But fasting in a time to reach God closer, to open up more so that the Holy Spirit can fill it. Sometimes we don't need to fast on good food, but on junk food. If we fast from bad foods and eat good foods, our bodies will be in a healthier state and our bodies will be a healthy temple for the Holy Spirit. Fasting helps in prayer and meditation, it helps not to let yourself be controlled by the flesh, which is your sinful nature. It is also part of repentance and confession of sins, and God will help you in a mighty way. In the amazing power of God, he will always transform you, fasting is a good way to receive it and open yourself to him. Fasting is not always necessary to avoid food, it can be things that prevent us from walking towards God. Each of us has so many different weaknesses in life, which we just need to avoid. The devil uses these weaknesses in our lives and gives us temptation, which can lead us to sin. Therefore, if we fast from the things that we know the devil can use against us, that will lead us into sin, we must fast from it. In this way, it gives us space for God to work in our lives, giving us grace, mercy, space for the Holy Spirit to help us. It will bring us closer to doing God's will in our lives, instead of the cycle of sin, we can free ourselves from it
