fasting

“Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.” MATTHEW 4:4

Immediately the Spirit impelled Jesus into the wilderness, and He was in the wilderness forty days. MARK 1:12-13

And when you fast, don’t make it obvious, as the hypocrites do, for they try to look miserable and disheveled so people will admire them for their fasting. I tell you the truth, that is the only reward they will ever get. But when you fast, comb your hair and wash your face. Then no one will notice that you are fasting, except your Father, who knows what you do in private. And your Father, who sees everything, will reward you. MATTHEW 6:16-18
