Practical application of Pentecostal theology in politics, economy and social issues
fasting doesn’t change God
fasting changes us…
In grade school, I remember daily reciting the pledge of allegiance to the American flag. During my time at John Brown University in the early 1970s, patriotism was a quality that the leaders of the college promoted. There was a sense of pride in being an American. We live in a much different world today. […]

It makes us very hungry

Nothing we do changes God…all we do changes us. Closer to or farther away.
Guest;
What?! God changes all the time in response to our prayers. It is completely reasonable that prayer with fasting impacts God more than player alone.
Guest;
Why did Esther fast?
Guest;
Agreed! And fasting doesn’t grow our faith. It destroys our unbelief.
Guest;
I agree that fasting doesn’t change God…..but it certainly moves Him.

“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.”
– Habakkuk 2:4

Fasting is a mine game. Changes nothing. God changes. Things. That’s trying to prove something. God knows.
Guest;
The fact that God changes His treatment of us in response to our choices has nothing to do with His character. In fact, because God does not change, He must treat the righteous differently from the unrighteous. If someone repents, God consistently forgives; if someone refuses to repent, God consistently judges. He is unchanging in His nature, His plan, and His being. He cannot one day be pleased with the contrite and the next day be angry with the contrite. That would show Him to be mutable and untrustworthy.

Funny how some people actually think that God is impressed by our hunger when we fast…

Fasting-what did it do for Jesus? What were the effects spiritually, physically, and emotionally? Do young pastors fast?

Mat 6:17 — Mat 6:18
But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that your fasting may be seen not by others but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

Matthew 6:17-18. Jesus told his listeners they were to fast privately so that their “Father who sees in secret will reward [them] openly.” After giving, praying, and fasting are done in secret, God rewards openly (vv 4,6,18). To lose sight of the meaning of any one of these disciplines by playing to the crowd was regarded by Jesus as hypocrisy (6:2,5,16). Those who work for the praise of the crowd may receive it, but that is all the reward they will have. Divine recompense is guaranteed by the close of the age, if not before (cf. Matt 24:45-46; 25:14-23; 2 Cor 5:10).

Ricky Grimsley would say it does but it aint true Fasting changes US NOT GOD …
Ricky Grimsley
Troy Day don’t speak for me. Fasting only changes us. It weakens the flesh so we can hear god. IMO
Varnel Watson
Ricky Grimsley The voice in the wilderness speaks for all of us GOD does NOT change… period
Ricky Grimsley
Troy Day his character doesn’t change. His essence doesn’t change but he didn’t always have a human body but now he does. Sounds like a change to me.
