Isn't fasting something we do in order to get "extra" ? ie healing, annointing, answer, etc. ?
I don't see any threads titled "Holy Magic Diet" ..
Is the power in sacrificing the food ?
The teaching is, if your not getting your prayer answered, fast. Does that not put power behind the act of fasting ? How is that different from a womans choice to have uncut hair ?
Not saying it should be required, but if not eating can bring answers otherwise not given, then why would this be any different ?

I don't think we fast to get power. I do realize that the operation of the gifts come about from prayer and fasting but gifts are gifts and can't be obtained through our obedience. I have seen some very carnal people operate in the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
The purpose of fasting, prayer, or any type of communion with God helps US to have a better understanding of out own gifts and to discipline our flesh. It isn't easy to fast, pray, or read out bible but by doing these things we get out of the way so that God can minister in our lives.
