Fasting is all about making room for growth. When we have been feasting on God’s goodness, and grow deeper and wider in our identity, security, and significance in the Son, we can be assured that there will be push back to our growth. Spiritual warfare is fought on two fronts. On the one hand, God allows challenges in our walk to test our faith and refine our character in hope. On the other hand, Satan uses the same challenges to tempt us to sin and disqualify us from God’s best. In this second part of our series, we will see Jesus in his fast in the wilderness as the One who overcomes Satan’s worldly temptations through the desires of the flesh, the eyes, and the pride of life.
Fasting: Test or Temptation?
