Fat:
Like prayer, fasting is to be done in private.


--- Quote ---Matthew 6:16 NAS

 "Whenever you fast, do not put on a gloomy face as the hypocrites do, for they neglect their appearance so that they will be noticed by men when they are fasting. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full.

Matthew 6:18 NAS

so that your fasting will not be noticed by men, but by your Father who is in secret ; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.

And with prayer, fasting has power when the two are used to complement each other.


--- Quote ---Matthew 17:21 NAS
["But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting."]

Moss:
The purpose of fasting is to help you in prayer not to accomplish anything else.

In the short of it, you are correct that is the end result  :)

TheTruth3:
Fasting is something that seems to be circumstantial. All throughout the Word of God, people engage in this type of activities when there's a significant event that's imminent. Therefore, they run to God through fasting for protection.

Should it be limited to the time of need (foxhole prayer) or should it be a matter of scheduled practice?
