Beyond The Meal - Angelo Shamoon

Résumé :
Fasting as we know it can really intimidate any Christian. Did you know that fasting is not optional for the Christian? I mean, we all know that the entire Christian life is to become more like Jesus, isn't it? So, if we are called to be more like Jesus in our purity, patients, kindness, meekness, self-control, prayer, evangelism, etc. What exempts any of us from being like Jesus in our fasting too? What about us? What about you? Why haven't we made one of our spiritual goals to fast like Jesus did? Could it be that the enemy of revival wants to blind us from its crucial significance? We say we want revival in our churches, cities, and countries, but what are we willing to do to get it not in some distant future, but NOW? Most of today's church is hungry for more of God but fails to see that what is hindering them from personal and mass revival is their own personal appetites for the things of this world! Over the last 18 years of my Christian walk, I have always incorporated fasting with my prayer life, and I want to teach you, perhaps for the first time, the What, When, Why, and How of fasting. I will theologically and systematically reveal the different types of fasts that were carried out throughout scripture and their purposes so that you can begin to incorporate them into your personal walk with God successfully. I will even share my own experiences from my personal 40 days fast, where I had learned about four different dimensions and other wonderful mysteries that everyone can experience themselves and be transformed by. My hope and prayer are that this book will convince you that supernatural acts of God and the revival that we so long to see in our generation could be literally a fast away. Do not miss this opportunity! WARNING: Applying the principles in this book will dramatically transform and deepen your walk with God. Use immediately! Recent reviews from other readers: Bernadette says: Well Written and very inspirational. Kara says: Recently I've been looking to grow in my relationship with God and also develop my walk with Christ. I began attending a church that sometimes suggests a fast as a way to gain clarity and have a breakthrough with Jesus. This book is exactly what I needed. It was exactly what I was looking for. I really enjoyed that it talked about the humility factor and that you're not just fasting to get something. This perspective was good to read because I tend to fall into that mindset when approaching fasting. Lots of scripture references were helpful. highly recommend! C. J. Robinson says: This book was very well-constructed and detailed. Acorn says: The link between fasting and religious belief is not something I had come across before. Very interesting! The author makes at very good case for the practice of fasting in Christianity and then goes through the benefits of fasting. I consider myself a Christian but am ashamed to admit that I hadn't known of this. Abby says: The principles the author talked about in this book will drastically transform and strengthen anyone's relationship with Almighty God if they put them into practice. I have been fasting for a long time, and I have experienced most of the things that are pointed out in this book. The author did well by bringing this out to all that want to try fasting for their spiritual wellbeing.
