Lesson 4: Fasting 55
Encourage Application
- Say, We have learned today of the importance of fasting as a habit of
highly effective disciples. Fasting for a specific period of time for the
purpose of focusing on God can occur in the midst of a difficult situ-
ation (2 Chronicles 20), when we are seeking God’s direction about
a pending decision (Matthew 6), or any time we feel led by the Holy
Spirit to pursue God in a more intentional manner (Acts 13). - Wrap up the session with a challenge to class members to incor-
porate fasting as a spiritual discipline. Refer to the “Suggestions
for Fasting” from the sidebar in the Study Guide for practical help.
Close with prayer.
