When Jesus gave advice about what to do when you’re fasting (Matthew 6:16), He said not to . . .
- Go without water
- Fast on the Sabbath
- Make it obvious
- Do it without eating a big meal first
In this lesson, which of the following is not a blessing resulting from fasting?
- God uses it to help us think more clearly and discern His wisdom.
- God gives us increased strength for fighting temptation.
- God blesses us with greater power in prayer.
- God uses it to reassure us of our holiness
In this lesson, fasting is defined as going without food or something else we enjoy in order to . . .
- Undergo a rigorous and holy discipline.
- Focus our hearts and minds on God and His purposes.
- Mortify our flesh.
- Let God see how holy we are.
If you can’t go without food for health reasons, you can . . .
- Also fast by abstaining from particular foods or something else you enjoy
- Give up on the idea of fasting altogether
- Take it as a sign from God that fasting just isn’t for you
- Disregard your doctor’s advice and do it anyhow
Fasting, as it is practiced in the Bible, is a way of humbling ourselves before God and of telling Him which of the following?
- I am more spiritual and disciplined than other people.
- I really want You to do what I’m asking.
- You have to answer my prayer because I’m doing this.
- You matter more than anything else.
If you’re not used to fasting, and you’d like to try it, what should you do?
- Start small by skipping only a meal at first.
- Purge your body by going without food for three days.
- Fast only when you are sleeping.
- Don’t begin until you’ve prayed for several days.
When Jesus taught about fasting in Matthew 6:16, He began with these words:
- If you fast . . .
- When you fast . . .
- To begin your fast . . .
- God wants you to fast . . .
When we fast, our emphasis shouldn’t be on what we’re giving up, but on what?
- How we are becoming more holy
- How important we are to God
- What we are reaching for: more of God’s wisdom, love, and strength
- How we are God’s instruments for change in the world
When you break a fast from food, how should you do it?
- By eating a big meal
- By engaging in physical exercise
- By drinking hot coffee
- Slowly, giving your body time to adjust
How are we to view the examples in Scripture of going for a long period without water?
- As examples to be followed every time we fast
- As exceptional, supernatural instances, and usually not a recommended practice
- As an example of just one more option for us when we fast
- As something we can trust God to sustain us in whenever we fast
