Fasting is a spiritual discipline that draws us closer to Jesus. It is not easy, but it is worth it. In Fasting Forward, Dr. Billy Wilson shares the importance of fasting and how Christ-followers can advance their spiritual lives through practicing this ancient discipline. New generations are hungry for God and desire to connect with Him in profound ways. Revised and updated, Fasting Forward shares relevant stories and practical insight into one of the most powerful, life-changing endeavors we may attempt in our walk with God. Fasting is a discipline that must be reclaimed by today’s church, perhaps more than ever before. What would happen if we decided to stop simply marching on and waited on the Lord? Fasting positions our hearts to receive God’s directives and revelations. It produces in us a longing for Jesus, a readiness for His return, and a sensitivity to His presence among us now. The Holy Spirit is ready to work through today’s church in fresh, dramatic ways, bringing world harvest and advancing God’s kingdom. By slowing down and seeking God through prayer and fasting, we can accelerate forward into His calling for our lives and increase our impact on the world. Quantum leaps forward in the Spirit are born in quiet moments, but we must slow down usually to go forward. Fasting Forward will help position you to hear God’s voice and experience fresh insight into His word
