Prayer and Fasting

Summary

The sermon emphasizes the importance of prayer and fasting as spiritual disciplines that draw believers closer to God by humbling themselves and dying to self. It highlights the proper attitude in fasting, which involves seeking God's will, helping others, and living righteously rather than performing religious acts for selfish reasons. The preacher references Isaiah 58 to illustrate true fasting as acts of justice, mercy, and compassion. The message encourages believers to walk by faith, rely on the imputed righteousness of Christ, and maintain a sincere, heartfelt relationship with God.
