Hunger for Jesus

How is your relationship with God?
Have you lost your passion?
Have you simply grown dull?

Abraham Lincoln said “Give me six hours to chop down a tree, and I will spend the first four sharpening the ax.”

Two facts Lincoln knew very well, as do all who work with such tools:
1. A dull ax makes for far more work
2. A dull ax can be much more dangerous than a well-sharpened one.

Ecclesiastes 10:10 If the ax is dull, and one does not sharpen the edge, then he must use more strength; but wisdom brings success.

Wisdom is taking the required time to sit down with a file, an ax stone, and some oil to put the proper edge back on the ax.

You regain the edge in your life in much the same way that you regain the edge on an ax by stopping what you are doing and carefully applying the right tools.

Comfortable: being in a state of physical or mental comfort; contented and undisturbed.

* Too many of Christ followers are too comfortable and
* we dont like our ways being interrupted or disturbed. 

Declaring a spiritual fast is a means of interrupting the dulling effects of lifes routines.
* Fasting is taking time to regain the edge
* Fasting is a secret source of power that is overlooked by many.

What does Fasting do?
* Fasting and Prayer bring you closer to God.
* Fasting is not a requirement. It is a choice

Whenever a believer chooses to begin a spiritual fast for one day or for several days, he or she makes a chose to break out of the routine in order to draw closer to God.

In Matthew 6 Jesus provided the pattern by which each of us is to live as a child of God.

That pattern addressed three specific duties of a Christian:
* Giving, praying and fasting.
* Ecclesiastes 4:12 A Threefold cord is not quickly broken.

Could we be missing our greatest breakthroughs because we fail to fast?

Do you need to regain the edge?
