simplicity as getting into the presence of Jesus -------------------- I sense that intentional poverty, simplicity and mobility is the lifestyle of a servant of Jesus. Any establishment builds something between Jesus and you. Therefore most people do not experience God. Fasting is a helpful practice to strip off all obstacles that hinder you from fellowship with Jesus. This practice should be done regularly as a means of cleansing and sobering. The body and the mind need fasting to find back to essentials that are the main building blocks of life.
