2)    PRAYER & FASTING
Fasting as a discipline has multiple benefits:
-    We learn that God’s word to us is a life substance (Matt. 4)
-    We learn to feast on the Lord and doing his will.  (John 4:32,34)
-    It’s a way of practicing the self-denial that is required of everyone who would follow Christ (Matt. 16:24).
-    It teaches temperance or self-control and therefore teaches moderation and restraint with regard to all our fundamental drives.
