Fasting that Pleases the Lord

Aaron Ninaber

Jan 19, 2025

This Sunday, Aaron Ninaber kicked off our series "Closer: 21 Days of Prayer + Fasting." What kind of fasting truly pleases the Lord? In this message, we uncover the heart behind biblical fasting as revealed through examples like Moses, Daniel, Esther, and Isaiah 58. God’s desire is not for empty rituals or outward displays but for a fast that alligns with His will to bring freedom, healing, and justice. Fasting that pleases the Lord is rooted in love—love for Him and for others it’s focus is not simply the absence of food, but the presence of God—sustaining, guiding, and empowering us.
