<div class="SSN_rnum">III. WRONG WAYS OF FASTING.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. Fasting in a mechanical manner just for the sake of doing so.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. If fasting becomes an end in itself.</div>

|

|
|

|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">d. "I want a blessing so I will fast."</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. The minute we say if you will do this you will get that we are putting the blessings of God into a sovereignty of God.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">3. Value of fasting is indirect not direct.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">D. Calling attention to our fast.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Any drawing of attention to our piety.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">IV. RIGHT WAY TO FAST.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. As a means to an end, not an end in itself.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. I must discipline myself at all times. I should fast only as led by the Spirit.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. Be natural.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. People afraid of being regarded as miserable, because a Christian go to other extreme.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">2. In order not to look sad you need not put a grin on your face.</div>
|
