The purpose of fasting is to willingly snd humbly deny something of the flesh to glorify God, enhance our spirit, and go deeper in our prayer life. We fast gain deeper fellowship with God.

By definition, to fast is to abstain from all or some kinds of food or drink, especially as a religious observance.

Consecration is the action of making or declaring something, typically a church, sacred.

Growing up, the month of February was also know as “prayer and fasting” month. The church would focus corporately on seeking to draw closer to God. Each person would freely give up something they loved to do/eat and spend at least 1 full hour daily with God in prayer and reading the word of God. Turning our focus and attention to God.

This is a worthy tradition that has merit and great benefit to the body of Christ as a whole. Especially in the times we live in. It is necessary to do some self searching and do what we can to bring peace and love back to our lives. God has the answer that he will glad share with people who have a mind to hear and obey. We must get into the place where we can hear. That requires us to quiet every voice that is not God in our lives, so we can hear and receive from Him.

Take a moment to consider what sacrifice you are willing to make for God. What are you willing to give up for God for the month of February? Then consecrate time for the purpose of seeking God. The benefits you receive will greatly outweigh any sacrifice.
