New-Covenant Fasting - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 15, 2025 · 20m
Jesus taught that when fasting, the focus should be on the inner attitude and motive, not the external action, unlike the old covenant. Fasting is presented as a response to a deep burden for God's name to be glorified, but it is also a valuable discipline that helps free us from the slavery of food and builds self-control. Ultimately, the ability to fast and pray effectively is linked to having sufficient faith, as demonstrated by Jesus's power over the demons in Matthew 17.
