From the Rewards of Fasting by Mike Bickle and Dana Candler

P38 "It is a privilege beyond comprehension that weak humans can experience the depths of God’s heart. This is our inheritance and our destiny."

P39 "Just as there will be no fasting in the age to come because we will be face to face with Him, it would have been unnecessary for the disciples to fast when the God who rejoices in the human heart was their daily companion."

"Lovesickness is mourning for the loving presence of Jesus as the Bridegroom God. No one can console our lovesick hearts except Him."

"A heart that does not mourn for more of Him is a heart that accepts its current state of spiritual barrenness as tolerable and livable."

"A mourning heart is fiercely discontent; it has a desperate hunger for God."

P40 "Spiritual hunger is a divine gift that leads us to seek greater experiences of His love, regardless of the cost. It causes us to be willing to make whatever changes are necessary in our hearts and lives in order for love to have its way."

"We were made to love and be loved by God and He has made us to crave Him until our heart cry is answered."

P41 "Mourning and fasting for our Bridegroom is our way of positioning our hearts to live by desire for God and not by the lusts of this age."

"“Fasting serves as a catalyst to increase the depth and the measure to which we receive from the Lord. By fasting we receive greater measures of revelation at an accelerated pace, which has a deeper impact on our hearts."

P42 "The Bridegroom fast tenderizes our hearts so dullness is diminished and we are able to experience the affections of God in greater measure."

"“Spiritual hunger is a divine agent that leads us to greater love. It is an instrument that makes room for love and purity in our hearts and expands our souls."
