Last week we talked about Consecration which means to separate ourselves from the noise and the normal routines of life and come away to be with your heavenly Father in prayer. It may include fasting if you so choose. Fasting will merely help you. It is not mandatory. It will help you be more spiritually sensitive and provide more opportunity for you to get alone with God.
