#0015 (Series: The Blessings and Benefits of Fasting pt.1 - Esther 4:14) – One of the best ways to grow spiritually is through prayer and fasting. Yet many Christians are hesitant to fast because they focus on the sacrifice rather than the blessing they will receive. As we embark on our 21 Day Challenge, we dive into this topic and how you can transform your life through prayer and fasting.

Scripture from this episode:
Esther 4:14-17 ESV – 14 For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” 15 Then Esther told them to reply to Mordecai, 16 “Go, gather all the Jews to be found in Susa, and hold a fast on my behalf, and do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my young women will also fast as you do. Then I will go to the king, though it is against the law, and if I perish, I perish.” 17 Mordecai then went away and did everything as Esther had ordered him.
Matthew 6:16-18 ESV – 16 “And when you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 17 But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, 18 that your fasting may not be seen by others but by your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.You can join the 21 Day Challenge at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/tekoaproject21daychallenge
