total transformation lasting a lifetime. Just when you thought there was no hope, self-confidence is rebuilt.  Fasting exercises a weary will, developing new independence to a world clamoring to control you’re every thought and action.  

For thousands of years people have walked the path of fasting.  Jesus Himself fasted before striking out into His three-year ministry.  God uses fasting as an open door into human hearts.  He enters and brings about a great release. 

If you have decided to fast, get ready.  This will be the journey of a lifetime.  The deepest part of you, tired and neglected, rising to meet God.  And in Him there is healing and freedom. 

I love windy days.  Trees are given a voice; their great limbs swinging to-and-fro while I run below connected to a living dance.  I have done this many times in my youth, and find myself doing so again.  Freedom is a glorious feeling; we are created to be free.  Those who are born of the Spirit are like the wind, compelled forward by an invisible force, not weighed down by flesh and bone or restricted by fear and doubt.  Free to fulfill impossible dreams.  This is God’s will for you and if you are reading this, you are counted among the seekers.  And no matter how far down the hill of compromise you have slid, there is hope.  

In this Fasting Center I present a balanced, safe approach, examining both the spiritual and physical impact of fasting.  First-time fasters need not fear.  Even if you have lived years on the standard toxic diet, done right, fasting is safe.
