Summary
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.

The sermon emphasizes that fasting should be done for the heart's desire to see God's glory, not for public display. Drawing from Matthew 6, the speaker stresses that God sees the inner disposition, not just outward acts. Furthermore, fasting is presented as a discipline that helps overcome the enslavement to physical desires, both regarding food and sexual intimacy, leading to a life focused on Christ.
