The Importance of Fasting in the First Century

Jonathan says fasting is not the norm for most in the Western church today. Most people in his tradition participate in at least a twice yearly breakthrough fast and have several things they are believing for many call this an Esther fast referencing obviously the fast estacles for in Esther. Jonathan: It's always possible for people to imagine that they are manipulating God I'm doing all this for you and now I'm going to twist your arm God to do this now no serious Christian actually prays like that so I but agree with my good friends Tim Mackey and Scott McKnight there is no one thing called a breakthrough fast which guarantees whatever you're wanting.
