Do you think its good for a christian to fast at least once a week like John Wesley did??

I believe that the Lord Jesus Christ expected that His people would be a fasting people (see Matt 6:16-18)

Weekly fasting, or any fasting, is a good thing when it is done for the glory of God and the good of others.

It is about one passion driving out another passion. The passion for our Savior, and His will to be done, should be the motive that drives the passion for earthly things into nothingness in comparison. In this way it does not turn into legalism.

The point of fasting is that we have a hunger for God and His will and that hunger drives out every other hunger. Also, there should be a sense of joy in fasting because it brings me closer to Christ.

In Christ,

Ron

Physically fasting I hear cleans out your intestines the first three days and after a week it cleans the toxins from your body. Drink lots of water! Atleast 8 glasses a day.
