On different occasions, when people in the Bible received the leading or guidance of God, they received it while fasting and praying. For instance, our opening verse shows us that the apostles just wanted to spend time with God.
They added fasting to the exercise, and received a supernatural leading that changed their lives. Also we see in Acts 10:10-17, that Peter was hungry and went to pray! In the process, he received a vision from the Lord that opened the door of ministry to the gentiles. So, what is the relationship between fasting and receiving divine directions? Fasting helps us subdue the distractions of our flesh, so that our spirits can properly receive leadings that God has already given. Many times, God has given the direction, but you can be too distracted to get it. Say after me: As I fast and pray, I receive divine directions in Jesus’ name!
