“When you fast…” [Matthew 6:16] and the reason I turned you there, there’s a couple of reasons but the main reason is: not “if” you fast but “when” you fast. He’s expecting us to fast in our surrendered life, denying ourself to understand this concept - that we want to renew ourself in the spirit of our mind. True? And we don’t want those hidden things of the heart to be nipping us in the bud all the time. Right? Do you want that? Do you want little hidden things of the heart, little selfishnesses, little unfairnesses, little unbeliefs, little mindsets of anexieties, fear, self preservation - do you want them to stay alive and be maintained and mix them with the gospel? I know I don’t. I don’t believe you do. I don’t believe you’re in this school to do that.1
