We’ve forgotten how to fast, and it has not only cost us the potency of our prayers and profound benefits to our bodies but has ultimately disconnected us from a practice essential to the faith of the early saints and to our Lord Jesus Himself. Pastor Reward Sibanda shares from his book, "How to Fast: Rediscover the Ancient Practice for Unlocking Physical, Emotional, and Spiritual Renewal."
