Why are we instructed to praise, tithe, and fast?
God’s original design was for us to live in abundance in our health, wealth, relationships and intellect. To experience all of this, we have to be connected to Him. Adam severed that connection and Jesus restored it in full. But, our free will can be distracted and moved by what we see and feel.
The mandate to praise God, tithe with our finances, and fast no matter how we feel or what we can see connects us back to God. We hear Him, remind ourselves to trust Him, and walk on the path He orchestrated for our best benefit.
Ephesians 3: 17Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. 18And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. 19May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.
