During His time on earth Jesus taught His disciples the principles of the Kingdom of God. In the sermon on the mount a triplet of principles is presented; “when ye pray…”, “when ye give…” and “when ye fast…”Jesus did not say if you fast, but when. He placed fasting alongside prayer and giving as a normal and expected part of Christian lifestyle.Concerning Prayer with fasting Jesus “...whenever you are fasting, do not look gloomy and sour and dreary like the hypocrites, for they put on a dismal countenance, that their fasting may be apparent to and seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full already. But when you fast, perfume your head and wash your face, So that your fasting may not be noticed by men but by your Father, Who sees in secret; and your Father, Who sees in secret, will reward you in the open.”(Matthew 6:6–18 AMP)Please do note that, if we fast rightly, there is a promised reward from heaven.
