Fasting

Summary

Elder Neal Phelan Jr. preaches on the biblical practice of fasting, emphasizing its spiritual significance as a voluntary act of self-denial to seek God's face. He explains different types of fasts, rebukes the hypocritical fasting of the Pharisees, and illustrates fasting through various Old Testament examples such as David, Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther. The sermon highlights fasting as a powerful aid to prayer, a means of humbling oneself before God, and a way to seek divine guidance and intervention during trials.
