Glorified Fasting

The ABC of Fasting

De: Franklin Hall

Narrado por: Benjamin Regan

"Stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.... Comfort your hearts; and stablish you in every good word and work.... Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word; of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you.” (II Thess. 2:15, 17; 3:1)

Fasting, like prayer, is a part of the word of God. To dispute this would be as foolish as denying water is wet. Shall we stand fast on this irrevocable “tradition”, which we have been taught in the word, since it is indisputably a part of the word of God? Let us pray that it will “have free course, and be glorified” in its proper place, in order that Jesus may receive more glory and honor from his children. The purpose of this volume is to popularize perhaps one of the most downtrodden of all Biblical subjects, and assist in the author’s small way to reestablish this part of the Gospel, bringing it out in all its glorious aspects. We are dealing with a tremendous portion of the Word—able to open up an avenue to tremendous power and glory with Jesus for the mutual welfare of his body, and the bringing of a mighty last day revival. By the proper utilization of fasting, praying, crying, and mourning for souls, and by going into the fasting-prayer without a selfish motive, many pillars of the faith can pull together in this travail to such an extent that when tragedy, destruction, persecution, and the rest of the last-day signs approach us more closely, we will have at our disposal a most effective weapon to carry us through for the glory of Jesus.

It is not the purpose of this book, or any of the other articles on the subject of fasting, to leave an impression that this practice is the Scriptural cure-all for spiritual, moral, and bodily complaints. Emphasis is given the subject for the purpose of quickly enlightening God’s people who seem to be “falling away” from the old-time faith, and to prevent the unhappy drift toward modernism that is so sweeping the land.

We do not emphasize fasting for the purpose of bragging, or for such great merit that it would be boasting before our God, but we are pressing it forward with such tempo so that the children of the Bridegroom will become more quickly and fully prepared for the closing of this Holy Spirit dispensation.

This work has grown to such an extent, we have had to give up the revival auditorium. The author is devoting his entire time to the work of fasting, even discontinuing most of the traveling speaking engagements, in order to assure it greater success and promotion over the world for the mutual welfare of Christendom and the Kingdom of God.

To make it even easier to grasp, the author has gone to additional expense in constructing drawings, diagrams, and charts for numerous cuts to bring forth quickly through the eye-gate, this precious vital truth of orthodox Christianity. May the listener be blessed by them. This was done solely for the purpose of glorifying our most lovable Jesus. In the name of Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, we, therefore, dedicate this work to Jesus. May it bring praise and honor of him. Revelation 22:17-21.
