“Once when John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting, some people came to Jesus and asked, “Why don’t your disciples fast like John’s disciples and the Pharisees do?” Jesus replied, “Do wedding guests fast while celebrating with the groom? Of course not. They can’t fast while the groom is with them. But someday the groom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast. “Besides, who would patch old clothing with new cloth? For the new patch would shrink and rip away from the old cloth, leaving an even bigger tear than before. “And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. For the wine would burst the wineskins, and the wine and the skins would both be lost. New wine calls for new wineskins.””
‭‭Mark‬ ‭2‬:‭18‬-‭22‬ ‭NLT‬‬

We look forward to Christ’s future coming. Jesus suggests we should fast in this in-between time. We must avoid being totally caught up in the things of this world, and pay sufficient attention to the things of God. Fasting and prayer will refocus our focus. Fasting and prayer brings clarity to the Words of Jesus. Seek new wine. The message of Jesus is like new wine, exhilarating, radical, and fresh. Tap in! Get in the flow! Shed the old things and receive the new things. You can’t put new on old. Let the old thing go. Be All In!

Happy Fasting!!
