Let’s Talk Fasting | Cory Tobin
Fasting isn’t about religious pressure or extreme rules—it’s about intentionally setting time aside to hear from God, strengthen your spirit, and reset your priorities. In this message, Pastor Cory brings biblical clarity to what fasting actually is, why Scripture emphasizes fasting from food, and how it positions us to experience real spiritual breakthrough.
Drawing from both the Old and New Testaments, this teaching shows that fasting is meant to get our attention, quiet our flesh, and tune our hearts to what God wants to say and do in us. When done with the right heart, fasting breaks yokes, loosens burdens, and creates space for God’s power to work in deeper ways.
This message invites every believer to ask God meaningful questions during a fast: What have You called me to do? Give me the power to do it. Increase Your anointing in my life. Give me a heart for the advancement of Your kingdom.
If you’re starting a fast—or simply want to understand why fasting matters—this message will ground you in Scripture, strengthen your resolve, and help you step into the new year with purpose and power.
