Since many people make New Year's resolutions that involve weight loss or spiritual disciplines to fast more, we thought we'd tackle the subject of fasting. Join us this week as David Edwards and Steve Bremner continue their series on unpopular subjects in the body of Christ:
Is it really beneficial or even necessary for the believer in the New Covenant? What is true fasting? Do we have any commands in the New Testament that we're to fast, or was that part of Jewish culture? Is it about abstaining from only food, or other things? In what situation did Jesus say "this kind only goes out by prayer and fasting?" You may be surprised, so join us in what is going to be the first in at least two parts on the subject. This week's intro, "Fire To My Soul" by Demon Hunter.
Check out Steve's exposition of Matthew 17:14-21 here in an article called "Because of Whose "Little Faith?"And visit here for David's article on The Hidden Manna mentioned during the discussion.
Check out a great Bible teaching series by Dave Roberson, called The Basics of Fasting.

Listen to a message from the Fire For Life Summer School in 2006 in the Netherlands. It was preached by Dr. Michael L. Brown concerning the relationship between the body of Christ, and Israel, and why our prayers for what goes on in that land are of utmost importance. We must not neglect our roots!

Be sure to check out this intercession-related teaching by Tommi Femrite, recorded at the Fire For Life Summer School 2007, in the Netherlands. We hear repeatedly, that this generation is a "Joshua" generation or "Daniel" generation and so forth, but what does that mean and why are those names important? If you're sitting at a desk, be sure to grab your Bible and plow through this study, and find out also just what is a Caleb spirit/mentality.
